How is the RCMP going to conduct assessments at the division or detachment level, given commanding officers' evidence-based information, to continue to make the sound, risk-based decision on the carbine to be assessed? How do you make that decision?
I understand that the north was given priority first, but if an officer is on patrol and hears a call for something that they need a carbine for, do they stop and go back, or should they rest assured that their vehicle has the body armour and carbine they need to go and assess the situation?
