Auxiliary applicants get almost the whole complete testing as regular during the "hiring phase". The interview is done locallly and not by a "recruiter". There also has to be a "local" auxiliary position open to apply. It is well worth the investment/time if you are successful. Auxiliaries then go for one week training in Orillia prior to being ...

I have never heard of any volunteer type of positions you mention.

You might want to consider calling your local "crime stoppers" as they often look for volunteers.

You can also apply to your local "Victim Services" and help people through various traumatic times.

Another avenue is applying to the OPP Auxiliary program. Once an auxiliary you ...

Re: Lidar - Multiple User Testing

it would be impracticable to do the test right there and then. Well guess it could be done, but we have 2 known fixed distances at our office that we use for testing, we measured out and put in the posts to an exact measurement. Would find that part nearly impossible at roadside, unless you measure out to a post with a measuring tape.

No going to side track the other thread.

Were there multiple officers using the same lidar device or just one? This makes a difference (care and control of the device). If several officers were using the same device, did they each test it before and after each person was stopped? Did anything happen to the device during the time it was used by ...

Re: bumping the back of a cop's wife's car = careless driving

$325 is the correct total payable for careless driving. Your ticket looks like it has a "fatal flaw." There may be an exception due to the fact that I believe your ticket was a "part III summons," but I think that the dollar amount, even though it was only a $5 error, should be sufficient to get the charge quashed "on a technicality." While it is ...

Re: Neck-breaking speeds while running from the cops!!!

Whether the vehicle is 25 over or 25 under....if the vehicle is not stopping it a "flight from police" (CC) and "fail to stop for police" (HTA).

There is dangerous driving charges according to the news article, so there is more to this than speed alone.....and as I mentioned could have started on a different road, just happened to end on the 427.

I've always said that marked cruisers do a heck of a lot more to improve highway safety than ninja tactics.

A vast majority of drivers never have anything to worry anyway, so marked or unmarked would not make a difference. The jackasses that everyone complains about rarely do their ritual bad habits when a marked car is around.
