opened up the Western
Canadian portion of this
continent. And Canada
covers a very large
"portion" of North

SEAFORTH - The- quiet
internal struggle which
has been brewing bet-
ween the town's police
committee and the
Seaforth police force has
been put on the back
burner after supported a
resolution to have the
Ontario Police Com-
mission (OPC) in-
vestigate the local force.
Council is asking the
OPC to "conduct an in-
formal investigation of
the Seaforth Police
Department concerning
morale, discipline and
administration of the
department as well as the
relationship between the
police committee and the
police department."
Councillor Gerald
Groothuis, a member of
the , ' police committee,
noted at the council
meeting that the in-
vestigation could take up
ac to a year before
results are known. The
commission is currently
conducting several
similar studies
throughout the province.
Seaforth Police Chief
John Cairns said he was
both surprised and
pleased by the decision to
have the investigation.
"I think it's going to be
good for the next council
corning in," he said. "I
felt they (the com-
mission) should have
come in before now, but I
couldn't call them. It's
not my place."
Chief Cairns is con-
cerned at the inclusion of
the terms "morale" and
"discipline" in the
resolution.
"We're a very small
department," he ex-
plained, "and we've got
to work together, which is
very difficult on the
discipline side. I've had
no discipline problems.
s.
Just petty stuff, which the
guys were told about."
"If I'm wrong; I'll be
the first to admit it,"
added Chief Cairns. "But
investigations hurt
morale more than
anything."
