HAL JENKINS “says the Wesi Vancouver Police Department

Js one of the best in Canada.

kins: his own words

= Hew does: the West Vancouver
Police . Department - compare | -

._ with, other . police departments:

yn ‘terms .of person. offences,
we're ‘clearly one of the, safest ‘

~. (gunicipalities) if not the safest.
: “We literally pride ourselves
“on the absence of crime. Our

rate of break-ins i in this town is ©

such that in some~ cases: peo-
ple’s insurance. rates are lower
as a result.’? ‘

Why. did. you "choose police
“work as a career?: “From a
very young age my sole ambi-

“tion was to-join the RCMP. It.
was alittle unusual in that 1°

\ was born and raised on a farm
iin Ontario and 1 don’t’ think I
“ever laid eyes on ‘an RCMP

member. .
_ “My thoughts of being a po-
liceman were established in my

‘mind at such an early age that
‘J can’t recall any decision pro-

cess at all.”

What is the origin of the term
“chicf constable?”: ‘‘That’s
very much a traditional thing.

“Our common-law principles
were based. on English law. A
lot of police departments, par-
ticularly our American cousins,
refer to themselves as chiefs of,
police.

“But the. common-law prin-
ciples that are in place refer to
chief. constables and, as a
result, we in Canada choose to

retain it as chief constable.”
