North Vancouver ‘City
aldermen get their way
volunteers will police them
instead.

Three aldermen were -
absent dest: = “wll as the
remainder unanimously
endorsed calling upon the
provincial Attorney-General
to lift a_ three-year
moratorium on auxilljary
police constables. ™

The decision was initiated
by the Belle CaraJaycees who
have been pushing local

authorities for two years (@

end the federaily-imposed

moratorium.

The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police have not
accepted further volunteers
to their auxiliary forces since
the moratorium was imposed
out of concerns for
liabilities, insurance
coverage, classification,
training standards and
authority.

Alderman Ralph Hall was
one enthusiastic supporter of
council’s decision. “I know
in North Vancouver City the
word ‘volunteer’ has gone
out of style,” he told council.

“The unions don't like the
word and neighbours don’t

want to D get involved. "But to
me, helping your neighbour ,
is the best, really, you can,
do.”.

- According to Jaycee:
Program Chairman Neil
MacLean, there are more
than 1,100 auxiliary con-
stables in 120 detachments
throughout B.C. In 1978 the
volunteers saved the force
more than $4 million
through working 229,000
hours.

Another strong supporter
was Alderman Stella Jo
Dean, long known for her
involvement with local
crime-prevention efforts.

“A police presence,
whether regular or auxilliary,
I think is a real deterrent to
crime,” she said.

Said Mayor Jack Loucks:
“Td rather have a police
auxiliary than the Guardian
Angels, who could be a real
problem.”

The auxilliary constables’
main purpose is to assist
“regular members” of the
force in the execution of
their duties.

These may include school
and park patrols, crowd and

ticketing, making arrests,
attending court, carrying
firearms and general police
duties.

Loucks said he understood
that at the time of the
moratorium . there were
concerns that the volunteers
were acting more like full-
time police officers.

But Dean said -that the:
biggest concern was insuring
the volunteers, and a talk
with B.C. internal security
head Robin Bourne con-
vinced her that insurance
was a “small problem”.

Loucks also found time to
praise the efforts of local
volunteers.

“{ think there is stil] a lot
of volunteerism in the
community in other areas,”
he said in general rebuttle to
Hall’s earlier remarks.
