Officers will also be on hand at a Feb. 2 charity game between the Rangers and the Police Hockey team with extra cards so that children can pick up those they are missing. Makeâ€"up cards will again be available at the beginning of March at police detachments throughout the region. And if collecting cards of their favorite hockey players isn‘t enough incentive, children who collect a complete set will be eligible for such prizes as bicycies, skates and other sports equipment in a draw to be made at the Rangers‘ last game of the season March 13. The cards, explained Taylor have a threeâ€"fold purpose. Not only will they help to acquaint children with police officers and bring added exposure to Kitchener Ranger players but, hopefully, they will make them aware of the rules of safety. In addition to biographical information on the players, each card contains a safety tip. The $12,000 cost of implementing the program will be borne by its four sponsors Dutch Boy Food Markets, Cober Printing, J.M. Schneiders and CKKW Radio. The only expense to the police force is in manpower, said Taylor. The program achieved instant success in Durham region, where it was first introduced by police three years ago, in conjunction with the Oshawa Generals, and if the requests police in the Waterloo region have Two cards of the 30â€"card set have already been distributed to each child up to grade 8 in Waterloo county, both in the public and separate school systems. The program‘s official launch, however, will take place at the Kitchener Rangers‘ Dec. 5 game. Any child who brings the cards to the game will be admitted free, explained Taylor. Police officers plan to attend the game to hand out the next two cards of the set. All the kids have to do when they spot an officer on patrol is wave to him and wait until he approaches, explained Taylor. He emphasized that for maximum safety they should neither attempt to wave down a passing cruiser or stop an officer when he is at the scene of an accident or crime. The program, which will be put into operation in the Waterioo region Sunday, Dec. 5, was established "to get the kids talking to police officers, to take away any walls that have been built up between us," said Const. Glen Taylor of the community relations department, Waterioo Regional Police. Taylor, with the help of John Thompson, public relations director for the Kitchener Rangers, organized the 14â€"week program which Taylor classifies as "‘strictly public relations." And how will they accomplish this? In a move guaranteed to make police officers in the region popular with the youngsters, officers on patrol will be distributing a total of 1.25 million cards bearing the photographs of Kitchener Ranger hockey players and team officials during the next three months. ‘"‘There is always a need for a better relationship between the police force and the community," said Taylor. ‘"We want to let the kids know we are their friends and we are there to help them." . When children are in trouble, police in the Waterioo region hope they will not hesitate to approach the officer on patrol â€" thanks to the efforts of Police, Law and Youth(PLAY).
