Halton police earn crime fighting awards The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has been recognized with Awards of Excellence for Fighting Crime by the Ontario Crime Commission. The honours - which acknowledge exemplary members of police services and the community who are making a differ ence in the fight against crime - were hand ed out for three separate initiatives: Communities on' Phone Patrol (COPP), Project Let's Dance and the High Enforcement Repeat Offender (HERO) program in Halton Hills. As its name suggests. COPP is a com munity based, volunteer program where members patrol their respective municipal ities canying a cellular telephone. The pro gram was first initiated in Halton Region in 1997, with volunteers being selected, trained and put on active "duty." This partnership between citizens and police is centred around the concept that members of the community donate their own time to patrol in their own vehicles in identified concern or problem areas becoming the additional "eyes and ears" for the police - by observing and reporting. Through their vigilance, they provide intel ligence for police and monitor these areas of concern allowing the police to maximize their effectiveness to focus patrols when problems arise. Their efforts and successes over the past six years speak for themselves: patrolling crime areas; radar message board programs that help educate the public; patrols of GO commuter lots to reduce minor thefts and damages; seatbelt safety challenges gather ing compliance use information; road safe ty challenges, traffic surveys; as well as par ticipating in Waterfront Festival, Police Day, Canada Day events. Tmy Tots Parade at Halloween and Special Friends Day. In 2002 the Oakville team, under the supervision of a volunteer coordinator and Staff Sgt. Dave Gwilliams. contributed 3,236 hours of service to the Oakville com munity. These volunteer members are being recognized for their personal efforts to keep their neighbourhoods safe, and their commitment in giving unselfishly of their own time for the betterment of their com munities. The volunteers recently received a Halton Regional Police Silver Jubilee award for their dedication and community support For further information, please contact them at 905-825-4747 ext. 2220. For several years, police in Burlington had recurring problems at a local nightclub, NRG, dealing with out-of-town gang mem bers coming to into town to that nightclub. In 2000. Sgt. Paul Gamer responded to the unresolved issues that arose from the bar, and coordinated the HRPS response. Project Let's Dance. The project successful ly dealt with the crime, fear of crime, vio lence, drugs and social disorder in the neighbourhood that originated from that all ages nightclub. The project was a direcf result of the coordinated response of 28 partners, which included citizens, government officials, business leaders, community leaders, social support agencies and the Halton Regional Police, with the goal of restoring this neigh bourhood's quality of life. The project has reduced crime by over 80 per cent over three years and increased the enforcement level. The project contin ues at the club on Saturday nights year round. In 2002, the NRG project was also the winner of the Police Executive Research Forum Herman Goldstein Award as well as the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Community Policing Award. The l District Street Crime Unit devel oped the HERO program in January 2003 following the realization that a small core group of offenders were responsible for a disproportionate number of crimes. There are five main components of the program: enforcement on targeted offend ers ensuring current release or probation conditions are being carried out; coordina tion where HERO coordinates and unites the already existing efforts of police, crown attorneys, probation/parole officers, offend er families, schools, and local community resources; support to both the offender and encourages the families of the offender to actively participate in the process; offender driven where enforcement activity levels are in direct proportion to the behaviour of the offender, and offender ownership, an innovative new approach to police service delivery by police taking responsibility and `ownership' of the offenders themselves, rather than specific incidents. The results of this program reveal that during the first quarter o f2003, Halton Hills (Georgetown and Acton) experienced a dra matic 28 per cent drop in reported property crimes. In addition, the percentage of reported crimes that police were able to solve rose to 58 per cent the highest in Halton Region. The HERO program was also recently honoured with the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) Community Policing Award.
