Over two dozen officers from various agencies will participate. § As Halton police get ready to blow up a car Saturday for 80 youths attending a weekendâ€"long Respect for Law camp at their Bronte Road headâ€" quarters, they‘re hoping to get a lot more bang for the sponsoring Optimist Clubs® bucks. They‘re hoping it will be the start to a positive relationship between police of all walks â€" and youths.

The officer said sometimes youths have contact with police in a negative situation or talk with friends who have had contact with police in a negative situation. The Respect for Law camp should provide a more posâ€" itive forum, he said. "It‘s the opportunity for them to deal oneâ€"onâ€"one with police and then make up their own minds and opinâ€" ions," said Martin. Constable Ken Hannah, a Milton safety officer was involved in the organization and under Staff Sgt. Dick Hilton took on the project‘s organizaâ€" tion again this year. Eighty students â€" roughly 40 boys and 40 girls â€" aged 12 and 13 will arrive at the Bronte Road Halton police headquarters Friday evening. They‘ll attend lectures, have dinâ€" ner, meet police dogs from various Burlington, Oakville Oakville, Milton Milton, Halton Hills police agencies and then participate in a corn roast and trivia challenge. After demonstrations by the Halton police tactical and rescue unit (TRU) and the Oakville Fire Department Saturday morning, they‘ll witness a car being blown up (the gas tank‘s been removed from the vehicle, said Martin) in a demonstration by the Halton police bomb squad (Explosive Devices Unit). Hannah said the wreck was donatâ€" ed by C.H. R. Towing. An explosive will be used inside the car so as not to send any exterior pieces flying danâ€" gerously during the demonstration. The car will be in the east parking lot of the police headquarters and youthâ€" ful onlookers will be kept well back from the scene. From there they‘ll see an OPP helicopter land and then get better acquainted with other police, military and coast guard vehicles and equipâ€" ment including the St. John‘s Ambulance service before attending afternoon sessions hosted by all groups then breaking for dinner and a karaoke/dance night. By early Sunday afternoon, the group will have more lectures under their belt and will participate in a graduation ceremony before going home â€" hopefully with a new perspecâ€" tive and respect for law enforcement agencies and officers. With sleeping bags in tow, the group will camp out in the gymnasiâ€" um of the police headquarters (with the partition providing privacy between boys and girls). The entire camp will be supervised and chaperâ€" oned by police and military personâ€" nel. The idea for the Respect for Law camp originally came from an Oakville resident who was an Optimist Club member in both Oakville and Fort Meyers, Florida, said Hannah. The resident read about similar camps in the U.S., brought the idea to his local club and those throughout Halton. "They liked it and they got in touch with our department and we loved it," said Hannah. From there the project was bomn. Halton police school safety offiâ€" cers visited all Halton schools with a Grade 7 class earlier this year to explain the camp and provide applicaâ€" tion forms. Each school was to chose one youth to participate. Hannah said 150 youths could have been accommodated but only about half that many were interested. At some schools no one was interestâ€" ed, so police allowed other schools to send more than one student.
