WATERLOO REGIONAL POLICE: HERE WE GO AGAIN

Actually on second thought this is quite a bit different bad behaviour. As per today's Waterloo Region Record titled "Officer suspended over charges"; a local veteran police officer is charged with not picking on the general public but with having an unlicensed firearm and with uttering threats against two former colleagues. Oh my! It is a domestic situation involving a current female officer and a former Waterloo Regional Police male officer as well.

This behaviour kind of brings into focus the three suspended and then fired Regional officers who behaved badly regarding citizens requiring assistance when they used their Blackberry messenger service to make fun of them. Yes the comments and jibes were immature and unprofessional but while discipline and greater supervision were required, instead they were fired and the firing upheld earlier this week.

Something is definitely wrong with our Waterloo Regional Police and the problem is at the top. Most likely it is nothing more than a knowledge that serious civilian accountability and scrutiny simply don't exist. Our Police Board are a joke both via the old boys appointment network and secondly by the authority over the Police that they don't have but should have.
