Photo by Ron Kuzyk Police welcome new officers By Amber Clarke SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Constable Milenko Cimbur is look ing forward to a career as a police offi cer. "I was born and raised in Oakville and like being part of the community, I just enjoy being out in it," said the 23year-old Cimbur, one o f two new Oakville officers to join the Halton Regional Police Service. "I'm looking forward to a long career in Halton," he said. The Halton Regional Police Service welcomed 11 new members -- 10 new constables and one experienced officer during a swearing-in-ceremony at the Halton Regional Centre recently. And they won't be the newest addi tions for long. Another 18 new recruits were hired on November 1st and are leaving this week for the Ontario Police College in Alymer, Ontario. They are expected to be swom-in during February 2000. Since August 1998, the Halton Regional Police Service has hired 54 new recruits. Constable Cimbur and Constable Rafal Skwarka are assigned to uniform patrol in the town of Oakville. Bom and raised in Oakville, Cimbur graduated from T.A Blakelock High School in 1995 and enrolled in the Law and Security Administration Program at Sheridan College. He experienced policing firsthand as a volunteer auxiliary officer with the Halton Regional Police Service, and has worked as a restaurant manager, securi ty officer, and court officer for the Toronto Police Service. He also coaches soccer. While at the Ontario Police College he received an Athletic Participation Award. During his address to the recruits and guests, Halton Regional Police Chief Ean Algar pointed out the some of the huge responsibilities recruits inherit with the badge. "You'll be expected to be perceptive, use sound judgment, common sense and sensitivity to enforce the law. To meet these challenges a rigorous selection process has been developed to obtain the best person for the job. You, your fami ly and friends should feel proud that you've been selected. Many apply and few are chosen," said Algar. "Through your training you have been taught to use your authorized pow ers judicially. You are and will continue to be well trained throughout your career. Recognize your profession as an endless journey and continue learning. "You must be fully aware of the eth ical responsibilities of your position and constantly strive to live up to the highest possible standards of professional polic ing." Musical performances by the Chorus of Sacred Heart of Jesus School, from Burlington, accompanied the swearingin-ceremony. At the Ontario Police College, new recruits are exposed to a wide array of policing basics including criminal law, traffic law and provincial statues. Instructors also cover firearms training, self-defense, rules of evidence, domestic violence and diversity training. After 12 weeks of Police College local training begins with two weeks of in-house training. A new recruit then spends approximately three months working with an assigned coach officer. "They are put in the cruiser and exposed as much as possible to the dayto-day requirements." explained "Sergeant Frank Phillips of the Public Affairs Unit. Constable Skwarka, 23, says he always wanted to be a police officer. "This is something I wanted to do all my life," said Skwarka. "I believe I have the character to serve the public and make a difference." Skwarka grew up in Toronto and also attended Sheridan's Law and Security Administration Program after finishing high school. He graduated in 1998 and went on to study psychology at the University of Western Ontario. He has worked with young offenders and adult offenders at correctional cen tres and was a cadet with the London Police Service. He is also a volunteer with the Special Olympics and the Youth Core Program ran by the Toronto Police Service.
