e4weekenjderjsjekftiberm 1985 weekender eminent crawford goes out with bang is this york regional police chief bruce crawfords last stand it must be how else can we explain the rationale behind his charging 39 police officers with insubordination for wearing baseball caps and commemora tive arm bands at the same time during the forces current worktorule cam paign it seems that the chief in his wisdom decided that a little blackmail was in order to bring his recruits back to their senses never mind that the black arm bands were in memory of a fallen officer whose murderers have yet to be apprehended the chief decided it was time to make a stand and so chief crawford declared that if the police constables wanted to wear black armbands for the week of aug 19 to 25 theyd have to don regulation caps this strikes us as a poor way to carry on negotiations and a certain way to antagonize the police officers into furth er and perhaps more defiant action it also damages what little morale that is left within on a force that is already over worked and understaffed chief crawfords act of disciplining and perhaps even firing the 39 officers is vindictive and counterproductive the york regional police commissioners should immediately rescind the chiefs charges and make a public apology 7 tjeenduc speaking out how would you rate prime minister brian mulroneys performance after
