it as part of the job. As they
work, uniformed members of
the A watch, on duty tonight,
wander in and out, complain-
ing, about the slowness of the
night. The police radio
squawks occasionally, once
directing a uniform to check
out a noisy house party.

“We got to get out there,”’
says Herman. ‘‘Things are
starting tq heat up.’’

But things don’t heat up.

At 1:10 am. the unit is
back on the road. At 1:15
a.m. there’s some high-speed
driving to provide back-up
for  Mountie investigating a
dispute at a gas station.

At 4:25 a.m.,: after some
fumbling to find: the switches
for the siren and lights, Her-
man has pulled over a Honda
full of kids. ID is checked
and four bottles of beer
confiscated.

At 1:40 a.m. there’s
another call, this time to a
family dispute in Lynn
Valicy.

Twenty minutes later it's
back imto the Lynn Valley
watershed to check the loca-

there, indicating a gathering
of some kind has taken place,
but all that the police car
flushes out are two young
lovers in a Cherokee.

At 2:15 a.m., with no wild
parties to deal with, no call
for walk-throughs of licenced
premises and no demand for
some of the other duties of
the enforcement unit, we're
parked in a bus zone, across
the street and three lots away
from the bootlegger’s house.

We're watching as a young
man comes down the hill
from the house, carrying a
