This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

RCMP HAVING DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS



Last Saturday'S Waterloo Region Record carrys this story "High number of disciplined RCMP a sign of wider policing problem". The Professional Integrity Officer for the Mounties has released a new report indicating that a record 104 new formal discipline cases were brought forward in 2012-2013. "...the higher numbers are likely the result of a new effort by RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson - armed with a stronger government mandate- to crack down on problem officers.". A criminologist Prof. Darryl Davies has suggested the root of the problem infecting police across Canada is "...inadequate training, lack of accountability, and a culture of impunity among officers protected by powerful, "militant" unions.". Two solutions proposed are "A more rigorous approach is needed to restore faith in the RCMP and in police in general..." and "...deprogramming of a subculture in which officers place loyalty to one another above public duty.".
