2 The Acton Free Press Wednesday Vandalism target of crime bureau Former Acton detachment commander of Regional Police and member of the Georgetown Detachment Ser Dick Hilton is heading up a new crime prevention bureau in the main targets will be vandalism Vandalism is an ever increasing problem in and Chief Ken has said in the past It has become so bad across the region most of the time all police can do is make out reports At Thursday Police Commission meeting mem bers expressed concern a bout costly vandalism Mayor Harry Barrett said it is costing OakviUe a lot of money to repair public property which is vandalized He said there has been a rash or incidents in parks In which trees are destroyed Police Chief Jack Jeffries said other municipalities POLICE ESTIMATE in damages to this car after its collision With a in the region and the Board of Education have also dump truck at Willow Street and St Alban Drive last Thursday mor as have residents The Guelpn city driver received major injuries saypolice Parking review He indicated to Barrett who said his town is open suggestions that the municipalities might consider following the school board lead and install alarms In their buildings He announced Sergeant Hilton is in charge of the regional police force new crime prevention bureau and vandalism is one crime he will be looking at said it is a very remote chance patrolling officers will spot vandals at work The main weapon police have against people vandalising is public assistance Jefferies thought the police should be educating the public to contact police while vandalism is taking place so officers can respond In an interview this week Superintendent Floyd said public awareness and action is the best weapon against vandalism He would like to see neighbourhood watches set up If neighbors got together and talked about neighborhood problems from time to time the likely result would be every one becoming alert to damage being done to anyone pro perty He noted vandalism is rare when people are at home He suggested that when people go away even for a short time to let neighbors know so they can keep an eye on things Sch wanti also suggested when people leave their home for an extended period of time they leave a key with friends tlves so the house can be checked periodically would like to see citizens who sec anything suspl clous obtain as much information as possible about the suspect and call police Immediately The Information about a suspect is important so police can determine tho person identity If a citizen sees a criminal act being committed he can make a citizen arrest If a person apprehends a vandal use only as much force as is absolutely necessary for the appre hension and call the police immediately He said while people can also legally make a citizens arrest of a youngster between the ages of seven and no force should be used only their name and address obtained said the young person should be allowed to go home then and their name given to the police A key aspect to citizen participation in the battle against vandal is willingness later logo Into court and testify Calling police won cure it because the officer t seen the act of vandalism His evidence Is hearsay In court He said vandalism is a new experience In North Halton It has increased substantially in recent years but is no worse than in other areas vandalism Is a world wide problem He noted he recently received a bulletin from a small town in England about vandalism there which costs pounds in damage each year He said it is easy to blame a permissive society for vandalism but that t do much to solve the mushrooming problem He agreed with s assessment that police are only able to reports about vandalism these days because it Is so difficult to investigate Mischief and vandalism Is usually an isolated case and there much if any evidence to connect the enme with the culprit The key to a vandalism investigation is an eye witness said without a witness vandalism invest gallons area was police tuneand resources He suggested more police aren the answer to curbing vandalism cither We could have a cop on every corner and they would strike in the middle of the block Vandals strike as soon as they are out of view of the authoritative eye He said it Is no misconception that teenagers are respon for virtually all vandalism New
