Durham Police Assoclation President Dale Allan Police relax tickets for minor offenses Durham Region Police have stopped writing tickets for minor infractions as part of the on-going dispute with the orovincial government. Police Association president Dale Allan said last week officers are going to use their discretion when it comes to ticket writing "If somebody is breaking the law in a dangerous fashion, they'll get a ticket, but for a minor offence, they may just get away with a caution," said Mr. Allan, who heads the 725 member Association that includes civilian members of the force and officers up to and including the rank of staff-sgt. And the members will continue to hand out blue ribbons and buttons to the public that signify support for Ontario police forces in their dispute with the provincial government. However, Durham Police have been instructed to wear their regulation hats. The much-publicized dispute between Ontario Police forces and the provincial government centres around several issues, said Mr. Allan in an interview last week. The issue that has received the most attention, he said, involves the change in regulation that will require all officers to file a written report when they draw a weapon in public. That change, due to come into effect January 1 "is just the final straw," he said. "It isn't juBtified or substantiated," he said. And he scoffed at suggestions that filling out a written weapons report will serve as a function in officer training. "We (police officers) have had (weapons) training for years. We don't need to be filling out reports like this for training purposes," he said angrily Police are also upset over changes in the public complaints commission that now handles those of a "racial nature." There is concern about fair and impartial hearings. And, he said, Police forces are upset because they have not been able to get a meeting with Premier Bob Rae. "Police bashers and special interest groups have had their say," he said. The on-going dispute which led to a court injunction early last week against job action by the Metro force, has generated anger and frustration on the part of many officers all over the province, including Durham, said Allan. But he stopped short of saying that moral in the ranks is suffering. He said what police want now is a face-to-face meeting with the Premier. Until they get that the anger and frustration will continue, he suggested, and so will some form of job action. "This government has made a mistake and we would like it corrected," he said. Officer un-injured A member of the Durham Region Police escaped injury last week when his truck rolled as he was on his way to work.
