With the new (Dec 2010) recruiting standard for the Reserve MPs being the same as the RegF one, I have been wondering who would join the MPs part time when then can go full time. The only answer I have been able to come up with would be to target local Municipal Police Officers, CBSA, DFO corrections and Sheriffs for recruiting.
Has anyone put any thoughts into any sort of recruiting strategy to target that audience? We have all the above category of badge officers in my platoon right now and I hope we can use these to mine local agencies.
Has anyone lobbied the branch for a shorter QL3 program for badge civilian badged members? One member from TPS I know was going to be issued credentials (NDI50) after a conversion course (2-3 weeks if memory serves) to be able to fill a slot on a TAV. My calculations show that the current 9 weeks long x2 Phases for the new QL3 would require a civpol member to take basically all of his "off blocks"for the year in a row (if even allowed by the agency) for 2 (consecutive?) years to be able to complete it.
What will the Regiment think of PRes MPs who parade 50%?
Our attrition lately has been horrendous at the platoon, replacing these numbers is going to be rather difficult.
