Need help? You're not alone
Launched in the Spring of 2013 by the
Canadian Centre for Child Protection,
NeedHelpNow.ca is a website resource
designed to provide youth with practical
steps to regain control over a regrettable
post that is being shared and viewed by
peers.
In a digital age where smart phones
and tablets can quickly post images, pho-
tos and thoughts, more and more people
are connecting online. A sexual image or
otherwise troubling picture can easily be
shared with the same ease as the original
post. Although the harassment is elec-
tronic, the health effects for the victim are
very real, in some cases, tragically
permanent.
The South Bruce Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) is proud to support Need-
HelpNow.ca and want to ensure the resi-
dents of Southern Bruce County are
aware of this valuable resource that is
available for teens.
"Today's youth are facing a greater
number of challenges than previous gen-
erations. These challenges become dan-
gerous when they surf the intemet believ-
ing they are consequence free and
anonymous users. It still takes a commu-
nity to raise a child, so do your part and
help keep them safe. Educate them to the
risks of sharing information online and
support them if they are being tormented
over something that has gone 'viral,",' said
Inspector Scott Smith, detachment com-
mander of the South Bruce OPP.
Lock your phones to avoid unnecessary calls
South Bruce OPP wants the public
to lock their cell phones at home, after
98% of the 9-1-1 calls they responded
in 2013 turned out to be false alarms
caused by false dials.
Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 3, 2013,
South Bruce OPP responded to 579
emergency calls. Of these calls, 10
(2%) were actual emergencies.
The other 569 (98%) of the 911 calls
police received were accidental calls,
children playing with the phone,
phone line trouble or cell phone
"pocket dial" calls.
"When 911 is called, emergency
personnel will respond. In some
areas, a 911 call will activate police,
fire and ambulance to respond, which
creates a significant cost to the rate
payers, but the potential harm is far
greater," said South Bruce OPP inspec-
tor and detachment commander Scott
Smith. "Emergency responders are
strategically located to provide the
best possible service delivery. If they
are delayed responding to a real event
by a non -emergent 911 call, the con-
sequences could be very serious for
the person or people that need imme-
diate assistance. `Lock it in your
pocket' means lock your cell phone
keypad and save 911 for true
emergencies."
Cell phone "pocket dial"/accidental
accounted for 323 (56%) of the 911
calls of the 911 calls that the South
Bruce OPP responded to in 2013.
Another 128 (22%) of the 911 calls
were `accidental,' with some listed as
mis-dials, where the caller was
attempting to call 411, an overseas
number, or from someone program-
ming emergency numbers into a
phone auto dialer.
A total of 79 (14%) of the 911 calls
received in 2013 were classified as
kids playing with the phone. These
calls were a combination of small
children playing with phones and
prank calls, made by youth, from pub-
lic pay phones.
Phone company repair crews
repairing a problem accounted for 39
(7%) of the 911 calls.
Region Criminal Operations
officers arrested 5 people with-
out incident.
Officers recovered a fully
loaded assault rifle, a quantity
of illegal street drugs and sto-
len property from the
residence.
This is an isolated incident.
There is no threat to public
safety.
The investigation is in its
early stages.
The South Bruce OPP is
requesting anyone with infor-
mation that can assist police to
cal11-888-310-1122. Should
you wish to remain anony-
mous, you can call Crime Stop-
pers at1-800-222-8477 (TIPS)
or send a web -tip to

may be eligible to receive a
