Campbell assumes command Jan. 1st (Continued from page 1) Harding himself had no doubts Campbell â€" whom he said possessed a "visionary" approach to policing â€" would build on his own successes. "I have always been impressed by his depth of caring. We couldn‘t have chosen a better person," said Harding, who presented Campbell with a gold cap badge. "The service has a police officer that will lead you to greater and better things." Campbell, who starts his new job Jan. 1st, said his first priority is to learn as much as he can about Halton, its police and its people. Talking specifics about any changes he might make would be "presumptuous" at this time, he said, since Harding‘s seat isn‘t even cold. He said his basic phiâ€" losophy is communityâ€"based policing and that he will continue to reach out to the public for input. Recognizing the new challenges posed by new laws and court rulings as well as shrinking budgets, Campbell said he will do his best to set the record straight about the perâ€" ceived increase in crime. "Frankly one challenge will be dealing with the hype around crime," said Campbell, outlining how he plans to put the "real facts" before the peoâ€" ple to show them that Halton remains a safe community in which to live. 1395 Abbeywood Drive e Oakyville, 827â€"7636 He said apprehension about violent crime is a Canadaâ€"wide problem but maintained that the chance of "any one of us being victimized by crime is small."

Their community activities have included volunteer work with the Canadian Cancer Society, minor league sports and the Bereaved Families of Ontario.
