total disaster, JP's back in the day routinely locked up anyone who showed a past history of violence and/or armed offences. now.......totally opposite. hopefully a change in government will switch things up, but - the Supreme Court is unelected and seems loath to keep bad girls/guys inside...

well, i have been away from patrol for a bit - will be back into it shortly. but i have plenty of contacts in the game, that relate that the level of aggression towards the police seems elevated ie) bad guys don't always run away any more. they ram the police cruisers. and as far as past...

yep, and becoming a bit of a trend, I don't recall having a series of regular LODD's such as been over past 6 months.

not quite unionized, no right to strike - more of a collective bargaining unit or easier put - an Association, at least in Ontario where I work.... as far as protecting dead weight goes, that is a minefield of its own, as the Association is expected to defend its members adequately - at risk...

the first problem with handling this was the Ottawa chief, who hoped it would just go away. instead, it was he who went away

yikes! last time i looked at a TPS roster, the divisional cars were few and far between, which can't help if still the same.....

Happy birthday to all the Patricias out there.......!

Not sure about attrition from getting posted provincially. Yes some might book it, but if there's only one job in province, leavers would not likely to have as many options to move out to "rural" Ontario, as it currently stands. Ontario municipal departments are losing people in droves to the...

albeit, Netherlands is much smaller geographically, and has roughly half of our population......

a massive amount of staff work. but its not impossible - for instance - in Ontario/Quebec - it could be legislated by either provincial government. the rest of the country - would need to stand up provincial police to cover off the former RCMP contracts for the province and for certain...

I have worked with a number of European cops, who are all quite puzzled by the Canadian/American patchwork of police approach. Typically, they have a handful of very large services, and as far as I have learned from them, very few have a huge batch of smaller departments tied to local...

i think you have the known numbers correct. what you and i do not know, is what actually transpired before, during and after. as i already stated. i believe someone kicking in your door with the intent of harming someone inside should be fair game. its just not the case in Canada. self...

rather doubt laying the charge was a fun filled activity. think the problem is the law as it stands is not clearly defined and there are a lot of moving parts, and we don't know what actually happened minus whatever the homeowner/accused's lawyer is saying, which will only be in favour of his...

think you'd really have to consider what deploying in exceptional circumstances means.

Perhaps time to utilize Suffield for our own training? Im sure we can still help out our Brit cousins....

nothing worse - a jealous boss.

someone who loves getting kicked around by everyone, right or wrong. horrible job.

what's your point?

hard no. when the police attend whatever call, they have no idea if the people they are dealing with are, or are not armed. what happens next is a reaction to the force displayed by the person(s) being dealt with. 99 per cent of the time, they do not act violently or display a weapon...
