$ better relations
between public, police
Magistrate Glenn (lays, RC, I
.speaking to Exeter Kinsmen
Thursday night, suggested ef-
forts should be made to estab-
lish better relations between
the public and the police.
I e expressed . . essed concern at:
�
what appears to be a growing;
antagonism against the con-.
stabulary and he urged general
discussion of the problem to
bring about a better under-
standing.
The Goderich magistrate felt
the public should be aware of
the responsibility which a
policeman has to his eommun
ity andthat they should judge
his actions on the basis of.
general welfare; .not on their
personal involvement,
He also indicated that every
policeman should "try to un-;
derstand the viewpoint of the
public."
"An .efficient police force,
which has a healthy relation-
ship with the public, is the
very lifeblood which keeps all
other governmental services
and, indeed, our very way of
1
"Feir"to whom?
The magistrate noted that
the question of a police officer,,,
magistrate or other judicial
official being "fair" is grossly'
misunderstood. People suggest
an officer is "fair'" if he lets
them get away with a viola-
tion without a charge. "Ask
yourself: 'fair to whom?'
suggested the magistrate, "Is
he being fair to the other
motorists an the road? Is he'
being fair to the other driver ;.
to whom he gave a ticket for
a similar offence?"
The police officer would lay
no .charges, gives out no tickets
might become the most popu-
lar constable but he would cre-
ate chaotic conditions.
A similar situation applies
p lies
to those who think they are
being good Samaritans when.
they refuse to testify against,
another driver who has vio-
lated the .law, Yet if their child;
was killed by a drunk driver
they would be angry if other
persons failed to do their duly •
to see that the culprit was,
brought to justice.
