1967 was no exception acton opp officers state in their weekly report to the free press traffic on our highways in particular the nortb country was estimated to be the heaviest ever experienced with accidents being reported at a corresponding rate we of the acton opp feel fortunate in any week when no accidents are reported and con sequently feel twice as fortunate and greatly pleased to note a complete absence of accidents this week in acton unfortunately other activities encompassing almost every phase of police work more than made up for the lack of accidents during 192 workhours and 741 patrol miles the officers of this six man detachment were called ufon to investigate one theft two a law abiding town break and enter complaints two w will do our best to-control- any situation we are

public place and often too upon arrival at the s of the occur rence the parties responsible have fled the area the police must now carry out an invest igation into the complaint in order to determine the participants and yet it is amazing when as many as a dozen people and more witnessed the disturbance that no one can recall what took place or who was involved someone complained but sho the constant repetition of this type of action becomes most frustrating but becomes even more frustrating the following day when we hear people re marking that the police did noth ing about the disturbance last night how can we take action in a matter we did not see and can learn nothing about you say you dont want to get involved well you must if we are to have disturbances and 12 other
