e~iwanis Chu The following ddress on the activities of Durbain Regional Police's Safety Bureau was gîve at Bo6wmanville Kiwanis Club on May l2th, by Con- kstable Don Anderson, the ýafety Officer: SGentlemen - "After serving on the Bow- manville Police Dept. for 16 yrs. and 1 year with the Durham Regional Police Force, as a general duties constable I have recentiy been tran.sferred to th e Safety Bureau. "The Bowmanville Dept. was rather limited in man- power and every man was needed for the everyday service required of a police dept. Special sections of the dept. such as Identification, Traffic, Morality, Fraud and Safety Bureau, to name a few, were impossible, to impie- ment, Regionalization bas offered these many necessary ser- vices to the public. I would hike to take a few minutes to acquýain1t you with the type of service offered by .a Safety ,Offieer. -Many of you no doubt bave chiltiren in the Elementary Schùols and possibly wonder ýat times just what goes on when the Safety Officer visits ,the classroom. I think tha t one of our most important functions is that we are making ourselves avail- able tothe students, they are able to talk to us, ask questions and, in general, they corne to realize that the policeman is human, frienclly, and hives a life similar to that of other people. Before the classroom contact the pupîl may neyer have spoken to a policeman. He was simply a ,man in unifrom driving past in a patrol car. In the classroom the safety officer meets them as a fniend and talks to them about policemen, laws, safety rules. Often films, slides, photo- graphs and the chalk board are used. We try to keep the visits timely. Early in the school termi safety rules for pedestrians and cychists are -stresseti. As winter approach- .es we talk about the dangers of ,thin ice on the ponds and creeks. In the Spring, bicycles are the topic. Ab Meeting In Kindergarten we simply make friends with the children and try to put down the often used "the policeman will take you away if your flot good" image that mnany parents employ. As we progress to the older grades we preach safety rules, using Elmer the safety ele- phant as an aid. In the senior grades we urge students to set good examples for the young- er children. In grade 8 we don't deal with safety rules as much but rather make ourselves avaîl- able for group discussions and question perîods. You would be surprised at the interest in such subjects as Capital Punishment, Traffic Laws and Liquor Laws. We, as Safety Offîcers, are dressed in breaches and leggings, the uniform usualiy worn by, motorcycle policeman. These items, along with the rçst of the police uniform, are always of great interest to ahl grades. I don't suppose we will ever know how successful Our contacts are with the student in terms of safety. We can only hop e that our repititious taling about the good old safety rules will bave the desired effeet in avoiding serious injury or death. One thing I do know is that students are having the oppor- tunity to know their policemen as friends. Aside from classroom con- tacts Safety Officers can be found talking to Cubs, Scouts, Brownies, Guides and other similar groups. We man safety displays at shopping centres, Home Shows, a to service clubs, assist. with Bike-aThons etc. We are planning extensive instructions for pupils and teachers concerning travel by bus. We have found that there is much more involved in a bus trip to Metro Zoo or such than simply filling the bus with pupils and a cou ple of teachers andi taking off the day. The teachers and pupils are to be instructed as to conduct on the bus and also acquainted with safety fea- tures of the vehicle. Possibly ahl of you present have been in Oshawa when students are moving to and from school. If so you have seen our School Safety Patrol- ALL INTERESTED PERSONS Are cordially invited to attend the OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONIES of The Pines Senior Public School (Highway 115 - Adjacent to Clarke High Sehool) in the General Purpose Room WednesdayMa y 28,1975 atl7:30 p.m. GUEST SPEAKER Hlonourable T.

Since I have been on the Safety Bureau and have hati a better opportunity to study the patrol system in action I am frrnly convinced that Bowmanvi îe should make use of the Safety Patrol System. The first Oshawa Patrol was started at Westmount School in 1934. To date there has not been an accident at a Patrol crossing with a Patroller on dutv. In the Region at present we have 1600 students on patrol, each patroller spending about 100 hours a year on crossing duty. In the Elementary system in the Region with patrollers we have 25,000 pupils crossing the roatis 4 times each school day, that is 100,000 pupils per day crosseti by patrollers. I must stress one fact - no boy or girl on patrol is ever on the road. Their duties are performed, at the curb, con- trolline! the flow of students, I m'~ :l ~ ~I'i'1'J liii ~ mi: ~I~Ij~j i ~ J1 i : [Ij','~ and SAVE on heatingo costs!, Nash Ef offers you F R e. e * e Free Service e Free labour * Free annual furnace cleaning " Free emergency oil humer service 24 hours a day PARTS REPLACEMENT PLAN only $15 Also - gasoline'- fuel oil diesel fuel stove oiu und f arm equipment. NASH FELS 244 Gliddon Ave. 7OSHAWA,68 ~GC not traffic. They do not take the place of an adult guard. rather they work with adult guards, work at intersections, traffic lîghts, cross-walks, and on buses. No doubt all of you have, at one time or another, passed the cross-walk in front of Ontario St. School. You .rnay have founti yourself stopped while pupils crossed in a steady stream. With the help of patrollers in charge of this cross-walk the children would cross the roati in regulated groups. I have just found that whole schools are more safety con- scious when Patrollers are used. Children must obey the patrollers or risk being report- ed and dealt with either by the teacher in charge or a safety officer. Patrollers are given dem- erit points for poor attend- ance, lateness etc. and each year prizes are given to the best school patrol and best patrollers. Each s pring a Jamboree is held at t he Civic Auditorium for all Regional Patrollers. They dance, eat bot dogs, drink pop and the top patroller from each school is presenteti with a watch. Next week the top patroller from each school along with Safety Officers andi teachers will travel to Ottawa for a National Patrol Convention,. where there will be marching competition, and sight-seeing. For one week each summer the student who will be Patrol Captain, in each school next term attends a one week camp, this summer at Camp Samac where they are given extensive training in all patrol duties. They attend cass each morning and partakç in sports during theafternoun. Patrollers and safety officers also attend front Metro, Barrie and Orillia. Monies to operate Salety Patrols come from the School Boards, the Ontario Motor League, Council and Service Clubs. It doesn't require a lot of rnoney to operate such a progrant consîdiering the ser- vice rendered to the commtun- ity. If such a progrant were started in Bowmanville, and 1 sincerely hope it wilh, a club such as yours might wish to hielp by putting up a trophy, offering jackets to the* best patrol, sending patrollers to Ottawa or Carfip or many other ways.
