Right, like every profession or career has a few bad apples.  But, when you are on the receiving end of disciplinary action from an MP or any other police officer, then people tend to look at the whole aspect negatively and try to focus their wrongs as the fault of an MP or police officer. ...

Yes, a police "SERVICE" is that, a service which in turn has clients to "protect and serve"(the military community and assets in this case).  Why not have some pride in your own police service specifically trained to serve the military community.  It sounds like you have some major personal...

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hello from Garison St-Jean.  I just finished my first week of basic.  Pretty intense and some course restructures.  Anyways, I just wanted to say that keep your heads up all you recruits and come here with a positive attitude and be prepared to help others. ...

Thanks for the reply. Since I haven't been through BMQ before I had no idea how often i would be able to go near my car.

I'm not sure when I was merit listed they never told me....the process lasted from August '04 to present day. So i would guess that my length of time is about average or on par with everyone else's entering the MP trade from what I hear.  Other trades seem to go quite expediently.  Oh yeah...

So I finally got my offer today, start BMQ April 26...Is anyone here attending that course?

I'm there!!  Got the call today.  Happy, happy, happy, happy and so on!!!!

Futuretrooper, you were correct in saying making an arrest just for shits and giggles is wrong....being a police officer is about serving your community and not just about making an arrest or ticketing just for the heck of it....i hope you do join for the right reasons, and i'm glad to see that...

If you are thinking of entering law enforcement in general, then be prepared to be disrespected period!  It's not a popularity contest.  A person who has gotten into trouble with the law will exaggerate things after being arrested or ticketed so they can attempt to make the cop look bad and at...

Of course MP experience is transferrable and valuable when you would switch over to a civi. service and get out on the road, already being experienced in the duties of a police officer.  My point was that joining a police service as a stepping stone to another police service would not  be looked...

I actually read a patent on this, it seems interesting but I have yet to see it or hear of anyone using them.  I guess the A/C in the patrol car will supplement for now.  I usually drive with one side of my carrier unattached to the velcro so the air can flow through, until they can actually put...

I think all here and in the process would agree with faster processing times.  With the new budget, maybe things will change, but with the amount of current applicants and apparent lack of resources, this problem will take some time to correct. The aptitude test is based on a Grade 10...

I, for one, am a little skeptical about the above misconceptions.  Although what you were told may be true/false, most civilian police services don't accept MP training or experience as equivalent or lateral, even though the training is comparable to that of the RCMP and other police training...

Nope, when you are sworn in as a police officer in Ontario, your 'jurisdiciton' or 'authority'  is throughout all of Ontario regardless of your employer.  Your responsibility is obviously your region, municipality whatever police service you work for..  Common sense would dictate that an Ottawa...

A civi cop's jurisdiction, here in Ontario, is throughout the entire province, as when they are sworn in there authority and 'jurisdiction'  is recognized throughout the province. Only if it relates to DND property or in relation to thereof...Sec. 494 is utilized when the peace officer status...

Being given extensive powers, peace officers (which is the status MP's are afforded under the crim. code for the purpose of enforcing DND laws, crim. code offences and provincial offences if they have special constable status to enforce the outlined acts and whichever) are compelled to exercise...

Ditto..It's great to have someone, especially a CF recruiter, who unselfishly assists CF applicants with whatever questions they have during off hours and his own spare time. My experience with the CFRC and the staff has been professional, courteous and pleasant...I have no complaints about the...

Febreeze usually works well to clean the panels and carrier,  providing you don't mind smelling like cheap perfume... but soap and water is probably better.  You sweat just as much in the winter from sitting in the patrol vehicle with the heat on full blast with a tactical sweater and breathable...

Your body armour is like underwear- you sweat in it and do god knows what else in it!!  I have let someone wear my body armour once in a past position and would hesitate to do so again unless it was absolutely necessary....You'd be hard pressed to find anyone, including myself,  who would agree...

In Halifax, the MP's have their last names sewn on the exterior of their body armour...i thought that was common and wouldn't that suffice instead of having a pin?
