POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 7 From the Publisher “Providing quality, professional marketing and fund raising services on behalf of high-profile, non-profit organizations.” This guide was proudly assembled and published by Fenety Marketing Services, with the help and co-operation of the Police Association of Nova Scotia. Art Director - Kathy Gilbert Graphic Designer - Krista Allen 1-800-561-4422 I would like to congratulate the Police Association of Nova Scotia on the milestone accomplishment of the publication of their 35th Annual Community Guide. Each year, PANS publishes these Community Guides as a result of financial contributions from both residents of the province and business owners. With their generous support of our annual campaign, PANS is able to give back to their communities through donations to various local charities and youthoriented programs, in an effort to keep our youth from experiencing the negative effects of many of the topics discussed in these annual guides. The topic of this year’s guide focuses on the important and timely topic of Prescription Drug Abuse, which is increasingly becoming a real problem in our communities. We hear more and more stories in the news of pharmacies being robbed at gunpoint, not just for the cash, but now for the drugs. We hear stories of lives, young and old, being destroyed by addiction to prescription drugs. The problem seems to be getting worse before it gets better. On behalf of the Police Association of Nova Scotia, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each and every contributor of our 2005 Telephone Appeal, which allowed us to publish this 35th Annual Community Guide. As always, your comments and/or suggestions are always welcome regarding these publications, and we look forward to speaking with you again this year during our Annual Telephone Appeal. Respectfully, Mark Fenety President Fenety Marketing Services

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 27 A New Glasgow woman was stabbed Thursday afternoon that left police in a two-hour blockade outside a South Albert Street home. The woman had allegedly been stabbed in the neck following an argument between herself and the 35-year-old suspect, Jason Albert Reddick. The woman fled the home and was brought to the Aberdeen Hospital, said community policing officer Const. Ken MacDonald. “The Instrument used in the stabbing wasn’t really a knife, but it was a sharp-edged weapon,” MacDonald said. New Glasgow Police Service went to the home to serve Reddick with an arrest warrant following the stabbing incident. When they arrived at the house around 2 p.m., however, they heard the man may have had a weapon in the home. As a result, they called in the Containment Response Team and the K-9 unit. It marked the beginning of a two-hour blockade, which saw a half-a-dozen police cars close off South Albert Street. An ambulance was standing by, while the Mobile Command Centre for the Containment Response Team was also at the scene. The blockade ended when the Containment Response Team searched the home and couldn’t locate the suspect inside. “By the time police arrived, the suspect had fled the area unbeknownst to us at the time,” MacDonald said. The victim is still in hospital with serious but undetermined injuries. Reddick is still thought to be in the New Glasgow area and police are looking for him. Police do not consider him a large threat to the public but advise against approaching him. Anyone with any information in this matter is asked to contact New Glasgow Police Services or call Crime Stoppers. jvardy@ngnews.ca Lana MacEarchernThe Evening News Members of the Containment Response Team enter a South Albert Street home late Thursday afternoon. Police believed that Jason Albert Reddick was inside the home with a weapon, however, it turned out that the suspect had fled the scene before they arrived. Reddick is accused of stabbing a New Glasgow woman in a domestic disturbance. As originally published By Jennifer Vardy, The Evening News In the News... Police search for stabbing suspect

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 29 As originally published In the News... Fake cheques show up in New Glasgow NEW GLASGOW: Blank cheques stolen from Atlantic Meat Packers in Sydney have surfaced in Pictou County. The New Glasgow Police Service is advising businesses across Nova Scotia to be aware of the cheques. Cst. Ken MacDonald says the suspect who stole the cheques has a dollar amount electronically printed on them. He says the suspect also printed a name and address on the cheques of someone whose identity he also stole. “There’s so many different scams out there,” Cst. MacDonald says. “In this case, the suspect stole the identify - the name and address. There’s a good possibility more cheques are out there, so we want to make other businesses aware.” The New Glasgow police were notified last week after the suspect passed two cheques worth $822 each, along with fake identification, at two New Glasgow businesses and was able to get back groceries as well as cash. Another transaction was completed with a stolen cheque in Antigonish. “It looks like a real cheque,” Cst. MacDonald says. “With technology more available, the scams are becoming more sophisticated. People can access the different equipment and the different paper.” Cst. MacDonald said the cheques redeemed by the suspect successfully passed through security in place at grocery stores but might have been intercepted by banks and other lending agencies. “There’s a lot of security of cheques in place, but most people can’t tell the difference,” he said. No charges have been laid, Cst. MacDonald said. “We’re in the preliminary stages of this,” he said. The New Glasgow Police Service’s investigation is continuing. Anyone with information regarding the case is being asked to contact the New Glasgow police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. steve@pictouadvocate.com By Steve Goodwin, The Evening News FAKE CHEQUE!

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 31 In the News... Drivers are advised to carry safety kits in cars A $20 investment could save your life. That’s the approximate cost of an emergency car kit, which police are recommending all motorists ensure they have in their vehicles. Ken MacDonald, community policing officer with New Glasgow Police Services, said the kits are particularly important this time of year. “We’re right around the Christmas holidays, which is a very key travelling time,” MacDonald said. “People are on the roads going to visit family and friends. Gas stations and businesses along the way may be closed, and we’ve already had a large snowfall earlier than we normally do.” Something that you won’t find in the kits are cellphones, but MacDonald recommends that drivers keep a charged cellphone with them while they are on the road. “Some cellphone packages have one time use, or you can set them up to just call 911,” he said. MacDonald suggest that motorists let someone know when they expect to arrive at their destination and give them information on the route they intend to take. “Any trip you’re going on, let someone know where you’re going,” he said. “If it’s a long trip, make sure you have enough fuel for the entire trip. If the weather changes, it could take you longer than expected to get to your destination. And during the holidays, some gas stations aren’t opened, so you can’t depend on finding a place along the way to fill up.” Everyone in the car should also dress for the weather, he said, in case the vehicle breaks down and they have to get out. Snow tires will help the driver control the car better on snowy and icy roads, he said. The kits are usually pretty compact and contain a little manual telling people what to do. “All of these things are essential,” MacDonald said. “Candles and waterproof matches are really important. You could be in your car and if you light these up, it could keep you somewhat warm while you’re waiting for help.” An extra blanket doesn’t take up much room, but could provide a lot of warmth in the event of a breakdown, he added. “These things can save your life, it’s been proven time and again,” MacDonald said. jvardy@ngnews.ca Some of the items that should be included in your emergency kits are: Extra gloves or mittens A safety vest Plastic of nylon call police sign Flashlight and extra batteries First aid kit Candles and waterproof matches Rain poncho (can double as a blanket) Duct tape Bungee cord By Jennifer Vardy, The Evening News, December 19, 2005 Const. Ken MacDonald, community policing officer for New Glasgow, looks at some of the safety items that motorists should have in an emergency kit in their vehicles. Kits typically cost around $20, like this one from CAA. As originally published

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 33 It didn’t take long for New Glasgow’s new police dog to make his first collar. EKKO (pronounced E-CO) was brought in from Slovakia to replace Bosko, who retired earlier this year after several years of service. Cpl. Duane Rutledge underwent 16 straight weeks of traning in the fall in Halifax. For the first six weeks, EKKO was literally tied to Rutledge. “He was always attached to me with some sort of lead, he was never free,” said the 25-year police veteran. Rutledge also worked to develop a complete trust with EKKO by being the only person to bring the dog food and water. EKKO cracked his first case Wednesday night in Linacy, after a 15-year-old allegedly broke into a residence at Green’s Trailer Court on Merigomish Road. After an officer found a set of footprints, the K9 quickly went to work. “EKKO took the track and followed it for about 1.5 kilometers,” to the boy’s residence, Rutledge said. All of the electronic property stolen in the break-in was recovered. The young offender remains in custody and will face charges of break, enter and theft, and breach of an undertaking, police said on Thursday. The 20-month old German shepherd, small for a police dog, resided in a kennel at Rutledge’s home, where he lives with his wife Kim, their two daughters, and three other dogs: a Jack Russell Terrier, a Lab and an 11-month-old Bull Mastiff. Because EKKO isn’t realy a pet, he doesn’t interact much with the other animals and his handler is careful to not to treat him too much like a normal dog. “He’s an asset to the police department, a tool that we use,” Rutledge said. “In order to keep him sharp, you can’t have him acting like a pet. To him, work is like play - that’s what he lives for.” German shepherds are desirable for police work because of their durability, loyalty, intelligence, courage and strength. “And they are silent trackers, they don’t bark like hounds.” By Kevin Adshade, The Evening News Cpl. Duane Rutledge of New Glasgow Police Services with his new partner EKKO. How EKKO was trained to sniff out marijuana: 1. Was taken into a room, where there were six boxes, (each about 30 cm by 20 cm by 20 cm) and each with a hole large enough for a dog to put his nose in. 2. A toy familiar to the dog was placed in one of the boxes. The command “search pot” was used for EKKO and he would seek out the item. 3. After repetition, the exercise was done again, but with a bag of marijuana placed in with the toy. 4. The bag of marijuana was placed inside the box without the toy, but when he found the marijuana, a toy was tossed from behind his handler. These exercises, through sheer repetition, made finding marijuana fun for EKKO. In the News... Criminals, beware of dog As originally published

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 35 Police have recovered a large number of used syringes from a New Glasgow neighbourhood. Const. Ken MacDonald of the New Glasgow Police Service said somewhere between 200 and 300 syringes were found in areas around Temperance Street School along Washington Street and near the Co-op garage on Marsh Street over the past few days. He said there are more to pick up. “We do not know the origin of these syringes. They could be drug-related, they could be medical-related but they’re to be considered very dangerous,” he said. Police usually recover a number of syringes in the spring when the snow melts but this discovery has come as a surprise, MacDonald said. “They could have come from anywhere.” High winds Wednesday night and on Thursday may have scattered the syringes. Police have launched an investigation into the discovery. “By examining (the syringes), it could be an isolated incident. We’re not sure at this point,” MacDonald said. In the meantime, the New Glasgow Police are asking parents to tell their children about the dangers a discarded syringe can pose. Mike Washburn, principal at Temperance Street School, informed students and staff shortly before school let out Thursday of the presence of the syringes in the area. None have been found on school property, he said. “We’re telling students, if you see something like that, don’t touch it. Tell a teacher, adult, a guardian and in turn they will contact the police department.” MacDonald advises the same caution for the general public. “We are concerned, for the sake of public safety, not to pick one up, to contact police and remember the location where it was found.” By Sean Kelly, The Evening News Const. Ryan Leil of the New Glasgow police service holds a box of discarded used syringes collected from a New Glasgow neighbourhood.

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 37 Integrated policing, which in recent memory has existed as a cop-talk buzz word, could soon become a reality for police services. Staff Sgt. Ross Landry of the Pictou County RCMP said the concept of integrated policing has been discussed by local services before, it’s just never been given a clear form. It’s an increased co-operation between all police services, from municipal to international. “We want to be able to take a lead role in providing a more effective way of policing the community,” Landry said. “One of the goals here is to help stimulate discussion on how to work as a unified body to bring about positive changes,” he said. “The topic was at the forefront of discussion during the Nova Scotia Association of Police Chiefs and Nova Scotia Police Boards annual convention this week in Pictou. Lorne Smith, New Glasgow’s chief, said because Pictou County’s police forces work in such close proximity, there has always been an element of integration in their work. “We’re doing it - we just need to define it,” he said. “Why couldn’t the Trenton Police help the RCMP on a call to Pictou Landing, or why couldn’t the RCMP assist us with a call to one of our bars?” Smith asked. Landry agrees. “When you make a call to a police station, you want a cop,” he said. Now, the challenge is to get the ideas presented in the discussion into the ears of both policy makers and the public. “The provincial department of justice is facilitating a brainstorming session for us on this issue, and we want to be on the ground floor,” Smith said. Julian Fantino, the convention’s keynote speaker, said integration is a sharing of service rather than an amalgamation. Fantino served as Toronto’s chief of police 2000-2005. “We want the best possible service to the public, on a united front, while still maintaining that intimate local service. One size does not fit all in this case,” he said. Looking at the big picture, he said integrated policing could be a means to help forces deal with common issues such as organized crime or terrorism. “We’re all concerned about the same things,” Fantino said.

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 39 CALEDONIA, P.E.I. - Standing near the crest of a hill beside an isolated rural road, Robert Miller vividly recalled the first and last times he saw his son Bruce. The first was in the arms of a delivery room nurse who assured him Bruce “was all boy.” The last was in a Moncton hospital where the popular Springhill police officer was brain-dead and on life-support. “The pain and heartache never end,” the Shubenacadie man said Tuesday as he stood beside a white memorial cross erected at the exact spot where his 26-year-old son was fatally injured in a head-on collision with an impaired driver two years ago. The narrow eastern Prince Edward Island road was quiet, a stark contrast to the mayhem that must have ensued after the crash in the early morning hours of May 16, 2004. More than 50 mourners of all ages held red carnations. Some held tissues to wipe away the occasional tear as a bagpiper played haunting runes of tribute that echoed against the surrounding trees. “We had so many plans...possibilities,” Mr. Miller said, thinking of moments like the much-anticipated hunting trip that never happened. His thoughts also extended to the family of the impaired driver who also died after the two vehicles collided. “I realize a local family also lost a son that night. His wrong choice to drink and drive has cost us all so much. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.” The unexpectedness and senseless tragedy of impaired driving-related crimes was a common theme as, one by one, friends, relatives and colleagues talked about Const. Miller’s life and death. Speakers included an emotional friend, Jason Hoeg, who was making his first visit back to the scene since the crash. He had been driving the vehicle in which Const. Miller was a passenger and was himself seriously injured. “I don’t know why I’m standing here today,” the Southampton, Cumberland County, man said in a shaky voice. “There must be a reason,” he said, suggesting it might be to share a survivor’s perspective of the dire consequences of drinking and driving. The friends were on their way to Charlottetown from a hunting dog competition at about 1 a.m. They had just reached the crest of a hill when another vehicle in front of them narrowly avoided being hit by an oncoming vehicle. They weren’t as fortunate. “All I remember is seeing lights,” Mr. Hoeg said. He woke up a short time later, still in his vehicle, and remained conscious throughout the ordeal. Const. Miller’s roadside cross, sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada, is the first to be erected in P.E.I. “I wish there didn’t have to be a first,” mother Margaret Miller told reporters after the ceremony. She laid the groundwork for the cross and others that will follow and firmly believes it will give passersby sober second thoughts about the perils of drinking and driving. “I think Bruce would be so honoured and pleased that he could help.” Also participating in the ceremony were P.E.I. Transportation Minister Gail Shea, MADD representatives, and police officers and clergy from Springhill. (cvonkintzel@herald.ca) By Cathy Von Kintzel Truro Bureau - May 17, 2006 Const.

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 41 As originally published Kids ’n’ Kops allows youngsters on Big Brothers, Big Sisters waiting list to spend time with city police in and out of uniform. Big Brothers, Big Sisters and the Charlottetown police have teamed up to give youngsters a week filled with joyous and educational activities. This week, Constables Gary Clow and Melissa MacCann will swim, bowl, play mini-golf and even make chairs with 11 children from all over P.E.I. Called Kids ’n’ Kops, it’s the seventh year of a program which allows kids who are on the Big Brothers, Big Sisters waiting list to spend some time with Charlottetown police officers in and out of uniform. “When they leave here Friday, they’ll have a different perspective,” Clow said on Monday. “When they look at a police officer, they’ll look at him and say, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this is what they do’.” In the mornings, the children, who are ages 9 to 12, will watch presentations at the Charlottetown police station. The presentations focus on issues like bullying, self-esteem, shoplifting and drugs. Six or seven officers will give two presentations a day. “We wanted to pick presentations that were for their age level, and that at this time in their lives, they’d be dealing with,” MacCann said. In the afternoons, the children will go to the beach, tour the police station and swim at the CARI pool, among other activities. The police officers will take off their uniforms and replace them with shorts and T-shirts. It’s a way for the kids to see the police officers not as dominating figures, but as everyday people, Clow said. “The kids get to see the police officers in two walks of life: professionalism, as an officer, and as an ordinary person having fun, playing soccer and bowling,” he said. Added MacCann: “They get to see the other side of us. We’re not always the bad people. We can have fun, we’re not scary.” Yvonne Cartner, executive director of Big Brothers, Big Sisters, said the program allows her to “get a feel” for the kids before they’re matched. That is, she can learn more about the children and their personalities, so she’ll later be able to match the children with the perfect big brother or sister. “This is a great opportunity, you get to see how they interact with other kids their own age, and how they act with adults,” Cartner said. The waiting list is usually six to nine months for girls and two years for boys. That is because there are not enough volunteers and women volunteers outnumber men by a ratio of about two to one. On Monday, the kids were sworn in by Clow. They later got the outfits - bright yellow T-shirts and hats - they’ll be wearing all week. There’ll be a graduation ceremony on Friday, and the children will all receive certificates. While the children will write down the activities they did each day, and evaluate them, explaining what they liked and didn’t like. This will help Clow, MacCann and Cartner develop an even better week for next summer, they said. Over the years, the program has been changing for the better. “It’s evolved as we’ve developed a better understanding of the kids and what they find interesting, and what fits with the program in terms of learning about the role of police in the community,” Cartner said.

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 43 As originally published Cops welcome handy reference on responding to situations. TRURO - A pocket-sized flip guide designed to help police cover all the bases in domestic violence cases was launched here Tuesday. Sharon Mitchell, a police consultant for the provincial Justice Department, said the 130-page, hand-held guide is easy to use and contains a quick checklist police can follow, plus more indepth, detailed information. The checklist covers everything from securing a scene, to looking for injuries or defensive wounds, determining the aggressor, and assessing risk to children and family members. It also addresses the importance of making referrals and doing followups. “The ultimate goal is to decrease domestic violence significantly and ensure that people are safe,” Ms. Mitchell said. “I would like to say that we would banish it forever but that unfortunately is not a reality.” The consultant said the process of investigating, documenting and sharing information about violence cases involves many people and organizations, and can be confusing. As a result, some “people fall through the cracks.” Police had input into the guide - 3,000 of which will be distributed to officers throughout the province at a cost of between $35,000 and $40,000. The launch, conducted by Deputy Justice Minister Doug Keefe, was held at a Truro motel where approximately 80 violence educators attended a two-day workshop hosted by the department’s Justice Learning Centre. The guide is “necessary because you can’t carry all of this information around in your head,” Mr. Keefe told reporters. “There’s a huge amount of information that people, depending on their circumstances, might need to know.” The learning centre was established in September 2002 in response to a provincewide review of how domestic violence was handled in Nova Scotia. That report was commissioned by the government following the high-profile, murder-suicide of Lori Lee Maxwell and Bruce Allan George in Truro in February 2000. Mr. George shot Ms. Maxwell and then himself. The pair had a history of domestic violence and reviews found agencies were doing their jobs, but were working in isolation and not sharing enough information. The learning centre addressed the need for better training. The Justice Department doesn’t have updated statistics on domestic violence in the province, but is currently doing a tracking project, the results of which it hopes to release soon.
