A we filed a grievance with our Union in the Spring of 197fi, Don t ask me Why it took this Long to reach the Point where some action to be taken l guess its to do with better enforcement of the workplace safety and health better communications under the motion communications facilities Between the Park wardens and regular police would be improved. Park wardens would be in charge of Park Security Parks on behalf of the police secure the scene of an incident and act As Public relations officers. They would not be armed but Cairy Wukie tackles. Their uniforms would be changed so they Woi Sld not be mistaken for regular police constables.
