Would they be on a par with PCSO's over here? Do they have power of arrest etc... I've had a brief search on google, and see that University of Toronto use Specials as Campus Police, and that the Toronto subway system employ specials.

I was just wondering if there was anything like this over here? Especially as you need about $1million to get a place in Vancouver these days LOL

To the OP...if you manage to get into one force, it might be easy to transfer to another. Guys have gone from the military to the rcmp and police. Also don't forget that the military has a police also.

On an unrelated matter, maybe one of the cops can answer a question that has been bugging me for years?
A few years we came up here on a house hunting trip, prior to posting. In the hotel where we were staying, I bumped (literally) into Gilles Duceppe. He was in the company of five rather burly men. RCMP minders, I was later told by the missus. I was struck by the fact that they were all completely bald. That is too much of a coincidence to be natural. Why would they have all shaved their heads? Any ideas?

Most services, with the exception of a few forces, pay more or less the same. Around 80 k for a level 1 Cst, plus service pay, senior cst pay and shift dif and plain clothes pay, which can add close to another 8 k a year. Each bump in rank is around 8 - 10 k a year. Overtime is largely double time and triple on stat holidays.
