Du rham-Northumbe rland department's entîre force sits down and analyzes problemn areas within its terrîtory utilizing past statistics. For instance, if a certain area seems to have had a lot of accidents during one month, we will look at the causes and plan action to try and eliminate them, ecplained Cst. Watkins. Lîkewise, if a locali- ty is more prone to thefts and break and enters, patrol there would probably be geared up. At any one time during the day or night, there are usually three or four vehicles from the Newcastle detachment on the road. Four mrarked cars, two plain cars and two motor- cycles compose the Newcastle From Page One Empbasis on Traffic Except for Manvers town- ship, the detacbment's emphasis is on traffic enforcement. Anything of a criminal nature is turned over to Durham Regional Police. Due to the heavy volume of traffic whicb travels througb most of this area, the Newcastle OPP carry the most up-to-date traffic enforcement equipment, explained Cst. Watkins. Specialized cars carry bydraulic signs complete with a variety of traffic directions. These are ideal for accidents when they can be used to manoeuvre traffic around the area of police activity. Cars now furnished with radar which must be used while stationary, will soon be equipped with units which can dlock a car's speed while the cruiser is moving.

Description of a vehicle caught speeding will be radioed to a nearby patrol car. Watkins said this stretch of road is the worst for traffie problems in the detacbmnent's whole area mainly because of the traffic leaving and coming onto the higbway f romn a string of commercial establish- ments. There used to be aircraft patrol of this area but it was dîscontinued two years ago, said Watkins, due to provincial government spend- ing restrictions. Watkins said it was decided to have the patrol once again because there has been a substantial rise in traffic violations and collisions recently. The aircraft will be flown by civijuan pilots operat- ing out of Downsview and will be manned by one constable. Motorcycles The Newca stle detachment also boasts a motorcycle patrol consîsting of two bikes. Cst., Watkins is one of the officers who completed the three-week training -course in Aylmer wbich is a require- ment before motorcycle duty can be assumed. The motorcycle is the most ideal unit for enforcing traffic, especially on a two-lane high- way, said Cst. Watkins. It blends into traffic better than a police cruiser and is more capable of going in and out of heavy traffic. If a driver looks in bis rear-view mirror and sees a motorcycle bebind bim, he seems to pay less attention to it than he would if he saw a black and white car witb a red fleet. They can be backed up at any time by the Whitby, Cobourg and Peterborough detachments. Peterborough is the district headquarters and bas identification facilities, a team of police dogs, snowmo- biles,, boats etc. which are available to Newcastle. The detachment can also draw on the support services of the Toronto headquarters.' In addition, the detachment is connected to the Canadian Police, Information Centre through which it can corn- munîcate with police depart- ments throughout North America including the National Crime Index Centre in Washington.

Wen- riding a motorcycle,,it is easier to sp& other serlous traffic violations besides speeding, especially those relating to passing, failure to yield and following too closely, added Watkins. 1Motorcycles seem to act as a very strong public relations device for police, because there is a certain charm to them. "Whetber it be a war veteran or young lad,. people seem to have the same feeling about motorcycles." Monthly Planning An important ingredient of the Newcastle OPP's policing job is its detachment planning program.
