In Sask. they send Jason with a uniform to do a wellness check. Just look at that photo, that's a VERY bad look.
In Ontario they send the plain clothed officer into your school, workplace and church with a proverbial knife ready for your back.
What a creepy system.

RCMP in Saskatchewan are reviewing the behaviour of an officer captured on video yelling, swearing and carrying an axe into a home where a man had harmed himself.
Jonas Hardlotte lives in Stanley Mission, about 450 kilometres north of Saskatoon, and posted the one-minute video to Facebook.
The 33-year-old Cree man says he was experiencing depression and was speaking to his mother-in-law, who called the local clinic to check on him.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Rob King said in a statement that police received a request for help from the clinic just before noon Tuesday after staff received a 911 call about a man who had injured himself.

It appears that the officer hits the window hard three times with his fist and yells: "Open the door now."
"The (expletive) clinic is here to check on you. Open the door or I'm coming back with a sledgehammer," the officer is heard saying.
The video shows the officer walking away. That's when Hardlotte's cousin opens the door. The officer can be seen returning and walking in with an axe in hand.
"You think I was kidding," he says before entering the home, followed by two nurses.
King said RCMP are aware the officer took away Hardlotte's cellphone and stopped the recording.
"He had no right to do that," said Hardlotte.
