- SpecialistK 3mo agoAny large city's PD is going to be controversial. From the experience of people close to me who work with police, the VPD are better run and have more programs like Car 33 than the RCMP in neighbouring jurisdictions. Many of the perceived issues come from (I'll say it) corrupt judges who let out career petty criminals on a bail-less "promise to appear." Some officers report arresting the same person twice in one shift. At least it's not TPS, where the chief likes to protect officers who commit perjury in the name of framing an innocent man for a Sergeant's suicide.
- rangestransform 3mo agoVPD has become notably more controversial after Jim Chu stepped down, before that it was notable how professional they were for a North American police department
- SpecialistK 3mo agoA lot of the first hand experiences I've heard were from around Chu's tenure, so I can't refute that.
