[edit] Cat suggestion
Since this page came up via Bobanny's were/was grammarfix in the opening, I might as well post here that it's occurred to me that Category:British Columbia Provincial Police, perhaps as a subcat of Category:Law enforcement in British Columbia (as subcat of [[Category:Law enforcement in Canada; it would also include F&W and DFo officers and notable Mounties in BC history...and those with "Sherriff" as a title - which as I underestand it is an officer of the court rather than of the policing body - is that right Ken?)); there are a number of people who were either made policemen or otherwise deputized who we already have articles for - starting with Chartres Brew of course but including other figures; before I'm gone I'll be writing one on Dan Hurley, a Lillooet pioneer who was also the local cop and the cat in question would apply to him. Francis Jones Barnard also applies.Skookum1 19:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I just started an annotated List of law enforcement agencies in British Columbia, which can be expanded to include the feds (besides the Mounties). I did add BC Sheriffs, and linked it to a quite extensive history website, from a book written by a retired Sheriff. Technically, Sheriffs are "law enforcement," but not police (though the original London police were essentially officers of the court. As for individuals, Category:Canadian police officers is still pretty underpopulated, so it's probably premature to start a category for local policeman officers. bobanny 21:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Then there's the police in classical Athens - Thracian slaves, armed to the teeth, well-taken care of, with no local/family loyalties except to the Assembly....Skookum1 04:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dissolution?
Anyone want to include reasons why it was dissolved, when the OPP and SQ continued? - TheMightyQuill 07:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
