Don SaundÀlrs as told to HAL TENNANT As the mar iin charge of the hiit-3nd-runý squad of Metropoli- tan Toronto Police, 1I have the kind of job where you neyer know vwli's gaing ta liappen next Just the sa-me, I can confi- dlently make ane predictian; dur- ing the. next 30 days, at Ieas;t 200 maotorists within our jurisdiction will become lit-and-run drivers. It doesn't mnake any difference wliether an accident is big or simnll; wliether oiily a fender was creased o:r a pedestrian killed; wliether the fleeing driver is ta blâme for it or no; wliether he bit or got lit; or wvhethýeriý e stepped on tlie gas a moment after. the crash or, got out and ling-ered a while at the secene - any driver who le-aves wîthliut ientify-ing huiseîf or offening assistance ta the injured is coni- mnitting- an offense under the Clinadian Criminal. Code, and the police mnust try ta catch him. If you're surprised ta hear of any city averaging- 200 or more hit-and-run cases a month you're probably going by wlat you see in Vthew,ýspapers and hear on' the ai-. Quit. naturally, only the really spectacular cases ever get much publiity. Car for car, Tor- enta is prcibably no worse Vlan most Canadian cities and townis, and better than sanie, in its rate of hit-and-run cases. Conserva- tive estimates for ail Canada ran to 15,000 cases iast year with an. &ut of every seven it-and-run accidents involvîng bodily injury. When it lias reached those pro- portions, hit-and-run is obviaus- ly a crime that ria police farce, however efficient, can, hope ta cantrol withaut considerable~ help frani citizens at large. Most people wlen tbey stop ta think about it, realize that lit- and-run-more-thli armed rab- bery or murder-is a crime in which we are al potential vic- tims and may become actual vic- tins at almost any time, by the sleerest chance. It's easy ta visualize your own parked car belng smaslied by a hit-and-run driver. IV isn't Iard ta imagine somebody in yaur family as a lit-and-run victîi lef t lying aon thte street, perhaps dyiug for want of miedicai attention our in danxger of getting struck a second time. W. don't lave ta spe11 out suoli pessîbilities when we ques- in bystanders and ask for their help. But we often wîSh Lthat more people at the scene lad kn.own bef are the. accident -wliat tley could do ta inicrease aur chances of catching VIe vwanted driver and presenting a full case incourt. "Wlodunit"wrts a 1 w a y S make a big point of the fact that tue tiniest and mast suppoIsedlyý trivial scrap of information or evidence cani.be enormously imn- portant in - police work. But iVts true, and boVl police and public would benefit if everybody r-eal.. ized how true if cani be in lit- and-run cases. Thu fect that tlie driver was a yaug-lokig man, for instance, cm leb(-enormousiy useful ta us as ý we piece together the details of a case. suppose w'e are given theât fact and then, tram another wvitness, we geV a license nurmber. W. niay find that the registered owner is a iddle-eged man. We'll kniock at the owner's door, adwhen a middie-eged man anwrs e may ask, "Is. your onhomne, 1pleese?"

But if you're ever at suchi an accident, you'll notice that' the police are also anxious' ta knowx whether the car liad any distinguishing miarkings (sudh as a broken window)1 or equipmnent or orrinments (such as a foxtail on the radio antenna). We ,vant ta know whether any- body got even a glimpsýe of the driver, wliether lie was alane, in what maniner lie was drivingla, wîhether lie switched off his lighits (somnebody farther along the street mriglit remnember seeing a caýr go by wvith its liglits eut) and even thie direction the driver was headed. Some witniesses would be a lot mare help ta us if hey would write down what they see - especially-ý license numbers, which are harder ta remremrber than yau think. If you're ever a wvitness and Yeu daon't have a pencil or paper wlen you see the licenise, concentrate on the first three digits and scratch ail the num- bers you see- into the dirt lit the roadside, or write them xitli your finger tin the dust on the side of a car or building, andT guard hemi untîl you do geV a pencil. On. very prominent citi- zen \vas dismrayed, an, niglit a couple of years aga, ta find the police knocking on bis door with- in an liaur after lie had commit- ted a hit-and-run. It was na feat of m-agic on aur part: an alert witness lad accurately recorded the man's license numnber as lie was fleeing fromn the scenie. (An- other motorist, hawever, gave us the best license identification ,ve ever expect ta get in a hit-and- run case: bis license plate feil off riglit aithVe scene!) On the other liand a waman once swore that a certain hit- and-run car lad a license begin- ning 153-4. Two of aur mren spent hours copying .dawn the. names and addresses of car owners whose licenses hegan with these numbers-taken in any order, in cas. the womnan lad fie order confused. Since we knew the make of the car, aur men were able ta eliminate a lot of names, but ever, at that, they came back witli about 200 names and ad- dresses. We lad ta check out every one. IV was an enorniaus job, but this case was a fatality, and we -were determined ta salve it. WVe cliecked every naine - and gat nowlere. Later, the driver turned himrself in. Ris l- cense dichi't cantain even one of the numcbers the ,voran gave us. Even se, we would rather have fais. leads 1k. that thani no leads at ail. Except for hiit-and-riýn drivers and their companions, -people seldom give us fais. in- formation an purpose, and it's a matter of prafessional thorough- ness with us ta check out every tip. Metro Toronto police aren't unique in this way. No matter wlere you live, you can lie sure that any information you give your police farce about a hit-and- run accident will b. followved up exhaustivel-y. JusV as seemingly trivial recol- lections of witnesses cari b. imi- portant, so can finy scraps of' physical evidence. It's 'ncredibie- wliat scientists can dedu'-ce -in the lab framn bits of glass, paint, metal and mud-tle commanest pieces' of plysical evidenec in hit-and-run cases. It therefore belooves you, as a witness or bystançler, ta leave sucix evidencec undisturbed.
