“I quite frankly can’t com- prehend the necessity for the wording of council's resolu- tion,” he told commission members. ' "And I definitely take ex- ception to the wording of the resolution which indicates that the York Region Police has failed to follow up re- peated requests for action. Chief Crawford told the commission that he was at "a loss to understand the extremely critical note of the resolution particularly the part that says the reg- ional police failed to follow up repeated requests. I know of no such requests for addi- tional police nor does the inspector for the division concerned." He suggested that the commission should consid- er “requesting Vaughan Council members to appear before the board and sub- stantiate their claim.” The chief came armed with preliminary report figures carried out over a six month period following the com- plaints which included the general area encompassing the main street of Wood- bridge. He said a complete report would be available soon. It was the latter resolution that stirred up Chief Craw- ford: “I find the wording of this resolution totally unaccept- able and verging on being irresponsible." Accompanying the petition was a separate resolution from Vaughan Town Council concurring with the residents‘ requests and also accusing the York Region Police “of failing to bring the main street of Woodbridge under control despite repeated re- quests.“ The resolution goes on to ask that a senior officer of the police department carry out a complete investigation and then advise council of the results. Chief Crawford stated “em- phatically that at no time have I had a request to put more police in Woodbridge." Pointing out that the fig- ures were only preliminary ones. the chief said he would be happy if “someone has more information than I have regarding the situation. I feel the board should call upon council to explain its claims." Chief Crawford said he in no way had any quarrel with the petition from the resi- dents which had been direct- ed to councillors whosent it on to the police commission. The preliminary figures â€"- drawn from a period between March 1 and August 31 (about He stated the preliminary figures indicated to him that “Woodbridge is certainly not rampant with crime Although that is not to say that there is some disorderliness as there is in any small com- munity. But in no way are there any indications that citizens are afraid to walk down the street." The petition. signed by 125 residents. requested that “Im- mediate attention bc paid to the deplorable conditions allowed to remain in this district, mainly a certain element disturbing our peace and sleep with loud cars, motorcycles and foul lanâ€" guage,” His comments came Tues- day night of last week as the York Region Police Commission received a pefi- tion from residents of the former Police Village of W0 0 d brid ge complaining about the lack of police con- trol on its main street. York Region Police Chief Bruce Crawford has termed recent criticism of his de- partment by Vaughan "Town Council as “verging on be- ing irresponsible”.

It complained of some of- ficers unnecessarily preying upon some motorists attempt- ing to park on the Main Street. handing out too many tickets, and telling of com- plaints from businesses af- raid that purchasers would be driven out of town. The letter also requested a resident policeman which Chief Crawford interpreted as “having a policeman live right in the village,” Member Gordon Cook commented that com- plaints about police over- enforcing the law was a familar one. “You get complaints about too little and then you get com- plaints about too much." Mr. Rumble noted that the charge that the police was failing to perform its duty was a very serious one and “we should have council or representatives of council speak to us." Commission C h a i r m a n Judge William Lyon observ- ed that “none of us are try- ing to duck the problems. We just want to get to the bottom of it. If this is a legitimate complaint then its our job to try to understand just what that problem is. Maybe we can get the in- formation to substantiate the claims if we talk to council." He added that statistics “don’t necessarily tell the whole story and this is why we should ask members of council to come here and see if we can get some further insight into the matter. Mn Twinney felt it would be more of a gesture of courtesy on the part of the commission if they sent Chief Crawford to talk to council initially. Chief Crawford also told the commission that he had received a communication from Vaughan Councillor Ab Hollingshead who resides in Wood‘bridge along with fellow Councillor Fred Armstrong. Commission Member Ray Twinney inquired if there was any loitering bylaw in Woodbridge. “There isn‘t but we would certainly be delighted if there was one," answered Chief Crawford. “If this didn't satisfy coun- cil and the public then they could come to us.” he said. Chief Crawford noted that there was some problems caused by a hotel on the main street but said the police were able to control any major problems such as swearing or unruliness. Mr. Cook inclined to agree stating that “council has ap- proached the board with the problem. If you have a prob- lem you go to regional coun- cil. it doesn‘t come to you. I don’t see where there‘s any great difference there." The commissioners agreed to invite council to appear before them at a later date and also to mail them the final figures regarding the police survey prior to any meeting. “This indicates in no way to me that the town is run- ning wild,” he said.
