I have listened to the Surrey Ecomm scanner a fair bit, and they regularly attend medical calls. I'm pretty sure there's a mixture in terms of uniforms, usually probably just the uniform but I dont think turnout pants are uncommon for a medical call.

These will be different from the BCAS medics pictured right? ie ambos will be exclusively BCAS paramedics, rescues will be ff medics. (I guess im trying to say it won't be like LA...)

Personnel are looking awesome! I like how you included the old BCAS uniforms, I think they look better and easier to distinguish from police/fire. Best scanning site around here- http://scanbc.com you can listen from itunes. Also if you haven't already reskinned the FBI, it would be cool to make them like Gang Task Force or somethin

@slayer yea but the mod is based in surrey/metro vancouver lol you should make a 'george W makes comes to surrey' mission where you have to deal with protesters

Ohh this is the exciting part Used to live in Surrey, can't believe we're gona have a mod about it It sounds like you guys are trying to make a variety of calls which is great. I hate having calls that you know exactly how to handle and it just becomes routine. -I think it would be cool to have like a domestic disturbance call where you could arrive to find a variety of situations at a residence ie injured person, person with a gun, fight, drugs etc. -I dont know if its possible, but it would be fun to have more traffic calls like people speeding or something, or just make the process of traffic stops more realistic (something like the LCPD First responders mod for GTA4, if you know what that is). -Maybe include knives as a less lethal weapon? they seem to be popular in surrey lol. -I'm sure you've probably considered this but I'd love to have the RCMP supervisor have additional, police specific commands (call K9, ERT, etc) -I wonder if its possible to have a 'search' command, like a pat down to look for contraband?? -Ability for police to call for backup, etc when in vehicle Also have you guys considered doing a sort of generic 'canadian' map as opposed to specifically Surrey, just wondering since you have all those other police units... Killerxcop has a good point, 'multifaceted' and random events are the best, hopefully we can make it happen!

Ok nice, both of those ideas sound cool. As for the video- I think you have achieved lighting perfection! They really look amazingly lifelike. *bows before lighting god*

Absolutely- its just Harpo and Co. playing hardball for some reason. They basically said the only option is sign a 20 yr contract or we're packing up. They didn't give any wiggle room for negotiating how resources are spent and other urgent issues facing the force. I think the RCMP should stay, but there needs to be some substantial changes. Small towns are their bread and butter, and they do a great job at that. Its bigger cities like Surrey that should really look at a municipal force. But as you said, thats politics for ya! I think we'll all be watching this one, it will probably get really interesting pretty soon. Question about the mod: Not that they're necessary, but are you thinking of any scripting changes/alterations/additions? I think there was a flashlight in the last video, are you hoping for that to be in game or was it just editor eye candy? PFD- I think gang violence has gone down quite a bit since a few years ago. I think the few things that have happened in the last few months are all courtesy of Jon Bacon's assassination. Just retaliatory back and forth stuff that is nearly impossible for the police to prevent. Also, crime is down as a whole but you raise an interesting point about the transition period. I think if they do switch over, they will make the transition as smooth as possible but I'm sure there will be some lapse and the criminals will take advantage of it.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. They want to release it by the new year. As for the rest, a provincial force would be hugely costly, and probably less effective at least for the first few years. Yet the RCMP are going through some seriously tough times, and their trust and morale are in rough shape. It will be interesting to see what happens, and if the feds will give us some wiggle room in their offer.

Nice video... Thought this was kind of cool- the very same units in action at a drug raid yesterday in Surrey. No bears or sheep were reported to be involved in this one. http://www.vancouversun.com/Booby+traps+explosives+found+suspected+south+Surrey+drug+house/5520518/story.html Great work guys, seems like you've been getting a lot done recently. And ya that police tape did work in the NY submod, fairly well actually

Which units are those, all those umpc's from a while back? Sorry this is random and I know you said no more suggestions but I think the police tape from the NY submod would be cool in this mod. Just throwing it out there. Also, send me a pm when you start the map if you're looking for help. I'd be starting out like you with minimal experience but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Looks really good! I can't believe how fast you are skinning these lol. Would that be Vancouver transit authority or the scbcta?

Guys he's already gone over this- There haven't been any details on the content of the map because it hasn't been started. Patience!

Would love to see some personnel pics!

Awesome!! Also very realistic as you often see multiple departments responding in the lower mainland. Can't wait to see the rest!! Btw I just started playing your LA police unit upgrade and its great! Your guys' work looks amazing in game, makes me even more excited for this

We don't have counties in Canada, at least not in BC. They are both Surrey Fire Service, but the yellows are just older engines that are being replaced by the red ones.

Good work as always guys. Nice to see you set a release date, I dont really think the map is essential however it would be really cool but it sounds like you'll leave it until everything else has been completed. Anyway your guys work shows- the topic has been busy lately. Hopefully this west coast weather gives you more time to work on the mod

The ALS models are based off the e-450 ambulance- the picture on the right. The BLS will be based off the other two types pictured.

Demers Ambulances is manufacturing the latest batch for BCAS http://ww2.demers-ambulances.com/site/index.php?sectionId=42#output

Nice traffic unit- I for one will be all over that when we get close to release Im a little confused with the BCAS units...The only fords they use are the e-350s, the smaller ones with curved boxes. Are you just using the e-450s to differentiate easily between ALS and BLS? Also did you say you were working on a chevy demers model? That would be awesome and in terms of realism I believe BCAS is transitioning all their ambos to the chevys. A nitty gritty detail for ya- BCAS changed their uniforms from white shirts to dark blue. I personally dont like them as much but hey whatever works.

Ya the ERT one is great but I really loved the other episodes too and actually learned a ton. If you liked that one you should check out the rest for sure. I don't think many people realize what a world class police force we have...makes me even more excited for this mod (if thats possible ) Anyway I think you're right and this thing will really surprise us all- we know you guys do top quality work Also it would be cool to see some pics of the personnel if they are done. I know you did post some a while back but I think they got removed...

Air 1 looks good. Also nice fan banner- embodies the essence of the RCMP in BC nicely. As a side note, I found a cool series on the RCMP on Youtube called Courage In Red. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to find out more about the RCMP, it made me proud to have such a great police force . It even features the Surrey Detachment in the Frontline policing episode. Maybe you've seen it already Goog, but if not it might provide some inspiration (not that you need it, keep up the good work!!)

That place has a mayor

Surely you can stop spamming and post something about your country? Or is Spain really as bad as everyone says?

^^ Only in Canada lol (btw did you know Canadian beer is stronger than American... )

Thanks...I've been to the Netherlands including Amsterdam so I know a bit about it. I also know it was mostly Amsterdam they liberated, but there were other parts like you said. Adding to Newfoundking- Did you know Canada's head of state and commander in chief is the Governor General, not Prime Minister?
