isruptive and loud parties won‘t be tolerated in the City of Waterâ€" loo. That‘s the message Waterloo regional police and city bylaw officers are sendâ€" ing out to university students this fall. _ â€""There will be no more warnings, said Mary George, the city‘s acting man: ager of bylaw enforcement. _ _*"We‘ve adopted a strict, fair enforceâ€" ment procedure." _ This noâ€"warning approach came about to curb the high demand on policing, thereby allowing officers to increase their visibility and respond to other calls, said Insp. Bryan Larkin. "We‘re not going to go to an address one or two or three times and give warnings. If the complaint is substantiâ€" ated and there‘s reasonable grounds to believe the noise bylaw‘s been breached, then we‘re issuing the charge immediately," he said. In the past, the warning system was used, and Larkin said it didn‘t work well. "What‘s happening is police tesources were being sent to the same addresses, to the same incidents, multiâ€" ple times in an evening," he said. During the frosh weekend â€" from Sept. 5 to 8 â€" police laid 216 charges, 26 of which were related to noiseâ€"bylaw infractions. The city, meanwhile, issued 23 noiseâ€"related charges in the same time period. The police charges also included 14 criminal, 20 public nuisance and 113 liquorâ€"related offenses. The latter charge primarily applies to those who drink alcoholic beverages in public. Those figures are consistent with previous years, said Larkin, adding the level of demand for police services in uptown Waterloo and around the uniâ€" versities increases during frosh week and at the end of the school year.
