Those community services positions are really the gateway and the voice of the police in communities. Through their prevention efforts and what they do, they ultimately save us work. If they can teach a kid what to do when they get lost in the bush and we find that child quickly, it not only saves a life but the collateral benefit to us is that it saves millions of dollars.
People like Anne—and I didn't get this 35 years ago when I started this job—are really the face of us in those communities. That's an officer who needs to have a gun. She is out in the community in uniform every day.
