    RCMP union bid headed to Supreme Court

    I am a member and it is certainly going to make for interesting times...I had worked for a municipal police service before joining the Force and was unionized. Our current SRR program is broken and needs fixed. A full blown union/association is probably not the all out answer either. At the end...

    Powers of arrest conflict??

    I will gladly swallow a huge chunk of humble pie if you are telling me Force Policy has changed and I can get back into it. I'm going to venture a guess it is in AM, is it under a bulletin or green sheet?

There is usually some significance behind qualification badge. I have a contact...

    EOD Hazard Badge

    Being a Police Explosives Technician, I have had to work/train with CF EOD Techs. Unfortunately, none have been able to tell me anything about the EOD Hazard Trade Badge. I would like to know what the design means and when was it registered with the office of Heraldry as it does have a crown...
