"The whole purpose of our traffic patrols„is to reduce traffic accidents and I am convinced that the efforts of the police officer on patrol are the main reason for the reduction in accidents,” said Commissioner Graham.

OPP officers laid 28,243 seat belt chargcPof es 7 last year,percs'nt anov•in- er �r 1979: Although accidents were down, crime figures showed a definite upswing.

The largest increase came in the category of fraud of- fences, up to 4,127 from 3,748 last year. This increase is explained in part by a December 1980 case in which one than was charged with 304 counts of . credit and: fraud. - Commissioner Graham noted that wilful damage of, fences decreased last year.
