Re: Engineering Degree to RCMP Applicant (or others)
Here's some brutal honesty as you requested: Maybe do some research into what police officers actually do, then ask yourself just how valuable a background in chemical engineering would be. I have and have seen that an individual who has an engineering degree can become a specialist/technician in t...

Re: Female spouses in depot
Wrong forum. You should be posting this in a forum dedicated to relationship advice.

Re: No Call Too Small Philosophy
I would suggest your provincial management read up on the current state of the economics of policing. Agencies are being held more accountable for the (very expensive) time spent by sworn police officers and are typically looking for efficiencies. That said, assuming you have clearly written policy ...

Re: What type of I.D. is appropriate?
If you're showing up at a crime scene and you get jammed up by a police officer who needs to establish exactly who you are and under what authority you're expecting entry before he or she allows you in, then that means the perimeter security is working exactly as it should, not that your ID card is ...

Re: warm fun place to go
Huatulco is great. Very laid back, no Wal-Marts, Burger King, or Senor Frogs...and smoking hot. Being on the beach at high noon actually hurt, the sun was so strong.

Re: Open Cuff cases and Handcuff care
There is no way in hell I can get a radio, OC, taser, pistol, mag pouch, flashlight, baton, and two sets of cuffs on my belt without having something on the back. There just isn't enough real estate. Two open-top cuffs above the hip pocket is about as good as it gets. Taser? Doesn't the taser go on...

Re: Quitting after grad
I'd say someone who quits one month after training renders their training pretty much useless. That's why you typically need at least two years on to be considered an experienced member for hiring purposes, and that's if you're a serving member, and even then most services make you jump through all ...

Re: Its the RCMP's fault I almost killed a pedestrian ...
That's a great story. I hope it makes the news far and wide because frankly, he's so out to lunch it supports the police position more than it does his own. Who doesn't read that and correctly conclude that the guy is pond scum?

Re: Homeowners crying foul over police-related property taxe
$1100 a year? That's a pretty inexpensive property tax bill if you ask me.

Re: The Sad Truth - Cannot Get Hired - Some Advice and Thank
I created this post over 8 months ago. I am now 34. It has taken me 6 years of off and on focus and determination, to gain the life experience needed to become a competitive recruit candidate and change my life around. Of course, this post and general Blue line reading has kept me inspired. I recen...

Re: Background checks
I'm pretty sure that somewhere along the lines of applying you sign a waiver giving them permission to access all of your medical, financial, employment, etc. records. This could include internet usage. It's easy for them to find out the IP address used at my home and check where I've been. Relax a...

Re: Advice on Training & Education
If I read your post correctly, you aren't interested in becoming a cop, but you want to get into Emergency/Disaster Management. That field has very little to do with policing. Have you researched that career at all, or have I misread something?
