followup Helton Regional Police may adopt a point system that could allow them to pick and their cases more accurately according to Hiltons police chief James Harding This means some bur glaries and robberies could be dropped while more emphasis is placed on cases with sufficient information to continue the inves tigation You dont think this happens now asked Harding explaining an informal system of priorities goes on every If there are three break ins on the go and a call about a Greenock Wl Honor Mrs C rape comes In youd go with the rape of cour se Declining to comment on the Ottawa deputy chiefs assertion that the number of break Ins have dropped in Ottawa by per cent since using the point system Harding said only It is not a crime reduction program All it does is use a rational means to do a follow up he ex plained This is to assist the police officer in setting priorities which some crim inologists may say is the use of discretion but its not The point system has recently been resear ched at the Sollcltor- ministry and Is based on numerical actors not adding up to 10 If tbe numbers dont up to 10 or more then the case would be dropped For example there would be seven points If a witness has reported the crime seven points if there are usable fingerprints nine points if there is a description of the suspect and one point if there Is a vehicle description Staff Graham of the Criminal Investigations Bureau on Street said he doesnt believe the point system is necessary in unless the workload Increases in the next few years WeuontneeduVhe stated because we do it now Just by common sense and weve been doing that for years He explained if there is not much Information about a crime theres not a lot we can do about It Theres no doubt we work on priority Staff Graham said But a detective knows whether theres enough information to have a follow up he said Chief Jack of Metropolitan Toronto Police has recently cautioned against the point system because of the danger of concen trating on cases where large sums of money was stolen and dropp ing the little cases But police chief James Harding believes people in Halton will have to become used to the growing reality of less resources in the police department Only the bigger crimes will be served he stated hope for an invest igation of thefts such as a stolen bicycle My resources are stretched to the limit he said Something Is going to snap There Is going to be the time when people dont see a police of ficers face he said The public has got to be prepared for this Spectacles are not all created equal Georgetown
