(Continued from page 1) Halton is one of the lowest in the province at approximately $116, as opposed to about $145 in Hamilton and Peel. The ratio of police officer to the public in Halton is one of the highâ€" est in the province. Staffing for uniâ€" formed officers as well as civilians has been at a minimum for years. Halton Police costs among lowest in Ont. "These three issues held true priof to the implementation of the Social Contract and the reduction of transfer payments," said La Course. The question of whether crime is increasing or decreasing is irrelevant, but that the level of crime in Halton is simply unacceptable, says La Course, who realizes police must walk the fin€ line between making the public underâ€" stand where their money goes and outâ€" right fearâ€"mongering. One of the biggest hurdles the police have to overcome, he continues, is the public‘s understanding about where their tax dollars end up. In spite of the allure of 0% bud: gets, says La Course, if people were asked to support a $5 increase with the assurance it would be used solely for law enforcement, most would. Granted, job security is an important concern, La Course admits, but says the issue must be addressed in its largâ€" er context. * After all, reactive thinking (as opposed to proâ€"active) which results in service cuts runs the risk of one being injured or killed â€" only to have a subsequent inquest determine » what officers have known all along. _« GRAND P OPENING DAY CELEBRATION Bronte Flower and Ci Join us Dec. 17th between 6 pm 8 pm * Good Year * Sears * Sunkist + Consumers Distributing * Pharma Plus * Toys R Us *Latitudes Flyer Distribution any day of the week, any quantity from $35 per thousand.
