Human nature can be a tough thing to comprehend at the best of times, but Joel Glen remembers when he thought policing would help him understand at least a little better why some people do the things they do.

He named domestic assaults as a prime example 91裸聊视频� surely being a officer would answer questions around such often-brutal incidents of violence?

But even after more than two decades of investigating those and other files, Glen said that simply hasn91裸聊视频檛 been the case.

91裸聊视频淚 thought being a cop, I91裸聊视频檇 get to understand human nature better, but this job91裸聊视频檚 made it way worse,91裸聊视频� he said last week, during an interview at the White Rock detachment.

91裸聊视频淓ven now, there91裸聊视频檚 still things that happen where you say91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频業 can91裸聊视频檛 believe you just did that. How can you do that to somebody you love?91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

The disconnect never swayed his passion for the job.

Glen, who grew up in Vernon, has been with the RCMP for 21 years. He ended nearly four years as sergeant at White Rock91裸聊视频檚 detachment last week, after accepting an offer to take a post in Kelowna, effective June 11.

At 51, Glen says this next chapter of his career will take him away from what91裸聊视频檚 been a great place to work 91裸聊视频� but it91裸聊视频檒l also take him right back to where he wants to be.

91裸聊视频淚 really am looking forward to it,91裸聊视频� the affable officer said of the general-duty position that he accepted in January.

91裸聊视频淚 think, in my heart, I91裸聊视频檓 more of a street cop as opposed to an administrator. It91裸聊视频檒l be fun.91裸聊视频�

The sergeant marked his last day at the seaside city91裸聊视频檚 detachment on May 24.

In an interview two days prior, Glen 91裸聊视频� who has lived on the Semiahmoo Peninsula with his wife and three children for 24 years 91裸聊视频� described a diverse career that91裸聊视频檚 included far more than domestic-assault investigations. It91裸聊视频檚 taken him from municipal-detachment posts, to stints with a pair of the Mounties91裸聊视频� integrated teams, including targeting auto crime.

He arrived in White Rock after four years as a unit commander with the Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, a unit that was created in 2005 to monitor sexual predators who have been recently released from custody, to ensure they comply with probation orders and bail conditions.

Regardless of where he was posted or what point of his career he was at, Glen said there91裸聊视频檚 been no shortage of interesting files and incidents.

In Langley, he had a butcher knife thrown at him by a suspect he91裸聊视频檇 tracked to a stairwell while investigating a domestic incident. He received a medal of bravery for his response to that 2009 incident.

He broke his hand 91裸聊视频� to a degree that required surgery 91裸聊视频� in a fight that ensued with a suspect during a stolen-car investigation.

And, he had a stinging encounter with a barbed-wire fence while pursuing a suspect in Walnut Grove.

Not to mention sundry other 91裸聊视频渂umps and bruises.91裸聊视频�

For those with any doubt, the City of White Rock, said Glen, is 91裸聊视频渄efinitely not immune to big-city problems.91裸聊视频�

He named drive-by shootings and sex assaults as among files that have been investigated over the past four years as evidence of the claim. He91裸聊视频檚 also warned residents about tax and , and logged reports of shots-fired.

And of course, the massive May 2016 fire in Five Corners 91裸聊视频� which remains under , as the quest to identify and locate the arsonist who set the blaze continues.

There91裸聊视频檚 also cases that warm the heart, such as Glen91裸聊视频檚 first call-out after arriving in White Rock: to assist in the rescue of a beached seal pup, after the mammal was found stranded near the white rock.

Out of everything, Glen said the toughest part of policing for him, has been when he91裸聊视频檚 had to tell parents their child has died.

But he91裸聊视频檚 never doubted his career choice.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e wanted to be a cop since I was a little kid. It91裸聊视频檚 all I ever wanted to do.91裸聊视频�

Glen91裸聊视频檚 seat at the White Rock detachment has been filled by Sgt. Rob Dixon, from the Surrey detachment91裸聊视频檚 major crimes unit. Dixon was among officers cited for heroism and outstanding service in 2016.
