The English teachers â€" who will be dispersed into four other faculty programs as of September â€" are cific_courses as opposed to lanâ€" guage and literacy courses, explained Butler. "There will be a reduction in the amount of English taught. students who desperately need language help will get a lot less of it," said Butler. New chief employment equity booster (Continued from page 1) Over the next three years, Halton will be forced to trim $1.6â€" million from its operating budget, currently about $38â€"million, he said. "That‘s a very significant amount, especially when some 80% is made up of wages. There‘s not a whole lot of flexibility unless you begin to reduce the number of peoâ€" ple you have." The chief doesn‘t want to see a reduction in staff, particularly among constables. The supervisory level is a more likely target of budâ€" get cutting, he said. For now, cost savings are coming from the employees of the service, through wage rollbacks forced by the social contract legislation. "It‘s the rank and file who‘s helping us right now, saying things like ‘We won‘t take overtime, and we‘ll make our uniforms last a year longer‘." One of Campbell‘s priorities is maintaining and boosting the conâ€" cept of communityâ€"based policing â€" the notion of a cop walking a regâ€" ular beat, knowing the people in a specific community. "I‘m a very strong believer in community policâ€" ing. I think that‘s my number one priority." It‘s something that‘s been lost in the modern era of policing, and he sees a need for officers to embrace it again. "There are some factors that drove police to act more indepenâ€" dently â€" the fact that they were all put in cars made them more a slave to a radio dispatcher to become aware of the activities on the street," he said. "We need to go back and retrench. Reâ€"establish the contact that a police officer on the street had. We‘ve been asking people what bothers them. ‘What is it that you want; what can we do to restore your quality of life‘?" The new chief shares the same view as Harding on the controverâ€" sial issue of employment equity. There must be more women and more visible minority police offiâ€" cers, in order for police to better reflect society. "I‘m a strong supporter of aggressive employment equity proâ€" grams, and affirmative action, to see the police are representative of the community. We‘re one of the frontâ€"line service providers of any government structure. So if we are to have credibility in our society, we should look like that society. "Harding was a strong supporter, and you can see it â€" Halton Regional Police is something like 18% women. That‘s a long way from the 50% it should be, but it‘s probably higher than any other police agency." How aggressively will Halton Regional Police try and attract females and minorities? "We are not about to hire target group members who don‘t meet the standards we have set for police officers of this province. But we are going to aggressively try and increase the target group members who come to our doors ... to increase the number of applicants so the pool from which we are selecting is greater." Campbell came to Halton after leaving the Ontario Provincial Police, with whom he built up an impressive resume. He rose steadiâ€" ly through the ranks achieving the position of deputy commissioner of field operations, directing 16 OPP districts with 180 officers. He oversaw the implementation of community policing throughout the OPP and helped setâ€"up standâ€" alone police agencies at the Six Nations Reserve, and Akwesasne First Nations Territories. He‘s also managed computer and telecommuâ€" nications functions and worked in training and planning roles.

Since assuming the role at the start of this year, he has been meetâ€" ing the officers and civilians who make up the local police service, and so far he likes what he sees. "I‘m finding it very stimulating and invigorating. The people in the Halton Regional Police have been exceptionally warm and welcomâ€" ing." Modesty is apparently one of the chief‘s best qualities. Asked about his hobbies and interests, he said, "I love to golf, but I‘m lousy. My handicap? It‘s so bad it‘s not fit for print."
