British Bobby Invasion
Apparently Alberta is going to put a hold on recruiting cops from the UK. There is an article in today's Globe and Mail and also on the CBC site.
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/national/080406/n040635A.html Thought this might be of interest to some. Regina cops are still driving around with a big placard "Now Hiring" on the back of the police cars so maybe if you were thinking of Alberta - try Regina instead! |

Have they been reading Britishexpats.com? :thumbsup:
"...you go on some of these British websites and they say you have to be super-human to join the Edmonton police service. Which is, of course, ridiculous. But it's a bit of an obstacle." |

Re: British Bobby Invasion
From a contact I have in the CPS. This press statement was put out due to the fact that the locals were crying "discrimination". There is no real evidence that the CPS is going to scale back on a program which they have invested heavily into, and works very well within the system. After all, one qualified officer is worth ten rookies!

Re: British Bobby Invasion
Yes, some people will complain about anything. They bitch because they are hiring experienced UK cops - so they don't hire them - and they bitch because there aren't enough cops!!

Re: British Bobby Invasion
To my knowledge, both the federal and provincial governments have pledged more police officers on our streets, and yet neither of them have even started to follow through! Had my shop broken into two weeks ago. The cop took a few notes of what was stolen (about $2000:00 in tools etc), and told ME to check with the pawn shops. I could have bitch-slapped him, useless prick! Can you tell I'am a tad pissed?
