Letter: Policing duties, pay not always equitable

Send your letters to editor@oakbaynews.com

Sgt. Rob Smith of the Oak Bay Police Department is quoted as saying “It makes no sense to think that

when you’re working alongside with somebody that their pay is not going to be the same as somebody else.” True to a point, but when Victoria and Saanich departments are called in to investigate a suspicious death, Oak Bay takes a back seat. This is part of an agreement between the departments. Saying that you are doing the same job is not quite accurate.

How many of Oak Bay’s constables are receiving a pension from services in another city?
