Retirement - Maj Jim Stewart PDF Print E-mail

0n 11 April 2012, after 34 plus years of loyal and dedicated service, Maj Jim Stewart will retire from the CF and the Military Police branch.

Maj Stewart enrolled in the CF at CFRC Ottawa last century on 2 June 1977 as a military policeman.  After successfully completing MP QL3 training at CFSIS in February 1978 he spent his first tour at CFB Ottawa.  In 1983, Maj Stewart was posted to CFB Edmonton, working as a patrolman, shift 2 IC and IC security section.  He also completed a six month tour in Cyprus during his four years out west. He was promoted to Sgt in 1987, after less than ten years as an MP. His penchant for learning led to his acceptance into the UTPNCM program and he began his studies at Carleton University, completing a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in law in 1990.  He was then posted to CFB Ottawa where he worked as the operations officer and planned/supervised VIP Aircraft Security Officer taskings. Promoted to Captain in 1993, he attended French language training for the next year, and then, following cloak and dagger training, became the Ottawa SIU section commander.  Three years later, he was posted to 8 Wing Trenton as the W SAMP O.  Following a brief stint in CCC HQ Trenton in 2001, he was posted to CFMPA and spent the next six years instructing and mentoring future MP officers and NCMs.  On promotion to Major in 2007, he was posted to his dream job in DPM PS where he ends his illustrious career as the OIC Professional Standards.

Jim and his lovely wife, Joanne, plan to settle in Stittsville, Ontario.  Jim believes golf will figure prominently in his future, although he is pretty sure Joanne will find something for him to do when the weather is not cooperating.

A depart with dignity ceremony honouring Maj Stewart's loyal and dedicated service to Canada will be held at the Royal Canadian Air Force Officers Mess control tower room, Gloucester St. Ottawa, on 23 March 2012.  Further details will be provided once known.

Important Announcement Concerning the CMPA PDF Print E-mail
Written by Colonel Tim Grubb   
Sunday, 15 January 2012 19:18

13 January 2012

In November 2011, the Canadian Military Police Association (CMPA) was accepted as a voting member of the Conference of Defence Associations (CDA) and as the official representative for the Military Police Branch. The objectives of CDA, inter alia, are to consider national security issues and assist the Government in bringing them before the people of Canada, to co-ordinate the activities of member associations in matters of common interest to all branches of the CF, and to generally promote the efficiency and well-being of the CF as a whole.

This is a significant achievement for the MP Branch, as it will be the first time in the CDA's history that our Branch has been represented in, and of, its own right. It also provides the Branch with a venue to make recommendations to the Government, through the Minister of National Defence, on matters of defence policy that could affect the MP Branch.

As current regulations prohibit serving members from direct participation in the CDA, I have asked Colonel (Retired) Ron Donovan, a former Canadian Intelligence and Securit Association (CISA) representative to the CDA, to assume the position of president of the CMPA and to represent the MP Branch at the CDA. LCol Delaney will now assume the post of Vice-President, CMPA.

I have asked Colonel Donovan to continue with the excellent initiatives of the outgoing CMPA executive; make the necessary changes to the CMPA constitution and by-laws to reflect our participation in the CDA; initiate the necessary changes to the CMPA executive to reflect a balance between the serving and retired personnel; explore the creation of a board of directors and new membership categories; grow the CMPA membership to embrace more serving and retired personnel; and ensure that the provisions of the new Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, as they affect the CMPA, are implemented.

I would liek to take this opportunity to welcome Colonel Donovan and to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to the outgoing CMPA executive who have done a remarkable job. Your hard work and dedication, especially during a period of high intensity operations, are commendable and very much appreciated by both me and all members of the CMPA.

Signed,
Colonel Tim Grubb
CFPM
