Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

The CAF does not release information about summary proceedings; the RCMP transparency is very welcome and a sign of an organization that wants to improve.

You know maybe he has a point?

We should start charging a toll for travel through Canada to get to Alaska by land and Point Roberts, because "what does Canada get".

This will be the first big test of the new role of Inspector General. Depending on what third party he picks to conduct the probe, it can result is something workable - or not.

Can the IG only recommend or can they force change?

Pfft…those are rookie numbers.

Meanwhile, the criminal gangs known as ICE and CBP…

Accountability for ICE and CBP

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

www.doomsdayscenario.co

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. CBP’s misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink.

In total, according to CBP’s own discipline reports, over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024 — the last year numbers are available — at least 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents have been arrested themselves, some multiple times. (In 2018 alone, a single CBP employee was arrested five times.) To put that number in perspective:

• The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.

• Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

So it would appear that poor screening and rushed training are not the only reasons for the unprofessional thuggery We’re seeing down there …

There is a large difference though between arrested and charged/convicted. Given the interdepartmental frictions that exist, and ICE/CBP to assumptions as Federal agents they don't always need to notify local law enforcement they are operating in their backyard, they are probably quite often arrested/detained until stuff gets sorted.

That said, like any large organization whose members believe they are at the pinnacle of power, there are going to be bad apples who manipulate the system for their own benefit.

Wait, have we switched to talking about the CAF again?

Regarding rushed training, the two guys who shot the latest victim received around 5 or 6 months training.

That's on par with the RCMP at their depo, and more than Ontario Provincial Police I believe.

No idea. If I get time I will dig into the Act.

As the article I linked stated, the department also has an issue with criminal behaviour of officers well before this surge in recruitment.

Wonder if that's due to not paying people well enough, piss poor leadership or both...

Got to love your job.

That's low-key funny.

Girl is bragging she makes $200K as a physicians assistant after attending school for 7 years (which probably comes with some hefty debt)

ICE-Bro went to highschool and makes the same.

They have a retention problem. A lot of the people signing up (for ICE) are bailing because that 20-50k bonus as it turns out only materializes after 5 years.

A USCBP Customs Officer averages $86.3K US annually. A CBSA Border Services Officer averages $92K CAD.

 

[lenaitch]

Can the IG only recommend or can they force change?

I took a very quick look at the Community Safety and Policing Act. It appears that the IG has some direct authority in relation to non-compliance with their direction after an inspection, up to removing a chief of police (they can only recommend the removal of the OPP Commissioner since it is a Cabinet appointment.), police service board members, etc.

I suspect those authorities would not be applicable in this upcoming study since the parameters seem to be systemic rather than specific, but since this is new ground, who knows.
