Real detective life isn't like that according to Martin Turpin. Turpin, an ex-Toronto Metro police officer turned private detective, and bas recently opened his own detective agency in Whitby. Sumar Investigations, iocated at 211 Brock Street South, is Turpin's dream corne true.

Working for the "Ioid clothes" division Turpin had to dress in ail manner of disguises to bien in with t.he enviroments which he had to keep under surveilance. Af ter he left the force he moved to Whitby in 1975 and bas since dreamed of becoming a private eye. "I was born in Newfoun- dan and it's every Newfoundlander's dream to become an R.C.M.P. officer since that is the only polic we have there. " He eventually had to settie for joining the navy. In 1965 he moved to Toronto and put in bis application for the Metro police.

"I couid just be there en- joying a beer like him and not on the job at ail but he wouldn't know that. " To become a private in- vestigator one must have some background in the field of police work, said Turpin. He applied to the Ontario Provincial Police in Toronto where his application was examined and after 8-12 weeks his licence was gran- ted. 'Being a private in- vestigator is not like being Barnaby Jones or James Garner because you have to work for a living and my cases aren't written out of me In a script." Detective work involves a lot of surveilance work and a certain amount of Urne in courts. 1"4n moet situations when a case you are working on goest to court you are a wit- ness and you must go to be cross-examlned."
