ommunity policing came
into effect early this month
Effective April 1, all Ontario
Provincial Police detachments in
this district became involved in the
community -oriented policing initia-
tive.
The district is comprised of the
counties of Grey, Bruce, Wellington,
Perth and Huron, as well as the
major highways in the Region of
Waterloo.
Th
e OPP recognizes the impor-
tance of the community in police
operations, thus the community-
fotof.Lo,ioil o !lice oiooi
oriented policing concept.
Each OPP detachment will be
divided into geographic zones and
a constable will be assigned full
time to each zone. A zone will be
represented by a police advisory
committee made up of interested
citizens in the area. This committee
will aid the assigned constable in
identifying the policing problems.
This initiative nag been iet in
motion to respond to the policing
needs of the 1990s.
