New OPP station opens
GRAND BEND - One of the
busiest resort communities in
Ontario now has its own police
department.
Earlier this month, the doors
at the Grand Bend Ontario Pro-
vincial Police detachment
opened for what they hope to be
a quite summer.
Prior to the
move, the 12 -
month a year of-
fice was located
at the Pinery Pro-
vincial Park.
Grand Bend in
the past has had
its own detach-
ment in the sum-
mer but the new
one, located on Main Street will
now be year-round.
The Pinery office is closed
and Sgt. Gord Bruce and his
staff are enjoying the new, spa-
cious building in the village.
"It's going to take some time
to get used to," said Bruce. "The
Grand Bend people are extreme-
ly happy. Thedford and Port
Franks aren't as happy."
On May 17, Bruce and the
five full-time officers will be
joined by others who come from
across the province to make up
the summer complement of
three sergeants and 14 officers.
Bruce doesn't feel policing in
the area will change that much.
"I don't believe it will change at
all."
The new build-
ing has three "bull-
pen" holding
rooms another cell
for young offend-
ers and one for fe-
males.
"Young Offend-
ers have to be sep-
arated from the
adults," said
"The Grand
Bend people are
extremely happy.
Thedford and
Port Franks
aren't as
happy."

Bruce.
Prior to the new building,
which is the former Liquor
Store, the Grand Bend summer
detachment was housed in the
old tdwn hall which was
cramped and damp.
"It (the new one) was designed
as a police station. It's not a con-
verted town hall," said Bruce.
"Everything is laid out to flow."
