Military Police In Canada
Regarding military police, Canada has one of the most highly trained individuals for this job in the world. The Canadian Forces Military Police (CFMP) contribute to not only the effectiveness and readiness of the Canadian Forces (CF) but also to the Department of National Defence (DND) through the provision of professional police, security and operational support services worldwide.[3]
CFMP are classified as Peace Officers in the Criminal Code,[4] which gives them powers similar to civilian law enforcement personnel to enforce some Acts of Parliament on or in relation to DND property or assets anywhere in the world. They have the power to arrest anyone who is subject to the Code of Service Discipline (CSD), regardless of position or rank under

    Operation Fortitude

    Border Force primarily operates in airports, seaports and detention centres, overseeing border protection operations such as Operation Sovereign Borders. The controversy over the cancelled Operation Fortitude, even though Abbott reassured the public that Border Force would never stop people randomly on the street, illustrates the fear in the general public over the power Border Force possesses. In Operation Fortitude, officers were supposedly going to stop individuals on the street and ask for identification, with the planned operation appearing to show that Border Force officers have the ability to randomly check identification without reasonable suspicion. The department also appears to be militarised to an extent, with officers possessing military style uniforms and firearms. Officers have the power to conduct surveillance and detain individuals. The fact that the Border Force act also allows whistleblowers in detention centres to be prosecuted, causes Border Force to appear to be an extremely powerful department, with any potential offences committed by them going unreported due to the non disclosure…

    Over the course of its history, Canada has progressed immensely regarding its autonomy. Starting out as just a colony of Great Britain, Canada was in the control of the overarching British Empire. However, Canada now has emerged as a sovereign state, in control of its own future. A major contributing factor to Canada ultimately reaching autonomy has been its participation in war and peacekeeping efforts. Contributions made in war efforts such as WWI and WWII have allowed Canada to demonstrate just how influential and powerful the country can be. Even though Canada entered WWI under the order of Great Britain, Canada’s showing at the battle of Vimy Ridge helped it emerge as a more independent country, gaining its own seat in the League of Nations. After participation in World War Two, Canada once again progressed in independence and earned the right to be a founding member in both NATO and the UN. Along with wars, Canada has made many contributions to peacekeeping. Canadian Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson, is considered a founder of modern peacekeeping after his efforts in the Suez Canal Crisis during the Cold War Era.…

    Each individual, family, business, or country all had defining moments that have shaped them into their current appearances and outcomes. During the development of a country, its people are fortified by many important events. These events are the "Defining Moments" which developed a country to what it is today. For Canada, their defining moments relate to military and war. Canada has given major military contributions in the Day of Deliverance, the battle of Vimy Ridge, and the Italian Campaign and in return has achieved respect, pride, and independence which are intangibles any nation aspires for. These events are what made Canada today, a strong, independent country with a lot of heart.…

    Canada became a large contender in history’s two largest wars- World War I and World War 2. Canada, a colony of Britain at the time, was determined to help by any means necessary during WWI. Thereafter, the nation became less enthusiastic about participation in future wars, especially with the inevitable WWII. Canadians were still determined to fight in the war despite the Great Depression and lingering memories of World War I. As time progressed, Canada got more tranquil and kind hearted while leaning towards the principles of pacifism and peacemaking. If Canada had to conscript its people into war in this modern age, the old method would simply be ineffective. Hence, Canada should modify its conscription policy in order to best fit this generation.…

    RCMP Force In Canada

    On the 8th of March 2013 I was assigned to write a reflection on a topic of my choice chosen from a timeline of Canadian highlights that was passed out at the beginning of the year. I chose the topic of the event when women were allowed to join the RCMP forces. This topic struck my eye because its year is surprising to me because of the women’s rights act year. The RCMP commenced in 1873 originally to regulate the trading’s of alcohol for buffalo hides, then to protect the aboriginal people from the white’s. The RCMP branch continued to grow from there, with the exception of one year when Canada was under new governing and the RCMP force was cut down in numbers. Now for years we have…

    The Canadian military as peacekeepers is a very prominent notion of the majority of Canadians. It is what distinguishes Canada most strongly from the United States, and what has become an important aspect of their foreign policy. Peacekeeping, since the conclusion of the Cold War, however, is a myth. This essay will explore the history of peacekeeping, its use as a tool during the Cold War, and Canada's very prominent role in its development and use. Peacekeeping, in the traditional sense of the word, ended in the 1980s.…

    SWAT teams are increasingly being deployed across the country -- and it 's happening with almost no supervision. For nearly half a century, America’s police forces have undergone a process of “militarization.” They’ve upped their cache of assault weapons and military defense gear, increasingly deployed SWAT teams to conduct ops-style missions on civilians, and inculcated a warrior attitude within their rank. While major metropolitan areas have maintained SWAT teams for decades, by the mid 2000’s, 80 percent of small towns also had their own paramilitary forces. But beyond deep reporting of individual journalists and scholars, little is known about the extent of militarization across…

    The Militia Myth

    With this address by Rev. Strachan, the “militia myth” was born. Throughout history, Canadians have held the belief that they could effectively defend themselves through the use of citizen-soldiers if the need ever arose. The country believed that robust Canadians could respond to a call-to-arms with little or no training, performing the job as well as professionally trained soldiers. In the years that followed, Canadians have entered many conflicts with citizen-soldiers, achieving success in battles despite the continued employment of untrained militia.…
