TORONTO--OPP Com- missioner James Erskine has invited Ontario residents to visit one of their 16 district headquarters or 185 local OPP detachments during Police Week, May 9-15. The traditional open house held by the OPP will be repeated this year ta mark Police Week 1982. Many detachments will have displays showing how the men and women of the OPP serve their communities. The Police Week slogan this year is: "We are ail vic- tims of crime. " This theme will be stressed by police of- ficers right across the coun- try. "This year's slogan really hits the spot," saîd Commis- sioner Erskine. "We are al paying in the end, whether it's higher prices in stores ta compensate for shoplifting, higher insurance premîums ta pay for stolen cars or higher taxes ta pay for vandalized schools." ( Iappei 119.5 SMany of the police displays in various shopping mails will emphasize how- people can help themnselves by tryîng te prevent- crime. From a youngster who makes sure he padlocks hýs bike ta the cot- tage owner who marks his pr operty and records serial numbers of valuabie items, everyone can play a part in reducing crime. The people of Ontario value the safe way of life ta which they have become ac- customed.: With support fromn the public, the police are better able ta preserve the public peace. "Police forces are moving more and more ta proactive policing, or striving ta pre- vent crime rather than just catch the criminals after- wards," explains Commis- sioner Erskine. "But the finest technology and latest police equipment are useless without the help of a concerned community."
