Radio
system
sought
Clinton will seek to have a
county -wide police radio
dispatch system located in
Clinton,. deputy -reeve Frank
Cook revealed at a meeting of
Clinton council last Thursday
night. •
Deputy Reeve Cook who is
head of the town's police
committee, said his com-
mittee had drawn up a
proposal along - with plans,
that 'would be given to the
other four towns prior to a
county -wide meeting set for
September 14 at McKay Hall
in Goderich.
Cook said he couldn't
release' any more details of
the plan to the press until the
other towns had seen the
proposal, and discussed it at
the meeting.
Earlier this summer, the
Goderich Police Commission
had initiated a meeting
between chiefs of the five
Huron County towns - Clinton,
Seaforth, Wingham, Goderich
and Exeter, about setting up
a central dispatch radio
system for use by all the
towns, and had suggested
locating it in Goderich.
But several other towns,
including Exeter and Clinton,
had expressbd interest in a
more central location, such
as Clinton.
The mid-September
meeting is open to all the
elected officials from the five „
towns.
"I hope the whole (Clinton)
council will be there .to back
us up," Cook said.
Currently, each police force
has its own dispatcher, and
the Ontario Police Com-
mission said three years ago
that the system was
inadequate.
