Lack of policing puts northerners at risk mayor by Helen falling the mayor of South Indian Lake is asking the province to declare a state of emergency in the Community because of poor policing he claims is putting residents at risk. The Community 300 Kilometres by Road Northwest of Thompson used to have Community constables but ran out of Money for the program last fall. It is now policed by ramp based at the Leaf rapids detachment 100 Kilometres away. Mayor Victor Moose said the ramp took two and a half hours to respond to a suicide last month forcing local people to guard the scene until police arrived. They re not qualified to be in a position like the Council office is being swamped with complaints about inadequate policing the mayor said. Moose issued a news release yesterday calling on Provin Cial Northern affairs minister Oscar Lathlin to declare a state of emergency. Leaders want on site policing 24 hours a Day in the Community of 1,100. A provincial government spokesman said officials from the Justice department will meet with Community leaders soon to discuss How to resolve the problem. Thompson ramp supt. Peter Hourihan said resources allocated to each Community Are constantly reviewed in Light of annual crime statistics. He has added an extra person to the Leaf rapids detachment which also serves Granville Lake. Moose wants a permanent ramp detachment in the grow ing Community of South Indian Lake but Hourihan said new detachments take several years to plan and move ahead in the context of National priorities. In most Small communities there Are just not enough resources to have a 24-hour-a-Day Active police presence he said noting the larger Community of Nelson House is policed from Thompson. Hourihan said it May be possible to improve response times in South Indian Lake by better scheduling of trips or better use of the ferry.
