this was from that article... Rob Gordon, a criminologist at Simon Fraser University and former police officer, believes Alberta set up its Sheriff Highway Patrol to ease the transition to a provincial police service, but then decided to stick with the RCMP. "I think what they've ended up with is, quite frankly, a bit of a mess, because they've obviously changed their mind, but they've made some kind of commitment to the sheriff service in Alberta," he said. "So they're stuck with this bizarre hybrid model." Gordon said he knows the B.C. sheriffs' service has been pushing for expanded duties for some time. But he was surprised to learn the government is taking a hard look at it. "I didn't know they were actually seriously considering it here," he said. The BC Attorney General was quoted as saying that it is the BC Sheriffs union that is pushing this to get higher wages for members.He also said they are not trained as well as police officers and if they want to be cops they should become policemen and go to police academy.

Dodge Magnum wagon here's a few pictures of the Burnaby slicktop

here's a few shots of BC Sheriff units showing the all red lights...

The Burnaby unit has been switched to the supervisor slicktop,most of the Burnaby units are using the legend lightbar so it will be the same as the Surrey unit.

That's why the BC government is considering it as traffic stops generally lead to more serious crimes(ie:drugs,weapons and such).So now they are no longer just "traffic"only. The RCMP just signed a new contract with the municipalities of BC,so the Sheriffs role expanding may not happen.Could have been a ploy by the BC government to start their own provincial police force in the contract talks.

everything I have seen points to only court duties as laid out in the BC Sheriffs Act law http://www.bclaws.ca...ide/00_96425_01 EDIT according to rule 6.1(1)(b) states they are responsible for:the roads, streets or lanes immediately adjacent to a court facility or to the grounds or other areas referred to in paragraph -hence I could see a speed trap outside the court building They are however considering it and as this 2010 article states,it could have been implemented since,but as far as I saw it was only a trial in Kelowna or Kamloops first. http://www.canada.co...ef-2df826cdcbaa EDIT-it wasn't an integrated road safety vehicle you saw?they do speed traps and dui hunts

I'll let CFD answer that one,but they vary on unit size as the fire units take longer than the police.It also depends on how many lights we put on the units.

nope,those are just editor maps for showing off the units.Looks better than that green and white stripped floor.

The sirens are all accurate to the real life units(fire,ambulance and police),all have been taken off manufacturers websites and are top quality.We will leave nothing mediocre,everything will be done to perfection. I went back and found it,have a listen.(these are not final,we have added background noise so they can't be copied,the game versions are perfect)

The umpc's and the Tomar lighting was joint effort between CFD and myself,since his pc has problems he tells me all the patterns and has all the say as the lights are his specialty.I'm learning and getting better but he's the master.

I've seen one in person and on all the videos they have only all red/white/yellow,I think it's the fact that their not allowed traffic stops in BC so no red/blue combo.However I think Kelowna or Kamloops is doing a provincial trial using them for traffic duties so they will change province wide if successfull.The afformentioned units in that trial city may have red/blue to stop traffic,not sure on that though.

Here's a new video of the B.C. Sheriff cruiser with the new all red Tomar strobe lightbar,there is also footage of the new B.C. Sheriff's paddy wagon which I will give a better look once I get the bells and whistles on it.

I see the children are testy tonight,keep to the topic or you'll be reported and you 2 guys do us all a favour and don't post on this topic again.You guys bring absolutely nothing to the discussion.

^^^^^ thanks,I wasn't aware you're a wannabe moderator now. Anyways,if you have nothing relavent to the topic,don't post here! Having a script where a guy is singing in the back of the car is as good as a car running out of gas,use your heads before you post.

if it is possible that would be a great idea to implement in the game,we'll see when we reach that point...

here's a video of the new VPD general duty skin with the new Tomar strobe lightbar... WATCH IN 720P

Haven't got that far yet but like in real life stuff happens when you least expect it .When we get to that stage of the project we can discuss it better how it will work,but one event would be boring and too easy so we'll see.

Thanks Tom, It started out a submod with just re-skinning but has become a mod(too lazy to move it),all the units are new and have been replaced.A map,missions and scripts will all be done as well. It will be in english only and should be compatible with em4 deluxe.

maybe you should search their topic and read it then you'll know...

let's ask the fortune teller....

Nobody is tormenting you,sorry if you feel that way.I guess that what happens when you make so many pointless topics and spam legitimate topics with your posts,then people feel the need to do it to you.

IBTL...

wow started march 08 and almost done already???Your imagination works fast...
