When you're a senior member, he said it's pretty common to be making $150k. Then there is so much over time because they're so short.
I didn't realize VPD paid that much. I was pretty shocked. He also said they are short civilians as well. They call those office workers.
Not sure I could be a police officer, but if you can you can make a good buck and lots of overtime. | I have quite a few friends, my BIL included, in law enforcement. Those salaries aren't uncommon and also a tidbit, lenders have lesser restrictions when qualifying them on mortgage cause it's also a secure government job.

I find the police hiring shortage to be a bit strange. On one hand, there is a regular stream of people at my wife's workplace who are trying to apply to the VPD (as police officers), so I have always been under the impression that there are no shortages of applicants. On the other hand, the VPD either seems to say they have no budget to hire new officers (prior to Sim becoming mayor). And now they are saying they can't hire enough.
Does it just mean all these applicants to the VPD are unable to meet the VPD requirements?

For example: you inherit a home with a market value of $300,000. You sell the home four years later for $350,000. The home increased in value by $50,000 while you owned it, so you’re liable for capital gains taxes on $25,000.

For example, that's what happened with my old apartment. For the sake of argument, let's say I bought it back in 2004 for $300k, and used it as my rental property until 2014. Let's assume that in 2014, the property appreciated to $500k. And then I moved in, and lived in it until 2018, at which point it was sold for $600k.
So the capital gain I had to pay taxes on was the $200k increase from $300k to $500k. The capital gain portion alone for a property where a parent lives until he/she dies can be calculated in a similar manner.
The only complication is, while Canada has no "inheritance tax", there are probate fees, and IMO they are absolute BS. For a $1M property under a parent's name, the probate fee works out to almost $14k when he/she passes. Yes, it's only 1.4%, but that is still a lot of $$$ going straight into the gov's coffers for no good reason.

I'm willing to go out on a limb that senior officers like the ones you mention are exceptions and likely of the old guard. Characters of the like develop over time and should not be confused for hiring requirements.

Man you couldn’t pay me enough to do policing work. That’s one strenuous job where everything is just constant aggravation. Pulling people over is aggro. Arresting idiots to only see them back on the street is aggro. Shooting flying nuns is for sure aggravating.
Nope nope nope. No thanks. It’s literally cleaning society’s garbage. Dealing with the bottom rung of humanity and their issues.

Chief Palmer is a pretty notable dickhead, and shit flows downhill, so I assume he has systems in place that favour those types. He's also the highest paid chief in canada by like 30% which seems pretty absurd considering the reputation VPD has.

On a personal level, my experience with the RCMP has generally been better. | My impression of the VPD is that they're in it for themselves and not interested in actually serving the community - Adam Palmer is a huge asshole and that mentality just trickles down across the department. Add in the typical police union that will defend any and all police behaviour and you've got yourself the worst civil service org in the city.
The RCMP is not all rainbows and unicorns but seems to be more receptive nowadays to community feedback after their numerous scandals (including their role in the treatment of First Nations). There's some humility there now that the curtain has been pulled back on their worst behaviour.
Given a choice I'd want the RCMP in my community and not the VPD.

Fuckingham is still around doing what he was doing before. I ran into an guy at autocross last month with an inspection sticker on his windshield and asked him if his car was out of province and he said no he got busted by Buckingham in Kerrisdale and then 2 weeks ago I saw him in the F-150 Cain used to drive getting a brown guy with a G37 on rims to remove his license plates.
Vancouver still not safe for modified cars, just quieter about it.

On a personal level, my experience with the RCMP has generally been better. | VPD likes to hire people with either life skills, or multiculturals. When I was debating on joining a few years ago, I was working in their building, in one of the senior offices, and the guy was asking if I wanted to join. 20 minutes later, the short was: if you speak two languages, your in. If you have travelled a few countries or have volunteering history, your probably in
The thing that stuck out that he said "once you become a cop, you will always be the cop in the room at parties, friends events, family events" not that it really matters, unless your around criminals and full blown degenerates
At the end of the day it's 4 on, 4 off, 12hr shifts, fuck that, night shift sucks. Maybe if I was 20 and wanted to arrest sloots on Granville at 2am

It's the stigma of being a cop nowadays.
Every level of law enforcement are having a tough time recruiting, my buddy had to setup shop at Caribbean days this year with a recruitment booth just trying to find applicants.
For the RCMP it's way worse than for the VPD. They can't find pussy in a cat shop. The problem is huge in the US as well.
The simple reality is that being a cop isn't a respected position anymore, it's become heavily stigmatized especially in the younger generation demographic. People are joining the military less and less as well, which has always been the farm team for cops.
The forces will need a serious image change to turn the ship around from a recruitment perspective.

Why would anyone join the RCmP to go work in some shit hole for a decade until you could move somewhere you actually want to be
That’s why regional police forces make so much more sense going forward if for nothing else than recruitment.

You better have real good mental fortitude working as a cop too. You're basically dealing with all the bad parts of society day-in and day-out which will negatively inevitabily affect your mental health and make you a wife beater.

Beats cracks heads then proceed to beats wife at home. Yikes. What a stupid job.
I got pulled over by one of these junior RCMP cops on blundell. He’s like you were speeding. I’m like show me the evidence. He’s like I don’t need evidence. I’m like then how the hell can you prove I was speeding?! I’ll just fight the ticket.
He’s like I can impound your car. I said for what ? You need grounds to impound my car and it sure as shit isn’t speeding. Then I reminded him this whole thing is being recorded by my dash cam and he told me to sit there. Came back and gave me a warning about me speeding.
Fuck you.

Only thing i might be jealous of is their $1M lifetime extended benefits @ 80% coverage for RMT / Physio / Chiro etc. Quote:

Real life example:
Grandparents buy house in Point Grey for $100,000 and it's worth $5,000,000 when they die. You inherit the house. Then you decide a few weeks later to sell it, and get $5,100,000 for it. Your cost base is $5,000,000 and you will pay capital gains on $5,100,000 - $5,000,000 = $100,000.

If a grandparent is leaving you a house, the estate is going to pay the probate fees on the value of the home. It is immaterial whether it is sold and you are inheriting the cash, or inheriting the house, either way it's the same.
If you have assets that are in joint names, or registered investment accounts that have beneficiaries or successors, etc then these are all assets that are generally not going to fall under the will and therefore not attract probate fees. Quote:

If you really want to get pedantic, it's still a $100,000 capital gain to be taxed, but at the capital gains inclusion rate, which is 50%.
