I'll allow our vehicle turn over is quite high. I'll also say I've mostly only seen the fleets of a couple of our larger Detachments here in the Lower Mainland. I can say with absolute certainty if you get close to them, you'll see the absolute carnage of torn up decals, minor damage too...

Boy have I got news for you :ROFLMAO:

I think the actual why is the contractor can't make our old ones anymore so something HAD to be done.

Maybe so, but the RCMP has only been to Afghanistan once so I just find it weird they felt the need to specify dates when other Canadian units didn't. Many of those units, especially in the Reserve, didn't have members deployed for the entire mission but got the dateless "Afghanistan" honour...

A couple observations: 1) A new Guidon was presented to the National police force and they couldn't convince the Governor General to show up? 2) Some aspects (Specifically the WW2 honour, but also the inclusion of GRC) have been changed in the name of bilingualism, others haven't. Interesting...

That wouldn't work, the UK would actually demand we hold up our end of the bargain...

I always found his input to discussions here valuable, including when he disagreed with me and caused me to reconsider my own positions. A sad loss for our community here. RIP, Sapper.

The election is over and decided before the polls in those ridings close. Ontario and Quebec dictate to Western Canada what our government will be.

I have one of their belts, and had a run made for my Regiment. It took a significant base order in order to get the webbing made, but they came through for us and they ended up being worn by the most senior ranks of the Regiment.

Given that's the best that most Reserve units can hope for, the broad scope answer is probably best summed up as "the Reg Force". Yes I completely understand they also have these vehicles to work with, but that's ALL some of us have to work with...

Everybody is getting discounts these days. I would argue for a first time offender that sentence is both standard and reasonable whether a soon to be former police officer or not.

I also feel sympathy, but admittedly very little. Despite making very good money, I'm priced out of the market right now mostly for reasons beyond my control. I need a correction, at least a small one, to make any progress. But I'll also allow my tolerance for risk is pretty low and it is, as...

We're in violent agreement. Pair that with banks and the government keeping interest rates artificially low and not only enabling but encouraging Canadians to take extreme amounts of debt while printing boatloads of cash and I foresee a very big back blast on this. I am in no way shape or form...

"It's not like we're struggling for work or anything. We make good money. We have good jobs, but it's just, we want to be able to live our lives and not be putting every dollar toward a mortgage" Sounds like a sob story as of this line to me. You overspent, you took the risk of a variable rate...

And another thread, devolved into dress and deportment. We're right on schedule, gents.

The issued toque is actually a running joke in the force, it took years to roll out, required multiple surveys and yet is somehow universally reviled from coast to coast and even up north where they claimed it was designed for. It looks like a deflated jellyfish on your head. There's a couple...

I should clarify my comment about the members being frustrated is over the experienced police officer hiring program, every one of those newly hired members get their choice of post, or specialty depending on their previous history. And while I know its not as simple as "I want that job so it...

Say goodbye to GD hiring if that's the case, there's so many members who endure the slog of GD and contract positions to get a shot at that higher level investigating and specialty work... Oh I can skip having to deal with mental health crisis and the public and their problems and a dose of...

The new block training package does a pretty good job of giving members some techniques to get back on their feet and/or get control, but like Booter said these skills are useless without the time to practice, of which there is none.

Texts with 15-year-old girl at centre of early investigation into Surrey, B.C. police officer before his death Yeah so not at all what I expected from him. He was a member of the same PRes unit as I am, a watch mate when he was a Mountie and had been assigned by SPS to my same watch and...
