WEST VANCOUVER
Police can be forgiven
if they’re a little tired
of ink.

Through the six days of
the special Police Week
display last week, police
finger-printed children at a
rate of one kid every minute
and a half.

And that, says Cst. Dave
Marskell, is more than the
police were counting on.

In all, police finger-
printed 2,800 kids over the
six days spent at Park Royal
mall as they became the first
Lower Mainland police force
to offer the special child
identification program.

Under the program,
children’s finger-prints and
vital statisics are entered on
a special form that is kept by
the parents If a child goes
missing, thaty information
can be quickly made

likening over the weekend. Races, which started just below the Hatchery, pitted kayakers their search cfforts
like the one above as much against the river as they did against other paddlers. Marskell says that the
2,800 children who showed
up for the identification
process reptesent a

substantially larger number
than police were expecting

figured we might have at
