POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 17 PANS in the community Amherst Police Servicecontinued By Brian Gairns amherstns.sharepoint.com Santa’s Helpers Rob Kelly, Const. Caitlin MacKenzie, Const. Kevin Girouard, SSgt. Brian Gairns, Restorative Justice employees Jennifer Furlong, Natasha Galloway and Katelyn Scott and Autumn House representative Amanda Dynes gather around the Christmas gifts the police department and Cumberland Restorative Justice donated to Autumn House to help two needy families. Sometimes even Santa needs help. This year, Amherst Police Department and Cumberland Restorative Justice employees came to his aid, as they have for the past several years, by helping him deliver Christmas to two needy families via the folks at Autumn House. “What they’re doing is simply amazing,” said Autumn House spokesperson Amanda Dynes. “They are helping families who are in transition, who had to leave in a hurry. Some literally have nothing but a fork. They wouldn’t be able to have Christmas without the support of people like them.” SSgt. Brian Gairns said the department began working with Autumn House about a decade ago to make sure a family in need had a Christmas. About three years after they started, the folks at Restorative Justice joined the effort. “We don’t knowwho the family or families are and we do not want to know,”Gairns said. “We’re just told by Autumn House the makeup of the family. This year there were two families. One a mother with two girls, aged 2 and 4, the other a single momwith a 10-monthold child. Autumn House provides us with a Santa List and we do our best to fill it,” Gairns said. The police department members do this by making donations. “We put up an envelope in November and collect donations from the officers and staff,” the staff sergeant said. The employees over at Cumberland Restorative Justice do the same. The funds they raise are matched by a contribution from their board of directors. Then with the Santa List in hand, members of both organizations hold a family night, where they go shopping to buy all the fixings for a Christmas dinner and presents for the families Autumn House indicated needed help with Christmas. “We had one year where we helped a family that had 13 members,” Gairns said. “In the past, we’ve even had to buy families the pots and pans so they could cook their Christmas dinner because they didn’t have anything.” “The moms usually don’t ask for anything for themselves, but we try to get them something, as well.” This year clothes, diapers, stuffed animals and toys were acquired to go along with the traditional Christmas dinner fixings. They were turned over to Dynes on Dec. 20, 2019, and she delivered them to the families in time for Christmas. Gairns said, “It’s nice to be able to help bring Christmas to a family that would not have one otherwise.” He issued a challenge. “I’d like to see other departments with the town join us and also make the effort to help Santa provide a Christmas for a family in need. If they need help getting organized, just get in touch with me.”

Detective Constable Derek Childs, President of Local 108 says a good working relationship between the Town and the Police Service allowed them to reach an agreement in a day. “Most places don’t get an agreement in place before the other one is expiring. A lot of the time, things go into arbitration and it can be years.” Childs says that wasn’t the case during these negotiations. “Just translated into an easy setting and forum that day to have an open and frank discussion about what we felt was important and where we could make some concessions and it just flowed really well.” Childs says the two sides worked to find over $30,000 in savings which allowed for two and a half percent increases for officers in each year of the contract. He says the Police Service altered their shifts to align better with when they are needed. The new contract will be in effect the first of April. Bridgewater Police Service

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 21 CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. - Charlottetown Police Services has upgraded its fleet and saved, literally, a truckload of money doing it. City police recently found out the Charlottetown Fire Department was in the process of upgrading its own fleet and was looking to decommission a fire truck. So, the police department suggested rather than getting rid of the vehicle why not give it to them and have it repurposed. “The suggestion came up that it would certainly be a great replacement for our emergency response vehicle,’’ said Sgt. Chris Watts. “Our support vehicle, which is used for lots of various activities in the department, was getting a little long in the tooth. It was still functional, but this is definitely an upgrade.’’ So, the ownership of the vehicle was transferred from the fire department to the police force. Then came the task of rebranding the large vehicle from fire department red to the white and blue colours of the Charlottetown Police Services. That’s when a community business stepped in to help out. “Through the generous benefactor services of Superior Sanitation, they took care of the cost of painting the vehicle for us at their shop. We put the (police) decals on, but they did the paint transformation . . . which was a massive undertaking. “It’s something that I’m not sure would have fallen under the constraints of our budget limitations.’’ Watts said it was all done for a minimal cost. The cost of a new vehicle of that size would have been into the six-figure range. “It’s huge,’’ Watts said of the cost-savings to not only the police department but to the city corporation.

Bob Larter Residents of a Charlottetown apartment complex that was ravaged by fire earlier this week have a city police officer to thank for keeping the difficult day from becoming much worse. Early in the morning hours of July 17, Charlottetown Police Services Cpl. Bob Larter was patrolling Beasley Avenue when he noticed a large cloud of smoke. Getting closer, he saw the cause: flames on the west end of an apartment building at 10 Harley St. Larter arrived just as alarms were starting to sound. As the shift supervisor, Larter called in the rest of his team at Charlottetown Police Services and notified the Charlottetown Fire Department before entering the building to alert the residents. “He played a big part in saving lives,” Deputy Chief Brad MacConnell told The Guardian. Together with other officers, who arrived within minutes, Larter carried some of the residents down the stairs to safety. “That was the seriousness of the situation. There was no time to collect belongings,”MacConnell said. Deputy Chief TimMamye of the Charlottetown Fire Department credited police assistance with the safe and early evacuation of the building’s occupants. “We had a working structure fire when we arrived. It was fully involved at the far end… all the way up into the roof line,” said Mamye. MacConnell gives “a lot of credit” to the fire crews’ response. The fire destroyed 29 apartments and displaced 52 people, mostly seniors. The Canadian Red Cross arranged emergency lodging for 16 of the tenants. The others made other arrangements such as staying with relatives or friends. “Our community relies on us to watch over them while they’re asleep,”said MacConnell. “Cpl. Larter certainly delivered on that.” Cpl. Bob Larter with Charlottetown Police Services was the first on the scene of a devastating apartment building fire July 17, 2019. - Charlottetown Police Services photo, contributed

Angie McWaid has some hard-earned new hardware. The Kentville Police Service member was presented with the John Dunlop Memorial Award on May 17 for her dedication to the community of Kentville. The award recognizes those who go above and beyond their job description to develop community activities for youth. The award is presented on behalf of the Nova Scotia Criminal Justice Association annually and is the oldest justice award in Canada. Fred Honsberger, president of the Nova Scotia Criminal Justice Association, went to Town Hall in Kentville to present McWaid with the award. The presentation occurred at the beginning of the police commissionmeeting, with a speech fromHonsberger about the hard work that McWaid does on her own time for the community. The list of her accomplishments in developing the community of Kentville was an impressive one that went on for some time before she was asked to accept her award. After the presentation, McWaid spoke about how much the award means to her. “I feel very honoured and overwhelmed in a way. I certainly didn’t expect to get a call from Fred Honsberger to receive an award like this. It was an amazing surprise. I feel very blessed to be able to work in a community I love.” McWaid plans to continue with her helping ways into the future. “I’m doing a lot of volunteering at the Kings County General Resource Centre right now as the chair of their board. I help out whenever I can to aid with their programs and assist their staff,” she said. “That’s my main focus right now.” As a thank you to Sergeant Mike Goss from Kentville Police Services for volunteering his time in their new video, Gates Insurance made a donation to a charity of his choice. Sergeant Goss wanted to support Chrysalis House Association and their new building project.

Theo Giesen (theo.giesen@kingscountynews.ca) Valley Journal Advertiser As originally published: August 22, 2019 Kentville Police Service launches fun helmet safety campaign Photo credit: Valley Journal-Advertiser PANS in the community Kentville Police Servicecontinued Const. Sarah Robichaud of the Kentville Police Service is redefining what it means to get pulled over. During the Protect Your Melon initiative, officers will be rewarding folks sporting a protective helmet while using a bike, skateboard or scooter. They’ll be handing out tickets offering rewards, such as a free cool beverage. And there’s more. As part of Robichaud’s new project, everyone who receives one of these “tickets”will also be entered into a draw to win a new bike. Robichaud launched the campaign in mid-August and it will run to the end of September. She explains that the goal is to reward the community for abiding by rules that are meant to protect people. “It’s obviously the law to be wearing a helmet while riding, and that is something we reinforce as part of our duty, but I figured we could put a positive twist on that rule to help encourage people to follow it. We’re hoping this incentive will be the little extra push to get people riding safely,” says Robichaud. With this new incentive, riders who have always practiced protecting their melon will now be rewarded for their good habits. “During the course of the day while we’re on general patrol and the opportunity rises, we will stop an individual in a safely manner, and inform themof the initiative. At the beginning you could tell people were shocked and nervous to have a police officer approach them, but once they realize we’re bringing good news, their reaction completely changes. Plus, who doesn’t want a coupon for a free slushie on a warm day?” As more and more people become aware of this movement, Robichaud hopes it will foster a stronger relationship between the community and local police officers. Part of the goal is to show that officers are ordinary people just doing their jobs - keeping the community safe. The Kentville Police Service is grateful to all of the local businesses who have shown overwhelming support for the Protect Your Melon initiative. 2019 Remembrance Day - left to right: Sergeant Mike Goss, Deputy Chief Darryl Brown, Chief Julia Cecchetto, Sergeant Marty Smith, Auxiliary Constable Harlon Wood and Constable Devin White.

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 31 PANS in the community Kentville Police Servicecontinued Kirk Starratt (kirk.starratt@kingscountynews.ca) Valley Journal Advertiser As originally published: July 25, 2019 Kentville’s newest sergeant never wanted to be anything but a police officer Photo credit: Valley Journal-Advertiser For a member of the Kentville Police Service (KPS) who was recently promoted, it would be more than cliché to say his career is a dream come true. Kevin Pick said he is very honoured to be promoted from constable to sergeant with the KPS. He had a year of training and four years of service with the Halifax Regional Police before getting the chance to move home and join the KPS. He’s been with the KPS for 12 years now. “It’s nice that the department has put the faith in me to look after some stuff and take on some more responsibility and I’ll try to do the best I can,” Sgt. Pick said. He has wanted to be a police officer since the time he was a small child. Throughout life, he hasn’t wanted to be anything else. It took him a while to break into the field, working as a teacher for almost eight years before getting a chance to join the Halifax force in 2003 at age 29. As part of his promotion ceremony, Pick was presented with his badge by Sgt. Wilf Andrews. Andrews is one of Pick’s former sergeants. With the shift Pick is currently working, he’s technically taking Andrews’ spot. “Wilf was a bit of a mentor to me for this,”Pick said. “Without Wilf ’s help, I don’t think I’d be here right now.” Pick said Andrews taught him a lot when it comes to how to deal with and treat people in general, as well as those you are working with. Andrews also imparted a great deal of knowledge on the inner workings of the police service to Pick. Another aspect of his promotion in rank that he’ll never forget is the involvement of his daughters in the ceremony. Each daughter attached one of the sergeant’s epaulets to his shoulders. “It was very special, I had a tear in my eye for sure,” Pick said. “My first daughter was born just as I started my career in policing and just as I was leaving Halifax Regional, my second daughter was born.” When it comes to police work, the part Pick has always enjoyed most is patrolling in uniform in a marked police car, responding to calls and dealing with the public. Now he’ll get to see this aspect from another perspective – in a supervisory role. He said there are two members on his shift who are fairly new to the profession. They are quite keen and bring the latest in police training to the job. Pick said this has served as a bit of a refresher for him and he hopes he can serve as a mentor to them. “I hope I do half as good a job as Wilf did with me,” Pick said. Pick grew up in Port Williams and now lives in Kentville. He went through high school here and attended Acadia University. He said getting to move home has been a very positive experience and Kentville is a great town to work for and to police. “I’ve enjoyed my time here and hopefully I have a few years left in me.” Pick hopes to serve as mentor to new generation of members

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 39 PANS in the community Truro Police Service Lynn Curwin (lynn.curwin@trurodaily.com) As originally published: October 4, 2019 Jim Flemming retires from Truro Police Service Photo credit: Truro Daily News After 38 years with the Truro Police Service, Jim Flemming has decided it’s time to hang up his uniform. His last day on the job was Thursday, Oct. 3. “I wasn’t one of those people who wanted to be a police officer from the time I was a kid,”he said. “I got into it because I wanted a good, steady job, but I loved it as soon as I started. It’s the best job ever. It’s been very fulfilling and rewarding.” He started work with the service on June 1, 1981 and has worked in the drug and identification sections and has been a platoon sergeant. For the past 12 years, he’s served as deputy chief. “Things have changed a lot,” he said. “When I started we were working with manual typewriters and had to write in a book when we went out for calls. We had no photocopier. If we needed to photocopy something we had to wait for the town office to open. We didn’t have radios or air conditioning in the cars.” He’s enjoyed the variety the job provided, as well as the opportunities to help people. He’s seen the number of property and violent crimes decrease over the years. “The hardest part in seeing people when they’re down and out,” he said. “We deal with a lot of mental health issues and homelessness.” Flemming will be 60 in June, and had some time owed, so he decided to retire while he’s still able to do a lot of things. He volunteers with his church, the Saint Vincent De Paul Society, and VON. He also enjoys curling, golf, exercising at the gym, spending time with his grandchildren, and reading suspense books, and he and his wife, Christine, hope to do some travelling. “Truro has been an awesome place to work and this has been a great career,” he said. “I’d encourage anybody who wants a fulfilling career to consider police work.” continued

POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 41 PANS in the community Truro Police Service continued continued Lynn Curwin (lynn.curwin@trurodaily.com) Truro News As originally published: September 20, 2019 Safe streets are a priority for Truro Police Photo credit: Truro Daily News When he spots something dangerous, Const. James Browne has the car in gear and the lights and sirens on within seconds. Browne, who works in the Truro Police Service traffic section, is often helping keep people safe on the town’s roads. “The main things I’m dealing with are speeding and people using their phones while driving,” he said. “People often don’t realize the impact of these things. They’re not only putting themselves and others in danger, and getting a fine and points, but it affects insurance. Their rates will go up when they’re fined for speeding or using a phone.” Browne has been with the Truro Police Service since 2002 and spent more than half of that time with the traffic section. “When I started working here, I trained with Graham Purvis and I kind of inherited this position from him,” he said. Some of the biggest changes he’s seen during the past few years have been inside the police cruiser. It’s now equipped with a computer, licence scanner, radar, and a printer, which allows him to print tickets and warnings. Most people are cooperative when stopped by police, but some become angry. “ I’ve come close to arresting people because of aggressive behaviour during a traffic stop,” said Browne. “I haven’t actually arrested them, but I’ve had situations where I called for backup. “People sometimes get out of the vehicle and walk toward me when I’ve pulled them over and that can feel threatening. Sometimes I’ve had to call out several times, telling them to get back inside. You shouldn’t get out of the vehicle when police stop you.” It’s not only the person who has been pulled over who presents a potential danger. Some drivers connect the ‘move over’ law with highway driving but don’t consider it while travelling through town. Browne has had vehicles pass by so closely that they brushed his pant leg. Dispatch will check to ensure there are no major problems if an officer hasn’t been in contact for a while. People are often unaware of the things that can result in fines. “If you don’t have your licence with you, you can be charged with failure to produce,” said Browne. “People often think they have 24 hours to bring in their licence but whether they’re given time or fined is at the discretion of the officer.” Although most people pay their fines without argument, Browne has to attend court when people fight them, and attending 12 cases in one day isn’t unusual. “I don’t enjoy giving people tickets, but I do like keeping them safe,” he said.
