Some attitude adjustment toward Auxiliary members may be in order By Morley Ly mburner While kimmingthenewswire Iranacro s an article about arming auxiliary officers. The general trend of the article was against the oncept of arming them becau e "Auxiliary offi er are civilian and citizen hould not be trained on prohibited weapon ." The article al 0 complained that Auxiliary members of the f< rce are n 1 p ycho logically screened nor a fully trained as regular member and therefore hould n t be routinely armed . What was baming me was ... why are they not up to a tandard that would give the parent police for e faith in their ability to carry a firearm? I found the critici m for not arming the om er a far more negative reflection on that a cncy ' ability to recruit and train their own member than an adequate e 'planation in supp rt of their argument. After all. the e auxiliary mcmber are wearing the arne uniform and, while working with a regular member, hold almost the arne authority. They mo t certainly accept the arne risks as the regular member but d not e pect to get paid or receive the benefit of a regular member. Forthe most part auxiliary or re erve member are good hard-working citizen who simply care enough about their community and

police service that they are willing to sacrifice a few of their off-hours to help. Sure it's a little adventure forthem and for the most part they do not care to do the task on a full time basis. (I would dare ay this attitude alone would put them in the category of not only mentally sane but very much up for the task as well.) I have other thoughts on thi ubject which I think many police forces should think seriouslyabout. . . I fyou put a person on the street wearing the arne uniform that crooks like to hoot at you had better be prepared to ensure they can protect themselves accordingly. If not from a moral stand point then at least on the vicariou liability side of the issue. " If you don't think there are far more citizens out there who know how to use weaponry which is far more sophisticated than the average police officer's you had better wake up. Canada has a con iderably larger armed forces per onnel, past and present, trained in weaponry that would put a police officer's pistol training to shame. In addition these ex-military people are aggressively trained to mentally handle the taking ofa human life. imply put Canadian police officer are trained to keep the peace and do not receive this type of training. If a police officer approaches most incidents feeling he/she is

better trained and equipped than the per on I behind every door they may get their name tf placed on a plaque in Ottawa in the back alley of the Parliament Building. . . If a police agency is worried about the mental or intellectual level of the people they • put in their uniform then the problem is their to rectify. . . Justbecau eauxiliaryofficerscarry a we(lpon on patrol does not mean they carry it home with them . It is uptothe parent police force to secure the weapons. . . One huge advantage to having a qualified armed partner on patrol is that it i on more person whom the regular member does not have to worry as much about in a dangerou situation. . . From the moment officers are eligible for a pension, no matter how small. they are working for less money. Thi s is simple arithmetic and common en e. For example if after 25 years service you are eligible for a 40% pension you are now working for 40% less money. That money is the officer's if he works or not. This simple factor is enough rea on for many well trained and experienced officer to leave for another job and before they have lost their enthu iasm for the policing profe ion itself. The e are the perfect persons to actively recruit for your auxiliary member . They are trai ned, qualified and known . Go get them! If the real problem is labour is ues (and I know it is) then deal with it. I have not met very many auxiliary officers who really want to take away a police officer'sjob for no pay at all. I do not think there is much risk here at all. It is the regular members who are really in the driver's eat on thi issue. Ju t remember if you are going to have uniformed police officers -auxiliary or otherwise - then give them authority A D protection. During my 25 years in policing I have met very many fine auxiliary and reserve officer. They have been at least as dedicated and enthuia tic as any regular member. The knowledge they brought to me from their other life came in handy on many occasions: - a locksmith when an elderly woman locked hersel f out of her hou e; - a registered nur e at the cene of one of my more serious collisions; - a carpenter who fixeq the door of an apartment after a drug raid on the wrong hou e; - a heavy equipment operator who returned a bulldozer that was set in motion by vandals; - an ex-mil itary firearms trainer who laught me more about handling my gun then our police trainers were then permitted; - an investigator for Revenue anada when I needed some tax advise; - a member who was a martial art instructor who covered my butt real good at a bar fight with six rowdies. (We arrested them all!); - a lady who made some of the nicest cookies leer tasted (we called her Cookie!) When working with me an Auxiliary member never left unhappy nor unappreciated ... and they never bought the coffee.

Taking care of small crimes can solve big problems By David Frum - Toronto Sun

NEW YORK- This is acity of communities in ways that non-New Yorkers - who notice only its vastness - often find difficult to understand. Evelyn Alvarez, owner of the Dutch Girl cleaners on upper Park Avenue was a prominent local character. The brutal murder of this kindly old lady in the early morning hours of June II touched offan outburst of mass grief. That morning, Alvarez opened her store shortly after 6 a.m., as she usually did. She was attacked, robbed and beaten to death on the sidewalk in front of her own window. It's a horrible story - made a little less horrible by the amazing news that the ew York police caught the killer within 36 hours. How? That's a story thattell s us something encouraging about the renaissance of New York under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. One of the very first decisions Giuliani made upon taking office in 1994 was that New York's police would no longerturn a blind eye to petty crime and disorderly behavior. If you urinated on the street or yelled at a woman walking up Broadway during the administration of Mayor David Dinkins, the police would more or less ignore you: they were supposed to be chasing serious criminals, the logic ran, not minor hoodlums. Giuliani decided this tolerance of urban mayhem must stop. His police

would enforce all the laws. And so, when one John J. Royster a 22year-old with no previous criminal record jumped a subway turnstile on March 26 this year, he was arrested and fingerprinted . Which is how it was that John J. Royster's fingerprints happened to be in the computer records of the New York Police Department, where they were matched against fingerprints taken from the scene of Alvarez's killing. The police tracked Royster down the next evening. He confessed to three other horrific crimes: the beating and attempted rape of a woman jogger in Central Park on June 4, the beating of a woman walking on East 63rd the following day and the rape and beating of a woman in the town of Yonkers on June 7th. Two months before this one-man crime wave Royster had been fired from ajob because of his seething hostility toward hi s customers, especially women. He had previously been discharged from the Navy for psychiatric reasons. Had the New York police winked at that March 26 turnstile jump, all four of Royster's crimes would likely have gone unsolved. As it is, he will now be prosecuted and could soon face New York's newly reinstated death penalty. It's not a happy ending, but it is justice: something crime-plagued New York once saw too little of.

And thanks to the effective administration of justice, New York is once more becoming a good place to li ve. Crime rates have plunged by more than 30%in MayorGiuliani's two years in office. On a weekend visit, this one-time ew Yorker was startled by how much pleasanter the city seemed. The maniacs who used to haunt Upper West Side streets have vanished. So have the sq ueegee men and the panhandlers/muggers who accosted women and old people as they exited cash machines. The weird refuse. filthy undergarments, old bedding, tin cans that used to defile the parks have been cleaned up. New York Times correspondent John Tierney points out there are more than 150 U.S. cities with populations greater than 109.000. New York is now the 132nd most dangerous of them, tied with Boise. Idaho. Meanwhile. our Canadian cities are heading in completely the opposite direction. Toronto. in particular. seems to have adopted the disastrous policing policies of pre-Giuliani New York, laughing offpetty crime and shrugging its shoulders at dirt, graffiti and disorder. Those of us on the Canadian right are often taunted for our interest in adopting the policies that have strengthened the U.S. economy. What on earth are we to make of those on the Canadian left who seem determined to adopt the policies that have wrecked U.S. cities?

A book that teaches cops how to "catch 'em on the fly" Title: Tacticsfor Criminal Patrol A uthor: Charles Remsberg Publisher: Calibre Press Reviewed by: Blair McQuillan Before you decide to buy a copy of Tactics for Criminal Patrol, the latest offering from Calibre Press, you have to determine how dedicated you are to your chosen profession. If you most commonly spend your patrol hours in your cruiser drinking coffee and listening to the radio, you should keep your money in your pocket as you pass the book store and use it to purchase a nice comfortable backrest for your car. However, if you are aggressive about enforcing the law, pro-active in your approach to police work and deem searchand-seizure laws to be significant tools of your trade, Tacticsfor Criminal Patrol is one book you cannot afford to overlook. Following on the heels of Street Survival and The Tactical Edge, author Charles Remsberg has puttogether a comprehensive guide to vehicle stops, drug recovery and officer survival. The core concept of criminal patrol states "that vehicle stops are golden opportunities for unique field investigations which, with the right volume of contacts, the right knowledge and creativity, and the right approach, can lead to major felony arrests." Tactics for Criminal Patrol caters to the front-line officer who is determined to take prisoners in the war against traffickers who haul contraband and weapons. This well written and visually comprehensive guide illustrates successful tactics, procedures and strategies to follow and use while conducting criminal patrol. During the course of the book, the reader will cover everything from interpreting the cues of contraband concealment, to gaining the position of advantage and from forming probable cause, to combating courtroom questions. In addition, the reader will gain a greater insight into how to move beyond the initial road ide bust and use information which results from the arrest ofa trafficker to catch assailants who have their feet firmly planted higher up on the criminal ladder. The book also builds on the patrol skills of "observation, conversation and tactical thinking." Observation skills are honed in the initial chapter of the book. The reader is given tips on how to spot possible couriers, the vehicles which are favoured by this group and "curiosity ticklers" which help to identify vehicles carrying contraband. The book becomes a fascinating read as the habits of drug couriers and the telltale signs of

a courier vehicle are explained. The "curiosity ticklers" alone cover 12 pages of text and are supported by photos taken during actual busts. The in-depth explanations and visual aids give the reader a detailed picture as to what to look for while conducting criminal patrol. Some of these "ticklers" include the presence, or absence, of dirt on various parts of a vehicle, a driver who appears to be nervous or self-conscious and the presence of multiple deodorants in a vehicle. These and other visual cues can be used to help detect a drug courier and make a large-scale bust. As the book progresses, the reader gains insight as to how to generate a rapport with the occupants of a vehicle, conduct a sensory patdown and gain consent to search through a psychological setup. The aspect of gaining rapport is the essential aspect of this chapter as it outlines the verbal tactics which will ease the motorist into a relaxed state thus making it easier to learn more through the course of the sensory pat-down and gain a consent, or form probable cause to conduct a search. The book builds on the skills used to detect the vehicles used for trafficking and gives the reader some insight as to how to find more contraband clues through observation and con-

versation. "People loosen up and talk most easily to those they consider friendly, understanding, trustworthy, helpful and nonthreatening. Think of Columbo on TV: affable, laid back, not too sharp, chatty, nosy but 'undiscerning' cop seeming to have no interest or talent for detecting anything serious," the book states. "By deliberately projecting that personality, apparently just trying to make small talk while you're hanging a ticket, you disarm guilty parties psychologically and encourage overconfidence on their part. This, in fact, suckers them right into conversational traps you're setting up." It is important to keep in mind that the topics previously mentioned are not the only ones covered in Tacticsfor Criminal Patrol and that most themes run throughout the context of the book, as they build on each other during the course ofa criminal stop and subsequent investigation. Various survival tactics, for example, are exam ined in every chapter of the book. As the initial stop turns into an investigation and possible bust, Tacticsfor Criminal Patrol gives tips on how to approach a vehicle given the location of the stop, how to gain a position of advantage and defend against attacks by motorists. In addition, the book outlines cues which indicate when an attack is imminent, as well as, the times when an officer is most at ease and most likely to be taken by surprise . The book also covers many legal advantages and pitfalls which must be kept in mind as the vehicle stop progresses from a search and seizure to a subsequent arrest and trial. The book outlines methods and skills which will ultimately maxim ize field operations and report writing skills, in order to minimize arguments from a defence attorney once the case goes to trial. Overall, Tactics for Criminal Patrol is a comprehensive guide to vehicle stops, drug detection and survival. Real life accounts of major busts, tactical mistakes and tips from peers. help to complete the book by lending credibility to the fact that the theory behind criminal patrol is an effective weapon in the war against traffickers. Calibre Press and Charles Remsberg have empowered officers of the law by giving them a guide to the seedy underworld of drug trafficking and pinpointed the weaknesses within their operations. All that is left is for you to take them off the streets of your community.

Consultation is key to police amalgamation process

Ph otography - Michael Houstoll

By Patrie!. Mc affery

ommunication. consultation and a lot of committee these are key elements driving the process of change at the Otta\\a- arleton Regional Police ervice. It is a proces that began on January I, 1995 when the former Gloucester. epean and Ottawa Police Services came together under Bi II 143 to create one regional organilation.And while the target date for completion is January I, 1997 it \~ill take more than legi 'Iation to trul y amalgamate three former police services. It will take communication and team\~ork to build upon the proud past of each agency and create a bright future. malgamation repre ents a major change for policing in the region involving the integration of some 830 police officers and 350 civilians, hundredsofvolunteer and approximately 160 specialty ections. Despite the monumental change at hand and significant is ue being faced, the business of providing quality ervice has remained a top priority . rhis year, the Ottawa- arleton Regional Police ' ervice e'pect to handle 270,000 call for sen icc. ne of the reason for the relatively moth tranition to date is because member have been involved in the process of change from the start. I he plan ha been to use the malgllmation proce ·s a' a platform for bui Id-

ing upon existing strengths, seizing opportunities and mitigating the weaknesses. From the onset, the hief and Executive made a commitment that any change would be engineered through the actual ervice provider. After all. who knows better than the people actually doing the job. While management still makes the final decision, those working within the system. including the clients, have the opportunity to express what form thechangeshould take. To date, thi s basic axiom has made good busines sense. Naturally, several critical i sues had to be considered before undcrtaking a change of thi s magnitude. "Our fir t order of bu iness was to set up a team that \~ould over ee the amalgamation process:' explains Chief of Police Brian Ford . "This team came together in May, 1995 and was given four key areas of responsibility: stratcgic planning, developing a new service delivery model around community policing. communication and consultation, and monitoring the amalgamation process in light of legi lative requirements." Another equally important group was al 0 e tablished : an employee-based advisory committee with representatives from across the Ottawa-Carleton Police. Thi 21 member group has been active in seeking member input on a number of important issues. Thi s committee is expected to identify issues and bring forward the concerns of the membership as well as provide direction. They arc also expected to keep their colleagues up-to-date on activities

and issues being discussed. "We act as a link between the membership and the Organizational Change Project Team. We talk with members to find out their opinions on issues related to amalgamation and seek their suggestions:' says Acting ergeant Bruce Watt who chairs the emplOyee group. For instance, this committee played an integral role in choosing a core value for the new organization - a king all members for a concise sentence that would answer the que tion, "What i the central belief about our service?" In response, 43°" of members cast ballots foroneoffour suggestions and chose "" 'orking together for a afer community". Thi . simple statement is no\~ a governing tenant ofho\~ the new organization does busines . helping guide member in their daily decision-making. fhis common value is hared by e~er)one and empha izes the Ottawa-Carleton police' commitment to enhancing strategic partnerships \\ ith the community. Other examples of successful con ultation with members is the monthly publication of an employee newsletter. This proposal was tabled by one committee \~hich recognized that the member hip had concerns about the existing level of communication. This newsletta was named "The Broadcast" and has been a u eful tool in keeping staff abreast of current events. Likewise the ne\\ly-formed "Chiefs Message Line" which i a weekly information line. has proved to be a valuable vehicle for high ighting more immediate is ue . Both of these tools are

managed by a rull-time civilian communications expert. Even though most committees are still in the proce s or refining their final products (e.g. rad io s) stem. nel" service del iver; model around problem-oriented policing. district mapping etc), everal other committees have already achieved remarkable employee driven re ults. Thi include those member who designed the new houlder fl ash. hat badge. and cruiser markings. delivered the pistol transition program as well as those committee members who helped evaluate the needs and tender ror the voice-mai l telephone system. Together, or in isolation. these all stand out as remarkable examp les or emp loyee empowerment especially since most committee members are volunteers who mu t sti ll attend to the day-to-da) policing responsibilitie.

Clothing and Equipment Committee One empl oyee group that has shone particularl) wcll was the Clothi ng and Equipmcnt Committee. The success or this Committec i symptomatic of the organizational mind-set or thi nell police service and a walk through its processe ' is quite enlightening. This ten-person committee is composed or a wide range of uniformed ranks, including represen tation rrom the Ottawa-Carleton Regiona l Police Association. Early on they decided upon four criteria which would dictate all clothing and equipment purchases. Ranked by ordcr orimportance these are - officer afety. comrort in th e field, durability and co t. Interestingly, it was not necessary to trade .----

orr one criteria to satisry another. This commit- r------------------, tee was able to harmonize all the criteria and still recommend a product that achieved their objectives at a cost per item that I\as t) pically less expensive than exi ting equipment. The con table in the field wearsan identical unirorm as the Chier or police with on ly minor alterations to satisry the need orspecialty units such as Tactical. By working with a clothing manuracturer who assisted them with design and specifications. they were able to go to tender with a wel l thought out plan. By conducting internal surveys. which garnered a 60% return rate. the committee was able to gauge the membership's views. The navy coloured unirorm is more reminiscent or some specialt} units such as tactical, but is sharp and crisp. When they first appeared, the Ottawa Citizen ran a rull page article in the rashion section entitled "Natty in avy". Like them, the officers have given this new look a thumbs up. It is interesting to note that appearance wasn't even part orthe Regional Clothing Stairmaster· Climbers & Committee's criteria. For them this unirorm Recumbent Bikes just made good business sense.

The Clothing and Equipment ommittee has been recon tituted now that their principal task has beert succe ru lly completed.

Th e York Regional Police, "Chief's Own Pipes and Dru ms," and "Chief's Ceremonial V nit, "were honollred to be invitedto perfo rm at th e Vnited States National Law Ellfo rcement Officers Memorial, Washingtoll D.C. 0 11 May 12 to J6th. Th eir trip was marked with many highlights, triblltes, and several eA1remely emotiollal moments. Th ese emotiollal moments have been th e catalystfo r Pipe Major Bob Wh itmall to expressfor hisgrollp their experiences and thollghts to Bille Line Magazille's readers. By Bob Whitmall Policing is one of those professions where bonds are formed not only individually but organizationally. These are both overtly visual and clear or come subconsciously. One experiences this phenomenon only too clearly when invited to participate with a gathering of officers from many diverse cultures. varied interests, and departments; while at the same time meeting for a common purpose of honouring our fallen men and women who have laid down their lives for the safety of others in their communities. During the three National Memorial Services attended by our group we were constantly reminded of the fo llowing statistics; - each year l out of every 9 officers is assaulted, - l out of every 25 officers is injured in the line of duty, - on average I police officer is killed somewhere in America every 52 hours. While walking in and around the National Law Enforcement Memorial, atJudiciary Square it was obvious that this is a very special place. People are surrounded by peace and tranquilly, well manicured trees and flower beds, with a

reflecting pool to relax the soul. Loved ones were visiting those persons special to them, garnering strength, love, and solace from the marble walls bearing the names of over 14.000 courageous officers that gave their lives. To see loved ones tracinga name ofa fallen officer tears at the heart; to see wreaths, flowers and letters left in remembrance ofa visit draws tears to the eyes. 1995 saw a further 174 law en forcementofficers give their Iives, their deaths not in vain, as they will be remembered as heros at the National Law Enforcement Memorial.

Reflections on the Canadian experience I thought back to my visits to our own ational Law Enforcement Memorial in Ottawa, and unfortunately I questioned several aspects of it. My collection of thoughts in no way is designed to tind fault with the effort and work done to date by many dedicated and responsible persons to memorialize and honour ollr fallen officers. It is my fervent hope that my thoughts may be the motivation to look at our memorial site and service from a different perspective. We may have something to learn from the American way of organization and presentation. Do we provide quiet, honollred ground to reflect or contemplate times past with our fallen

officers? Is this accomplished at the rear receiving area and parking lot of the parliament buildings? Our plaque with names engraved so grandly and ceremoniously lying at ground surface so near to the travelled area of the parking lot, presents a danger to those standing in front to pay their respects. Weather and the elements. together with road grime splashing from the parking lot as vehicles motor by in winter make me ask questions! Or was this location a secondary thought from politicians to appease the police profession? I understand thatthe Canadian Police Association in conjunction with the Canadian Chiefs of Police Association have now taken on the responsibility of hosting. and coordinating the 1996 National Police Memorial Service. As an officer of over 30 years in the policing profession I trust that the thrust of the service w ill be directed more to those of survivors of deceased officers. Let's recognize the need to include the deceased officers surviving family members at our service. Using it as a political forum on ly debases the memory of the fallen officers. Offer support to surviving families. Provide the opportunity for these people to attend the ation's Capitol by having a planned program of events along with support group meetings which they can attend. Through this initia-

Address of Chief Bryan Couseneau 1996 United States National Pipe Band March As a police officer with 30 years service, I have unfortunately had the misfortune of losing several of my colleagues on the job. As I reflect on those sad occasions, it occurs to me that dying is the easy part. I say this not to diminish the tremendous sacrifice made by those who have fallen but to emphasize the terrible grief and hardship experienced by those of us who are left behind. It is difficult to describe the profound sense of shock and sadness that ripples through the police community when we lose one of our own. Nothing causes us more anguish than finding a co-worker slain in the street or having to inform a spouse that their husband or wife is not coming home. However, our sadness is but a fraction of what must be endured by the surviving families. The loss of a mate or parent creates a terrible emptiness in the lives offamily members. The spouses of police officers who have been lost are particularly burdened with the responsibility of planning a funeral, helping their children cope with their grief and making many major life decisions at a time when they feel the least equipped to do so. There is no que tion that the death of a beloved family memberora valued co-worker is

one of the mo t difficult traumas ever to be overcome by the members of the police community. For this reason, we are all grateful for ceremonies such as the National Memorial Pipe Band March. Occasions such as these give us an opportunity to gather together, share our mutual pain and sorrow and, of course, fondly remember those who have gone on before us. The support, comfort and trength that can be gained by spending time with others who understand and share our pain cannot be underestimated. During these times of fiscal restraint, the future of many Pipe Bands are in question. I feel very strongly that Pipe Bands are es ential elements of policing. Essential because they memorialize tho e who have given their lives to their community and give a voice, in the form of music, to the deep-seated grief we all feel but may not be able to express. Memorial services remind the public that policing is a tough job with many inherent risks to those who choose law enforcement as a career. Without gatherings such as these, our communities would be unaware of the many officers who have been lost on their behalf. While I cannot begin to compare the dangers of pol icing in Canada to those experienced in the United States, I can say Canadian police forces have lost their share of officers. Each day we struggle with the challenges of safely per-

forming our duties in an increasingly violent society. We under tand and share your pain. But it is through forums such as this that we can begin to heal our wounds and draw attention to the plight of the street cop. It will be a difficult ta Ie, butwe are up tothe challenge. While fallen officers receive many accolades for their bravery, it is their comrades and surviving family members who require ongoing courage to face the continuing battle. Forthose who were killed on duty and were deprived of an opportunity to say farewell to their loved ones, I would like to share with you the following poem : And if I go, While you're still here, Know that I live on . Vibrating to a different measure, Behind a thin veil you cannot see through . You will not see me, So you must have faith . I wait for the time when we can soar together again, Both aware of each other. Until then , live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, Just whisper my name in your heart, I will be there. -Author unknown Yes, ladies and gentlemen. dying is the easy part.

While checking the store's records Gordon and Butula had realiLed that customers had rented some of the pirated copies. Within hours, the officers had contacted the customers and obtained the copies as additional evidence. The Major rime Unit and the FV 0 temporarily withheld details of the raid and the initial arrests to prevent alerting another accused.

But away from the public eye, Gordon and the Major Crime Unit officers settled into postraid paperwork and behind-the-scenes responsibilities. These included: o logging of tapes confiscated in the raid and certifying them as pirated. This means both cosmetic and technical examination of the actual tapes, as well as labels and cassette jackets.

In other cases, this

(To save on costs, the FVSO rarely brings a lawyer to a court hearing.) The strength of the evidence gathered by police and the FVSO before and during a raid often persuades the accu ed to enter a guilty plea rather than electing a full trial ; o appearance at trial, which may involve one or more court dates. The local court's case backlog, the availability of expert witnesses and other factors often affect the length of time involved in getting to this stage; o sentencing of the accused, which may include fine, jail term or both.

Te hnol gy and the down izing 90' s ha made the impo ible, possible. ne per on today mu t perform the work of five . Middle managcment ha been bought off, ea ed out, or just plain dumpcd . Today large amounts of m ney are moved in r out of company ledgers . lely on a single ignature or the click of a c mputer key where at one time several persons were both kno\ ledgeable and accountable. T day it i much easier for an individual employee to be drawn into a criminal act. [n fact gi .. en t day' atmosphere of employment inseurity and opp rtunity it is almost certain that . omeone \\ ill rc rt to theft or fraud in an attempt t "balance the b oks" or '"get what' coming to them." ny way you look at it a company's very urvival may depend on seeking out the offending party to st p the financial bleeding. The firstlineofrecour e for all uch victimized companie i the local police. Unfortunately the realities of downsizing in the corporate field haVE been emulated by the public sector in general and police ervice in particular. The pro pect of any police agency getting invol ed in a large cale, long and complicated inve tigation today i indeed daunting to ay th lea t. uch inve tigation can be co t pro-

hibitive and in many cases far beyond the capabilities of local police personnel. Calling in the R MP or Provincial Police Criminal [nvestigation Branch can mean lengthy delays that for mo t companie could see them out of business before enough evidence is found to do anything. Recognizing this trend several years back a partnership called Forensic Accounting and Investigative ervices (F.AI. .) was formed with raig Malcolm as managing partner. With office on the 25th floor in the heart of Toronto' financial di trict the offices exude efficiency and confidence. The nece sity of being at the heart of Canada's corporate and financial head office is of paramount importance if one i looking for leads in corporate internal thefts and high stakes crooks. My first encounter wa with Alex Broomfield. A newer member ofF.A.!. . Alex brings nearly 40 year of banking experience - the last twelve of which was gained as Chief Inspector with a major financial in titution. Alex pulls few of his punches as he remarks on how police are avoiding costly investigations wherever po sible. "The taxpayer is saying they can ' t be taxed any more. Governments and their agencie are looking for ways to

become more efficient." Broomfield underscores this by pointing out that cutbacks on services, such as inve tigative personnel, appear to be common so police forces can give the '"feelgood" appearances the public demands today of community-based policing. At that point a partner in F.A.I.S. entered the room. In fact, I had known Pat Lymburner years ago ""hen he was a detective with the Metropolitan Toronto Police Fraud quad. Aller serving 25 years in policing and several more years as an inve tigator for variou provincial ministries he joined F.A.1. . in 1994. Apart from a Bay treet suit and some greyne at the temples, Pat had changed little, still trim and fit and in possession of hi la er like gaze. [ asked Pat ifhe felt '"ethics" had become a "buzzword". Pat tated that while ethics is a buzzword, it i still vitally important.·' orporate governance was the big buzzword about ten year ago," Pat taled, "but most people didn't even know what it meant." [ was curiou as to what problems might be brought to F.AI. . Pat responded that his firm dealt with a wide variety of problems such as '"enterprise" type crimes and issue that involved the potential for crime. Fraud examination reviews and corporate reviews also determined a company' susceptibility to fraud . [nsurance claim frauds and fidelity bond claim work featured high in their operation as well. 'These inve tigations are time con uming and police forces, while proficient. simply don't have the staff or re ource to deal with them expeditiously. More and more we are being called on by people who have been to the police and have been told that their case has been prioritized for 1998:' Pat pointed out that if a question of dishonesty exists the problem needs to be dealt with promptly and a company could call F.AI. . to get fast, discreet results. Thus armed, the company would have a reliable resource to take further action and, if it was called for, present the police with the complete, reliable evidence with which to proceed with criminal charges. F. .1. . has also assisted variou level of government in their regulatory effort, filling a vacuum [eft by depleted police re ources. [n doing so they have supplied various government branche with quick, cost effective service.

RecentlyOntario 's attorney general declared that his ministry would approve only of serious crime going forward to trial and that "petty" crime would be sidelined or resolved some other way." eriou ., crime soon came to mean mainly violent or aggra ated a sault against the person while fraud or theft occurrences were often downgraded to the category of"property" offence, even "petty crime". It was clear that F.AI.S. has seen this trend reflected in the type and volume ofcases they get. Crown attorneys in Ontario have experienced a changc in the traditional ground rules as politicians seek more input and it would seem other provinces have witnes ed that as well. Budget, or lack thereof, seems to be the determining factor. Today. more than ever before, there is a price lag on justice. Pat was aware that the victims in any property crime often feel short-changed when they go to see the crown attorney or the police. The po lice, before laying a perfectly good charge, are frequent ly under orders to first get the blessings of the crown. The crown attorney is now required to judge whether in a particular ca e there is a likelihood of uccess at prosecution and this will depend on the number of issues to be proven at trial. Added to this is the likelihood ofit being done in a reasonable time. One of the things that would be of real benefit to the police is if the victim, whether it be an individual or a company. has done the required homework. The police are bu yand, while they will certainly investigate a fraud case to a stage where they have developed reasonable and probable grounds, they haven 't always the time to ensure the likelihood of success of prosecution. There are so many other is ue that may not have been covered offin the inve tigation due to lack of taff and resources. What F.A.1. . can do for the victim is to present the complete package. By covering off all of the avenues that might have been left open for the defence, the defence will be forced to reassess their position relative to the F.A.I.S. client. When a comprehensive package then goes to the police. the answers to most of those questions are already before the crown. It becomes much more difficult for the crown to say the ca e hasn't been well researched or well investigated. Drawing on F.A I.S .'s financial investigative and forensic accounting experience, the end product is complete and co t effective. Defence lawyers may be far more eager to enter a plea on behalfofthe accused rather than go to trial. There is a real economy in that. It is easier on the victim, the taxpayer gets a break and F.AI.S.'s client will get a cost break as well. There have been instances when upon conviction the Crown has sought and been granted an order of restitution which encompassed the value of the loss plus the investigative expenses. Thi enabled the victim to recoup the investigative fees incurred. There is advantage to the offender as well. The entence for a multi-million dollar fraud is probably a sentence range in the order of three to five years. on a negotiated plea, hardly much different than if there had been a trial. If a reputable forensic accounting firm, having covered all the ba es, can point out the futility ofa

good defence to defence counsel, by not leaving them any unexplored areas to exploit, why wouldn't a plea be the way to go? Pat related they did little by way of defence work. The corporate image seems to prefer being on the side of the angels. One might argue that. for example. insurance companies are no angels. But by and large they are governed by their own policies and they honour their legitimate commitments to their policy holders. Some insurance companies in fact are ripped off badly. This reflects on the insurance rates we must pay. F.AI.S. has been in existence since 1992. Forensic fraud investigation is a huge field that can only grow. F.AI.S. investigators and those with a corporate background share in common

an impressive depth of experience and talent. They bring an enthusiasm to their task that has guaranteed a high quality product. There are ome fine investigators still serving on police department but they cannot possibly keep up with the workload. "While there is a wide range ofinvestigative work, F.A.I.S. finds itselfdoingconsultingwork," noted Alex Broomfield, who has just finished working with a client ""here there was a fidelity problem. 'The investigation of the fidelity problem led to the observation that the company, a very successfu I family owned business. had grown very rapidly and had few processes or procedure that would enable them to identify a problem much earlier. Hopefully before it occurred.

"Rc-cngine ring became a euphemi m for down i/ing becau e occasionally one found way to automate a lot of things that had been very manual intensive and automation lowered the payroll eo t. It very quickly became a word that wa~ mi u ed and mi understood, it became something that related to down izing. What happen in down izing is that middle management is thc fir t to go. Ilowever middle managers are usually the guardian of the money, the pr du t. whatever the company has.

Lower level people suddenly have th> kcys to the ca tie. And one of the problcms is to identify tho e people." " mc timc ago we developed a theory as a way t c. plain why omebody commits fraud.

Opportunity - because in the work place reengineering process, with middle management gone, check and balance have been removed from a lot of places without much thought for security.

Environment - l ie look carefully athis own exposure, what are the chances of getting caught, and if the answer i 'NOTM CH,'he will do it. "Once the "GON "theory has been put in place, the per on ha bought into it and they've stolen the product, comes the "R" part of it which i the "R" in "GON R" and that's the 'Rational ization,' where the individual sits down and ays, 'everybody does it. Management doe it, so why shouldn't I. ' "The other rationalization is; ' I was only borrowing it.' At the time they may actually believe it," Alex concludes. o how doe FAI. . ee itself helping the police? One way is for the police, when called into a rather heavy inve tigation, to point out the advantages to such an organization in retainingthe ervices ofacompany such as F.AI. . to do the inve tigation in a timely and discreet fashion. It would co t the company financially to do so but would initially stop the bleeding, bring the culprits before the courts and show them where to tighten up their structure 0 it does not recur. In fact some companies or organization may be reluctant in having police involved due to the company's need to show tability. With police involvement factors such as Freedom of Information legislation might endanger the company's confidentiality and competitive edge in the future. For a young company, F.A.1. . is able to boast of the cumulative 250 years of service experience of its members and associates. This

experience is at the disposal of their clients when they bring in a problem. Being in the pri ate ector, the member of F.AI. . are not subject to the political environment of the police or any other government ervice. They have that kind of freedom and focus to \\ork uninhibited and unencumbered. F.AI. . is certainly another weapon to storc in your crimc fighting tool chest.

'The system failed': Bernardo report conclusion TORONTO (CP) - A report into how police pursued Paul Bernardo during the years when he was stalking , raping and killing young women condemns two forces for an "astounding and dangerous" lack of co-operation . It points to important tips that were lost under heaps of paper, a lack of supervision , a dearth of resources . But police officers aren 't to blame, Justice Archie Campbell said Wednesday. Instead , he repeatedly commended investigators for solid instincts, skills and dedication . "People did their jobs ," Campbell said after releasing his report. "But the system failed them ." Nonetheless, Campbell 's criticism of police in Toronto , Niagara and Halton regions was stinging . Bernardo's arrest and subsequent interrogation , for instance, was a "mess from beginning to end ." Two officers, one from Toronto and one from Niagara , were poorly prepared to interview the sexual predator, Campbell said . One departed from the question plan "without warning" and the interview degenerated into an argument. "Nothing of value was ever gained ." The mistakes began in 1988, when Bernardo's ex-girlfriend told Sgt. Kevin McNiff of Toronto about the knife he pulled on her, his rape fantasies , the way he smacked her around . The damning report McNiff forwarded to police investigating a string of rapes in suburban Scarborough , where Bernardo grew up , sat untouched for more than two years . Other problems with the investigations: - Case management : Tips about Bernardo were scattered in files , binders and desk drawers in a process one officer called a nightmare. -No continuity: From 1987 to 1992, over 15 officers were in charge of separate investigations . - Few resources : The Toronto sexualassault squad investigating the rapes asked for 27 officers. It got six. - Police co-ordination : When the rapes stopped in Scarborough , it was treated as a "cold case." No one recognized that the predator had simply moved west to the St. Catharines area. Campbell said Toronto and St. Catharines "might as well have been in different countries." - Wrong car: Seventeen witnesses linked a Camaro to the case , but Bernardo

drove .a Nissan . The false tip severely hampered the case . One officer told Campbell that "some guys were eliminating people because they didn 't have a Camaro ." - Handling complaints : Before Bernardo killed his last victim , he was reported for stalking three women . One officer "forgot" to report an incident, even though a licence number identified Bernardo as the culprit. Campbell said many problems have since been solved through new computerized case-management systems, but he stressed officers will have to change their attitudes. Police from the three forces issued a brief news release Thursday saying they will "ensure (such errors) do not reoccur."

Warrant kept police from finding Bernardo tapes TORONTO (CP) - Police failed to find important videotape evidence of Paul Bernardo raping and torturing two schoolgirls because of a "very strict" search warrant, a report says. The warrant didn 't allow officers to tear apart Bernardo's rented house in St . Catharines, Ont., Justice Archie Campbell said Thursday in a sweeping study into police investigations of Bernardo's crimes . If police had torn down ceilings and found the six tapes hidden behind a pot light in the bathroom , the evidence could have been declared inadmissible in court, he said . "Police felt they were on slippery ground if they inflicted any damage not explicitly authorized by the warrant," Campbell wrote . The warrant allowed police to chop floor drains out of concrete in the basement and garage, and remove sink traps , in search of evidence that the body of 14year-old Leslie Mahaffy could have been dismembered in either spot. The Charter of Rights requires police to minimize property damage unless they have evidence to justify it, resulting in a "chill" on more thorough searches , Campbell added . Bernardo is serving a life term for killing Mahaffy and Kristen French, 15. He was declared a dangerous offender for those crimes as well as several rapes and the death of his fiancee 's 15-year-old sister. Tammy Homolka died after being drugged and raped by Bernardo and Karla Homolka. The assault was videotaped , as were the rapes of Mahaffy and French and

a sexual assault on a girl known as Jane Doe. The tapes were eventually retrieved by lawyer Ken Murray. But they were not turned over to authorities for about 18 months, after the Crown struck a plea bargain with Karla Homolka. She was convicted of manslaughter in the Mahaffy and French killings and sentenced to 12 years in prison in exchange for testifying against Bernardo. The Crown says it might have prosecuted Homolka for murder if it had the tapes earlier. A Niagara Region police officer removed the pot light during an extensive search of the house and searched around it, but didn't reach far enough to find the tapes . "We missed them ". as simple as that," Const. Michael Kershaw told Campbell during his investigation . "I know I searched the pot light." Drug officers, who specialize in finding objects hidden in obscure places , could have had better luck, said Campbell, who noted drug laws do allow destructi ve searches.

Police upgrading antiserial-criminal techniques TORONTO (CP) - Serial killers and rapists aren 't restricted by jurisdictional boundaries, but the cops chasing them often are . Following a report blasting the police turf wars and communications problems that helped Paul Bernardo elude capture for several years , politicians and others are looking for ways to prevent violent criminals from continuing their reign of terror in another region . Ontario has said it will establish a team of "supercops" culled from departments around the province. They will receive additional training and will join forces whenever serial crimes are detected . "When one of these kinds of crimes is committed, we'll sort of push a button and these guys will come together," said Ken Tufts , a spokesman for the Ontario Solicitor General 's Ministry. The supercops would be paid by their own forces , but the province might kick in funds for extra cars or communication equipment, he said . Exactly what circumstances would have to be in place for the supercops to be mobilized has yet to be worked out, said Tufts. "We're still looking at the workings of this and it will go to the minister in the fall." The key to the whole process is early detection of similarities between crimes committed in different areas. Bernardo committed a string of rapes in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough between 1987 and 1990, then moved around

Lake Ontario to St. Catharines where his first assault was a carbon copy of his previous attacks . . Because there was no system for police forces to cross-reference with each other, no one in Niagara Region realized a suspect in the Scarborough rapes was now in their area. Campbell said the two cities 90 minutes apart by car, might as well hav~ been in separate countries . Before he was finally captured in Febr~ary 1993, Bernardo abducted , raped and killed teenagers Leslie Mahaffy and Kristen French. When the two police forces finally started working together, rivalry and ego got in the way at times in the investigation , Campbell said . RCMP have set up a computer database called ViCLAS - Violent Crime linkage Analysis System - that allows police on any force to cross-reference details of crimes committed in their area with those committed elsewhere. But as Campbell pointed out, submitting information to it is voluntary and the system has been under-utilized. In 1995, information about less than 30 per cent of Ontario's murders and less than six per cent of Ontario's worst sexual assaults was entered into the database. To submit the detail of their investigations to ViC LAS, police must answer some 262 questions - and many simply don't bother. Federal Solicitor Herb Gray said Friday that Ottawa can't order police to participate in ViCLAS . "At the time of the Bernardo situation and at present, all the police forces in On~ tario weren't signed up for it," said Gray. "I 'm sure the Mounted Police would be delighted to have them sign up." Ontario Solicitor General Bob ~unciman said the province's police will , In fact, be required to send information about violent crimes to the database. But Tufts admitted that if a sexual predator or serial murderer committed a crime in Ontario, then moved to a province where filing to ViC LAS was not mandatory, the system might not work. "All we can do is encourage people outside our jurisdiction to plug in," he said .

Tuesday July 16, 1996 Officer justified for firing at car· police

Police end standoff with suicidal man without firing a shot onAWA (CP) - A five-hour armed standoff ended peacefully Monday evening when a suicidal 24-year-old man surrendered to police, who never fired a single shot. No one was hurt, even though the man fired many rifle shots - some at police, said Sgt. Bob Barrette of Ottawa-Carleton police. The incident, over the evening rush hour, caused major traffic disruptions after police sealed off a major road on the city's east side that is a main commuter route . Air traffic controllers at the MacdonaldCartier International Airport rerouted planes to avoid a runway near the house. Police said the incident started when a "depressed" man barricaded himself inside his parents' home during the afternoon. The tactical unit surrounded the house shortly after and telephone contact was established at about 6:30 p.m. The drama ended after the last shot was fired, just after 8 p.m. The man walked out of the house unarmed , with his hands in the air.

Additionally, ordered and unordered pro,imity searches can be performed, and \\ild-cards can be u ed to widen or narrow the scope or the query. Commencing a que!) with an asterisk wild-card for example, a in : '·abandon·," will earch for every word beginning with "abandon," uch asabandoned, abandoning, etc. There are virtually dozens of earch tyles and types with numerous variation and customization feature.

A typical query ta\...e I or2 seconds, with the re ulting hits being highlighted within the document text at every location where the queried word or phrase is found. Clicking on the OK button moves you to the fir t occurrence of the queried word, or phrase. Moving to the sub equent occurrence of the queried word or phra e i a ea y as clicking on the "ne,C button. tep by step back-trac\"'ing of query re ult al 0 allows you to return to previously viewed hits or searches conducted within the current ession . Indi idual hit re ulting from a que!). can also be 'tagged ' for later viewing and or printing.

The user can quickl) sort through the results and tag only the relevant hits, leaving all others behind. earch results can also be saved for future reference. and any section of text can be elected and copied into other program uch as a word processor. Highlighted hit can al 0 be cleared by clicking on the "Clear Query" button. Another very handy customization feature is the" hadow File" proces . Limited only by free pace on your computer' s hard drive, a shadow file allows yOU to create an electronic overlay on the original Infobase file . Within the

shadow file you can create, customizc and store a wide variety of personal preference uch as font type, size, colour and background colour, searches, and notes to your sel f. For example. you could complete a complicated search for a unique case you are working on, use the electronic "high lighter"' feature to highlight all the areas relevant to your case, add per onal notes about it, and save the whole thing within the shadow file . If working in a networked environment yo u could share you r shadow fil es with several people to give th em the benefit of the work you have done. The shadow file also allow additional customization features including groups, bookmark, notes. pop-up links. variou type of jump-links, and tagging of records. The beauty of these products is that they provide all the raw data, and let you serve it up the way you want and need it. THE SOFTWA RE Both the Canada Law Book and Carswell products use the "FOLIO Views Infoba e" software from Foli o Corporati on. In essence, this software is an easy to use product designed for searching largely text-based computer file with various degree of complexity. While easy to u e. I personally found the FOLIO software to be somewhat on the technical "computer-programmer" end of the scale. Some of the language u ed in the interface could have been less technical and more user oriented. Perhaps a browser type software similar to that used on the Internet would be easier to use, especially for novice u ers.

User customizability is limited to very few options. In the CLP ver ion for instance. all the linked words and phrases were displayed in a medium shade of green. I found this difficult to distinguish from the black text of the nonlinked words and text. There was no way to change this feature. so I ju t had to adjust to it. On the other hand, the PLAS version had the e links in a bright red with underlining, which proved much easier to discern from the regular black text. I would assume that this feature is on ly controllable atthe programmer's level, although itwould benice ifit were accessible at the user' s level. Linked screen items were not limited to words or phrases displayed in a different col our, but were also available by double cli cking on various screen elements or plain text. While implemented somewhat differently within each product, linked text or screen elements were often poorly distingui hed from non-linked text or screen elements. In the PLAS version some of the linked screen elements appeared to be Windows style buttons, while others were separate words or phrases contained as a group within a rectangular box. In other instances, bolded regular black text, with no outward signsoflinkingcapability was in fact linked . Linked words or screen elements are all activated by double-clicking. While the cursor does change from the selection " I-bar"' to a pointing hand when you move it over the active area of the link, it lacked intuitiveness. Especially in this area, the user inter-

face appear to deviate from the established Micro oft Windows standard. While the Folio software interface did not quite meet my user-oriented expectations, the actual performance of the software was very fa t. Installation for both products was well under I minute. Once installed. launching the software from the Windows 3.x program manager (or in my case the Windows 95 tart button) was also quite speedy (under 10 seconds). The typical installation proce s install sjust the components of the Folio software to provide access to the information on the CD-ROM . Installation of the entire CD-ROM is possible but with up to 500 MB of information, as on the CLP version. it becomes a serious disc space concern. Both versions installed and ran flawlessly on my machine (a Pentium 75, 16 MB RAM , 1.2 OB hard drive. 4x CD-ROM reader. running Microsoft Windows 95). Searches for peciflc words or phrases were completed in mere seconds. The only delays seemed to be with the CD-ROM drive. Once the disc was up to peed the searches and their results were almost instantaneous. The PLA product seemed to use the COROM more effectively and faster than the LP product. The latter frequently took several seconds to get the CD-ROM up to speed, although once there. it completed all queries with speed comparable to the PLAS version .

"Criminal Law Partner," which also by its name implie the target customer. the legal profession, starts at a whopping $1.950. for 13 users. It however includes monthly updates. Due to its main target being law offices it is under tandable that this product would appeal

Coordination test results excluded without right to counsel R. v. Milne {April 17, 1996i } #C21474 Ontario Court of Appeal by Gino A rcaro

Thc Ontario court of Appeal, in R. v. aunders ( 1988), created principles relating to roadside coordination / sobriety tests during impaired driving investigations: ... Police officers are authorized to require a detained motorist, suspected of impaired driving, to submit to roadside physical coordination tests for the purpose of determining whether evidence justifies a BAT demand . -- Co-ordination tests constitute a detention. Ordinarily, the right to counsel would apply. ... Ilowever, motorists do not have to be informed orthe right to counsel before the test because section I Charterjustifies a right-tocoun el violation in these cases. ... o-ordination tests are reasonable if: -they are performed at the site of detention, without unjusti lied delay -no danger exists to the motorist's afety -the motorist is minimally inconvenienced. These principles were eventually affirmed by the Ontario Court of Appeal in R. v. Smith, Feb. 5, 1996. However, the same court excluded co-ordination test results in R. v. Milne on April 17, 1990. Police officers are now left

with somewhat confusing and contradicting principles. The Milne case is summarized as follows: ISS UE : - Is evidence obtained as the result ofa motorist's participation in a physical roadside co-ordination test admissible to prove impairment at a trial on a charge of impaired driving? Charges: - Impaired Driving and over 80. Ci rcumstances: - An officer attended at the parking lot of an electrical shop in response to a possible impaired driver. Upon arrival, a car was reversing from a parking spot. The officer blocked the path, approached the driver and made three observations: i) odour of alcohol on motorist's breath ii) glassy eyes iii) "very slow" production of the driver's licence. The accused admitted that he consumed two glasses of wine. He was asked to exit the car and to follow the officer to the electrical shop's basement. The officer intended to use the basement to conduct co-ordination tests because of ice on the parking lot. The accused was asked to perform the tests and he complied. He made two unsuccessful

attempts to perform the fi nger to nose test. During an 8-10 step heel -to-toe test, the accused was unsteady and swayed to his right. After the failed tests, the officer arrested the accu ed and made a BAT demand. The accused was transported to a police station, where the provided two breath samples. Readings of 160 and 153 mgs were obtained. Trial: - Theover80 charge was dismissed because less than 15 minutes separated the two breath samples. Regardingthe impaired driv ing charge, the accused sought exclusion of the evidence obtained from the co-ordination tests under section 21 (2) Charter. A submission was made that sections 7, 8 and I O(b) Charter were violated. The primary argument was that the test results constituted self-incrimination. The trial judge rejected the section 8 Charter argument stating that section 8 did not apply. However, Section 7 and 10(b) Charter were violated but the violations were justified by section I Charter, in accordance with R. v. Saunders. The accused's poor performance during the co-ordination tests was admitted and was a factor in the conviction for impaired driving. Appeal : - The accused's summary conviction appeal was dismissed because the Saunders decision was ruled to be binding. An additional appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal was allowed. The conviction was quashed and the accused was acquitted. The following principles were included in the judgement ... Co-ordination tests were not intended to provide the police with a means of gathering self-incriminating evidence against motorists. If that were the purpose. then section I Charter would not apply to justify a section I O(b) Charter violation . ... The use of evidence obtained from coordination tests, that the accused was compelled to take, renders a trial unfair because that evidence could not have been obtained without the participation of the accused. ... As emphasized in R.v. Saunders, roadside tests (ASD or co-ordination» alone do not make a motorist liable to criminal charges. Failed roadside tests, alone, do not constitute a criminal offence. ... The results of a co-ordination test may be used solely to confirm or reject an officer's opinion that a motorist is impaired. Ifthe test confirms the opinion, grounds exist to justify a BAT demand . If a police officer has only mere suspicion of impairment, the officer cannot compel a motorist to "participate directly in the creation of self-inc rim inating evidence." ... The evidence obtained from the tests, in this case, were excluded under section 24(2) Charter. Therefore, in the absence of the failed test evidence, the remaining evidence

was smell of alcohol, glassy eyes, and '"very low" production ofa driver's licence. This constituted mere suspicion only of impairment and did not justify a conviction. Procedure: - In order for an orticer to use evidence obtained from co-ordination tests to prove impairment at trial, a procedure was created by the court's following guidelines. "Nothing prevents the policefrom requesting that the tests be performed after the driver has been advised of his section IO(b) Charter rights to counsel with a reasonable opportunity to exercise the right if reqllested. " (An example given was the 15 minute interval between the fir t and second breath ample.) "Once the driver exercises or waives th e right to cOllnsel, it can safely be conc/lle1eel that the detained driver has freely and volllntarily chosen to repeat the tests. " Additionally. the results of road ide coordi nation tests will continue to be available to police to decide whether to make a BAT demand by contirming or rejecting and opinion. Il owever. the te t results. like B T test re ults. will be inadmissible at trial "unless the driver has been informed of the right to counsel."

Tool against computer theft opportunity for second career By J/arold Dale

ell! "lI1icroGuard" is a ul/iqlle computer al/ti-th eft device mal/ufactllred by a compallY lookillgfor retired police officers to help market to th e busil/ess comlllllllity. When the phone rang in John Todd's home in the still dark hours ofa January morning in 1995, he knew it would likely be the police calling to report a burglary at hi s carborough factory. For Todd, these wake up calls had become routine; he had already experienced four B&E's in thrce months. This latest would be his firth. Todd had operated his industrial building for a number of years without incident. The

In the past, un less a business kept a particularly valuable co m~---...... modity on the premises, diamonds for in1?~~~~~:=~~iiii;J stance, its offices were targets only for amateur thieves seeking cash or other petty valuables. Even technologies such as elec~~~~=§~;:') tric typewriters did little to raise interest; the machines were heavy, and anyway, who was going to buy them? Appropriately enough , most managers satisfied their security concerns with a good door lock, supplemented perhaps with a heavy safe. Then advancing technology and falling computer prices brought two changes which altered the landscape forever. In the late 80's, companies started buying and installing PC's in their offices in droves, raising the investment on a desktop from a few dollars worth of pens and paper to thousands of dollars of high tech reason his peace ed so suddenly was a processing power. But it was the second change disturbing one. In every case, thieves ignored that was key to attracting the thieves. Consumpetty cash and other valuables, going straight ers in the 1990's started to buy PC's heavily for for the office computers. Todd had been visited home use.

much that he and his partner, Hans Ngo, decided to turn their frustration to advantage. The two men founded Micro Snitch Corporation in mid 1995, and saw it become North America's fastest growing computer security product company in only one year. But most business managers, like Todd two years ago, still find themselves caughtoffguard . Companies whose policies dictate careful security for such things as petty cash, think nothing of leaving valuable computers and peripherals strewn unprotected throughout their offices. The problem is one of mindset. Management often doesn't take measures needed to protect what is now routine office equipment, because historically, it never had to. This complacency is reinforced by a false sense of security conveyed by modern office buildings staffed with security guards and equipped with sophisticated perimeter defense systems. Frank Craddock, head of security for TO Bank, is quick to dispel this notion. "These thieves are inventive and audacious;' he remarks. "They'll impersonate business people, cleaning staff, even security personnel in order to gain entry into restricted areas, sometimes helping themselves to equipment midday." Craddock also notes that even restricted security access doors can be corrupted by thieves who tailgate employees, cleaning staff, or other service personnel. In fact the number of people who can have access to even a secure office can be con iderable, especially after factoring in friends, relatives and colleagues of employees, as well as customers and suppliers. It only takes one miscreant in this large group to devastate an entire office. To those who still hold to the traditional belief that computer theft will not happen to them, and if it does, will only be a minor inconvenience, Bill Russell of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto invites them to call him. "If you haven't yet experienced a computer theft and its impact,' he observes laconically, "just wait, and you soon will." Faced with an out of control epidemic of computer thefts in the huge complex under his jurisdiction, Russell didn't accept the dogma that computer theft was just an unstoppable 'cost of business". Russell fought back, beefing up both general and covert security measures while encouraging departments to adopt devices specifically designed to stop computer theft such as the "MicroGuard" alarm which Todd and Ngo developed in Toronto at Micro Snitch. Since introducing these devices in December of 1995, theft of computers from Sunnybrook has virtually ceased. But now a new twist to computer theft is gaining increasing prominence. Thieves are stealing internal computer components rather than the computer itself. This trend has arisen due to industry efforts to reduce costs by deve loping "plug-in" assembly construction with a standardization of internal components across different computer designs. As a result, parts can be effortlessly and quickly removed, and easily sold. Memory modules and central processor chip , for instance, are worth more by weight than gold or drugs, and are virtually

untraceable. Component theft is often done by insiders, further encouraged by disenchantment caused by corporate downsizing or frustrated opportunity. As Hans Ngo of Micro Snitch calls it, "pilfering of office supplies gone upscale." Ngo, incidentally, with his many years experience in the computer industry notes that even the recent sharp declines in memory prices won't erase the problem. " In 1980 a 64K computerwas more than anyone thought they would ever need," he remarks "but today, even a low end system starts with 8 megabytes of RAM. People end up investing the same money in a computer as they always did;just that each year they get more for their money." Terry Ladouceur of Ryerson Polytechnic

Univer ity in Toronto concurs, noting that component theft i the largest property theft risk currently facing the university. As if to underline his comment, in May. Toronto police arrested a suspect for selling stolen computer memory chips on a street corner adjacent to hi s university. Ladouceur has a similar problem to Ru ssell in that many of the operations in hisjurisdiction are open 24 hours day. He has an additional challenge in that many of the computers are located in common areas used by students and others who have no responsibility of ownership. But Ladouceur isn ' t daunted by the seeming impossibility of the challenge. He first im(Colltil/ued...)

And trying to prevent computer theft by catching a few miscreants is like trying to control mosquitoes by watting a few. The most elTective and valuable contribution that police can make is through prevention. Police forces in many citie are already counseling bu ine e to take more aggre i e securit) mea ure to protect their computer assets. Unfortunately, not all are ready to listen . Bu inesses who haven't experienced a robbery ollen believe they are infallible. rime prevention otlicers have their work cut out for them. A for John Todd and Hans go. after earching even the patent records in Ottawa and Washington for an elTective anti theft solution, they set about to develop their own. 'There were already products out there." says Todd, '"but they usually took the form of perimeter alarm or teel restraints, both of which are ignored or overcome b) thieves. ome computer alarms exi ted, but these product were developed primarily for the consumer market, and contained a number of deficiencies rendering them inadequate or inappropriate for commercial and institutional settings." With their fir t products introduced to the market in January, their customer Ii t now include bothgovernmentsandmanyof anada' s be t kno\\ n corporation . Micro nitch ' s most successful product, MicroGlIard, they de cribe as a "car alarm for a computer". The MicroGlIard system triggers if a computer is moved, or ifan attempt is made to open the computer case. Keeping in mind that their customer would be primarily bu ine ses and in titution , they designed the sy tem to be compatible with virtually every make, model of vintage of computer, then built in a high security keying y tem which allows their cu tomer to overlay a master key capability on all of their MicroGliard in tallations. uch a robu t and custom configured ytem can ' tju t be old olTa store shelf. so Todd is out to build a orth American distribution channel specifically dedicated to olTering products which stop computer theft. To this end, he' looking to develop dealers from amongst retired or about to retire law enforcement otlicers. "I look at the e otlicers," Todd say "and I see a valuable re ource of mature, intelligent, di ciplined individuals who are disheartened with the political environment with which police forces thee day must contend." Todd figure that the market contact and training of retired police otlicer combined with the bu ine and technical skill of his group will present an unbeatable market force. If the market respon e to date is an indication. both hi product and his distribution plan have come at just the right time.

GET THE FACTS The Police use offorce isthemostwidelycriticized area in policing today. Ifsimulators are to be realistic they need to reflect reality. The reality is that most use of force situations officers are involved in won't require the use of their firearms . The controversy that surround the pol ice use offorce is not focused on the lack of proficiency. It's all about judgment! Training i all about practicing and practicing makes perfect. ICAT Judgmental Use of Force Trainer is the only truly interactive holistic system that interacts with verbal commands, OC spray, baton s and firearm s, alone or in combination.

ICAT is lower priced and offers superior technology allowing the instructor to change scenario outcomes while in progress based on students actions.

ICAT allows for individual agency's laws, policies, procedures or other text and graphics files to be viewed at the conclusion of the scenario.

ICAT is the only simulator that will operate the newly created Ontario Scenario Discs.

ICAT was chosen over FATS in a competitive bid by the Province of Ontario, Ministry of the Solicitor General to supply 22 systems for the Ontario Police College and Police Services throughout the province.

ICAT major system components are purchased from Canadian manufacturers .

TEAMWORK TAKES PRACTICE The ICAT Trainer is the mo t interactive Judgmental Use of Force Trainer available today. ICAT has set a new standard for police use of force training. The features of this new ystem allows scenario outcomes to be controlled by the in structor based on student's actions. 0 longer is just the firearm able to be used ; now OC spray/Mace and baton s interact as well as verbal commands.

Modernization of police scheduling saves stress and money

Todd Michael hissler £\eclifil'eDirec/or lIIinoi Academy ojCriminolgy hicago II. - Phone 312761- 311

In the continuing etTort to maximize the produ tivity of their tatT, police administrators have tried a variety of opt ions concerning cheduling. hift work began in the textile factories in England during the Industrial Revolution in the late 1700' . Police gencies adopted thi practice and officers began working eight-hour hifts, except for extra rdinarycircum tances where they \\ere needed for longer periods. nder the traight, no frill, eight-hour shift plan.oflicer work eight hours a day, five days in a ro\\. and then have t\\odays otT. Know n as the -8 plan. this ehedule became popular because it was easy to figure out in a 24-hour period; thu you have your day. swing. and midnight . According to a 1991 P. O.. T. survey, 90% of all patr I fficer in alifornia rotate hifts. Some departments rotate hift every 28 day, or even weekly. Ilowever. recent studies have shown that the 5-8 plan, and especially the rever e r tating 5-8 plan, is one of the least advantageou among all po ible schedules. The di advantages of the eight-hour plan range from an unhealthy leep schedule for fficers, to the draining of department budgets with overtime pay. Yet, even though the plan is the lea t beneficial for both police departments and line officers, it i till the most popular. In alifl rnia, halfofall department u ean eightplan for their patrol divisions. Aller the eightplan, the most popular chedules for police departments in alifornia are either the 10 or 12-hour plan . One thing that would improve shill work for officer i the 12-hour hift, commonly known as the 3-12 plan. nder the average 3-12 plan. an officer \\ould work three days a week for three week. and four days a week the fourth in a 28-day period. This results in the main advantage of the 12-hour shill: increased produ tivity and morale. I productivity and morale atTected by the length ofa hill? The Palos Verdes tate, CA, Police Department found out when it changed

from an eight-hour shift (with a shift change at 3p.m., II pm ., and 7a.m.) to a 12-hour shift (changing at noon and midnight). Officers wrote 48.6% more traffic citations, and there were 13.8% more officer-initiated arre ts. Another department that switched to the 3-12 plan, the Louisiana Department of Public Safety, noted that their arrests rose by 26%. A study by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERE) showed that " In ew York City, when a new precinct was established utilizing fixed tours of duty, the number of moving and parking violations issued increased markedly. This precinct experienced a 55.9 percent increase in moving violations and a 42 .8 percent increase in parking violations" (O'Neill). These figures did not drop off at a later time, proving that the shift was responsible for the increase in productivity. It was not an inflated statistic caused by officers trying to sell the 12 hour shift. Some departments found that after implementing 12-hour shifts, it became difficult to maintain adequate staffing in non-patrol units, such as detectives. The patrol division became the more desirablejob. Therefore, many departments offer a pay differential to offset the advantage of the 12-hour patrol shift. The 12-hour shift changes the status for patrol officers for the better. Because the patrol unit is a more desirable position, departments have experienced improved recruitment and retention of officers. The Louisiana Department of Public afety noted that supervisors report an all-time high in employee morale. Officers enjoy having the extended time off. They no longer work an average offive days a week, but instead now work an average of three days a week. This allows them to do a variety of different things with their free time. Because of the shortened work week, departments report that officers are more willing to give up or waive other benefits. This has even included pay raises. Lt. Jaakolaofthe Palos Verdes Estates, CA, Police Department said that retention of officers increased dramatically after implementing the 12-hour shift. Before the compressed work week was implemented, new officers often used the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department as

a training ground and then transferred to other departments. With the 12-hour shift, retention is much better. The 3-12 plan has definite health benefits. When employees only work three days a week on average, there is less possibility of sleep deprivation. The body can get used to having the ame chedule week after week, since most of the days worked would be repeated. Another advantage is that an officer does not regularly rotate shifts, but keeps the ame shift for an extended period of time. This contribute to a better family life. According to the Louisiana Department of Public afety, family life on the whole was greatly enhanced when it implemented the 12hour shift. Three different family roles must be performed by a shift worker: care giver, sexual partner, and ocial companion. Because the worker has more time at home, these area are improved with the implementation of the 12hour shift. The five-day, eight-hour shift plan has verifiable disadvantages. The Congressional Office of Technology As e ment reported that "For ome shift workers, the combined stress of a desynchronized circadian system, sleep deprivation and domestic and social disharmony may result in additional adverse effects, including health problems and diminished performance. Dimini hed performance can compromi e the afety of the individual worker, and in some occupations., the afety of the public as well."the Journal of the American Medical Association reported other health problems that can be attributed to hift work. Increased risk of heart attack, gastrointestinal disorders. peptic ulcer di ea e, increased ri ks of miscarriage, pre-term birth.lower-birth-weight babies, higher incidence of cardiovascular disease, menstrual problems, increa ed feelings of irritation and strain, and a general feeling of malaise are all associated with irregularshiftscheduling. PEFF research indicates police officers are among those groups that have the highest incidence of heart attacks, gastrointestinal disorders, and premature deaths. In our society, males live to the average age of 73. Their badge-carrying counterparts livetotheaverageof53" (0' eill). Why these health problems occur is largely due to stre and circadian rhythms. A study in the ew York City Police Department d i covered that, "The greatest sources of stres come from within the Department itself, including undesirable working conditions and regularly changing assignments and tour schedule (shifts) that adversely impact eating habits and normal living conditions" (0' eill). According to the American Medical Association, "Circadian rhythms are generated by an internal clock or pacemaker in the brain that is synchronized to daily time cues in the environment, most importantly the light-dark cycle. Function that vary with a circadian rhythm include body temperature, sleep and wakefulness, the relea e of many hormone, alertness, and memory:' One way this internal clock is set is by the pineal gland. The pineal gland is a light sensitive gland within the brain that produces and

BLU£ LIN_£______________________________~D ~I-_____________________ AU9UstSePtembe~ 1996 M agazin e

secretes the hormone melatonin. Some refer to the pineal gland as a third eye because of its light sensitivity. In the dark, the pineal gland produces melatonin, thus marking a certain point in the circadian rhythm. The phenomenon known as "jet lag" is an example of when one' s old circadian rhythm no longer correlates with the current schedule. When traveling you force your body to be awake and asleep during times that it is not used to. The same is true when a worker changes shifts. The effects of shift change are even more drastic without the sunlight to help coordinate one's sleep schedule. Becauseofthis, one ofthe worst things that a worker can do is to change shifts frequently on a regular basis. According to O'Neill and Gushing, "The

circadian system has a resetting (entrainment) mechanism that realigns the circadian system, but that mechanism only copes with a ' fine tuning ' of one hour per day. It is not capable of coping with the gross changes characteristic of moves to and from night work (or moves rotating from shift to shift).'· Kenneth E. Kutella., an attorney specializing in police related issues. stated, " At some point in the future , municipalities are going to be held accountable and legally liable for the negati ve consequences of certain sh ift attributes that are shown to dramatically decrease response time and adversely impact decision making." With the issue of police scheduling being so imperative and instrumental in a department's

Last year the Metropolitan Toronto Police altered its compressed work week schedule so that it conformed more toward the cycles used by neighbouring Peel Regional Police. The timetable permits an afternoon swing shift during the regular night shift (where applicable), and would be applied to officers working in the Primary Response functions. During the early 1980's the Metropolitan Toronto Police adopted a compressed Work Week which increased the number of divisional platoons to five (platoons "A" to " E" shown above) and significantly modified their working schedules. This scheduling, although popular, was found not to be as compatible to the specialized types of service required in a large urban community. Several experiments were performed whereby unit commanders in certain areas were permitted to move personnel to early or late starting times to accommodate community and neighbourhood initiatives.The biggest problem to overcome was the extended days off the standard compressed work week afforded officers. It was difficult for officers to stay in touch wi th thei r areas. The modified Peel Region Police cycle (shown above) was decided to be a suitable compromise. The modified structure was additionally studied in regard to the following en-

hancements; ./ a permanent evening shift, staffed by members volunteering to work it, superimposed on the schedule as shown above. This would operate in a manner similar to the old 1900 to 0300 shift which was in place prior to 1982, and would help bolster front-line complements during the busy evening hours; ./ a system whereby one platoon voluntarily works a permanent midnight shift, and the four others rotate between days and evenings only; and ./ a four platoon, four week, 12-hour shift rotation currently in use in many Ontario Provincial Police detachments. The system gives officers every second weekend ofl The Metro Toronto Police study determined the requirements of Primary Response and those of Community Response are vastly different. Primary Response must be functional at all times ofthe day, every day; personnel coverage must be sufficient to address emergencies. Alternately Community Respon se is proactive, and generally does not involve dealing with emergencies. The opportunity exists to schedule officers' problem-solving efforts to achieve a balance between officer availability and community service. The study thu s determined the schedule shown below was more appropriate for these members.

As the poli e approached them. all three men plit up, one walking north. the other outh and the third nto the property of the Bytown Inn . onstable Ru sell Berndt, \~a on hi econd night of police duty after a lengthy period of en ice in the anadian avy (he returned to the pol ice after three and one-hal f year in the ervice). lIe was accompanied by Detective toneman to help refre h himself in police \\ork. nstable Berndt got out of the prowler car and stopped the one uspect who was walking south on ' onn r. while Detective toneman, I~ho had been driving. got out and walked ar und to the front of the police vehicle where he called to the ne \\ho had been going north to st p. fhe man turned drew a nickle plated handgun from his po ket and fired at Detective t neman IVho fell to the pavement. Theshooter IVa later identified upon arre t as Eugene Larment. Larment shot toneman from the hip and struck the detective in his left shoulder. The bullet grazed hi lell lung and lodged in his chest. lie wa hot from a distance of about six feet. I arment then fired upon onstable Berndt \\ ho sought cover behind a canopy in front of the By tOlVn Inn. Two of the trio ran down 0' on nor treet to Ibert treet. n table Thomas Walsh and John Ilardon, together with a military omcer who was in the area. R AF Flight Lieutenant A. W. Appleby, of and Point, arrived at the corner in another prowler car. Larment fired upon them and Berndt returned the fire. ' onstable Ilardon chased the Oeeing gunman into thc yard of the By town Inn and follolled him thr ugh a maze of backyard and alleys until he had ucceeded in cornering him in an Albert treet yard. As the constable approached to take the man, Larment turned and fired t\\O more shots at the constable. Leaping a fence, Larment managed to reach a

laneway leading through to later Street, between Metcalfe and O' Connor treets, where he was chased into the arms of Constable Henri Gravelle. The second suspect, Wilfrid D'Amour, whom Constable Berndt had earlier stopped, was detained by Lieutenant Appleby at the scene. Still struggling with the suspect, Constable Walsh handcuffed him and then placed him under arrest. The third suspect was lost in tne back alleys. . While the gun-firing chase was at its p,eak. Detective Stoneman lay in a pool of blood on the street awaiting an ambulance which arrived fi fteen minutes later. The detective had received the "radio call" at I :02 a.m. and within four minutes of receiving the call. he had been shot and lay on O' Connor Street. He was rushed to the Ottawa General Ilospital where blood donors were asked to tand by in case of need. Dozens of Ottawa people had called the police station to offer blood donations to help the dying detective. Both D'Amour and Larment were brought to the police station. A search of the police car in which the two u peets had been brought in unearthed a nine millimeter automatic pistol and a knife which D' Amour admitted hiding at the side of the car's back seat on the way to the station. Included in the articles taken from the two men was an assortment of tools to break into cars. A third weapon, a .32 caliber, nickelplated pistol was found in a trench-coat which had been dropped in a laneway. The coat be longed to Larment and the pistol was the weapon used in the murder of Detective toneman. Laterthatdayat6:30 in the morning, Detectives John Cavan, Robert Bayne and Edgar Kedey, assisted by Constable Berndt, found the third suspect, Albert Ilenderson. the man who escaped in the police cha e, in bed at 711 Albert treet. A .45 automatic Colt was recovered . Detectives Lester Routliffe and Fred Sy ms searched 350 and 352 Wellington Street, the premi es of the other two suspects in custody. In the search, three Thompson ub-machine guns and one revolver we re found buried under a pile of debris at the rear near an entrance to a cellar. Investigation revealed that the weapons were the property of the Canadian War Mueum on us ex treet. The museum had been broken into on the 22nd of October. 1945. A total of six revolvers (9mm . .45, .41 , .32 and .455 calibre) and three Thompson sub machine guns were stolen. Thomas Stoneman joined the Force as a probationary constable on September 8, 193 I

and howed such promise in hi chosen career oflawenforcement that he was boosted through the rank to the post of detective in a decade and acquired a distinguished record of success in solving criminal cases. On January I. 1941. he Iva appointed acting detective and nine month later, he was appointed to the rank of detective. l Ie was involved in another hooting incident three years before (exact date unknown) at the Avalo Club on Chelsea Road, while assisting Montreal detectives in the capture of a group of bandits wanted for a series of armed ho ld-up in Montreal. Acting on information the bandits were at the hotel, Detective toneman accompanied the Montreal Detective and located them in the grill room. A scume ensued "'hile the arrests were being made and one of the \Ianted men. John McEwen. was critically \\ounded by a bullet from a Montreal detectives' service revolver. The first omcial police ervice funeral was held on ovember 1st, 1945, for Detective Stoneman. I Ie received an escort from member of the Ottawa Police. Police omcers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Il ull, the Quebec Provincial Police. the Ontario Provincial Police, the epean Township Police and fire departments from the surrounding area, as well a a detachment of the military Provost Corp, RC F service pol ice and the naval shore patrol, were in attendance. The R MP military band escorted the funeral procession from the funeral home on McLeod treet to Igin treet, then north to Laurier Avenue. from where the police omcers were bused to Beechwood emetery. Thomas Stoneman left behind his widow, the former Loi Cleary of Amprior, and their twin, Richard Thomas and Jill Lois, one year old at the time of his death . Stoneman was the son of Tran port Commissioner J.A. toneman . In urance coverage and benefits for police omcer killed on duty were not in place as they are today . evertheless. City Council approved the recommendation that the widow and dependent children of the late Detective toneman be paid

annually the sum of one thousand dollars. The amount given to Mrs. Stoneman was in addition to the $780 compensation which she received from the Ontario Workmen's Compensation Board. Detective Stoneman's annual salary was listed as $2,500. Eugene Larmentand Albert Henderson were well known to the Ottawa Police. Five years earlier, on the 3rd of April, 1940. Larment and Henderson, in company of two other individuals were involved in an armed robbery in the town of Prescott. They had used a stolen vehicle and area police forces were given the plate number and the description of its occupants. Constables Allen Donaldson and Harold Goodwin observed the stolen vehicle proceeding north on Bronson Avenue atthe intersection of Gladstone Avenue. '"We pulled along-side the other auto and [(Constable Goodwin) stuck my revolver in the face of the driver and told him to stop, but he immediately swerved the car to the left, sideswiping our car". Several shots were fired from the stolen automobile, "so I fired a shot at it and then the firing continued back and forth as we proceeded down Commissioner Street and Wellington Street". The stolen auto finally crashed itself on a guard rail on the Chaudiere Bridge. The four occupants were immediately placed under arrest. The Hull Police assisted the constables by transporting them to the Ottawa Police station. [t was estimated that Constable Donaldson fired three shots, Constable Goodwin, five and

the occupants ofthe stolen vehicle, eight. Two revolvers were found in the stolen vehicle. For the murder of Detective Stoneman, Eugene Larment was found guilty on January 23rd, 1946, and sentenced by Justice Barlow to be hanged. The sentence was carried out on March 27th, 1946 at 12:32 a.m. The condemned man was accompanied to the gallows by Brigadier Herbert Porter, the Salvation Army jail chaplain . Immediately following the execution, the body was turned over to members of the family. Larment was the last man to be hanged at the Nicholas Street Jail. Mr. Justice Barlow, in his charge to the jury, expressed the belief that on the evidence presented all three men should be found guilty "beyond reasonable doubt" of the slaying of Detective Stoneman. His Lordship believed the

three men were party to a common design to steal and to resist arrest by murder. The jury however acq u itted Henderson and D' Amour of the crime of murder. They later pleaded guilty to the charges of breaking and entering the premises of the National War Museum, the theft of an automo.bile which was used during the burglary and to ten other criminal charges. On the 6th of February, 1946, Albert Henderson was sentenced to 29 years in Kingston Penitentiary by Magistrate Strike. Wilfrid D'A mour was sentenced to 27 years. Detective Thomas Stoneman's name is engraved on the Honour Roll plaque inside the lobby of the Ottawa Police station - 474 Elgin Street - along with other police officers who have since died in the line of duty.

Groupware and Law Enforcement Providing better COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION and COORDINATION By Richar d McElroy Imagine the following cenario: A woman was sexually assaulted by a young male. DlIe to extreme trallma and shock, the woman was only able to provide one small elue abollt the suspect: he remembered seeing a talloo 011 the forearm o/the mallll'hich read "A1illm'eed ". With only this as a starting point, the ill\'estigating officer o/the Street Crime Unit did a search on this name in their SCT. ( treet Crill/e Tracking ystem). Within minutes. the sy tem - which tracks and organizes ill/orl1lation about known gang members, ineluding their gang names. their street names and aliase . past records and even electronic mug shots - came lip with a match. By the next morning. the victim positively identified the SlI pect via the electronic mug shot, and the suspect was/ollnd. arrested and charged within a/ell' hours. Sound too good to be true? Well it was true - thanks to a new tool gaining recognition in the poli e community. Many police forces and law enforcement agencie around the world are now utilizing a soflware technology typically rcferred to as groupware. More and more police forces are looking to group\\oarc olution to hclp them achieve results like thc Me quite Police Force in Texas did \.,.ith their treet rime Tracking System. "Without our ystem. it likely would have taken me wcd,s. ma) be more, to track down that gang mcmbcr. since the suspect actually Iived in Richard on, Texa (a neighboring city). But

because our system allows us to share information with two other local forces, including Richardson, we were able to get the job done within a day," explained Sergeant Bruce Bradshaw, a Gang Unit team member with the Mesquite Police Force.

What is Groupware and why is it so applicable to law enforcement? The term "groupware" is much used, little understood. and frequently the source of confusion and skepticism. Why? Because, groupware can mean so many different things to different people and organizations; it can not be defined by anyone objective, function or technology. At its foundation, the basic conceptofgroupware is not really about technology at all, but rather about PEOPLE - and how they interact to achieve their goals. Defined then. groupware is just a set of tools (in the form ofsof'tware on a personal computer) which enable people to work together through the 3 basic forms of human interaction: COMMU ICATIO , COLLABORATION and COORDI ATION (or the "3Cs"). For example - as it pertains to an electronic groupware solution - Communication implies the ability to send electronic messages via "Email'; Collaboration implies the ability to work on and share the same information through shared databases and conferencing (ollen referred to as a "virtual office or workspace"); and Coordination implies the ability to add structure and workflow to a particular process (such a the steps required to generate all necessary

documentation associated with an arrest). Groupware and its many bencfits are important because. just like in a business, the key to success for an) police force or lawenforcement agency i the ability for its people to work as a cohesive. organized team, and to have access to information when and where it is required. Almost all actions police departmcnts undertake. whether it is making an arrest. tracking a suspect. or investigating an insurance fraud. require the 3 Cs: communicating with other officers, units or forces, collaborating on available, shared information and coordinating the actions and functions of multiple people.

Lotus Notes as a groupware platform From a theoretical standpoint, groupware sounds ideal. But for police forces to achieve its many benefits. they likely have to invest vast sums of money and implement many different. complicated technologies. Right? Wrong! There is a product which can cost effectively and painlessly achieve the benefits of better communication. collaboration and coordination. It's called Lotlls Notes, and it is the leading groupware product on the market today. ow in its fourth full release. "Notes'· has established a large and growing base of more than 3 million users worldwide. and it is predicted this number will climb to over 20 million before the turn of the century. Notes has also generated its own industry. with over 12.000 business partners building Notes sol utions. Lotlls Notes was built to address the 3 "Cs" mentioned above. In essence. Notes become a central access point to find. organize. mobilize and share information which police forces need to do their jobs effectively. Notes is a perfect fit for today's police forces for a number of reasons: Flexibility:- The power of Notes lie in its ability to allow developers to rapidly create and deploy customized applications which can meet unique and specific police force needs: this also means that an application can "evolve'· or be changed as needs and requirementschange. Scalability:- Notes can support mall workgroups of a few people. right up to thou-

ands of users ,and can be used to deploy a wide range ofdifferent applications. upport for a dispersed workgroup:othing on the market today matches ales' ability to support remote locations or u ers- achieved through something called replication. 0 matter where you are. Noles allows you to work a if yo u were back at the omce. After all, Police forces don' t have al l their peop le do work in the same locati on; th ey work with other omcer in diffe rent locations, with different dcpartments, with diffcrent forces, and even with different organ izations. The ethreeelementscombinetomakei\'oles a unique platform for teamwork and information sharing. Traditionally law enforcement agencies have had to choose software designed for a single function such as records management. computer-aided dispatch. mug shots. or case preparation. In most case these app lications arc not integrated and usually run on a variety of computer platforms with a mix ofdata formats. The Notes architecture is based on a data storage model that promotes the multipurpose use of data and technology. For example. a common image torage database \\ ould contain mugshots. accident scenes. scanned documents, or any other image. These images would be available from an) other NOles application. This makes Notes extremely em cien t. and allow other applications to be easi ly integrated. Mo t importantly, because NOles is the "common denominator" for a mu ltitude of app lication. the return-on-investment is exceptional ly high.

Notes at work Notes is a proven performer. and is being used as a platform for a wide range of applications, including the treet Crime Tracking ystem used by the Mesquite Police Force. That system was designed. developed and deployed literally within weeks by Technology Helps Inc. of Plano. Texas. The system is u ed by the over 25 people spanning three separate forces. "Our system allows me more time to spend investigating. and less time playing telephone tag and searching through reams of files and paper:' adds Sergeant Bradshaw. The Innisfil Police ervice in Ontario is utilizing a Lotlls NOles ba ed "Records Management System" (RM ). "Crown Folder Documentation System" (CFDS) and Dispatch System with extreme I) good results. The system was developed by Enterpol lnc. of Bradford, Ontario. The integrated RMS system allows Innisfi l to effectively gather. disseminate and route incident and intel ligence reports. press releases. reference material. mail and forms. The CFD enables quick and accurate production of Crown folder documents. It even includes a database of charge wordings covering the Criminal Code. arcotics Control Act. and others. In describing the impact of Notes and these applications on Innisfil's operations. Chief Bruce Davis say .. the implementation of our otes-based systems has all owed us to change large amounts of data into accessible information which we can now use to do our jobs more effectively. AI o. now that Notes is in place, we

can get much more out of our investment by being able to easily and cost-effectively implement other applications ifrequired:' And there are a multitude of other Notes applications which are in u e. including Gang Encyclopedia. Sex Offender Registration. Neighborhood Crime Watch System. Juvenile Tracking, Police Applicant Tracking. Internal Affairs Complaint Tracking and others.

Communication and information sharing is critical Groupware has. until recently. been primari ly targeted at the corporate world. since the business environment and its processes are a natural fit for uch technolog). This is evidenced by the fact that otes has become a very important (if not a primary) infrastructure for thousands of companie around the world. It is therefore easy to see that groupware technology like ales. and the benefits derived from it. will inevitably become as important. ifnot more important. to pol ice and law enforcement agencies. If a team of people in a business fail to communicate effectively or share neces ary information. the worst that can result is a decrease in re\enue or 10 s of market share. However. if thi happens in a police department. the consequences can be much more serious and farreaching. For more information, please contact: Brian Ilenry at Enterpol Inc.

its ... (but) it would be a great help. We could make a computer field for trademarks in description. That would narrow down the search: instead of searching five million rings. we'd search one million." In April. Toronto appraiser Anne eumann. vice president of Harold Weinstein Ltd. gemmological laboratory. used the-as-yet-unpublished index to help the Ontario Provincial Police olve a jewellery robbery. Items had been recovered. says Neumann. but police wanted to go to the manufacturers to veri fy that the manufacturers had. in fact. sold these items to that tore. and that these items were recovered from that robbery. When there are very few leads to start with. trademarks are one more clue. whether to identify stolen property or a body. Despite the chances-as one forensic ident unit officer so aptly put it- that "John Doe" could be wearing "Joe Smith ·s"jewellery. in the absence of dental records. it may be one of the few aid to

identification . Trademarks could have helped solve the Victoria. B.C. . murder of the 38-year-old man publicized in Canadian Jeweller. Michael Barnes. who work s for the precious metals marketing section of the Industry and Science department. Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada. called in with the trademark information for one of the rings. which police subsequently recovered. Inve tigators never had to pursue that lead. howcver. A 50-year-old male and his 16-year-old stepdaughter were arrested for the theft and killing - the stepdaughter told someone who informed the police. But. then. sometimes the job is not as easy. For those cases. the Trademark Index can play a role in fingering the suspect.

The Precious Metals Marking Act The consumer Products Directorate of Industry Canada administers and enforces the Precious Metal Marketing Act and regulations. Con umer Products Directorate officers are authorized to inspect precious metal articles. including jewellery. at any level of the trade. They conduct inspections. as consumers are unable to verify if the quality of the metal is present as marked. All modern industrialized countries have similar consumer protection legislation . Both the jewellery industry and consumers benefit from the Precious Metals Marking program. which serves as a deterrent to fraud and provides for the uniform description of the quality and other essential characteristics of precious metal articles. Consumer and industry complaints involving the under-karating of precious metals may be directed to the onsumer Products Directorate service point in you region or through the Internet add res . The purpose of the legislation is to: A: Ensure information provided to consumers on the quality of a precious metal (gold. silver, platinum) article is not misleading or deceptive. B: Provide a uniform description and quality marking of precious metal articles Uewellery. hollow-ware. spectacle frames. watches. flatware, etc.) in order to assist consumers in making purchasing decisions.

We would welcome suhmlssions. I was recently notified about an ntario Police Alarm Coordinators meeting to he held on eptember I , 1996 at the Iialton Regional Police Ileadquarters building. Interested per. on hould call Dorothy Kosciuch at (905) 25-./777 Ex. 5 N9.

In the PP telephone directory under Iluman Re ouree - P ychologieal erviee, yo u find the Peer upport oordinator, Psychologist and a.. i tant eoun ellor. In the detachment file under Emp loyee 'ounselling( ection 250-20)you find the pro vin e \\ide Ii t of peer and trauma support provider ' fellow officers, their name, locati n . home and wor" number . Thi Ii t al 0 regularly travel acro the "8-day board" every

time a revised publication is sent out. The existence of these people and their program is brought to the attention of recruits and articles are regularly published in the OPP Review, a magazine given to every member. I have been involved in a couple of major incidents in my career. Fir t a the spouse of a Metro officer who was shot on duty and then 5 years later being involved in a shooting myself. Perhaps thi give ome validity to my opinion that the OPP ha an excellent ystem. The trauma support providers were on the scene from various points across the Province within hours of the shooting. There were over 50 members with variou need of support. They tood back and Ii tened and waited when necessary and stepped in and debriefed, as well when necessary to en ure that olJr emotional wounds healed properly. Are you with Metro Mr. McQuillan, a it seems to me that you must be. You had the ame problems with your urvey with Metro personnel as with the OPP member, but you dug further and went on a hunting expedition with Metro, to try and find the information. Had you 'hunted' in the OPP directory or detachment file you would have come up with the ame information I have provided for you. Definitely not every one of the "8.2% of the country's officers" (OPP) have the name of a coun elloron the tip of their tongue and perhap an information card could be printed. One Ii ting the phone numbers and location, for each officer; but to have slammed an excellent program and suggest that OPP members call Metro or out of Province to get a i tance is a major in ult to a hard working group of people. You, by doing this, could actually di suade ome members from reaching out at all for the help they need. Myra Rusk Markdale, Ontario Editor 's ote - Your indignation is quite understandable. Howeveryou must not con/use Ihe people with the program. Our real interest was in the programs set up and how they are functioning along with how well they have been publici=ed within the respective agencies. 0 one becomes a Peer Counsellor because they are ordered or forced to. These dedicated people are there because they care about the people they work with. There can be no higher motivation than this. Peer counsellors from across the country were never found to be lacking. Programs were' We do not have access to the OPP files (they and the Ontario olicitor General 's office are usually very di tant with Blue Line and we don 't know why) but when we found agencies where everyone who picked up the phone could tell us the number to call/or "immediate help " then you can understand where your agency's PROGRAM has/allen short.

Source of relief is closer than many know Your publisher' commentary, " Ilow i your Brick Wall holding up?"' (June-July 1996 issue) and the accompanying "Employee As istance Program urvey" really caught m} attention. I am a 22 year veteran of a large anadian police force and a few year ago. my "brick wall" came tumbling down . It was brought on by a combination of job-related tress, personal health problem and deep involvement in a nasty situation involving several friends and close associate .

I came through my "burn out" as well as I did, due to. in a large way, the support of many people and friends in my local church. I know what I "found" at church.

The Bushnell Holosight

-"'---- This new ""WYSIWYG" sight really shines By Manf red W. Benton Firearms and Ballistics Editor Recently I had a chance to test the new Bushnell Holosight, a revolutionary sighting system based on advanced holographic technology. The Bushnell Holosight uses a laser light to illuminate a holographic reticle embedded in the heads-up display window. Looking through the heads-up display the shooter sees a bright red image of the reticle projected onto the target. There is no light projected onto the target that could give away the shooters position. Since the Holosight has a magnification of only "one power" (IX), no focusing is required. Clarity and resolution are always sharp and defined. The test sight I received was equipped with a standard reticle which was a dot inside a ring, the ring had markers at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock position . There are other reticles available: Rising Tracer Dot, Dual Rings and Open Crosshairs. All electronic controls are recessed, pushbutton switches located on either side of the housing of the unit. The Holosight takes two commonly available "N" cell 1.5 volt alkaline batteries. Pointing the sight in the direction of the target, the ON/OFF and " Battery Check Indicator" button is located on the right side of the unit. The " Brightness Adjustment Settings" (indicated by an UP and DOWN arrow) are located on the left side. The unit is equipped with an auto shutdown mode which turns the power off 8 hours after the last push-button control is used . The sight is capable of being programmed to shut off after two hours. The overriding ofthe default setting (8 hours) to a 2 hour auto shutdown must be done every time the sight is turned on. The sight mounts on a standard I" dovetail or Weaver style rail. There are, of course, elevation and windage adjustments. For elevation, each click will change the bullet's point of impact 1/4 Minute of Angle (MOA). For the windage, each click will change the bullet's point of impact 1/2 Minute of Angle. I had the Holosight mounted and tested on a Ruger Mini 14, a Colt AR 15 (both in .223 Rem, 5.56 Nato cal.) and a Winchester 12 gauge Model 1200 Riot pump action shotgun. After sighting-in procedures with each of the above mentioned guns, the advantages of the Holosight became immediately apparent. The reticle can be put onto the target with astonishing ease and accuracy. The projectile hits where the reticle points, even if the reticle is not in the center of the sighting window. Since you can use the sight with both eyes open you always have your peripheral vision which is very important in a tactical situation. The Ruger Mini 14 rifle was tested at an

outdoor 50 meter (164 feet) range. 1 emptied a 10 round clip at 3 man size targets situated 2 meters apart in 12 seconds, standing, supported by a 4x4 post. Each shot was a perfect center mass hit with a double tab on target # I. The Colt AR 15 was tested at an outdoor range and sighted in at 25 meters (82 feet). This gun was tested by members of the Waterloo Regional Police Emergency Response Team. At this short distance the shooters went for speed. Firing a 20 round clip in semi-automatic mode as fast as possible standing unsupported produced several 3 and 3 1/2 inch groups. The Model 1200 Winchester 12 gauge shotgun was tested at a 20 meter (66 feet) indoor range which was equipped with a dimmer light switch to simulate different lighting conditions. The Holosight was really easy to use under the various light conditions. I used 12 gauge Challenger Slugs, shooting standing and supporting on a post, 4 holes out offive were touching at the target, the fifth shot hit 3/8" to the left. I also tried 00 Buck shot at 10 and 15 meters (33 and 49 feet). Without touching the setting of the Holosight (the setting was for slugs at 20 meters) the center of the pattern was approximately 2 1/2" to 3" above the point of aim, which is, for all practical purposes, right on. For tactical applications it would be nice to have the "ON/OFF" button (which is marked : II 0) color coded red or orange since the " BATTERY CHECK" button (which is marked with a battery symbol) is next to the "ON/OFF" button and both are black. In a stress situation there could be con fusion when you least need it. The speed with which you can achieve target acquisition under various light conditions is where this new sight really shines. When viewing a target through this sight the old adage "what you see is what you get" really comes true.
