He must have nodded off when the criminal instructor at Depot summarized by saying 'and, oh, by the way, you can't do any of this stuff'.

True, but not wide open like it used to be. Back in the day you could be tossed for just about any reason. At least now it has to be for cause and, if performance-related, has to be progressive and documented.

Rightly so.

It’s an honour to have you wearing our device!

Thank you very much. It was unexpected and quite a surprise to have the RCMP present us with it.

Emergency services are easy targets for $ lawsuits. 24/7/365.

Which is why, at least back when I hired on, the credo was, "Never, EVER, admit the department has done anything wrong."

They meant it too,

Unlike police, doctors, lawyers and others, complaints against ( Toronto ) emergency medical service staff are investigated internally and in secret. The service never announces the results or what is done to fix the problem.

Nothing new about emergency services in our town getting sued. But, this $ amount caught my eye,

The suit also alleges Peel paramedics failed to “provide the necessaries of life” for 20 minutes while Francique bled out.

“When the ambulance was finally called, Jamal was subjected to further negligence and injury,” the claim alleges. “He was further deprived of necessary, life-saving medical care when a decision was made to transport him to St. Michael’s Hospital, located 34 km and approximately 33 minutes away from the scene, while Credit Valley Hospital was only 2.3 km from the scene.”

I’ve been sued for an on the job situation. It was annoying, but my legal counsel was covered at public expense, so I didn’t need to worry much. I had the comfort of knowing that it was pretty BS from the start and that there was good evidence in my favour. At least for us we’re generally indemnified if our actions are in good faith in the course of our duties. That said, plenty of organizations will opt to settle and gag smaller stuff, even if dubious, as it’s deemed not worth the cost of fighting.

I agree - it has to be a tough job where perfection is expected every single day.

You work 9-1-1 X 40 hours per week for 35 years in the ashpalt jungle, they give you a pension.
Do the job. Live your life. Simple as that.

Perfection was not a requirement. Thankfully.

People at City Hall and HQ are paid to worry about the lawsuits, so you don't have to.

Unless you become a public disgrace, it's pretty hard to get kicked out. Transferred maybe....

Our dept. threw city taxpayer $ at people like beads at Mardi Gras.

Ex-Mountie charged with foreign interference offenses, allegedly 'used knowledge and extensive network'​

The RCMP says it has arrested and charged a retired RCMP officer with foreign interference-related offences.

William Majcher, 60, from Hong Kong, is accused of helping the Chinese government's efforts to "identify and intimidate an individual outside the scope of Canadian law."

"Mr. Majcher allegedly used his knowledge and his extensive network of contacts in Canada to obtain intelligence or services to benefit the People's Republic of China," said the RCMP in a statement.

Whoah. Can’t wait to see details come out on this one. At first glance it looks like stuff well after his service, but we’ll see in time.

Here we go again! I doubt this will bode well for the force. Their credibility was already hanging by a thread.

Simple solution to this - honour NO ONE - nobody at all. OR conversely tell them in a not so subtle way to "F*ck off"

Ottawa Police (several months ago, but not previously mentioned on this thread). Once again, it appears that there's some sort of Police Discount with the Crown for misconduct; a non-police officer would never have been permitted to plead out and get such minimal sanction after fifteen charges and eleven breaches of orders.

Staff Sgt. William Hinterberger was first charged by his own police force in October 2019.

The 15 charges against him included sexual assault, assault, aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, confinement, breach of trust by sharing a confidential Ottawa police intelligence report, several charges of possessing firearms without a licence, distributing an intimate image without consent, and damage to property under $5,000, all for incidents alleged to have occurred from September 2015 to September 2019.

The victim's identity is protected by a publication ban.

Hinterberger was then arrested twice for allegedly breaching orders a total of 11 times, first in November 2019 and again in January 2020.

...

Justice John Johnston, who normally presides elsewhere in Ontario, handed down a nine-month conditional sentence that includes six months of house arrest and three months of curfew between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., with some exceptions.

After Hinterberger's house arrest and curfew, he will spend two years on a peace bond starting in December.

Hinterberger — who was represented by defence lawyers Richard Addelman and Samantha Robinson — was also ordered to pay a $1,200 victim surcharge within six months: $200 for each of the six counts he was convicted of. He is banned from possessing firearms for 10 years and was also ordered to submit a DNA sample.

Everybody is getting discounts these days.

I would argue for a first time offender that sentence is both standard and reasonable whether a soon to be former police officer or not.

He was arrested twice for breaching 11 conditions. That’s entirely normal that all of those would be thrown away in the midst of all the bargaining that happens, you could watch twice or three times that translate to a $500 fine for someone with a multi page Criminal Record.

You are incredibly unaware of the system.
