Seriously? They Really Have Them In Canada...

...or more to the point, Outside Canada

I was just looking on wikipedia, that great resource of mostly accurate information. Just as the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy is mostly reliable. And the people who find the Guide less than reliable are usually not able to correspond with the publishing house based in Ursa Minor... because they are suffering from terminal lack of oxygen or been eaten by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

Anyway, International Liason Officers are real!!!

The RCMP International Operations Branch assists the Liaison Officer (LO) Program to deter international crime relating to Canadian criminal laws. The IOB is a section of the International Policing, which is part of the RCMP Federal and International Operations Directorate. Thirty-five Liaison Officers are placed in 25 other countries and are responsible for organizing Canadian investigations in other countries, developing and maintaining the exchange of criminal intelligence, especially national security with other countries, to provide assistance in investigations that directly affect Canada, to coordinate and assist RCMP officers on foreign business and to represent the RCMP at international meetings...

I just thought that would be really interesting, now to find out if Mounties have guns in Canada, and more importantly, would Ray have a gun if he was a Mountie in Canada.

Actually, you're right, Benny's not nuts... when he joined it was before Victoria, it was before his father's death. He will have had some emotional issues surrounding his father's perceived abandonment of him, and his mother's death, but they're emotional things, not psychological things, and he'd be well enough in control of himself that they wouldn't be a problem.

Exactly. (I should have been in bed like, an hour and a half ago, so don't mind my brevity?) And the standards were some different then, anyway; Ben came in after Mike, so he missed the massive expansion the Force went through right then, but with his credentials (his Dad, his ability to deal with remote postings) he definitely woulda been given some preferential consideration, too.
