It's what you make of it. 

Rocksteady, every different type of policing has its ups and downs and you can't compare them. You simply have to find the policing that suits you. All the cops I know that work in large city departments did high volume initial response for a number of years before they ever started actually...

Quote from: CombatMacguyver on May 28, 2015, 08:31:27 Why should the LCol be punished for his success to make it easier for the Cpl?  I say this as a lowly Cpl... The question is why do we pay different amounts based on rank?  Is the disruption to a Col greater than the disruption to a Cpl? Or...

Often during the "negotiations" between the Crown and defence, some charges are withdrawn.

MM That article was right on the money!

Ahhh, Prentice was too good for the little work. Our bad we should have recognized his greatness. Reminds me of a recruit we had once. Had many academic post nominals after his name. Put them all on his card. He couldn't understand why he wasn't made an Inspector immediately. Couldn't we...

Brad He ran for MLA, he won. So doing the job he was elected to do is beneath him? He told Albertans that if he was their Premier he was going to follow the plan he laid out. Albertans before the election said very strongly they agreed with most of his plan but strongly objected to a couple...

Albertans will always have the rural - urban back and forth. But the rural areas often did well under the PCs. Many miles of well paved roads even to lower population areas. Airports with paved strips and small terminals where other provinces would never pay for them. Not many people flying to...

Brad S, So you volunteer to fix a problem,  use an autocratic style that offends all your subordinates and when toppled from your throne you decide that the minions don't appreciate you and scurry into the night. Without so much as leaving some plan for your loyal followers to carry on. You...

Just remember that when / if you get to having an outside / independent organization investigating these issues that criticism of the CF won't suddenly disappear. What you will also see is the same persons / groups who criticize now will continue to do so. It just gives them two or more groups...

Many people I know (personal non scientific poll) hoped for a minority NDP govt. Something for a change but without the mandate to go crazy. Integrity was a huge issue and many just felt Prentice doesn't have it.

The only one to blame was the PCs. They went out of their way to offend regular people.  They could have succeeded. It was like they were so determined to prove they could do whatever and no one would dare to say no.  Those that wanted something else had no choice. Unless you could stomach the...

On a happy note. Today the nicest supply tech consented to exchanging my OD green rain gear for cadpat rain gear.  No more comments from RegF and PRes about my unprofessional appearance on rainy days. Third try in 12 months was a charm. She even offered up new T shirts since I haven't asked for...

So this discussion should be "parked"?! 

I would agree with Greenwood that there are no hard and fast equivalents in the ranks between each. Most RCMP Inspectors have at least 20 years experience. They are more at the Major level. Also MWOs don't equate to Staff SMs and CWOs to SMs. RCMP SMs are ceremonial ( mostly) positions.  There...

In the RCMP, Inspectors and up are supposed to be the "strategic" thinkers / planners. Not many see much of any street policing after being commissioned. Cpls, Sgts, S/Sgts are the "operational / tactical" leaders. I have found that our best officers are those with solid operational...

"Relief" is when it happens to some other police service. 

Kat S I believe it is called "spin". something the boss does when he realizes that someone "probably" just screwed the pooch and the whole world is going to know about it. AB

Do you have any examples of police services that issue and wear cadpat as duty wear? As for the half trained trigger happy comment, I will leave that as your assessment based on your extensive military experience. AB
