BACKROUNDI Pram the attached petition and correspondence it is abvious the Citissene and band counoil of the Sydney Reserve arc not satisfied with its present Police protection. Sydney Reserve is in the unique position of being in the einfines of the City of Sydney and, as outlined In the attached letter from inspector T.M. Oardiner, P.C.M.P., dated September 3.0, 2969 and a follow up letter of October 14 advising the insp. re; confirmation from Headquarters in Halifax, It is suggested that policing of the Sydney Reserve should be the responsibility of the City of Sydney. The City of Sydney Feels, and rightly so , in the light of municipal grants paid by the Province that no tax base exists for the hiring of extra personnel to pollee the Sydney Reserve; also, no agreement exists for police protection between Indian Affairs Smash and the City of Sydney. The real situation, therefore, is no policing on the Sydney reserve; this reality is the camera of our people and my council and results in the petition and correspondence of this proposal. Blue circular 034 dated April 28, 1969 in itself contains the &newer to our problem. The philosophy of the circular meets the reel problem; however, the mechanics of impementation seem tI1 have not too well though. odt as seen by the non-appr v ofe3 requ st of June 18, 1969.
