TS, WEST VANCOUVER police chief Joe Hornell is counting the days — 30 of them — untij he trades in his badge and corner office at the West Vancouver police station for the tools of the gold mining trade. MARK HAMILTO On Apnl 30, Hornell steps down after a decade of being West Vancouver’s top cop, proud of what he and the force have accomplished over that time but a little dismayed about the future policemen face. “When I got hefe 10 years, I told the police board that I would do my best to develop a_ great force,’’ Hornell says. ‘‘I’m retiring now, partly, because [to a great extent I’ve ac- complished that.’’ ‘‘I’ve reorganized the department and now, with all due respect, | think we have probably the finest department in the province. Morale is high, we have new equipment and new facilites. It seems like a good time to go.”’ For Hornell. his reture- ment at the end of this month will end a long career in policing. He joined the B.C. provincial police on his 21st birthday — he’s now 46 — and he’s been policing ever since.

Hornell has warm words for everyone involved in that process of change — from the mavors and police boards down to the indi- vidual members of a force where everyone is on a first-name basis. Hornell will miss that camaraderie as he will miss his third-storey office with the view of Ambelside Park and the harbor. But he is not optimistic about the future for policing, saying such recent federal legislative changes as the Young Offenders Act and search and seizure pro- visions will handcuff police. He will not be overly- worried, however. Retire- ment means a placer-mining business deal with a friend, a chance to enjoy his en- thusiasm as a boater and a chance to use the golf clubs given him by his wife a year ago and, so far, unused. And that’s why Joe Hornell is counting the days. we * marine or Vanceuve!
