Rise in crime from CRIME on popa A2 arc four Halton Regional Police officers that woîk within the institution, tdme of which are fundcd by the Province. Maplehurst is currcntly nearing capacity, and a continued sliglit crime inercase is cxpccted if il reaches cspacity, Chief Algar said. But this isn't anyshing the publie should be overly concerned about, lic said. "It's important to recognize the crime is in thc institution - it's not in the town of Milton," lie said. "This lias nothing to do with the safety and weUl-being of Milton." Hilton lias one of the lowest ratios of officers to civilians in thc provmnce, Chief Algar report- cd, whici lic said speaks 10 the efficicncy of the service and die partncrships within the cominu- nity. "This commianity is supportive of tise police," lie said. Howcver, over thc ncxt thrce years it's expeet- cd thcre'll lie an "exodus" of officers, Chief Algar said, mostly due ta oIder officers leaving. And as Halton's population increases, thc number of job applications thec police service is rceiving decreases. Chief Algar said lic's not sure wliy that is, but it presents a challenge. Future priorities for Uic Halton Regional Police Service will lie its ongoing response to terrorism threats, its focus on traffie safety and enfoivemcnt, and its targcting of oirganized crime - sucli as motorcycle gangs - and mar- ijuana grow operations. counicil heard.
