To Serve and Protect

  Have you noticed that the OPP is making it more and more difficult to spot them on the highways? I passed an unmarked OPP "Mini Van" the other day. A Mini Van? I say its not fair! All Police vehicles should look the same otherwise we will never know when to slow down.
  What do OPP officers actually do? I know municipal police take care of crimes and city driving, RCMP officers handle federal matters like drugs.. so what do OPP officers actually do all day? I looked it up and it seems in smaller towns where there is no local police force the OPP provides policing services. They also are responsible for the highways, the waterways and security at Queens Park.
  So what do these guy do in the GTA area? Police the highways, boat the waterways, and hang out at Queens park! I don't think many are needed at Queens Park and I also don't think we have that many police boats patrolling our Toronto waterways. So that leaves the vast majority of OPP officers hiding along the highways.    
   These are fit, intelligent, strong officers sitting in their cars all day. I say that if these officers are going to spend their days on the highways then why not put them to work. They are supposed to serve and protect. It's time they start serving. lets get them fixing the pot holes, changing the lights and repaving the highways and if a car dangerously speeds by they can take turns chasing them. That would be serving and protecting as a team! It would also give us a team in Toronto to be proud of.
