inviuageto c indenn v jstouffvtlle the trial programof putting policemen back on the beat in stouffville -has- been extended definitely in- the program according to police chief bruce crawford still has afew technical problems that have to be worked out he said he preferred not to specify what the technical problems were policemen were assigned to walk a beat for an experimental two week period to determine if it is feasible to put policemen back on the street in other areas of york region the day and evening shifts were assigned to walk main st the chief told the tribune he is not dissatisfied but not entirely satisfied with the way the foot patrols have worked out one problem has been that the officers have had to leave the cruisers unattended while they walk the street there was one incident where the cruiser was pelted with eggs j mr crawford said the local rounders present no c problem and that vandalism to the cars can be controlled we are trying to establish whether we can take a man and make him immobile and still serve the community the chief explained he said he is worried about the response time to calls when the officer has to walk back tohiscarv hh he said there has been quite a bit of mail to the police commission and it has been overwhelmingly in favor of keeping officers on foot patrol there have been letters from other towns urging the police to institute the program inthose communities they like the idea but vm not sosuretheyjl think so highly of it if there is a delay when they want a policeman chief crawford warned x he felt it would be pointless to continue if the officer is called back to his car every 15 minutes vol 89 no 18 whitchurch stouffville september 19m 20 cents 16 pages junior kindergarten underway this fall volunteer
