Footage of this chase was being taken by a television helicopter that was on the scene and following the chase. As the suspect alighted from his vehicle he was seen to be overwhelmed by at least eight officers and several are alleged to have been punching and kicking the suspect as he fell to the ground. I have been asked by many people if what they saw on television really constitutes po lice brutality. My only advice when asked is simply a twist on an old adage. "Brutality is in the eye of the beholder". Back in the mid 70's the Government of Ontario held a Royal Commission Enquiry into the practices of the Metropolitan Toronto Po lice after many revelations of police brutality were reported to the press. Just after the en quiry commenced there was a wild car chase involving several police cars that saw a sus pect crash into a hydro pole. Several officers apprehending the suspect were seen by people on the comer administering what was descnbed as a severe beating on the suspect. One lady was so alarmed she contacted police dispatch only to be told that she was not to worry and Robinson Helicopters "just have a cup of tea and go back to bed." Media hounds made quick work on the story and before too long the event was made a part of the initial enquiry's terms of reference. I have often admired the courage and in sight of the Judge that headed this enquiry. His ruling on this matter was one that bore witness to his wisdom and understanding of human na ture. Not having the actual document to refer to I can only paraphrase it It basically said that police officers are human beings and do not come with pressure gauges on their arms. ln the heat of the pursuit, with adrenaline levels run ning high, it would be almost impossible for anyone to regulate the force or pressure being applied to a suspect being apprehended. ln such high stakes extremely volatile situ ations anything can happen. The responsibil ity for the chase is on the head of the person who initiates the chase and if he is hurt as a result of such misadventure then it is a risk that comes with the territory. The suspect can, or should, expect that a major part of the risk he has taken will include a rougher than normal arrest because he has scared the bejeepers out of everyone involved. The idea of chasing someone who's only goal is to get to the horizon, and at any cost, is complicated by the adrenaline rush and fears of those who are required to stop him. ln this

Hlfii!IIU maintain a high level of preparedness in the event of disaster by participating in emergency response exercises on a monthly basis. One ofthe ongoing special enforcement ini tiatives is in the area of"On Board" incidents, sometimes referred to in the popular press as "Air Rage". Many incidents in the past few years have received worldwide public atten tion like the passenger on an Air Canada flight to the Caribbean who assaulted members ofthe flight crew and threatened the safety ofthe air craft, the flight diverted to Miami where the passenger was oflloaded. The culprit was re leased in Miami with no charges. Peel's Airport Division was then contacted and an investigation was initiated. The culprit was later located and arrested in Winnipeg and returned to Brampton where he was subse quenlly sentenced to three months for "Endan gering an Aircraft". This type of incident on an aircraft unfortunately happens all too frequently. Peel Regional J>oJice are concerned about the increase in on board incidents and the in crease in severity of these incidents. In re sponse, the Airport Division has formed part nerships with Transport Canada and the airlines to come up with preventative measures, this was backed up with a strict enforcement policy. Peel Police looked at best practices in other jurisdictions like London's Gatwick Airport where this problem was successfully tackled head on. These initiatives have put Pearson International Airport in the forefront in deal ing with this issue and the Peel police are rec ognized internationally as a leader in the area ofdealing with airborne crime.

The initiative was launched with the Chief of Police appearing on a community talk show promoting and endorsing the program.

The neighbourhood was evacuated after a middle aged man wanting to dispose of some dynamite left a bag of the explosive with a vol unteer staffing the station. "It appeared he just wanted to get rid of it. There was no implied threat,'' said Sgt. Lorette Hickling. "Unfortunately, he left without providing any information about where the dynamite was from or what else was in the bag or anything like that." The bomb disposal unit from the Depart ment ofNational Defence was called in, traffic was diverted and buildings within a 90 metre radius were evacuated.

The Secret Service, which was originally created to combat counterfeiting, reports that there were 1,856 arrests in U.S. counterfeiting cases in 1995, compared to 3,466 arrests this year, with 2,842 of these having ink jet print ers involved. Secret Service agent Patrick Sullivan says that counterfeiting used to take a great deal of skill, but no longer. It is no threat to the U.S. economy; the service says that there is $500 billion in circulation around the world, and only $139 million of it is counterfeit. However, the service does take it very seriously. Sullivan says that passing fake bills even accidentally is a felony that can mean fifteen years in prison. Assistant Special agent Rich ard C. Wadsworth says that Americans do not pay enough attention to the bills they use, mak ing it easier for counterfeiters. Some of the more notable flaws of counterfeit bills include an overly smooth texture, Jack of detail in the portraits, printed security threads instead of embedded ones, and watermarks without de tail. Counterfeiters typically pass fake bills to retailers, and the larger ones are deposited in banks. Bank tellers are probably the best at detecting fake money, aside from Treasury Department employees.
