It’s all about death, defence and deterrence by Morley Lymburner Several issues back I complained that the constant wearing of exterior armour is only teaching the criminal element where to target for maximum freedom. My prophecy (as some have called it) reached a new level with the news of the shoot- ing of Texas police officer Aubrey Hawkins on Christmas Eve. The 29-year-old Irving, Texas, officer came under a hail of bullets fired by a the death penalty is what awaits them when a cop and you get religion and 15 years of free group of determined escaped convicts. These caught. My only hope is those seven Texas room and board. Do you think that could be an criminals, now dubbed “The Texas Seven”, knew convicts don’t make it to Canada. Take a gun to option the “Texas Seven” have considered? the proper target. Autopsy results showed the a crime in Canada and their is no deterrent. Kill Think about it a bit... and conceal your armour. officer received six bullets to the head, four to has arm and only two to his concealed body armour. In my humble opinion this leaves no doubt as to the criminals intent to kill and not wound. When these guys are caught who will get the death penalty and who will get life. Prob- ably the guy who can convince the jury that his was one of the two bullets that hit the vest. Defence: “I aimed for the vest because I wanted to scare the officer... not kill him.” Prosecutor: “How did you know the officer was wearing a vest?” The police community is far too ready to broadcast all their weaknesses and tactics. It is time to take this as a wake up call. In Canada officers are routinely wearing exterior carriers that broadcast to everyone that the only real kill zone for cops is the head. The Texas officer shot so brutally was wearing a concealed vest and still died. Concealing armour is not a factor in his case but criminal knowledge as to effec- tive target acquisition is a big factor. Television programs that depict real life police work can be particularly damaging. By glamorizing loose lipped officers every citizen is exposed to tactics that should make the offic- er’s job easier and safer. This compromises the safety of every officer on the street. Even tight-lipped officers are too often vic- tims of their own imagined image. In the case of officer deaths it is not too far a leap of the imagination to say that some have an indestruct- ible attitude which can not envision their own mortality. The “good guys in the movies al- ways win” syndrome is subconsciously adopted. In such cases only two things can cure the malady. A near death experience or an actual death. In the former a better officer emerges in the latter a hero is buried. There is no way to second guess the ac- tions of the Texas officer and come out with anything productive. He was a victim of seven very determined criminals. He had no way of knowing what he was going to face when he answered that alarm call. The officers in his situation are always at a disadvantage. They never know what they are going to find and the criminal has the element of surprise to their advantage. When the criminal commits the crime they have thought very seriously about the con- sequences of screwing up. They have the op- portunity to plan for the eventuality of a cop showing up. If they carry a gun in Texas they have to think about the consequences of what they might encounter in an attempt to get away. Freedom can be theirs if they kill the officer but

As if the letter writ- ing campaign wasn’t enough, various lobby groups began to throw their support behind the effort as well. It was during this time that a story appeared in the November 1999 issue of Blue Line Maga- zine which caught Nazaroff’s attention. It was about a Durham officer who was asking his lo- cal MP to help him obtain better legislative pro- tection for police animals. After reading the ar- ticle, Nazaroff decided to give the officer, Dave Mounsteven, a call. “I said, ‘Look I don’t know who you are, but we’re doing the same thing,’” Nazaroff re- calls. “We sort of talked from there and decided to work together.” Soon after joining forces, the officers were asked to speak at a federal Justice Committee meeting in Ottawa. During the meeting, which was held last June, the officers related stories about the numerous police animals that have been injured and killed on the job. The two officers even related personal examples as they have both had canine partners injured in the line of duty. “We went there, Peter and myself, and told our own individual stories about what made us do this. We looked around the room and there were seasoned MPs in tears. Basically, after that day we got a commitment that it was a matter of ‘when’, not ‘if’, legislative changes were going to be made.” The two officers also explained why the need for better legislation is so crucial. “We have to make it as simple for the Crown to proceed as possible,” Mounsteven said. “Unless the legislation specifies police animals, it’s going to be difficult for the Crowns to proceed with the charge.” Mounsteven said he’s tired of seeing police animals take abuse from offenders, who plead guilty to more severe offences in an effort to have the lesser charge of cruelty to animals dropped. Both officers want assailants to be held accountable. “I’ve met with Crown attorneys and they’ve all said the same thing,” Mounsteven said. “They’d love to help us but if a person is willing to plead guilty to other charges, but not cruelty to animals, they can’t justify going to trail for the sake of an offence with a $500 fine.” With changes to the Criminal Code on the horizon, both officers say they have learned a lot from the whole experience. “I’ve learned that everything takes time,” February 2001 7 Blue Line Magazine Three new cities find no new problems by Morley Lymburner had amalgamated police struc- ices to raise the level and con- tures prior to the municipal sistency of certain municipal The New Year brought in a few changes in changes and any cost efficiencies functions. municipal organizations in Ontario and Que- due to this strategy had been long In the early 70’s the prov- bec.

Like Toronto all these municipalities already as the ideal method of administering certain serv- This two-tiered municipal structure was seen as a compromise between large municipal struc- tures and closer community control of munici- pal administration. In the case of Metropolitan Toronto, it was found early on that conflicts would be inevita- ble. One such conflict arose in expressways planned by the top level municipal structure, which diverted heavier traffic flows through neighbourhoods administered by the lower level municipal government. Policing, however, has not suffered the same problems under the two-tiered municipal struc- ture that other services experienced. With some notable exceptions, the need for a larger and consistent pattern of policing was readily rec- ognized. In the case of Metropolitan Toronto, with 16 police services of varying size and qual- ity, it was one of the first items on the amalga- mation list. The new City of Ottawa was born out of the old Regional Municipality of Ottawa- Carleton. It is the most recently amalgamated regional government which brought together 16 municipalities surrounding the nations capital region. Although the police service was created in January 1995, it did not have control over some municipalities within the region. The towns of Kanata and Vanier were policed on contract by the provincial police and were not moved over until June 1999. The new larger City of Ottawa will have a popu- lation of just over 800,000 people and take in 2,885 square kilometres. The Ottawa Police Service will consist of just over 1,500 officers and civilian staff. Sources indicate that there will be little tran- sitional problems for the agency other than get- ting a new crest design. The police service will streamline its structure from 16 districts at present to only six districts. The only other problem to overcome will be the renaming of 117 streets, which are pres- ently duplicated within the new 911 emergency exchange. This function will be reportedly com- plete by the end of this year. For further information call 613-236-1222. One challenge that will not have to be met for the new City of Hamilton will be the crest design. Last June, a committee determined the appropriate design for the new police service and began a process of preparing letter heads, shoulder patches, door decals and court docu- ments.

February 2001 8 Blue Line Magazine Hamilton police sources indicate that pres- ently more than 240 forms have been revamped with the new crest and identity name change from Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police. In addition to shoulder patch changes, officers will be issued new metal chest badges and their head- gear will sport a new cloth stitched badge in place of the old metal one. The price tag for these changes came to around $220,000, a fig- ure they had planned for in last year’s budget. The new Hamilton Police Service will con- sist of 1,200 officers and staff and encompass a population of around 600,000 people. The new City of Hamilton will engulf the old munici- palities of Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown and Ancaster with a combined area of 1,138 square kilometres. For further information call 905 546-4901. The new City of Montreal will now en- compass the entire island of Montreal. This area was previously policed by up to 32 police agencies and was amalgamated into the Mon- treal Urban Community Police in 1972. Some other functions were also amalgamated but not to the extent of policing. Although the municipal amalgamation is not anticipated to make any difference in policing, Montreal police officials at their media rela- tions department refused to speak about the subject with Blue Line Magazine. Statistics Canada numbers from 1997 place the MUC at just under 4,000 officers.

Police board toughens strip search policy

The Toronto Police Service is now required to provide quarterly reports on strip searches. The new policy was a reaction from the Police Services Board last December to Chief Julian Fantino’s written request to “terminate” the policy of studying data on strip searches conducted by police officers. Fantino argued that gathering data for the police board to study is too expensive and labour-intensive. He also said the study of the reports would not benefit the public or police. However, while accepting the board’s decision without resistance, he suggested using improved technology for the data gathering would simplify the process. Fantino estimated the data gathering could cost an extra $160,000 a year. Police association president Craig Bromell said he would take up the cause which Fantino had left and attempt to determine if the strip-search data- gathering can be fought in court. From the 1,430 strip searches conducted between Aug. 1 to Sept. 11, which was equivalent to 26 per cent of arrests, only 53 searches yielded evidence or weapons.

Barkley has been a member of the Toronto Police Service for the past 14 years. During this time he has had a strong interest and desire to investigate auto related crimes. On June 30, 1997, Barkley’s dream and ef- forts were realized when he was accepted into the Auto Squad. Barkley wasted no time in start- ing a full out war on auto theft on different fronts. At that time the chief of police tasked the auto squad with reducing auto theft by 25 per cent. Barkley took the leadership role in the auto squad and instituted different initiatives to work towards that goal.

The goal is to gather information to help researchers flesh out what the problems are. “And that’s not all,” adds Seguin. “Once we have completed all of the questionnaires and focus groups, we plan to conduct individual in- depth interviews with senior management at the service. Our goal is to cover all of the bases - we want to know everything there is to know about the patrol officer function and the paper- work they have to deal with.” Preliminary results from the research indi- cate that during most shifts officers spent little time in free or “clear” patrol. Instead, most of the officers’ time was spent in responding to calls - and then trying to fit in the paperwork. Much of the paperwork that needed to be completed involved follow-up to calls from previous shifts and investigations that are on- going - sometimes for many months or even years. Consequently, with new calls and inves- tigations coming in all the time and generating their own paperwork, the mountain of paper is growing exponentially and patrol officers are indeed struggling to manage it all. One of the patrol officers who was observed in the research reported that “a lot of patrol officers now take paperwork home to work on it, or come in on their days off just to get it out of the way.” The patrol workload study is representa- tive of a unique partnership between the North Bay Police Service and the criminal justice pro- gram at Nipissing University. “I suppose in the beginning it was a leap of faith taking on something like this - letting a group of university researchers come in and have free reign to analyse and report on what we do,” say Berrigan. “After all, I could fall on my own sword here. They could end up slam- ming the way we perform. But it is more im- portant to know if there are problems so that we can take the necessary steps to fix them.” The working group is aiming to have a final report on the research completed this month. “We’re interested in what other police serv- ices are doing (about) this problem,” Seguin said. “We’d like to compare notes to see if there aren’t some common solutions we could all make use of.”

Our image is a magnet to companies,” says Pal. Flynn agrees. “To associate ourselves with a positive cause such as policing, shows we are involved with the community and see safety and crime prevention as a number one priority. We don’t have an awful lot of opportunities to advertise, nor do we need them, but to associate ourselves with the police department in our area is a great way for us to show our community our dedica- tion to public safety.” Once you find an agency that may be inter- ested in doing business with police, meet with their creative team or account executives to talk about possible programs they may be inter- ested in working on. Again, keep in mind projects that would be creatively challenging and things that may not be as attractive to your regular corporate sponsors. Decide on a couple of projects for the year, and try different things like television, radio and print. Print campaigns don’t have to be limited to advertising. Remem- ber, posters, brochures, billboards and bus ad- vertising all fall within the realm of print. Work closely with the agency to determine who your target audience is - meaning who you want to get the message out to, and the best way to reach that audience. What you may think is the best way, may not necessarily be true. Leave it to the experts to make the final deci- sion.

The crest of the Halifax Regional Police was unveiled in 1998 during Police Week. The crest is dark blue and contains a maple leaf, a light house and the crest of Nova Scotia. The words “Halifax Regional Police” standout in grey text against the blue backdrop. While Pal admits she was pleased with the overwhelming support the force’s new logo re- ceived, her greatest day as a civilian with the regional force is yet to come. “That will be when we solve the Jason McCullough homicide,” she said. The case of Jason McCullough, like all murders, is a tragic one. The 19-year-old was found fatally wounded on August 28, 1999. Police believe the teen, who was discovered along a well-known short-cut between two buildings in Dartmouth, was the victim of a random act of violence. “The only way, we said from the very be- ginning, to solve that homicide was going to be with help from the public,” said Pal. “I was able to handle the media relations from the very beginning. “We still haven’t made an arrest in that case and the day that we make an arrest will be as satisfying to me as it will be to our major crime investigators.” Part of what makes Pal so valuable to the police service, is her understanding of the me- dia.

Guelph cops get new leadership from familiar face

Police officers in Guelph are under the guidance of a new police chief who isn’t so new to the job. The lengthy process of finding candidates for the position of top-cop was avoided as Rob Davis, the former deputy chief, was appointed by Chief Davis the Guelph Police Serv- ices Board in December. A survey of 27 community groups and 82 police service members indicated that most people were not willing to wait until someone could be brought in from the out- side, said board chair Gary Nadalin. Nadalin praised Davis for his strong ad- ministrative skills, extensive operational ex- perience, proven leadership abilities and commitment to the strategic direction and goals of the Guelph Police Service. Davis, 48, had been the acting chief since Lenna Bradburn left the position on Nov. 1 after six years at the helm. Davis began his career with the Guelph Police Service in 1971 as a front-line officer. Since joining the force he has held the ranks of constable, sergeant, inspector and deputy chief. A native of Guelph, Davis has been ac- tively involved in several local organizations and activities, including the United Way, Sertoma Club, Alzheimer’s Society and Big Brothers. Recently, the Lion’s Club Interna- tional presented him with its highest award in recognition of his contributions to the com- munity. Davis said his goals include improving teamwork and morale at the police service. “We have spent a considerable amount of time developing our strategic vision and goals and now we must put these plans into practice.”

Another advantage Hogan feels the trailer has over conventional methods, is that the images pro- jected on-screen can fire back at an officer. “Obviously we can’t do that safely on a live fire range because we would be losing instructors rather quickly,” Hogan said with a chuckle. The simulator also provides officers in training with instant feedback on their vulnerabilities and any specific tactics they could or should have used. Another aspect which Hogan liked was the “split screen”, in which a camera is focused on the participants taking part in the training, as well as on the scenario they are dealing with. This allows a person to look at their performance on a compu- ter screen in real-time or analyze it afterwards to see their reactions to each scenario. This feature allows a realistic review of what that officer was doing and how they reacted.

The Loading Procedure Illustrated Once the PROVE procedure is ingrained into the handling of any firearm, it can then be integrated into the loading procedure of the one you handle the most. There should always be a logical order to the loading of your duty sidearm. The correct loading procedure should also closely duplicate the same movements required to perform an emergency reload.

Due to For further details go to BlueLinks at www.blueline.ca the tremendous pressures that expel a bullet out the barrel, any obstruction in the barrel does not allow aerodynamic pressure in front of the bullet to be safely released out the muzzle.

Those circumstances are: (1) the conditions ordinarily required to obtain a search warrant must be present; (i.e. rea- sonable and probable grounds to believe that contraband is on the premises) and; (2) exigent circumstances must exist which make it impracticable to obtain a search warrant. The CDSA does not define “exigent circum- stances”. Some cases from the Supreme Court of Canada have defined the term as including safety concerns and “an imminent danger of the loss,

The recidivism rate for participants in the Restorative Resolutions Project in Winnipeg was significantly lower than for those on pro- bation. In the first comparison group, the re- cidivism rates for the probationers was based upon one-year post-program recidivism. Re- cidivism for restorative resolution clients was 5.3 per cent, compared to 16.1 per cent of the comparison group. In the second comparison group, recidivism rates were based upon in-program failures while on probation. Recidivism rates for restorative resolution clients was 16.7 per cent, compared to 43.7 per cent for the comparison group. The results clearly show offenders super- vised by restorative resolution had lower re- cidivism rates compared to offenders exposed to traditional correctional supervision and pro- bation services. Furthermore, after two years, only 11.5 per cent of the restorative resolution male offend- ers were convicted of an offence resulting in a custodial disposition compared to 33 per cent of the inmate control group. There are many examples of restorative jus- tice practices working exceptionally well in many communities. It is not the panacea we are always looking for. It does, however, deserve a larger place in our justice system.

Changing the perspectives of cops and kids by Blair McQuillan

Gerry Cleveland is not the kind of man to shy away from a problem. When Cleveland, a Toronto school princi- pal and former police officer, learned during a routine safety audit that many students in his former school were afraid of, or felt intimidated by the police, he decided to do something about it. “That’s a pretty hard thing to hear because you sort of expect police are the good guys,” said Cleveland, who was a police officer in To- ronto and Peel Region for 10 years. “It was one of those classic problem solving situations where I said to the kids, ‘Okay, what are you going to do about it?’” Cleveland sat down with a group of stu- dents and began brainstorming. A number of suggestions as to how the youths could build bridges with the police in their community were made and rejected. Finally, the idea of talking directly to police officers was put forward. With a little more input from the students in the group and a call to the Ontario Police College, ALL TOGETHER: Gerry Cleveland (left) poses with officers and students in Toronto. the Changing Perspectives program was born.

Students arrive at the college on who enter the program come from cultures “They don’t like cops, but they come out of the evening prior to the start of the conference. By the time they make their arrival, the stu- dents, who range in age from 16 to 20 and come from a variety of cultural backgrounds, have al- ready scripted, planned and rehearsed about five Westervelt College short plays which they will perform in front of the class of up to 390 recruits. Excellence in Education Since 1885 “It’s a very tightly scripted performance,” said Cleveland, the principal of alternative pro- grams for the Toronto District School Board. The five performances include a car stop in- volving an officer who makes racist comments, a strip search in public and a presentation on how the body language of an individual from another culture could be misinterpreted as hostile.

Even when circumstances later permit a regular sched- ule, it may be difficult to re-establish a good sleep schedule. Such people may develop mood changes, cognitive difficulties, and a tendency for peptic ulcers. Insomnia is common.

How Are These Disorders Diagnosed? In addition to a thorough clincial history, the sleep specialist may request an all-night polysomnograph, requiring the patient to sleep at the lab while equipment records the different stages of sleep which are experienced. This same equipment may be used during the daytime for a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), in which the patient is given opportu- nities to nap and the time needed to fall asleep is measured. Whether or not the patient enters REM sleep early is also recorded.

Sleep/Wake Disorders Canada (SWDC) is a registered charitable organization devoted to helping people suffering from sleep/wake disorders. SWDC provides literature, films and tapes in several languages and, through its chapters and contact representatives, encourages the development of self-help groups across the country.

Police in Washington, D.C., will soon have access to a 24-hour “tactical operations com- mand centre” that can collect crime data in real- time, scour it for patterns and statistics and then shoot it back to officers on the beat almost immediately. The centre will be especially helpful now that the city’s police department has put 250 extra officers on the streets. Previously, crime data and trends were re- layed during briefings at roll calls, a method which was not particularly thorough. The new centre will disseminate crime re- ports to officers within an hour after a crime is committed and will also be used to direct offic- ers to serious incidents as they are occurring, by detailing locations of emergency calls via electronic maps, highlighting the crime history of a particular location and listing possible sus- pects in the case. For example, the centre can alert an officer about to enter a residence as to whether anyone in the house has been arrested before, or has a warrant out for their arrest and whether there is a likelihood of firearms being on the premises. The centre will not be fully operational for several months. U.S. sees threat of information warfare by Washington Times

The United States is becoming increasingly vulnerable to information warfare as the nation’s reliance on technology grows, officials warn. Hostile governments, guerilla groups and criminal cartels could launch surprise digital at- tacks designed to knock out critical systems such as telecommunications, power grids, and financial networks. Malicious groups “are doing reconnaissance today on our networks, mapping them, looking for vulnerabilities,” says Richard Clarke, the top aide to President Bill Clinton on infrastruc- ture protection and counter-terrorism. Hostile parties could easily unleash large- scale versions of the distributed denial-of-serv- ice attacks that brought down leading web sites such as e-Bay and Amazon.com last February, Clarke says. The National Security Council recently hosted a conference where attendees discussed ways to address the threat of information war- fare, such as developing a rapid response sys- tem and improving cooperation between gov- ernment and the private sector. The CIA and other intelligence groups have released a report saying that the nation’s en- emies are more likely to launch a cyber-attack or threaten the use of biological or nuclear arms than to attempt traditional combat with the U.S. military.

Thou- sands of law enforcement officers have at- tended the trade show since it began in 1997 and every year it seems we receive a greater number of positive comments from those in attendance. “This show has really grown during the past five years and it will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future.” A number of exhibitors will once again be in attendance at the show, which will be held be- tween April 24 and 25, to display a vast array of products and services. During past shows, members of the law enforcement community have had the oppor- tunity to view and test products and services including motorcycles, infrared camera units, duty belts, cruisers, holsters, flotation gear, pens, ammunition, canine body armour, batons, Internet connection services, blunt trauma vests and sunglasses. “This year promises to be no different,” Rudy said. “With the wide range of exhibitors who attend the show, officers will be able to find a product or piece of equipment of interest regardless of the agency they serve, or rank they hold.” The Canadian Police Research Centre will also host a special display dubbed “Emerging Technology.” This section of the show is re- served for companies displaying innovative tech- nology which could some day be used by the law enforcement community. “The Canadian Police Research Centre is looking forward to being part of Response 2001,” said John Arnold CPRC’s chief scien- tist. “We have received a lot of positive feed- back from officers in the past and we always welcome the opportunity to allow the law en- forcement community to share their thoughts with us regarding technology which is being developed for their use.” In addition to these features, Response 2001 will also host the Blue Line Symposium. The symposium for this year offers two instruc- tional courses which cover Investigative Inter- viewing Techniques and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. Both courses run over two days and seat- ing is reserved on a first-come, first serve ba- sis.
