where the officers ore from some will get along great and others won It depends on the officer Some nat urally public relations type people while others who may have always lived In town stick right to the book Although he grew up in Georgetown has experienced the feeling of working in another community He was sent miles up the road to Ac ton From his experience In Acton said ho learned the Importance of wanting to get to know It mat where you re from you ve got to want to try to communicate Poot said when he was first sent to Acton he was fighting an inner conflict Georgetown was where he grew up and where he wanted to work At first I just did my Then I found out you can just sit in the back ground An officer has to make on effort and get out It takes com with the 11c to do the Job

nation wide campaign known as Police Week Through the media visits to schools and common events the police try to improve relations with the public and the people they deal with on daily basis by explaining their work and more import relating to the community Since Regional govern ment in Hills and the implementation of the Halton Regional Force communication with the pucllc has been of growing concern to the police According to many of the uneasy about dealing with tic Force which some of public ha voiced has come about without reason I would like to think any citizen would feel free to approach any of regardless of ether or not he lives or grew up in the area Police work in Burlington Is he same as Hills We have the concerns with our main duty being to serve and protect the

moved here while others were born and raised in town The return of officers to the beat in a form of foot patrols is a step which the police have reintroduced It too many years ago that policemen on the beat were a common sight They now become more visible again with the new Regional Slop Lock Walk and Talk program Designed not only to curb vandalism and littering the return to a type of foot patrol in rush hours has been com mended as a public ions program to make the officers more a part of the community Returning the officer back to the foot patrol will help to improve pub lic relations and enhance out image to the com in addition to crime prevention MacPherson said The Inspector said as much as the police want to be accepted as part of the community they can spend all their time in relations The Job as unpleasant as it some times has to be must be When we are doing police work we are gov by the law We were sworn in and have taken a oath to protect life and property and sometimes we are com pelted to take action the public doesn agree with I think it takes a special individual to draw the line Mac- said Perhaps a way to com bine public relations and police work is through the Inspector suggest ion for the public to con front police We don sec ourselves as other see us and there Is nothing wrong with the public commenting on the work we do and how wo handle situations he
