Re: Municipal Policing Contract ~
City of Port Coquitlam

Dear Sir:.

Reference our conversation on the 26 NOV 74, please accept this
letter as my official request for the addition of two (2) men to the
Municipal Policing Contract for the City of Port Coquitlam effective the
lst. of April 1975. I£ approved, this would bring the total manpower strength
of the Contract to 28 men.

Our original request to our Headquarters was for an addition of
eight (8) men, however, we have been advised that the Federal Government
has placed a ceiling on manpower increases of approximately 5%. I am very
concerned that this restriction of manpower increases could result in a
deterioration of the level of policing service that we are now providing
to the public, which, by comparison to other Detachments and Municipal
Police Forces, is already below average.

Should Council not see fit to approve the requested increase of
two men, I would readily accept an invitation to appear before Council to
support my request.

Yours truly
