message: hahahaha they still have the ER sign for the police symbol. Canada = UK number 2.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.218.215.142 (talk) 02:09:01, August 18, 2007 (UTC)

There's no ER sign (which I think you meant "EIIR" (Royal Cypher) on VPD logo. There is the crown which symbolizes that the police force derives its authority from the Crown, the Queen of Canada. It is very common for British Realm's police force to have Royal crown as part of the symbol.--Cahk 10:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It would be interesting to know how much police officers get paid in this organisation, or at least to know how much a new constable and the Chief Constable get paid. It would also be interesting to know how many officers there are at each rank. Kookiethebird (talk) 21:05, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
