as d more. sophisticated, •he
noted.] In Ontario police have
done "a .,nightly good ,job."
As an example of how police
try to stem the criminal tide,
Mr. Bell briefly explained the
Canadian Police Information
Centre (CPIC), a huge -com-
putor network based in Ottawa.
Data about criminals is fed
into the crime cornputor con-
stantly. •Within 'minutes a
police officer can have complete
information :.about a criminal
or suspected criminal.
Sometimes it was difficult to
hear what Mr. Bell was saving.
Someone finally, turned off a
large exhaust fan which was
making most of •the. noise.
Mr. Bell said there are about
• 160 CPIC terminals in Ontario
now: They help -police even the
odds against sophisticated
criminals.

One problem police face
when fighting crime-is'a public
"toleration of evil" which ham-
pers criminal investigations.
"We pay the price for it," Mr.
Bell stressed.
The public can't resign itself
to allowing police to do 'all
crime fighting. , .
"'Police are the people and.
le -lire the police," he said.
In line' with this thinking,
there has. -,been a • "tremendous
upsurge in the' last_ to years ih
police qualifications": ---Officers
have to be professionals' "�a,nd
gentlemen. •
They have to be, as -about
800 per cent of anofficer's time
in Toronto is spent'perfarming
duties other than- criminal _jn-
vestigations.
•
Police have become what Mr:
, Bell terms "a social factor in
the community". A better
calibre of men are joining
police forces. Because of this
better salaries have to be of-
fered to keep them joining.
Policing is becoming "the
fastest growing cost to the
people of Ontario," -Mr. Bell
said.
There is no rush of rnen wan-
ting to -become palic_'e officers in.
„spite of excellent pay arta
benefits, as the job is
"distasteful" to many people. A
Policeman's time is not his
own. He is always on call, Mr.
Bell said.
Mr. Bell declined comment
on the recent Ontario -task force
recommendation that such
.0
small town. forces as the one in
Goderich, be abolished 'and
replaced by larger regional for-
ces or the Ontario Provincial
Police. •
Until the provincial govern-
ment takes an official stand on
the ip.sk force- report, he
thoutfit it would 'be •improper
for him to comment. -
Mr. Bell did .hint that larker
police forces loom iri-the future..
' You can depend upon it
that there will be larger police
areas across Ontario,"rhe said.
Experience teaches that for-
ces must unitellir quicker and
better 'communication's, he ex-
plained.
"Only in this • way are we
going'to control the problems of
a rapidly urbanized province,"
he added.
e But ,this will not he enough
to enable police tci continuer
fighfing crime effectively.
Mr. Bell warned against
"liberal bleeding hearts" who,
'always •worry about the
criminals and not the victims.
"Let's give the police a
break," he said.

Mr. Bell said • that one
frustration that is hampering
police investigations is the
recent invasion .of -privacy bill
that bans effective use of
,wiretaps; The wiretap was used
for .:Fathering evidence about
criminals not private citizens.
