Under the 12 platoon system ttxe
police will enjoy a five-day week,
but actually will work about 42
hours a week, phief Peter Elar says
The change will be effected by em-ploying
five non-policemen on a
pttuwame basis as school crossing
guards.

the village is at some expense pro-viding
equipment for them.
