You understand correctly. I have the 5.11 shirts for instructing. Magical.

Also I just want to point out that even in the Policing/RCMP part of the forum, the first law of Army.ca that all threads must devolve into a discussion of dress and deportment has been adhered to. Well done, gents.

Officer safety issue, the issued tie is a clip on so if it gets grabbed it pops off. But I'm confident when that decision was made there was a good amount of complaining to be heard from the various Sergeants Major.

My understanding is the head shed (in the case of uniform and dress matters that's the warrant group) is desperate to retain the grey shirts. There was a public opinion study commissioned that told them the public didn't really care what colour the shirt was as long as the member looked...

And all I want is a decent quality blue shirt. The RCMP's current grey looks terrible, is terrible quality, and lasts me maybe 2-3 months each.

The group chats I'm in are pissed off beyond belief. We'll see what happens when I appear at work tomorrow.

Of course the Mayor has come out and says she's sticking with the RCMP. I'm not sure anything more than the egos of the decision makers were taken into account. The dumpster fire burns on.

Fair enough. I've spent most of my career being told we do things poorly compared to literally everybody, and now I have the distinct pleasure of working in a Detachment that's halfway transitioned to a muni force that claims they're going to do everything better. And we're still waiting for the...

Please, explain to me what colonial paramilitary model policing looks like in comparison to the Sir Robert Peel model.

There's a lot of suggestions on ways to change the RCMP in that article, but literally nothing about how those changes are supposed to solve problems within the Force. I don't think, from my brief review of the article, it even mentions a significant issue facing the force in the article. I...

Deal. If NS does a full report on dumping the RCMP and keeps them anyways, I'll owe you one (1) beer, redeemable in the establishment of your choice should we ever cross paths.

We betting on Surrey or NS? :ROFLMAO:

That's what they said in Surrey, and now my watch has more SPS members than RCMP.

I agree with that. Big city lights and siren driving, to me, is to use them to get people to get out of your way, not drive along at ludicrous speeds hoping everybody has seen and heard you. Most drivers are oblivious, and most vehicles so soundproofed they can't hear your siren even if they are...

Getting awfully sick of hearing about dead cops. Strathcona County RCMP officer dies in collision northeast of Edmonton

And again we fall into the issue of not being able to impose a solution on them, but every attempt to help being looked at with a justifiably jaded point of view.

I suspect there would be even more significant difficulties in recruiting for and establishing such a force, given it would almost certainly have to start under the supervision and mentorship of the RCMP, which has it's own baggage as far as relations with Indigenous peoples.

I hope wholeheartedly that what you have to say is true. I strongly believe there is a balance to be struck between the benefits of the RCMP, national standardization etc of the Police forces and the local touch municipal forces bring to the table. EDIT: Grammar

He went elsewhere, having listened to the recruiter and was hired by a Muni on his first attempt. That was my understanding having spoken to this facilitator. No troop would go ahead unless the make up was meeting the desired numbers for diversity. I agree with you, because I made it through...

I'll generally agree, but I also have first hand info from a former colleague of mine where a family friend's son, who would be the third generation of RCMP from that family and who has catered his entire young adult life to a job with the force was straight up told by an unnamed E Division...
