The West Shore RCMP has launched a new, three-member unit dedicated to investigating sex crimes after the department handled more than 100 such cases last year.

The special victims unit is comprised of two constables and one corporal and is overseen by the staff-sergeant of the serious crimes unit.

"That number jumped to 41 files of this nature as of December 2022, and the West Shore RCMP expects this number to continue increasing," the detachment said. "Often, sexual offence investigations require a significant amount of time, making it difficult for frontline officers to investigate while also responding to other calls for service."

'The Trudeau cabinet approved the sale to Chinese telecom giant Hytera Communications without a formal and full-scale national security review.'

RCMP suspends contract with company tied to Chinese regime, Mendicino's office saysPublic Services and Procurement Canada awarded the contract for a radio frequency filtering system meant to protect RCMP’s communications. Did RCMP 'suspend' its contract with company tied to the Chinese regime in the same way that Heritage Canada 'cut' the funding of CMAC / Laith Marouf? (Hint: The full amount of the contract had been paid to CMAC, which they said they are trying to recover now). If you read the story, the RCMP did not award the contract. It was Justdumb’s dept of Public Services and Procurement….yet he was troubled by it. He’s a real actor… The Minister doles out contracts not the RCMP

That's the only reason. I saw the light 💡. It's not the RCMP that awarded the contract - it is the Gov't of Canada; JustinTrudeau's gov't and cafreeland's gov't and marcomendicino's gov't. HelenaJaczek is the responsible minister, she was appointed to that post by CanadianPM in August 2022. TrudeauMustGo
