ATTORNEY General Ujjal Dosanjh decision to disarm
this province's volunteer police auxiliaries some three
weeks ago has raised some interesting debate on the issue
of public safety. Dosanjh told the media that the reserves
were never intended to be out there with guns and that
he wouldn’t want them confronted with a dangerous sit-
_ uation, putting “them and the public in harm’s way.” I
suppose the immediate image that might justify such a
statement is one of semi-trained officers drawing their
weapons in situations that their. full-time counterparts
would not. So, what exactly is the level of training that
‘the auxiliaries receive and how many “incidents” have there been? Presumably these
“questions will be answered by a study that is apparently underway, but why the dis-
arming | before the information i is released i in September?
