Arrest, part of a normal day for the thin blue line, this recent arrest in downtown Merritt shows an officer taking into custody a suspect, he can on reasonable suspicion detain a person for 24 hours. That person can have a lawyer present for questioning, and ask for a writ to produce him in court with charges against him . Special laws after 911 undermined that civil right with out suspending all civil rights for citizens.

Vietnam: US President Johnson and “The Wise Men” conclude that the American people should be given more optimistic reports on the progress of the war.
Local jurisdictions , this patrol car bearing Delta Police Markings is from a community in the lower mainland.It was recently seen going through our south central interior city on who knows what duty. We have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police here. About 20 officers contracted to the City from that Federal Police Force. British Columbia contracts the most with the Federal Government Force There is no Provincial police only city ones and that results in 38 percent, there about, of the RCMP’s contracted members being in BC. Of the 20 odd members that are here some of them have federal duties including First Nations Policing . A flow chart issued by them shows four lines of responsibility each under a corporal, an operations Sargent ,and one Staff Sargent as NCO in charge.
Looks like the Osprey population has a new addition .
