6 February 2002
COUNTY - The Lunenburg County Crime Prevention Board election of
officers and directors was held in Bridgewater January 24.
This gives the board a full slate of officers and offers, not only
variety of organizations involved, but also geographically a good
representation of Lunenburg County.
The object of the board is to bring groups and organizations
together in a common goal of co-operation and understanding in crime
prevention, as stated in the following mission statement.
The Lunenburg Crime Prevention Board is an organization dedicated to
bringing groups together to share information, expertise and ideas
relating to crime prevention in Lunenburg County.
The support and encouragement by Lunenburg County RCMP's commanding
officer, Staff Sgt. Frank Kingston, and his staff, Bridgewater
Police Department, Municipal Warden Jack Wentzell and the
councillors are encouraging to say the least.
The board will be having meetings in various communities in the
upcoming year. Each group is encouraged to report on their successes
and failures at the meetings. This brings ideas and suggestions to
other groups attending and can be very informative.
Guest speakers will be chosen to keep the interest alive. Groups and
organizations that are presently not represented on the board are
encouraged to join and have input into this worthwhile community
organization.
The board would like to thank RCMP Cst. Les Kakonyi RCMP for his
skills in organizing this board and his support and dedication to
the community. Cst. Kakonyi is transferring to Bridgetown where he
takes up similar duties with the RCMP in February. Cst. Greg Smith
will assume the duties of community policing for the RCMP
Bridgewater area and the board welcomes him.
The board would also like to thank the Bridgewater Kinsmen for their
support in providing a comfortable spot to hold the recent meetings
