Many of us are aware of the problems that are alleged to have arisen
because of CIA-FBI rivalry. The following article re the RCMP shows
that this rivalry between intelligence services (CSIS) and police
forces (RCMP) appears to be a fact of life. Aside from that, the
present state of the RCMP is the result of decades of politicization/
careerism/affirmative action/manpower shortages and inadequate
funding. The following is from the December 31, 2007, edition of the
National Post from Toronto.

Part 1 of 2 Parts
"The RCMP's annus horribilis
Richard Foot, CanWest News Service
Published: Sunday, December 30, 2007
When Giuliano Zaccardelli resigned in disgrace as RCMP commissioner in
December, 2006, he declared at his outgoing news conference: 'The RCMP
is the greatest police force in the world.'
One year later, those words sound as naive and fanciful as a Christmas
fairy tale.
In the 12 months since Mr. Zaccardelli left office - after misleading
Parliament about the Mounties' role in the Maher Arar [was alleged to
have been a terrorist - shipped to Syria and underwent months of
torture] scandal - thing have grown worse, not better for one of
Canada's most famous institutions.
Rather than recover from the shame of having helped send a Canadian
citizen to a foreign torture cell, the force has instead slipped
further into a quagmire of scandal and controversy.
'Canadians are still proud of their national police force. But they
are not happy with what they see,' says John Merriam, a retired Nova
Scotian who served in the RCMP -- and once guarded Prime Minister
Lester Pearson--in the 1960s.
Mr. Merriam says he never imagined the force would suffer the blows to
its reputation it has this year, and figures 2007 could arguably be
called the worse in the RCMP's 130 year history. 'I was viewed with a
great deal of respect when I was a Mountie. Years afterwards whenever
I mentioned that I had been in the force, people would say, "Really!"
we were held in very high regard. Now people look at the Mounties with
concern and disillusionment.'
The most bruising scandal of the year was the news that a project to
outsource the pension and benefits plans for the RCMP's 27,000 members
had been mired in corruption and nepotism. Senior RCMP bureaucrats had
cheated federal procedures by hiring friends and allies, awarded
contracts for work already performed, and circumvented competition
rules.
Money was also improperly taken from the funds to pay for hospitality
costs and other unrelated items, and meeting minutes were fudged to
cover up such acts.
Even more damaging was the ensuing investigation of the House of
Commons Public Accounts committee, which lifted the lid on a
breathtaking culture of mismanagent, contempt for the law and
reprisals against whistle blowers, at the highest levels of the RCMP.
Officers who tried to complain about wrongdoing were persecuted and
those suspected of impropriety were promoted. An independent criminal
investigation into the pension fund problems also was stymied, and
related requests for documents under the Access to Information law
were ignored.
'RCMP senior management allowed an ethical culture to develop which
discouraged the disclosure of wrongdoing and did not hold individuals
to account for unethical behaviour,' wrote the committee in its
December report. 'This has led to a crisis of confidence amongst the
RCMP rank and file members.'
As the pension fund scandal unfolded in Ottawa, so did a parade of
other disturbing news:
--At the inquiry into the Air India bombing, witnesses testified there
was a lack of cooperation between the RCMP and the Canadian Security
Intelligence Service (CSIS) which hampered the investigation into
Canada's most deadly terrorist attack.
Former Ontario lieutentant governor James Bartleman also claimed that
when he was in charge of the intelligence branch at the Department of
Foreign Affairs, the RCMP ignored documents he showed them warning of
an airline attack the same time as the Air India bombing."

Problem is, most of Livermore's security incidents, like Sandia are
internal and the guns aren't much help there.
