Of note since my last post, I have bought two level IV 10 by 12 plates and an Eagle CIRCAS carrier that I have in my cruiser with me at all times now.  I'm not going to be a statistic if I can avoid it....

One of my buddies was troop mates with one of the fallen.  Took it pretty hard.  But we learn and move on.  I'm very interested about the "improved body armour" the last report recommended.  Nothing short of hard armour plates would have stopped the rifle that Rozko used.  Are we going to be...

+1 to what Limey said... I got $300 (approx) every two weeks when I went through.  But to be on the safe side, Depot recommends $5 - 6000, I say close to $8000.  You gotta have a life too, when they let you have it.  But the career thing is your choice.  As has been said, equally rewarding but...

The new Spyderco Endura 4 is what I carry at work... very nice.  Spyderco did some real modifications to the old model that in my opinion, make it a totally new knife.  To list: -  skeletonized steel liners in the handle -  screw down construction for ease of cleaning -  redesigned, reinforced...

NONECK!!!  How dare you say that the LMD is the only big town Policing there is!!  Are you casting shame on my fair city?  ;) I posted this in a previous thread discussing the new temporary Commish.  She is a class act.  I have yet to hear anyone say a bad word about Mrs. BUSSON, and she ran E...

To read her farewell to E Div, it sounds permanent.  I hope so... I've met Mrs. BUSSON before.  She is a class act, and I haven't heard a bad thing about her from anyone speaking about her.

The article ALSO says that the man failed to stop despite several verbal warnings.  In these days of suicide bombers that roll right up to you in cars and on motorcycles, you only have bare seconds to make the call to drop a potential threat.  How about staying faaarrr away from security...

Concur, better him than us.  Stop means stop, especially when it's a man that will kill you if you don't telling you to do it.  I've been a LONG standing believer that the ROE's should change to nobody on a motor vehicle within 100 metres.... anywhere inside of that is dealt with immediately and...

You seem to have me confused with someone else.  I'm no fan of Mr. Zaccardelli, I'm simply saying that there is a lot of uninformed opinion being casually thrown about in here which is quite frankly, insulting.  And comments like this, "When an ordinary person appears in court and says they're...

That's quite the statement.  How can you articulate a constructive comment about something unless you have some background in it or some base of knowledge?!?  That's like criticizing a fireman for not putting out a fire quick enough.  Or a paramedic for not doing enough to save a life.  If you...

Well... lot of armchair detectives in here.... Mistakes were made, atonement has also been made.  MOVE ON. And just as a side salad to that, don't see fit to comment on the in's and out's of complex investigations until you have done one.  I'm IN the RCMP, and I'm not making comments like...

Not to be nit-picky, but I wish that if subjects posting in Police related topics are saying they are Police Officers, they should fill out more info in their profiles.  That may help to alleviate some of the questions as to someone's credibility....

Rregtc-etf I agree, but only to a point.  I'll conceed that my military time did nothing to prepare me for investigative techniques and the like.  However, the pace and long hours of Depot were a non-issue for me, as I was now accustomed to having to be up for days on end from the military.  A...

Zipperhead... +1...

Wow, I just saw this thread.  Shot's fired.... I feel I have to weigh in here.  I can't help that think my military time helped with my application, because without it, I didn't bring much to the table.  I had a grade 12 education, and a background in security work (as in security guard, and...

I would like to speak to whoever that recruiter is.  I have two visible tattoos, and I'll be damned if the RCMP is going to tell me that they have to be covered up by a long sleeve shirt.  They are not offensive tattoos, and I think the RCMP would be walking a fine line if they started saying...

North Korea States Any Pressure From The US Will Be Seen as an Act of War From CBC "North Korea said Wednesday that any increase in pressure from the United States against the communist country would be viewed as an act of war. North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that North...

Ahead of you there.  Wearing a set of Ingenius socks right now.  Certainly comfortable, but I still find when I am doing hard work in the bush, I get blisters with just one sock.

That's a weak connection to the CF, at best.  I'm surprised the media even mentioned it.  I was still learning how not to shit my pants when my Section Leader in Basic walked past me at one month.  I think the discipline is likely what pushed him out. Too bad, because I don't like to think...
