Northern service was the halcyon days of my police career. Whitehorse was a hard drink- ing town and while we experienced more seri- ous crime than you might think for a town of 6,000, we were preoccupied with drunkenness and its effects in the community. It was normal to work the late shift alone with no back up. I still have a vivid recollection of entering a bar to confront a violent drunk much bigger than I swinging a broken chair while the patrons cow- ered in the corner. Although there were firearms in almost every house and vehicle in the territory there was an unwritten rule that the police didn’t carry sidearms and the population didn’t take up arms against us. The north gave me my edu- cation as a police officer. Later, when I had the opportunity to visit detachments on the “other side”, I met more RCMP officers and their wives stationed at isolated one-officer detachments or in two’s or three’s. They made me very proud to be a member of the RCMP. By the time I became involved with mu- nicipal policing the situation on the streets of big city Canada was much different. Police were encountering more guns, drugs and violence than we had ever faced before. Of necessity we got smarter on officer safety, improved our defen- sive weaponry and adopted concealable body armour. I accommodated to patrol systems that offered rapid response of back up units, and encouraged officers to practice defensive tac- tics and restraint in approaching potentially dangerous situations. I like to think that as a result of the changes we adopted, lives were saved. As urban society became more sophisti- cated, the gulf in working conditions between city policing and policing in the remote areas of Canada grew wider. I at one time listened to ur- ban police officers complain about a delay in back up, and contrast that with the lot of the rural detachment officer patrolling alone, polic- ing settlements where substance abuse was a way of life and violence never far from any encounter. Different expectations; different people. I doubt if many of the RCMP, QPF or OPP officers serving in the isolated posts would care to change places with their urban counterparts.

    The Construction of the Gang in British Columbia: Mafioso, Gangster, or Thug? An Examination of the Uniqueness of the BC Gangster Phenomenon By Keiron McConnell M.Sc. Public Order Policing, Leicester University, 2004 B.G.S., Open University of BC, 2002 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Policing, Security and Community Safety John Grieve Centre Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities © Keiron McConnell 2015 London Metropolitan University September 2015 Abstract This thesis explores the structure, demographics, and history of gangs in British Columbia (BC), Canada, through a social constructionist lens. The purpose of this research is for the reader to consider the current state of gangs in BC as inherently different from other places in the world, to assist in understanding why there may be misconceptions, and to promote the research and implementation of more appropriate context-specific interventions. Building on previous work conducted as a Vancouver Police officer of over 27 years, I participated in field observations with gang units in Toronto and Hobbema, Canada; Chicago and Los Angeles, USA; and London, England. I also examined gang typologies and definitions in academic literature as a segment of the historical context of gang research and highlight how these bodies of literature contribute to the social construction of gangs. A historical review of media-reported gang violence in BC from 1903 to 2012 demonstrates that gang violence is not a new phenomenon, and its history is an essential element in the constructed concept of the gang. As well, I conducted semi-structured interviews with participants who either police gangs, work with gangs, or were former gang members to get their perspectives on the issue.

  • Factors Related to Musculoskeletal Disorders in Swedish Police
    Doctoral Thesis Factors related to musculoskeletal disorders in Swedish police Louise Bæk Larsen Jönköping University School of Health and Welfare Dissertation Series No. 088 • 2018 Doctoral Thesis in Health and Care Sciences Factors related to musculoskeletal disorders in Swedish police Dissertation Series No. 088 © 2018 Louise Bæk Larsen Published by School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University P.O. Box 1026 SE-551 11 Jönköping Tel. +46 36 10 10 00 www.ju.se Printed by BrandFactory AB 2018 All photography by Roy Tranberg ISSN 1654-3602 ISBN 978-91-85835-87-4 Abstract Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are a major problem in the adult working population and are the most frequently reported cause of work- related disease in many countries. Police working in active duty are subject to occupation-specific exposures in the workplace which could place them at an increased risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders. These exposures include the requirement to wear a duty belt and body armour as well as sitting for long periods in fleet vehicles. It is well recognised that the development of musculoskeletal disorders is multifactorial and that both physical and psychosocial workplace factors must be considered when addressing this issue. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to increase knowledge relating to musculoskeletal disorders in Swedish police by exploring the prevalence of pain and its relationship to physical and psychosocial factors in the work environment. Methods: Studies included in this thesis were conducted using different quantitative methods. Studies I and II were based on data from a self- administered online survey, distributed to all police officers working in active duty.

  • Abstract White, Melissa Mae
    ABSTRACT WHITE, MELISSA MAE. Biomechanical Implications of Duty Belt Use by Police Officers. (Under the direction of David B. Kaber and Xu Xu). In the course of law enforcement duties, police officers carry various pieces of equipment on their person to maintain public and personal safety. Duty belts provide a mechanism for carrying such equipment; however, a full duty belt loaded with all recommended equipment can weigh up to 20 to 30 lbs. Related to this, each law enforcement department can select the type of duty belt to be used by officers and identify requirements for equipment layout on the belt (e.g., having the gun near the dominant hand). This lack of standardization can lead to an unbalanced belt, equipment being inconvenient to access, and compromises in officer performance and safety. A loaded duty belt can also lead to officer muscle fatigue and overexertion injuries, and reduced officer performance resulting in injuries from violence. The combination of the distribution of items on the belt and decreased officer mobility can also lead to slips and falls. Some studies have found that officers perceive duty belts and the seats of patrol cars as primary contributors to low-back pain. Officer discomfort from duty belts is driven by the weight/amount of equipment on the belt, the placement of the equipment, and the force exerted on the body from the equipment. Few investigations have examined biomechanical implications of duty belt design, and no research has studied biomechanical implications of officer equipment placement on duty belts. This research was divided into two major phases.

Every year for her “kid” birthday party, she asks for donations for a charity instead of birthday gifts. She has do- nated food and supplies to her local humane society and a local wildlife rescue organiza- tion. Last year she chose DFD for her charity! Her family was thrilled when she asked for dog toys and treats on her party in- vitations. After the party, they boxed up the goodies and mailed them to us for the dogs in training. We excitedly opened the box of toys and treats, and the dogs were thrilled with them! It is especially heartwarming to see someone this young who is so generous and anxious to help. Katie is obviously a dog lover, and we are very grateful for her special help. Her dona- tions help the dogs succeed in training and go on to fulfill their mission in life. Thank you McLoughlin Bulldogs! Thank you to the McLoughlin Bulldogs, Team 81, from McLoughlin Middle School in Medford, Oregon. They sent us a box of toys and treats for our dogs, along with a holiday card that included some of the following special notes from the kids: “Thank you for what you do.
