He said Saint John was a much slower paced town than Winnipeg and had much fewer violent crimes and guns used in crimes. He and his girlfriend liked it much better and had both been able to quickly find jobs soon after they had moved.
There were all kinds of similar police issues but the best innovation, old school no doubt, was the heavy duty suspenders used to hold his heavily laden duty-belt. His gear included a handgun, handcuffs. expandable baton, pepper-spray, stun-gun, radio, and flashlight. It looked like 30 pounds of gear on his hip. I have no idea how he could sit in a patrol vehicle.
There are not a lot of differences between Canadian and U.S. police but, it was good to talk about.

Think it's pretty cool to check police stations and trains around the world.I can't participate in cruise boards and have a question that you mightbe able to answer. What is Bob Brown's mission? To see all the trains, planes, ferries, tugs? I hope they have a fabulous life and many more cruises. Thanks for letti g tag along via the boards and blogs. Travel safe.
ReplyDeleteBob was a bus driver and a railroader at different times of his life. He tries to see differnet types of buses around the world as well as different trains and stations. We've made trips together to visit stations at ports around the world. He also gets great shots of the multitude of different Pilot Boats that have guided Insignia. He jokingly says, Mission Acomplished when he gets his photos in. You can see them o Cruise Critic. Bob's a great guy. He and Betsy are a good match.
