    You can hire as many cops as you want but if our justice system is going to be a catch and release program it’s not going to make a shred of difference

    We don't need more officers in Vancouver. We need more enforcement. You can have all the officers in the world but if they aren't allowed to enforce the law what are we really doing? Just intimidating through presence?

      Their specifically looking for experienced officers from other forces. You didn't listen to it they're trying to fight the rate of retiring officers. They're not hiring complete rookies and giving them $10,000.

    I agree there has to be a better way! Make the bonus come into effect after several years of service then off another bonus like half the amount of the recruit one to be given to existing officers after they have met a standard they can decide on. This is a fkn dumb idea as it stands!

    Does it mention that the demand is coming from the major, to have more police in Vancouver? Is that what Vancouver residents want, to pay more taxes so the major can keep sitting in his chair?

    Here is a novel idea! Put 5% of every police budget in every community to create a Social Service Personnel (SSP) unit. This small group of citizens is NOT related to any previous or existing police members. Their job is to collect data/ reports from the citizenry/ businesses in their communities on the daily conduct ( positive/negative) and then share in a public form each month. The mayor and citizens are now aware of what members are doing and how they do what they do. This NOVEL, idea, will alter the course of every members perception of what it means to serve and protect and slowly retrain the egregious, incompetent training members received before becoming members....lol...Not a laughing matter, but none the less true. To all members that critically think and understand the spirit of to, " SERVE @PROTECT" and recognize their safety paramount and understand how to minimize threats without eliminating perceives threats, stay safe, much ❤
