Sir:
Thursday night, 17 March, Central "C" worked nights. It was a mild night (15 C) and it was St Patrick's Day. We expected to be busy, and we were. However, were it not for the help of ACTION Teams #2 and #5 and the assistance of the MPU, we would have been much busier.
ACTION Team #2 and two MPU Officers attended to most of the Westdale problems for us and ACTION Team #5 attended to most of the busy bars etc. in the downtown.
This kind of assistance is priceless and allows patrol to deal with all of the other things going on. And, at the end of the shift (0600), most officers commented on a busy night being a little easire to handle with all of the help.
Thanks from us.
Sergeant John Harris #369
