Huron to join centra police system The Huron County police communications system will be upgraded later this month when a computer system linking it to central police files in Ottawa is installed. The terminal. to be located at the communica- tion network's nerve centre in Goderich, will let municipal police in Goderich, Exeter. Clinton, Sealorth and Wingham get information from the Cen- tral Police Information Cen- tre (CPIC) instantly. The Huron system, in operation nearly 14 months, is the first of its kind that links small municipal forces together on a country -wide radio network. A constable on a beat in Exeter, for in- stance, is able to com- municate directly with his counterpart on the streets of Wingham. The $6.000 installation cost is being shared by the On- tario police commission and the federal government. In its first months of operation. the Huron system has tapped into CPIC through the Goderich provin- cial police detachment, an arrangement that according to Goderich Police Chief Pat More Zurich Continued from page 2 weeks, due to her foot and we all wish her the Best.

King .points out that the provincial police computer is sometimes tied up with requests for information and local forces have occasional- ly had to wait several minutes before getting infor- mation. "Co-operation has been excellent." he said of the arrangement with the provincial police. "but we can now be even more ef- ficient because it will cut down our waiting time." Calling the CPIC terminal a tremendous tool to fight crime. King said informa- tion about individuals or vehicles can be obtained in seconds. The communications system. working on a 1980 budget of $86,800, has produced "excellent results from the police point of view," King said. It has helped police deal with out- of-towners who commit crimes in the county. Liaison among the five chiefs is maintained through meetings every six weeks, he said. and municipal of- ficials from Huron's five town also get together fre- quently to iron out minor operational difficulties. King said the new equip- ment is due in Goderich July 31 with an in-service date ex- pected two weeks later. The Goderich chief's praise for the Huron system was echoed by Exeter Police Chief Ted Day. Day said he has seen an improvement in his force's fight against crime with the 24-hour communication network. He said there was some in- itial confusion among town residents about how the system worked (they simply dial the local police number, which gives them the dis- patcher in Goderich) but "they're getting used to it." At the Ontario police com- mission. Neil MacKinnon, director of technical ser- vices, said Friday the com- puter is being supplied because the Huron system is a proven. 24-hour network. He noted that the federal government is contributing part of the cost of linking into CPIC because the RCMP in Ottawa owns and maintains the system's com- puter hardware. itizens News, July 10, 1980 'ase 5 Successful Executives know, a meeting can be more productive in the right atmosphere.
