Sunday May 5, 2019 1:00pm - 4:00pm 333 Mountainview Rd.S., Georgetown (Located beside the 7/11 in the South Georgetown Center) 905-702-8822 Servicing Georgetown since 2001 A Halton police detec- tive traded blows with a representative of the Ber- muda Police Service without sparking an in- ternational incident on Friday, April 26. The pair squared off at the charity boxing event "Battle of the Badges," which saw emergency service fighters take each other on at the Burling- ton Convention Centre. The sold-out event fea- tured 15 matches, attract- ed around 1,200 specta- tors and raised more than $56,000 for Camp FACES (Family and Children of Emergency Services). FACES supports fami- lies of first responders who have lost a loved one in the line of duty, by sui- cide or sudden death. Hatlon police Det. Const. John McMullan and Bermuda fighter De- jon Benjamin fought for three rounds before Ben- jamin was declared the winner. The charity boxing match was the latest ex- ample of a growing rela- tionship between Halton police and the Bermuda Police Service. Halton Police Deputy Chief Nishan Duriaiap- pah said a partnership between the two police services began in 2017 when Bermuda police took an interest in the Halton Regional Police Service Pipes and Drums Unit. "The Halton Police Pipes and Drums has an international profile, it's probably one of the top police pipes and drums bands in Canada, and it was invited to Bermuda for their International Police Week in 2017," said Duriaiappah. Since then the two or- ganizations have ex- changed policing best practices information and are now supporting each other's charitable events. To those ends, a group of 17 members of the Ber- muda Police Service (11 officers and six civilians) attended a meeting of the Halton Regional Police Services Board on April 25. Besides announcing they would provide a Ber- mudian boxer to the Bat- tle of the Badges, Du- riaiappah said, the Ber- muda police learned more about the Halton Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan. The plan helps Halton Region, Halton police and their community part- ners proactively identify and respond to issues that impact safety and well- being in the community. Duriaiappah said the plan helps officers identi- fy potential problems in the schools and respond to issues from mental health to addiction. The deputy chief said there is also plenty Hal- ton police can learn from their Bermuda counter- parts. The Bermuda Police Service's use of technolo- gy to promote road safety is one area Halton police are interested in. "In Bermuda all the roads have either cam- eras or speed measuring devices at almost every intersection," said Du- riaiappah. "Also, the rates of vio- lence are extremely low in Bermuda because they have some really interest- ing strategies to mitigate violence." Halton police are ex- pecting an invitation to Bermuda in 2020 to par- ticipate in a fundraiser in support of the Special Olympics. During the Halton po- lice board meeting Staff Officer to the Commis- sioner of the Bermuda Po- lice Service Calvin Smith discussed the relation- ship between Halton and Bermuda. "We are a pro-commu- nity policing organiza- tion. That is our brand of policing," said Smith. "We've shared some of our philosophies with you. You've shared some of your philosophies with us. Some of the new things you will see will have come from us and some of the new things that we do have come from you. Thank you for the opportunity."
