Redcap C If interested the RCMP is looking at full troops this year (just under 1000 cadets) going through Depot with an expectation that Alberta will get over 300 of those graduates. Majority of the rest will be going to BC. Plus you can stay in the PRes (just not MP) if you wish. ...

There was a lot of talk about 10 - 15 years ago about trying some form of geographic pay scale and also "specialist" pay levels. But the argument was successful that it would be too much time, energy, money to set up and to administer with regular updates.  There was a lot of talk that there...

JJT.  Fyi, the RCMP has used a geographic allowance only a couple times for certain high cost areas. Toronto was one. At present only Ft MacMurray gets one. And it is paid for by the municipality I have been told. But we also don't get IR. If you chose for whatever reason to go on a posting...

Possibly her father in law can help with career options. For the curious, look up Dennis Surrendi and his book on his life experiences including being a Canadian drafted into the U.S. Army.

FJAG Fair enough the last part about the orders being valid only in their originating province was over simplified. I was simply hoping to make the point that people should not expect that if their ex departs to another location that they should automatically expect the parenting / custody...

A most important part is to do some research and get a lawyer who is well regarded in family law - custody issues. Every consult with a lawyer, all pre court prep, every court appearence by the lawyer (or their agent) costs YOU. But if you get a less expensive lawyer who is not very experienced...

PP05 Excellent, great to hear. AB

PP05 Regarding the two themes you feel that you are seeing: 1) I don't think you understood my point. Most members I know don't truly make money. The total market goes up and the difference in original purchase and proceeding sale / next purchase is simply eaten up by the higher price. Joe...

PP05 Sorry I have to disagree with your rationale. I have found that most govt employees (CF, RCMP, PS) that I have talked to who have had to make physical moves in their career usually "make" money on their house as the whole market goes up. In effect not really making money at all as the next...

Just a couple points; Not sure where the "armed" US Customs people are ? Take a closer look when you walk through that US preclearence at Canadian airports. This whole thing is about the will to make it happen. Not far away is a substantial RCMP presence at Parliment. Why not have a member...

MM The procedure is the same in Alberta. When obviously dead EMS would not have treated the deceased further and are not to transport him/her to a hospital.

SL, I can`t agree with your comments. Having just completed reading all the public material (as I am guessing that you have) we can say that the Commission report clearly states that the three investigations were deeply flawed. The Commission agrees that the investigation into the exact nature...

HM, Everyone has issues with diversity. Policing is just a hard sell for many in this day and age. I just know that if we closed Contract Policing and every member wanted to stay. The Feds would never let us keep the bodies. Amending the Police Act would be no big deal for that. Other...

BA 1916 I equate that with the RCMPs (and many other Police Services, but not the MPs) decision to not tell people to go out and get Criminology Certificates/Diplomas/Degrees. We want a diverse pool of people and yes we like to teach them our way. I have seen new members with Masters Degrees...

HM,  No I didn't confuse staffing and recruiting. Due to recruiting deficiencies in the 90s early 00s several Canadian Depts held International recruiting drives, mainly in the UK in order to get experienced officers when UK Depts were conducting their mass reductions. Vancouver, Calgary...

Regarding Quantico and FLETC. You also have to remember that many of the US Federal agencies also recruit from the pool of City, County, State and other lesser Federal enforcement officers. This gives them a pool of "new" people often with lots of practical experience. In effect what the RCMP...

i don't think that moving the Force out of Contract Policing will suddenly open up a pool of applicants for the new Provincial police forces that you feel should be formed. If that were true Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto wouldn't have had the problems that they have had in the last decade...

Some time ago they let us into CIC and then eventually PRes. I went back into the CIC in 2006 while in northern MB after leaving in 1987. Too old to start fresh in the PRes. Only restrictions are MPs and Rangers as far as I have heard. I enjoy helping the kids and in the small towns there are...

MM, I know how you feel. It is hard to some times to compare an offer of an OT shift VS reserve pay. I volunteered to go with a bunch of cadets for an 8 day visit to Wainwright awhile back. During it a Reg Force Mbr made a comment about CIC and our lack of worthiness and he couldn't believe...

Some OT in policing can't be stopped with extra resources. There will always be continuing duty for investigations, court time, stat holidays, callouts in small non 24 hr locations. Usually the more specialized a member or smaller the Detachment - Unit the more likely there is OT. But OT to...
