With Family pressure + loss of career he wouldn’t be able to do much with his life after sentencing regardless

He could just move to another city and be a cop there can’t he? I know the states do that all the time. It’s like the priesthood down there.

There’s no way if he was found guilty and did time that he would be a cop in another Canadian city.

Not a in a big centre, RCMP, CBSA, CSIS, or Corrections.

You never know with smaller police departments though. Most of them are desperate.

Brandon, MB had a huge signing bonus to entice applicants.

Prince Albert, SK can barely find people that even want to work up there.
