J. H. Shepherd Who is in charge of the 25-man provincial police force at Grand Bend for the summer months in referring to activities on Civic Holiday weekend. A year ago on the same date, thousands of visitors to the popu- lar summer resort jammed the streets on the Saturday night and additional police were called in to quell a riot. The large and efficient police force this summer along with much stiffer fines for liquor and disturbance offences has helped to keep the Bend streets quiet and orderly, The weekly report issued by the Grand Bend OPP detachment shows the force was kept busy with numerous investigations and calls for assistance. The OPP boat and Grand Bend officers were called out on three occasions to help distressed sail- ors on the waters of Lake Huron. A 15 foot sail boat upset off the shores of Grand Bend and was. towed in by the officers along with a seaplane that ran into difficulty. Six thefts were reported, the most serious being a $250 watch taken from a cottage. An out- board motor and a bicycle that had been missing were recover- ed. Sgt, Shepherd said over the past couple of weeks the most items stolen were flags. During the week ending Aug- ust 13, GB officers spent a total of 1,028 hours on duty and chalk- ed up a total of 2,429 miles in patrols. A total of 58 convictions were secured In court, 11 of which were for liquor offences and the balance were mostly traffic charges as the result of radar operations on highways 21 and 81 in the Grand Bend area. The complete 25-man force will be leaving the Bend on Sep- tember 6 to return to their vari- ous localities for regular duty. At that time as part of the new provincial plan to have all small communities policed by Opp of- ficers, Grand Bend will receive policing services from the For- est detachment.
