Depart with Dignity-RCMP

Nothing new. Dog section had air conditioning in their vehicles prior all members. The dog had to stay comfortable while the members drove around with the windows down and lost their hearing. Sad but true.

I was just sent a link to a news story from the motherland...back on the rock and i really had to share it with you all.   Most, if not all, police officers who are medically discharged from the RCMP due to medical reasons cannot be shoved out the door of headquarters fast enough.  There is NO ceremony.  There is NO cake, finger foods, donuts or coffee to mark the officers contributions to the force.  There is NO plaque or gold watch. In fact, he/she will simply sign their retirement forms and drop their badge off to another officer then get escorted off RCMP property.  Not much of a celebration.

In Newfoundland, we have an old police dog that was rescued from a shelter years ago and the force is having a big celebration to mark his service and contributions of having seized millions in drugs.

When an organization puts more value to the contributions of an animal than it’s employees, there is something seriously fawked up.  I am still in total disbelief.
