Arming Peace Officers

[Sk82]

I can almost see the same thing happening to Alberta CPO's that happened to Sask Highway Patrol when they tried to get side arms. They asked for sidearms because of the danger of stopping private vehicles, the Government turned around then told them to stop pulling over private vehicles

Although it is of my own personal opinion that any LEO conducting any type of traffic stop should have a side arm, I don't see this happening in my lifetime.

The Sol Gen's Office made it very clear that there were six things that they would not be looking at during this review and sidearms was one of them. So nothing is going to happen.

I think RJB typed a few comments at the bottom of the articles!

haha.. I didn't. But those dozens of concerned citizens share my opinion on it. Just say no to prop 423!

What were those six things that they weren't going to be looking at?

They are not going to be changing any of the current rules requiring any of the following things. Sidearms, unmarked vehicles, impaired driving, criminal code, 1 & 2 digit highways and file review requirements.

One of my partners said he was reading about one alberta community that was trying to arm their peace officers. Anybody hear that?

Go back and look on page 3.

Got to love our laws that would rather see the good guys handcuffed. CO's should have full police powers for everything. In the states, a peace officer whether police, corrections, conservation etc...all have the same powers. Should be that way here for us.

I 110% agree!
