Councillor seeks meeting about police presence at city high schools
DAVE STEWART
The Guardian
Coun. Mitchell Tweel is hoping to set up a meeting with the provincial government on establishing a full-time police presence at the city's two major high schools. Tweel said if he gets his way there would be a full-time officer stationed at Colonel Gray and Charlottetown Rural. His efforts spawn from concerns he's getting from his own residents in Ward 4 who live around Colonel Gray High School. A number of residents who live in a seniors building across the street from the school went so far as to sign a petition asking Tweel to act on the problem. The petition states students are congregating in the building's driveway during school hours, students won't move out of the way of traffic and drivers are forced out on to Spring Park Road without clear visibility of oncoming traffic. It also indicates that cars picking up students either park in the driveway or block the driveway without concern of the tenants, that the 30 km/h speed limit on Spring Park Road is not being enforced by police and is becoming a big concern for safety and that some tenants and visitors feel threatened by students and aren't comfortable in leaving or arriving back at the apartment building. Tweel said he's already met with the principal of Colonel Gray and the Eastern School District and is working on scheduling a meeting with Education Minister Gerard Greenan, who is also the attorney general, area MLA Doug Currie, along with principals at the Rural and Gray and the Eastern School District. The goal will be to see if there is any way the province can help pay to put a police officer in the two city high schools, or one who would be responsible for both. "The idea is that the officer would work inside the school, in his or her own office, work with the principal and faculty and get to know the students,' Tweel said. "We're at a critical time when it comes to safety and security issues.' Tweel said it's not unusual to have a full-time police presence in schools. It's done throughout the United States and full-time officers are also stationed at high schools in Moncton and Fredericton in New Brunswick.

Maybe a little blue 'Christopher Robbins' outfit for Councillor Tweel to fill his spare time whn not patrolling Ward #4.

Here's a tip - focus on the Charlotttown Harley Club which fronts for the Hell's Angels...

Maybe Mitch could work on the walking bridge to Stratford....that kept him busy for awhile. He could go to Moncton and yell at Islanders over there shopping.....the possibilities are endless.

This is unbelievable......maybe some sort of work is needed ie guidance counselors..police cars presence at lunch and drop off times to protect walking students as well as "terrified" residents.
Not sure who would hire mitch tho Tim ??? At least he is not wearing Gympants 6 out of 7 days a week now. City Hall needs to get some accountability as they seem to think they have free reign...
