involved could provide a major obstacle at budget time next spring Except for a glaring ethical question that bothered at least two members the ad ministration and finance committee last week endorsed for Halton lying its Implementation to next years consideration of the Regional police budget In an oral and audio visual presentation to the committee Dan Okuloski said the cost of the program between April and December 1985 will rise to almost a vear thereafter That figure covers salary for two officers and telephone and administrative costs Okuloski said but news media whose in in the program is essential are expected to provide air time newspaper space and possibly even production equip free of charge as a voluntary public relations contribution In return Okuloski said the public sees more serious criminals apprehended substantial amounts of stolen goods recovered and relations between police and public improved Lending their support In principle to the program are five chambers of commerce Representatives from each Including Georgetown Walter and Acton Greg Smith the meeting Crimestoppers begins with the reenact men of an unsolved crime usually rape murder assault or burglary but any felony in the news media with full descriptions and pertinent date and an appeal for anyone with Information to call a special number Callers arc given a code number lo use instead of heir name To overcome their fear of retaliation and court hassles mily Is protected while police follow up on lips and if an arrest is made in Ihe case a board of volunteer administrators decides how much information was worth up to a maximum of Payment is made quietly by a board member according to the caller preferred conditions Okuloski said that Hamilton where CH CH TV News runs a segment called Crime of the Week every Monday evening has seen 185 arrests and more than worth of stolen property recovered and illicit drugs confiscated in the past year thanks lo viewers responses Ten of the crimes highlighted have been solved he said Two k nds of viewers call in information said Between and 50 per cent arc ordinary citizens motivated at least in part by a genuine interest in helping police and the community The reM are either dedicated criminals fringe criminals or their acquaintances who call In just for the reward ltors Carol Gooding of and Joan of Burlington questioned the ethics of a program based on coaxing citizens to come forward lo help their communities I con support Ihe principle Gooding said but it almost bribing citizens to live up to their responsibilities I would hale lo think we re selling precedent The whole purpose of the administrative board seems to be to just sit around and decide who worth what I loo have a repugnance for this whole payola thing Little added But I guess vc re expected lo try and balance idealism reality Hallon Hills Councillor Mike Armstrong expressed some misgivings over the fact that according to Okuloski s figure only per cent of callers refuse the reward money I suppose thai means that for per cent of them money talks he noted less voicing strong support for the program I think it probably all part of the complex we live In Burlington Walter Mulkewlch en ted The reward is an attention get ting device Burlington Councillor Jim Grieve chairman of the Police Commission said If there are some scums out there who need to motivate them so be it What began in Albuquerque New Mexico in late 1970s as a frustrated policeman s attempt to overcome community apalhy and gain public help in solving a crime has blossomed into a major force in crime fighting annually recovering millions of dollars worth of stolen merchandise The program is now administered provin dally in Alberta which became Crime stoppers first Canadian home In 19B2 Calgary and Edmonton have tallied almost arrests since hen thanks lo Ihe program Okuloski said Is ready for a program like Crimestoppers he said We have Ihe media we need here and I think we can only benefit from something like this that will bring the community closer together Milton Councillor Brad Clement noted hat Hal Ion Cable television appears to be the only area television station In that serves the Region uniformly although claimed that re enactments work equally well In news papers in towns where there in no television coverage The sergeant told Gooding that he knows of no research into the possibility of Crime stoppers telecasts prompting copycat crimes by viewers Nor is he aware of court cases being jeopardized when it is discovered that jury members have prior knowledge of the crime because they saw It reenacted There has been some concern over witnesses testimony being affected by Ihe program he acknowledged In several ironic instances he viewers have called in Information about a suspect under the mistaken impression that police are seeking actor who portrays the suspect In the reenactment them cleaning fish bowls Incidentally they do clean windows The inside panes only The same team will return a home ensuring a client s instructions and prefer will be considered If there Is a problem the learn is confronted with it by the client Mrs
