zunk: yes, but in cities that have their own police forces (like Victoria and Oak Bay), the RCMP don't do local law enforcement ...

Unless serious shit goes down, like Pickton or the oak bay massacre a few years ago.

So disbanding MPD would be akin to disbanding Oak Bay Police and temporarily using RCMP services until the local replacement structure is back up and running.

Responses:

And the "local replacement structure " would be what? New cops? -- nm - zunkskunk Jun 7, 16:25 3
- Making it so that the people who hand out traffic tickets aren't the same people who respond to mass shootings, for a start. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 16:39 2
  - ... and you don't need shock troops to investigate car crashes, either -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 16:46 1
    - A lot of things need to be decriminalized and dealt with by some entity other than the police. - TWuG Jun 7, 16:49
