- The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August C, 1986 Happy First Birthday by Rob Savage "Laws and people's attitudes attitudes change. So must the police." That was the message delivered delivered by Durham Regional Regional Police Chief Jon Jenkins Jenkins to the Bowmanville Rotary Club at a speech last Thursday. Chief Jenkins said that the Region experienced a ' 13.5 per cent increase in crime during the past year, and the police must move to ; keep up with the times. He told the club the police have made some positive efforts to improve their methods. Rotary members learned that police have traditionally traditionally been "reactive", responding responding to crimes after they've been committed. Now, the police are adopting adopting a proactive policy where they try to predict crimes before they happen. This new attitude towards crime has shaped the way the police view themselves, Chief Jenkins said. "We're the only social agency open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year," The police officer now has a variety of roles, including including marriage counsellor, counsellor, the finders of lost children, children, investigators of a sexual sexual assault, and the helping hand to someone whose car has broken down, the club was told. Chief Jenkins sounded optimistic that the force would be able to keep up with the times. He said the new station was just one sign of continuing change. Anyone who had been to the old station knew the change was necessary, he said. "It was severely overcrowded overcrowded and was incapable of serving the public properly." properly." He said the town had greatly assisted the police in getting the new building. Another aspect of the current current police force which Chief Jenkins seemed very proud of was the community involvement. He said he encouraged encouraged members of the force to live in the community community and become involved in it. Of the 30 members in the force, only one member lives outside the Town of Newcastle, he said. And he stressed the importance importance of public involvement. involvement. He said the Block Parent and Neighbourhood Watch programs had been very helpful. He noted that the schools were also actively involved. He mentioned a program where one officer goes out regularly to Courtice Secondary Secondary School. He said the officer didn't assume an official official position there but acted instead as a consultant consultant to anyone who needed him. And he said the Students Students Against Drunk Driving Driving at Clarke High School was a step in the right direction. direction.

Chief Jenkins began his speech saying he wanted to speak of the past, present, and future of the force. He reminded the club of the history of the force. It began 143 years ago, he said, with Thomas Coleman as the chief and a volunteer force of five. They had only five chiefs over the next 131 years, when the Regional Municipality Municipality of Durham was formed. Chief Jenkins, who had been the chief in Oshawa for five years, was asked to be the chief of the new police department. "From the beginning, I was committed to the concept concept of a regional police force," he said. He said the equipment and facilities varied in the regions at that time, and that the police didn't cover all of the region. This meant Bowmanville was protected by the new force but the Town of Newcastle needed outside help. At that time, the force covered covered an area of 438 square miles. Now, they cover 1,028. Their budget grew from $4 million in 1974 to $25 million million in 1985. Chief Jenkins said the force answered 9006 calls in 1985, with alcohol-related alcohol-related accidents topping the list. Of the 11 sex assaults from last year, arrests were made in all cases. And outside help can always always be counted on in case of emergency. Chief Jenkins Jenkins said there were 86 officers officers working on the Christine Christine Jessop case. When questioned, Chief Jenkins admitted that he would like to see more done to prevent many .drug-related .drug-related crimes. "When you compare it to bootleggingyears ago, these guys make a lot more money," he said. / But he was happy about some of the recent developments developments in the crackdown on drinking'and driving. He said there was a noticeable change in public attitudes towards the crime, especially especially among young children. children. He lamented, however, that drinking and driving was another crime that would never completely go away. " Town Hall To Have Access For Disabled by Rob Savage The new town hall to be built in Bowmanville this year will be accessible to the disabled. This was the message given from council during last week's meeting when they agreed to invite a disabled disabled resident to a meeting with town planners. The request for some sort of consultation came in a letter to council from Joanne McICay. Mrs. McKay asked council to make sure the new building not only met legal specifications but the standards of the disabled disabled as well. She offered to lend her services to those planners who might wish to know what would best suit disabled people. Council gladly accepted her offer. They acknowledged that the planners do try to help the people in wheelchairs. But those same people "have very different ideas" of what is accessible, Councillor Councillor Ann Cowman said. 1/3 off-save 2.00 Another reason shoppers keen sîo?k ?Z fSO many items - We as wen lTt hrand names, products our own ASP label Prices effective at A&P Stores only thru Saturday, August 9th, 1986.
