In a modern-era-Western-world first? - currently 17 (all?) police-officers of the Abbotsford Police Department - known to be tough on crime prior - are being seriously investigated, concerning 148 allegations of corruption, deceit and neglect of duty. One of them has adds-on. All allegations involve drugs.
Chief Constable Bob Rich - seemingly not among them - says he maybe could have provided better training for the officers.
I'll say! He and Darryl Plecas!
Plecas as Prof. of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) and Lib. MLA for Abbotsford-South: strongly get-those-dopers! and overall guiding light in law-enforcement at the coast. In his next-door cop-shop too - one would think.
The irony!
Some of his virulently anti-dope papers written at UFV - financed indirectly by the RCMP as RCMP Chair in Crime Reduction - have caused academic eyebrows to be raised elsewhere: what with that connection and his unorthodox research-methods.
No matter and irregardless!
His most recent How-To-Be-A-Real-Cop - published last fall as The Seven Essential Principles of Police-Based Crime Reduction - is also the guiding light in the NPD's Provisional Budget, 2015. In need of essential principles.
You don't actually have to read the book - these 7 essentials can be found on the Net. Lined-up kind of like the 7 commandments - without the burning shrubbery!
