November 23, 1994 Each threeâ€"byâ€"five inch pass â€" scheduled to be impleâ€" mented in January â€" will feature the individual‘s picture and a serial number that belongs solely to that person. Sgt. Martin said the cards will allow the media faster access to crime and accident scenes by expediting the process by which officers on site decide who is legitimate and who is not. Many police officers, especially younger ones, are often wary of the media and err on the side of caution, leaving media with deadlines to meet in the cold. New press passes and background checks of members of the media are not invasions of privacy, contend Halton Regional Police, but simply ways of improving access and security. According to Sgt. Joe Martin, a committee comprised of media officers from 17 Ontario police forces sat down and devised the implementation of press passes for excluâ€" sive use by working reporters and photographers. Only those who deal with police on a dayâ€"toâ€"day basis will qualâ€" ify â€" white for fulltime, bright yellow for freelancers. "Everyone would have the same pass, same rules," said Sgt. Martin, explaining that too many people are passing themselves off as media these days. "There won‘t be (a pass) for fashion magazines."

Martin. A convicted pedophile would not be welcome at a policeâ€" related activity in a school, for example. Anyone turned down can appeal to a review committee. "There is nothing untoward about the checks. They are not an invasion of privacy," said Sgt. Martin, explaining members of the media were part of his committee and asked for the passes. "So far the response has been very positive." The passes, which used to be handed out for free, will now cost $25 to cover administration expenses and the videos. The fee may also help weed out those on the periphery of the police beat. Those applying for a pass must view a specially preâ€" pared video outlining how the police expect the media to act at a crime scene and viceâ€"versa. "It‘s a doubleâ€"edged way to resolve problems," said Sgt. Martin. We are hoping a lot of good will come of this and will stop the nonsense." To qualify for credentials, members of the media must also give police corsent to run a background check for criminal activity. The idea, Sgt. Martin explained, is to determine if someone is who they say they are. After all, members of the media are often given access to situations where the public is not allowed. Foariday â€"£verg. 0 °L.
