One of the partnerships that we enjoy is our citizen volunteers Communities On Phone Patrol. C.O.P.P. is a joint effort of Halton Regional Police Service and the citizens of Halton. It is a structured program that is supervised by the Service where the role of the volunteer is to OBSERVE AND REPORT. The members are volunteers from the commu- nity who receive on-going training from the police. While volunteers do not become directly involved in incidents, they invest their time and energy to ensure the continued safety and securi- ty of our community in conjunction with police. Our volunteers have been instrumental in locating missing people, assisting stranded motorists, identifying suspicious vehicles and sus- picious activities, as well as being the anonymous eyes and ears during some of our initiatives. C.O.P.P. volunteers are not restricted to patrolling. They operate the radar message board and are often called upon to assist at fairs, festivals, parades, safety events (including seatbelt and RIDE campaigns), Police Day and Police Week activities. The motto of the Halton Regional Police is Progress through Participation and never is it more evident than with our C.O.P.P. program, a group of loyal energised and committed citizens. If you would like to join our C.O.P.P. team and you meet the following requirements, please contact me. Alternatively you can pick up an application package at 217 Guelph St, Georgetown (11 Division) or 490 Childs Drive, Milton (12 Division). Requirements: 19 years or older have good eyesight preferably have a valid drivers licence will pass a background check.

Maureen Andrew A fund has been started for Kellie Thompson, a local woman who suffered seri- ous injuries in an accident on Ninth Line last month. Tammy Kudlik said Thompson, 35, suffered broken legs and a shattered hip in the March 16 collision that claimed the life of Thompsons friend Bob Thomas. Prior to the accident, Thompson was a wait- ress at Kelseys in Georgetown, where Kudlik also worked. Thompson was to be released from hospital earlier this week, but will require extensive rehabilitation and initially require the use of a walker. Kudlik said Thompson, who is expect- ed to fully recover, will be moving back to London to have physiotherapy there. Anyone interested in making a donation to the trust fund for Thompson can do so at any TD Canada Trust branch. The branch number where the account was set up is 2065 and the account number is 6031-868. Fund established to help local woman injured in crash
