Barratt visited the national Estonian police head- quarters in Estonia's capital of Tallinn. The building had served as gestapo headquarters during World War II and later as KGB headquar- ters during Communist rule. It is now the headquarters for the Estonian State Police. The deputy chief was a member of one of three groups of justice pro- fessionals touring the Baltic states (Estonia. Lithuania and Latvia) to 'assess their justice systems and their needs. The U.S. Baltic Foundation had applied to the U.S. Citizen Ambassador Program to send the groups to the Baltic states for that Purpose. Through the federal government and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Barrett travelled for two weeks as the only Canadian in the groups. , Each of the groups stayed in a different Baltic state for one week, then spent a second week comparing notes in Latvia. Barratt filed a report back to Project Assist, as it was known, as well as to Canada's External Affairs department. Barratt is now canying on indi- vidual efforts to address the policing needs of Estonia. On a personal level, he's spon sored (out of his own pocket) the Estonian police chief 's membership in the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "It just seemed like a decent thin; to do," he said. Banatt's also been successful in; bid to Carswell publishing company which has already sent many train- “Vast In Timis" For Christmas . Tattoos .

Barratt has also contacted the director of the Ontario Police College to see if any of their retiring instructors would volunteer to help train officers in Estonia. Barratt is now contacting local Rotary Clubs to seek their assistance in sponsoring the training of Estonian police - through both om- cers traveling (on their own time) to Estonia and having Estonian om- cers, who are training to be senior omcers, come here. "The Estonians need tangible help. They don't need advice. They have a really good grip on the future and where they're going and they have the enthusiasm to do it. They need the resources," he said. The cities and buildings were in better shape than he anticipated, although he said the walls of the police training college. built by a Soviet construction battalion. were crooked. The Estonian flag of blue. black and white - blue for the skies. black for. the state's history of 700 years under someone else's rule, and white for hope - "just about sums them up", he said. "They have the enthusiasm to get on with life. They've done tremen- Mer £795 . Warts . Snoring ll similar trip to the was different bec Communist state D similar trip to the Sovtet Union. "It was different because it was still a Communist state. The invitation came from the Minister of the Interior at a time when they were looking at maybe doing things dif- ferently, but there'd been no changeover." Conditions in Estonia were better than Barratt had expected. Barratt traveled with lawyers, a law professor, public accountant, a mediator and retired police chief (all of whom were American), in his group and each looked at assessing their own area of expertise. For example, contract lawyers are needed in Estonia because there was no need for them under commu- nism.

Now people have the ability to pull off some of these things that they couldn't when their freedom of movement was restrict- ed. You pay for democracy in the way some people take advantage of the system while most people live by the rule of law," said Barratt. In a short space of time, Estonia has written and enacted many new laws. University students from the university in Tartu have been called upon to assist in the task. Still Estonia is currently "grap- pling" with the concept of capital punishment. Since the nearby states have it, Estonia fears it will become a haven for organized crime if it doesn't follow the lead, said Barratt "Estonia is not as bad from my observation in that organized crime doesn't seem to have the same hold there as in other places," said Barratt. Barratt said there is a reluctance to send ofncers outside the country for training, since they seem to return and secure higher paying jobs in private security. That's where Barratt sees the opportunity for bringing instructors to Canada for training in a "train the trainers" exercise so they may return home and train "en masse".
