4 Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 17th, 1975 Lyall opposes extention of regional police into town cites cost too great "Plans are in the air to widen Durham Regional Police Police services in the Town of Newcastle beyond the limits of Bowmanville and I am unalterably opposed to any such action in this direction at this or any other time." This statement was made in a week-end news release by Councillor Kenneth "Kel" tyall who represented the former Newcastle Village, plarke and Orono at the Durham Region Council. According to councillor Lyall, the news of police planning for expansion was broached in minutes of a meeting held by the Board of Commissioners of Police for the Regional Municipality of Durham as Chief Jon Jenkins submitted a report based on the findings of the Department's Department's Planning and Research Research Branch outlining the possibilities possibilities of enlarging the jurisdiction jurisdiction of the Regional Police Forcé. "I requested a copy of the report" Mr. Lyall said "And when I received it, the enlargement of the force concerned the area of the Town of Newcastle situated outside the former Town of Bowmanville which is presently presently patrolled by the Durham Durham Police working out of the Bowmanville Court House building." The Jenkins report offers two alternatives to the proposal. proposal. Under Plan One, 18 police constables would be added to the present force at a cost of $231,660 to patrol Newcastle under a four area patrol system. Five officers would be assigned to cover the area between the eastern boundary of the City of Oshawa and the west side of Regional Road 57-Martin's Road. Five more officers would patrol from the east side of Martin's Road to Highway 115-35 and another five officers officers would patrol from the east side of the 115-35 to the Hope Township line including the fomrer Village of Newcastle. The remaining officers would would cover police work outside of regular patrols while the fourth area would be policed from Number 17 Division. Highway 115-35 and the 401 would remain the responsibi- lty of the Ontario Provincial Police. Added to the list of the 18 needed officers would be a civilian clerk-typist hired at a cost, of $10,000. Equipment needed to put the increased manpower on the road would include police cars, police radios and office equipment that would add another $34,840 to the cost of expansion. According to the report, Plan One would cost $276,203. "Most of the $276,2o3 would be on an annual basis and would have to be found in fresh tax dollars." Mr. Lyall said. Plan Two according to Mr. Lyall "is more conservative and would only cost $193,215 to put into operation." Under this plan, 13 officers would be hired at a cost of $167,310. Of these men, five officers would patrol the eastern half of the Town of Newcastle and five officers would work the west half of the Town with the other three officers covering the nonpatrol nonpatrol duties. Darlington would would be patrolled from Number 17 Division. Extra Police vehicles and radios would bring the cost to $193,215. "I am firmly opposed to this or any other idea of Durham Regional Police expansion." Mr. Lyall said. "Ever since day one of the formation of the Durham Regional Government, I have not supported the principle of a Regional Police force by reason of the cost factor for such a service." "I was and still am of the rigid opinion that the Ontario Provincial Police should have been commissioned with the responsibility of policing the Region, with the Region ' paying the Government of Ontario for the cost of the service." Mr. Lyall is of the opinion that a less expensive police policy could have evolved by the OPP opening two detachments detachments in the Oshawa and another in the north end of the Region. "This would have resulted in police work being handled for the Region at a great savings of tax dollars." Councillor Lyall is deeply convinced that creating a second police force was a costly error. According to Mr. Lyall, the 1975 budget for the Durham Regional Police amounted to $7,364,519 "The third largest demand of the total Regional tax take." In conclusion Councillor Lyall said "I do not know what the future will bring regarding police protection for the Region but I do know that I will object strenuously to any expansion of the Durham Regional Police Force Force and my objections will be based on the matter of tax dollars required for any such moves."
