My deapest sympathies are offered to the victim’s families in these tragedies. Police officers and anyone who wants to be a police officer has to take traffic matters very seriously. The impact on peoples lives of people driving carelessly, dangerously, or intoxicated probably equals the damage caused of almost all other crimes combined. Poor driving […]

It is important for both police services and the military to actively recruit to replenish their numbers. Services require additional personnel to replace retiring officers, and to handle expanding operations. Canada is becoming a more wealthy and influential country. As this editorial states, countries have a duty to protect their resources and their interests.

I know that a lot of people feel that certain crimes are victimless and shouldn’t be pursued by police. What’s the harm with someone choosing to do drugs? What’s the harm with someone deciding to use a prostitute? Whatever consenting adults do is up to them right?

I have personally spoken to dozens of […]

It will be interesting to see whether or not the government survives the throne speech that was introduced last night. A couple of things seem quite noteworthy in the speech.
First off was a decision to amend the Criminal Code so that those found guilty of three violent or sexual offences would have to convince a […]

Members of Saskatchewan’s gay community are suggesting that more needs to be done to make police services more accepting of gay officers and the RCMP has placed a recruitment ad in a Toronto-based gay lifestyle magazine. Recruiting is always a delicate situation with police services as it is a political hot button. I can’t speak […]

Police Officers have many weapons at their disposal that they are authorized to use in order to subdue resisting suspects. These weapons include asps, batons, pepper spray, tasers and firearms.
