Norma Coutts and Margaret Seaforth police un .. er investigation 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."
