    Sarge knows all the horses, Brigandier,

    I'll be waiting to hear what the Public will say regarding a service for Brigadier. We here in Vancouver had a service for one of our Police Dogs that was killed in the line of duty. All went well except for some vocal persons who believe that the Police shouldn't be using dogs as it is...

    Rebuilding the RCMP

    I think that you will find that the RCMP,VPD and the Military will be utilized for security of the Games. All three of these groups will have to work with each other and put their respective "egos" aside for the collective success of the event. The VPD has already started it's planning along...

    Reserves and the RCMP (and Other Civilian Police)

    In regards to Crown Loyal's question of us muni's being allowed to join the CF Reserves the answer is yes. There is nothing baring a municipal Police Officer from enrolling. As a matter of fact several of our members of the VPD are in the reserves.

    Respect our values or Leave

    What ever happened to Edward Campbell on this thread. I found his insight refreshing, and the fact that Australia has a politician that has a backbone to stand up and say things that we all believe is also refreshing. Maybe if we are lucky, the ideal of a Politician speaking the truth in a clear...

    Just who are we deling with?

    I'm with Zipper Head on this one. The media are often lead by their respective editors who appear to live by the addage of, "if if bleeds it leads". The concept of reporting in a balanced fashion is often foreign to the press. The media often use idiomatic expressions to expound upon their...

    Harriers for Navy/Air Force

    I read this whole thread and now have a greater understanding of the ESM spectrum and the JSF program, but what happened to the Harrier concept ? Besides it being an aging fighter with no endurance, the concept would be in the ballpark for the Canadian Politician to chose a platform that makes...

    Nathaniel Fick

    I enjoyed his text on his adventures. He pulls no punches and appears to tell the truth about the good and the bad.

    Wanting To Become a Mountie

    The training at the Justice Institute of British Columbia charges somewhere around $10,000. However, the Vancouver Police Department, once you are hired pay you immediately, and the cost of training can be deferred and paid over a period of time. Just another option open to those interested.

    RCMP+Terrorism

    You could look under the RCMP home page and refer to the two units know as INSET( Integrated National Security Enforcement Team) and IBET (Integrated Border Enforcement Team)...both have an investigative mandate to combat terrorism. If you are thinking of more of the operational side of the coin...

    Should the RCMP be doing provincial policing?

    I was being factious, the RCMP are alive and well in place at YVR. I would suggest it was a decision based on economic matters that resulted in the swap from RCMP to Peel Regional. One quick question. If the Peel Regional are at the Airport, then why do the RCMP do the investigations? As an...

    Rebuilding the RCMP

    I strongly believe that the education provided to our youth is lacking along the line somewhere. Our nations youth are more interested in short term Rather than than long term gain. Everybody wants to drive a new car and live a "million Dollar" lifestyle on a beer budget. The concept of debt...
