Peace Officer

This is Ivor, a "Peace Officer" at the Ontario Legislative Building. I was intrigued that his vest did not identify him as a "police officer." He explained that for the Ontario government buildings, the police force wants to appear friendly and approachable. I think his smile says it all.

What a lovely idea, and what a lovely smile. I hope this catches on over here.

What a friendly smile! I find Canadians very friendly. fav.

The police always want to be friendly as long as they are not brutal. But I don't trust them. Procedure is everything!

@pcoulson Thank you, Peter. After my little chat with him, I was about to leave but then I thought, "just do it"- and I asked him for the photo (I also explained a little about 365). You were in the back of my mind, Peter, when I summoned up the courage :)

Great capture. Here in Edmonton we have police officers, peace officers and sheriff's

[Heather]

@bkbinthecity That's interesting, Brian. The peace officers were new to me, but I gather they have been around a while.
