Al0 - Wednesday, December 7. 1983 - North Shore News inquiring reporter by Ellsworth Dickson IN AN EFFORT to save $40 million, ICBC is no longer going to offer financing programs to its customers. Beginning in January, we will have to pay our insurance for the entire year. Today’s question ts: “‘How do you feel about ICBC eliminating installment plans: 2’’ Steve Waters North Vancouver It is going to be hard for some people, especially young men, who have Police study program to fingerprint kids AN IDENTIFICATION program that would allow parents to have a record of their children’s finger- prints may be put into operation by RCMP in B.C. next spring. Sgt. Dave Alderson, a member of regional RCMP headquarters staff, says the fingerprinting proposal is currently under study and that it may be made available to detachments throughout B.C. in 1984. ‘*We're sull in the process of studying the proposal and looking at the possible side effects,’’ Alderson told the News this week. Earlier press reports that said the program was being adopted by the RCMP were premature ac- cording to Alderson. But while discussions are “‘sull) very much in the preliminary stages,’’ Alder- son says Block Parent organizations have expressed interest in the fingerprinting. Under the program, already operating in some States and in at least one in- tenor B.C. RCMP detach- ment, parents could have their children fingerprinted by RCMP. The card bearing the fingerprints would be turned over to the parents and could then be used for identification purposes. ‘‘Actually,’’ says Alder- son, ‘it’s one of those pro- grams that we hope we'll never have to use.”’ The value of the parents having a record of their fingerprints would only come in the case of identifying runaways — or youngsters who have been killed. Alderson says that it ap- pears the program would work best if it was sponsored by a communtiy group such as Block Parents or a service club who would carry it out with help from the RCMP. Cpl. Don Jette, head of the North Vancouver detach- ment’s crime prevention pro- gram, says the detachment has so far received no infor- mation on the possible pro- gram from quarters.
