We saw how Calgary Police changed from bright colors to a darker more intimidating tone. This might seem laughable to some but it shows the attitude of police here when they want to be more intimidating than visible. And remember the recent corruption that has come out in CPS leadership.

*disclaimer... For the following, I think this is a perfectly acceptable amount of information to share, despite the opening sentence. But it’s just about advertisements.
I’ve completed jobs inside police stations, and the ads they have for equipment were ridiculous. Kinda freaked me out to be honest. Blacked out muscle cars, officers posing in black sunglasses, with blacked out gear. Just hanging up in the lunch rooms and such.
I don’t want them to look like dorks, but they’re suppose to be protecting us through a public service, not being a badass.
I will echo that I believe they’re on the right track, at least in Canada. Most police who have dealt with me in various ways have been good decent people. And were great at their jobs. (But I still have 1 story, and I know there are others. Hopefully those police can be weeded out).
Edit: also improvement in mental health will play a factor. Which is trending the right way itself.
