hour a certain type of crime is com milted in an area province or nation are an effective way to ex plain the crime problem to the public is developing its own crime clock Harding said In his view the beat way to combat crime is with crime prevention He explained If someone makes their home more secure they buy a guarantee against a burglary However making your home more secure does help It discourages the oc casional thief buys time that an officer will spot the burglar while patrolling or a neighbor will see something odd happening and call the police and It creates noise which will tip off patrolling police and neighbors There will continue to a gap between what the public expects In the way of service and what tax dollars can support and effective patrol ling will continue to be a community concern He says It Is the Job of police and regional politicians to explain exactly what the force can do within existing resources Harding said if he ever won a lot of money In a lottery he net up a pri vote police service something Canada needs to handle the little crimes Councillor Dave Whiting said the region Is playing catch up In many service areas and the police is just another where the council must spend a lot more money now that the region Is back on the right financial track The region must come to grips wllh spending to Improve policing Policing has been since the regional force was bom in 1074 and it is still bloody deficient Harding declared At the same time he thinks the force has progressed by leaps and bounds the past couple of years with over 3 man
