Private Security or real Police?


Congratulations to the Vancouver Police Union. They are suing the City for its pathetic decision to spend close to a million taxpayer dollars on "ambassadors."


The so-called "ambassadors" are private security employees. Their usefulness and accomplishments are more than questionable.


The police want more police.


Kim Capripants is one of the great supporters of this mistaken initiative. Nuff said?

Yes I have seen these "ambassadors" I have seen them walk around in large groups doing not much of anything. I don't have a problem with them as long as my money is being used to pay their wage. Give the money to police. I wish capri pants would just stick to flag football.

I noticed the comment in the paper that there had been a suggestion that the Ambassadors be given the role of a peace officer.
Just what Vancouver (the world class city) needs. Pretend a cops.Thankfully that idea was shot down.
I do not want my tax dollars spent on an initiative that is solely for the Downtown core,If businesses want to raise money for this program and solicit donations from individuals great.
It just should not be the taxpayers of Vancouver who fund it.
