When Detective Constable Calvin Bulbrook to an idea into Superintendent Al Albano’s office at the Burlington division of the Halton Regional police he wasn’t at all sure if his boss would go for it nor was he certain it would actually work – he just thought it was worth a shot.
His Friday Fugitive has worked wonderfully well – so well that people who have warrants for their arrest outstanding are turning themselves in rather than waiting to be caught.
There are more than 170 people the police would love to put handcuffs on – they just have to find them first.
These are the Fugitive Friday individuals captured/located to date:
Week 2 – Curtis Komp was arrested on May 5, only four days after the Fugitive Friday release of his case. He remains in custody awaiting trial.
Week 4 – Scottie Ryerson turned himself in on May 15, the same day of his Fugitive Friday profile.
Week 5 – Mark Aubertin was arrested by Hamilton police on July 3.
Week 6 – Michael Ramsay turned himself in on June 19 as a result of media attention.
Week 7 – Milan Suchy and Blanka Dolezalova currently in BC, efforts underway to have their charges traversed to BC. (Both parties remain WANTED)
Week 8 – Jessica Haynes was located and arrested on June 29 as a result of information received after a press release was issued.
Week 10 – Brennan Bowley turned himself into Hamilton police on July 3 as a result of collaborative efforts of the Hamilton and Halton police services, and pressure from media attention.
Week 11 – Corey Rodgers (https://bit.ly/1IyoLLb) currently in BC (Remains WANTED)
Week 13 – Ashley JACOBS and Michael CRICK (https://bit.ly/1JE06BO) currently in Quebec, efforts are under way to have their charges dealt with (Both parties remain WANTED)
Week 14 – Ahmad ALAMI – arrested in Niagara
Week 15 – Beth Michaud – surrendered to courts
Week 19 – Ryan WOOD – believed to be residing in BC (Remains WANTED)
Halton Police continue to search for eight individuals on the Fugitive Friday list to ensure their appearance in court and to answer to the charges against them. Click on the red letter for more detailed information
Week 1 – Raymond French
Week 3 – Kenneth Moodie
Week 8 – Sean Kelly
Week 9 – Bryon Bullied
Week 12 – Marcin Sydor
Week 16 – Darnell Parchment-Yates
Week 17 – Korde HILL
Week 18 – Matthew PARSONS
Of the 22 people the Regional police went looking for there are nine that they have yet to find. That is an impressive record – so impressive that Det/Cst Bulbrook expects the program will be rolled out in Milton and Oakville in the not too distant future.
Of note in many of the offences listed was that almost all of those wanted skipped bail. The police arrest them, the Crown Prosecutor puts a case before a judge – and the judges seem to be quite ready to release the accused on bail. The accused fail to appear and the police have to go looking for them – again.
Det/Cst Bulbrook, like many police officers, look askance at the revolving door and wonder if there isn’t a better way to manage the problem.
Keeping the offenders in custody is expensive but releasing them on bail and then then having these men and woman not show up damages the criminal justice system in the eyes of the public – and that isn’t healthy for any society.
Failing to appear when given bail is a problem that needs a solution.

In April the Halton Regional Police Burlington Offender Management unit launched the Fugitive Friday initiative.
It was designed as an opportunity for the Halton Regional Police to share the identity of wanted persons with the public in an attempt to bring attention to individuals who may be living and hiding in our communities.
Every Friday since that time, a news release and accompanying photo has been issued to the media identifying a wanted person or wanted pair for offences in which they have evaded police or failed to attend court. Each weekly fugitive has also been promoted on Twitter and Facebook.
The Fugitive Friday initiative has been a great success. To date, six out of 12 featured persons have been arrested, in large part due to pressure from relatives of wanted people, friends and/or the community as a whole to turn themselves in to police.
The Gazette is preparing a more detailed report on how the Burlington division of the Regional police have made the Fugitive Friday program work and plans for its future development.
The police continually investigate and search for individuals who evade the law and the Fugitive Friday information sharing initiative has proved successful due to the teamwork and partnerships with our local media and our communities. We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe and the extra eyes and ears are always a big help.
The Regional Police will share “Fugitive Friday” information on their website and via social media through Twitter @HRPSBurl and @HaltonPolice.

 Suspect has made sure he will be very hard to identify  This photograph helped police determine the height of the suspect. In an update to an earlier report Halton Regional Police aded the following:
“Investigators continue to review several surveillance images of the suspect in these incidents, which are believed related. It would appear that the suspect has a lighter / olive coloured skin tone which differs from the description initially provided to investigators.”
It is pretty obvious these people don’t want to be seen or identified.
These are the pictures the Halton Regional Police were able to recover from the surveillance cameras in the convenience stores that were held up at gun point in the early, early hours of Saturday August 15th.
Armed and dangerous might be a good way to describe them.

Police responded and a search of the area failed to locate the suspect.
A short time later, at approximately 4:00am, a lone male suspect entered the Mac’s Convenience store located at 4021 Upper Middle Road in Burlington.

It is the combined efforts and partnerships of several services that have led to the success of locating and arresting a wanted man who has evaded police for over five years.
In May, 2015, the Halton Regional Police began a thorough search for Donald MUGFORD, 44 years, from Newfoundland.
It is alleged, in February 2009, MUGFORD committed a break and enter at Main Street Donuts in the Town of Milton and stole money from the cash register. It is suspected that he may be responsible for numerous other break and enters in Halton. A warrant was issued for his arrest, however efforts to locate him were unsuccessful.
MUGFORD was also wanted on four additional warrants held by the Toronto Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police and Peel Regional Police for a variety of offences including Theft over $5000, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Flight from a Police Officer, Fail to Appear Court, Theft under $5000, Breach of Probation and Break and Enter.
As a result of ongoing efforts, the search led police to St. John’s, Newfoundland where it was believed the accused was residing. Officers from the Halton Regional Police Criminal Investigations Bureau worked closely with the Halton Crown Attorney’s office and the Harbour Grace detachment of the RCMP in Newfoundland to confirm MUGFORD’s location.
Working in partnership, and through extensive follow-ups, the accused was located and arrested during a traffic stop on July 28, 2015, in the province of Newfoundland, by members of the RCMP.
On August 3, 2015 Halton officers attended Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and took custody of the accused. MUGFORD was arrested for break and enter and breach of probation.
The accused was escorted back to the Halton Region to face the outstanding charges as well as the other outstanding warrants in the Province of Ontario.
Question: How much money did the Regional police spend in getting this suspect back to Burlington; will he be given bail and if not how much time will he spend in a remand centre at significant cost to taxpayers. Would it not have been better to just leave him in Newfoundland and wait for him to commit a crime there?

If you happen to be driving along the rural roads in north Burlington you will know what we mean when we say – a lot of cowboys drive those roads.
The one that we cringe on is that stretch of Britannia where it joins Cedar Springs – there is a deep dip and then a rise with a curve in it – and then there you are at Cedar Springs where there is a curve in that road as well.
Wonder who the traffic engineer who designed that intersection
 Councillor Taylor has been consistent in his battle to have the speeding on rural roads lessened. He’s been the only council member fighting that battle. It is at times truly dangerous along some of the rural roads – ward 3 Councillor John Taylor meets with the police regularly and is always asking for signage and thicker police coverage.
We don’t hear the same concern from the other member of Council with rural territory.
Halton Regional Police continue to implement the Reducing Rural Speeds Project throughout the north end of Burlington. This is a traffic safety initiative that utilizes education and enforcement strategies to reduce the speeds of vehicles travelling along rural roads in order to promote safe driving habits.
Residents of rural Burlington worry about an accident happening that results in a fatality – and with the speed that some of those cowboys drive on those roads – it is scary.
Speed enforcement projects have occurred annually under various names (BEARS in the Woods, BRRaKE). Speed enforcement on rural roadways has indicated that a significant portion of the problem is from commuters using rural routes to avoid more heavily travelled main thoroughfares such as Highway 401, Highway 6, Highway 403, QEW, and Dundas Street. The continuing volume of complaints indicates that drivers continue to disobey speed limits and have little regard for the safety of the people who reside in these communities.
Since July 1st, officers have issued 460 provincial offense notices for driving related offences along these rural roadways, 363 of those were for speeding.
Officers will continue to patrol the rural roads to deter drivers from speeding along these roadways.
There was a time when municipal people referred to these police cars as Holsteins – the result of their markings. The colour scheme changed to more white – the traditional colours are returning. Expect to see more of these on the rural roads – unmarked perhaps. In order to increase safety it is necessary for the public to recognize that speeding is unacceptable and can have catastrophic repercussions. As a result, police are hoping this campaign will remind drivers that as their speed increases so does the risk of a collision.
The Halton Regional Police Service is committed to combating dangerous and aggressive driving behaviours that put all road users at risk.
If any citizen would like to report a traffic concern they can do so by visiting our website and making a Road Watch complaint.
ROAD WATCH is a community driven program encouraging anonymous reporting of incidents involving dangerous and/or aggressive driving. This program is an opportunity to bring an aggressive driver to our attention.

In the mid-afternoon Saturday, August 1, a 40 year old Burlington male was seen to be travelling east along Fairview Street, close to the Burlington Mall, while operating a blue electrically-powered bicycle, when his vehicle collided with a silver Jeep SUV that was making a left turn into the parking lot at a traffic light controlled intersection.
The male’s injuries were such that he was transported to Hamilton General Hospital where he remains in serious but stable condition.
 This make of e bike is what the injured rider was believed to be driving. They have a significant amount of power and Are seen by many as more like a motorbike. Friends of the bike driver report the rider was riding a $10,000 ‘e-bike’ that was capable of travelling up to 85 km/h.
The rider’s group of friends are all pretty concerned for his health and recovery at the moment. ”It might be worth mentioning that his ‘e-bike’ was more akin to a motorcycle.”
Due to the serious nature of the incident, the Halton Police Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) attended and assumed control of the investigation.
No details regarding the involved parties are being released.
Anybody who witnessed the incident but has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact the Collision Reconstruction Unit on 905-825-4747 ext 5065.

Two years ago, St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church on Headon Forest Drive had one of its air conditioners stolen.
It was a bit of a shock because the unit was several years old and not considered of any real value.
 Air conditioners stolen from outside a Headon area church. As well, there was a clearly signed daycare in the church. The congregation replaced the air conditioning units and securely fenced all of the church’s units.
Two weeks ago, the fence was cut and another air conditioner was taken – this one dating from the church’s construction in 1993 and considered to be of very little value.
 Thieves cut through the wire enclosure – made off with an air conditioner that might have gotten them $100 as junk. The unit has been replaced and security has been enhanced, all at considerable cost to the church. The congregation is dumbfounded – what value do ancient air conditioners have that would make them worth stealing from a church with a clearly signed daycare?
Do churches now have to set up security cameras?

The Burlington detachment of the Halton Regional Police are giving each other high fives these days over the success of their Friday Fugitive initiative that has the police sending out information on people who are evading their date with the justice system in a court room.
The program has proven to be so successful that criminals wanted by the police are calling and saying they will turn themselves into the police before there picture gets published in different media.
 Ahmad ALAMI, 34 years old, of St. Catharines, ON Last week the police were asking for help in placing Ahmad ALAMI, 34 years old, of St. Catharines, ON in custody for his forging documents – he wasn’t cooperating and police were not able to locate him.
With the unwanted publicity it was difficult for the construction worker to find a job – he is now in conversations with the police.
The Friday Fugitive initiative is a little like the way sheriffs in small western town put up wanted posters – with electronic media their reach is much further than the local post office.
Detective Constable Calvin Bulbrook deserves kudos for bring the idea to Burlington.
