Aye... so you're not in PFP right now then I take it? Phew, at least you said Pecs and not something else! But Yea, I dont really care if the run is only a 1.5m, in my opinion if I see someone do 1.5m then collapse because thats ALL they can do... they dont really deserve to be wearing that...

Its funny that you mention body armour and public image Thompson... I was having the same discussion with my 'boss' boss at work last fridays meeting. Basically one of the local PD constables was telling me and another guard about some of the local street thugs who like to carry weapons...

Hey thompson... I never did ask did you complete? or are you still in a PFP program? And yea... I was just talking to my boss the other day from work (security) and was telling him about my future goals.. he was all gun-ho to go calling up police recruiters and giving a phone-reference for me...

Well, I'm just going to ignore the huge quagmire that has started and continue on the discussion. As per ruddiger your comments about the EMT course.... I agree and have always agreed that PFP needs to put a 'foot down' we'll say... for their course. I'm sure other schools run their courses...

I can understand how you see it as being a violation of the charter rights... but it IS voluntary... says so right on the form (I have one infront of me). It also states that this is used to determine just how many of their applicants are of a minority... this would help them to see if their...

To say that police and law enforcement are shrinking is a big no no... everyone and their dog has heard about the plan to hire # of officers across ontario in the next few years. I know personally our local small town police service has already hired 1 officer due to this hand out of money.

little ruddiger, no offence but it sounds like you had a really poor time trying to get recruited.... no sense in trying to discourage everyone from being a police officer simply because you couldnt get hired. it seems that there is always people who are bitter from being rejected, once again...

ShawnSmith, This is why the thread is here... As I said young people who just finished highschool etc and are looking into law enforcement would be best suited to take this course. Dont take what we say for 100% truth, my experiences will be different than yours.. also depending on the school...

While on this particular topic too.... does anyone have any working information of armoured car services? As far as job training.. pay.. getting your foot in the door for a law enforcement job? The company I work for right now, Group 4 Falck, which is now Group 4 Securicor, I am looking into...

Now im being told over-eager is a bad thing... ? I can understand what you're saying about not wanting to look like a gun nut... but my understanding is bring all the skills you can to the table. Which I intend to do

Hatchett Man you bastard... why are you springing this private college one me NOW :P I forgive you... but seriously... look at those students! Those students want to learn... want to become police officers... uniformity. I LIKEY. Anyone looking for a roomate in mississauga? :) Although I take...

Oh and also for cpl. thompson's first question... the instructors I have had are all top notch... they enhance the course.. but if they are just teaching shit content than they cant help it. I have had 4 ex police officers, 1 university grad with years and years in psychology and other fields...

Granted... but they should be leaning more towards police.. instead of security work and corrections (which seems to be the focus) provide co-op terms with police forces, the chance to do volunteer work WITH police instead of just dances and fundraisers, have daily or bi-daily fitness classes...

See my reply in the firefighters thread for more insight... But this is what I want to see, some discussion to help me decide if they want to keep my $1300 for this semester or give it back :) I can agree with alot said so far, namely from the course itself, they TALK alot about 'being...

Ugh... dont even get me started on the actual police type training we do in PFP. I just about to the point that I am going to get my money back for this semester, and go to another college to continue... simply because this particular campus gives us NOTHING except a few volunteer initiatives...

Aye... i almost wish they made us wear some sort of uniform at school... you should see the slobs that pass for post-secondary students these days. Not to mention when they go out in public wearing the shirts, cursing and swearing at restaurants and acting like no one knows who/what they are...

As far as I know we dont do polygraphs up here in canada.... we do psychological testing that determines the way you think.... but we dont use polygraph's

wow... all the time and committment it takes to become a police officer, and these people are just throwing it away with stupid stupid actions.

yea but you know... i just came back in 2nd semester this year for police foundations, as I took of 2nd semester last year. anyways i've noticed the 'new batch' is all gun-ho, almost 95% have police foundations jackets, pants, hats, sweaters, shirts you name it. i guess some people just like...

Well, excuse my butting in here.. but i really do have a nagging question for ya'll firemen. i KNOW we have a thread dedicated to spoofing off the opposing service be it fire/ambulance/police. but come on, it really IS true about the 'how do you know when a firefighter is in the room, he'll...
