These still do happen but not as regularly. There were points in time where officers would come on their personal time off to represent the local police (Richmond RCMP was one of them) and it was great because they kept the community safe and the amount of burnouts and monkey business was, for the most part, kept to a minimum. We just need to proactively include them as an interest group to ensure we all meet somewhere in the middle.
As for the police officers in question with the VPD, I don't know what their motive is so it's hard to put my finger on it. Otherwise, I personally like having police officers at meets. They keep the oddballs at bay and people safe.
