Straight A's for W.Van
police, firefighters

TOP MARKS have been
awarded to West Van-
couver’s protective services
by the municipality's chief
magistrate.
“My pride in
Vancouver is typified by the
fact that you can still walk
the streets of West Van-
couver with safety, night and
day,” said Mayor Derrick
‘Humphreys last week.
Humphreys, who is
running for a third term as
mayor in the November 20
elections, was commenting
on a recent B.C. Police
Commission report showing
that the crime rate in West
Van declined slightly last

~~ year, white “increasing”

significantly in the two other
North Shore municipalities.

“Our police department,”
he said, “is efficient, has
high morale and is doing an
excellent job. Compared to
other municipalities, crime
is being held in check.

“The advent of the police
dog squad this year has
resulted ina great deal of
wonderful work, both in
protection and finding lost
people,” he added.

The soft drug incident
among young people has
also materially decreased in
the past three years,
Humphreys noted.

“Concern, study and hard
work that started with the
police board - with ex-
celtent cooperation from the
school board, the resultant
Lifestyles Committee and
parent groups -- produced an
awareness of the prevalence
of drugs at that time,” he

“said. “The subsequent Drug—~generally-—-

and Alcohol Report has
been a most valuable tool in
education and the
diminishment of drug usage

locally.”

However, the mayor
warned, the matter of =
alcohol consumption by

youth is still a

tention of any parents whose
families might be involved.
Meanwhile,

“House fires,”
“have been
proper fire
programs and work by the
men of the department on a

he sajd,
reduced by

continuing daily basis.
“Four years ago our
apartment areas, which

house many thousands, were
in a very poor condition of
fire alarm and fire protection

“An intensive campaign
has resulted in all the
apartments being protected
against smoke inhalation and
heat increase, and all are
due to be completed by
December 31 of this year.”
he said.
