Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I'm not sure as I haven't gone through the process yet, but I don't think you can. You are expected to go wherever they put you, be it a large urban centre or a small northern town of 50 guys. They consider allowing families to stay put if they have strong roots or children, but that's not up to you and you can still be relocated far away if the ...

I think Cadets get the training in Orillia, and maybe even a shortened course at OPC. They don't get full training. A Cadet application for constable gets fast-tracked through the system as the background checks and psych evaluations don't need to be done again. Letters of reference can come from people you worked with as a Cadet. I don't think ...

All digital scanners capable of receiving non-broadcast digital signals must be licensed with Industry Canada. As part of the Radiocommunications Act, you cannot make use of or divulge intercepted communications unless you have permission from either the recipient or originator, or the recipient was not in Canada at the time of transmission ...

I've heard the same about Police Foundations. There are a few good, useful courses, and the rest are filler. All the information will be taught at OPC. As almost anyone can get into these college courses, recruiters don't give you much credit for taking a "law enforcement" course over someone with any other degree. What seems to be most important ...

And also make it illegal to drive without shoes.

Hey, why? When I teach new drivers, I start them out shoeless. You get better control over the pedals and all you have to do is make sure the shoes are out of the way and to move the seat forward one notch. I have adapted to driving with steel-toed boots, but some people either don't wear thick ...

Do we have a "too fast for conditions" charge? Just careless driving?

How about on a military base? That would qualify as "federal land," right? Do regular police officers have authority on a military base, and do military police have authority across Ontario (or Canada)?

I wasn't training specifically for PREP, it was more like 'how much running do I expect to do to chase someone down?' Running has always been my weakest point and might be the biggest obstacle to me getting hired.

Although I suppose I should train for PREP and worry about chasing people after I get in. Do you remember how many pushups are required ...

I missed the part about the weekly progressions. That makes more sense and makes it tougher. I do have about 150 m of flat grass-30 degree hill-flat grass if I run parallel to my house, but the ground is too wet right now and I would just tear it up.

I keep the treadmill at full incline, run until I'm too tired to keep it up, then slow down to a ...

Cops are cops, they have authority across Ontario.

hahahahaha

They have tasers, that's not fair.

I see lots of "monsters" at the gym......and super strong, but only 2% only do real cardio. So things would be bad if they got hold of you in the first 30 seconds, but after a minute the cardio would prevail......just have to look at UFC for all that, guys gas out with poor cardio, then get really "rocked".

Hahaha, that used to be me. Back in ...

As I understand it, Ontario cops don't have any real jurisdiction. A TPS officer can go issue tickets in Ottawa if he wanted to. The ticket would be valid, but he might have to explain to the bosses how he ended up in Ottawa.

Haha, well I only come up with a new sandwich every three months or so. My daily diet is much more regular with occasional spikes of insanity. Once in a while I get the urge to stuff myself with six pounds of honey garlic chicken wings, or try to once again tackle a 3-lb burger. I'm a slow eater, so I've never been able to finish that burger within ...

Wow, 50s. My resting heart rate is somewhere in the high 70s, but shoots up to 120 or so after just 500 m. I can just barely get out 1 km before running out of breath - not very good at all. The OPP website has some material that says I should aim for 2.7 km in 11 minutes to pass the PREP shuttle run. I say just hand out those long-range rifle ...
