“Tt’s nice to come to a com-

He said people are always slop-

A career RCMP officer, Yeske
has 32 years in the force.

He received his silver clasp for
30 years of service in 1992.

‘He has served in Saskatchewan,
Ontario and B.C. His first posting
was in North Battleford, Sask,

Terrace has experienced major

~ growth since Yeske arrived in

‘late 1986.

Back then the city had the sec-
ond highest crime rate in the pro-
vince. Terrace has since dropped
to nineteenth.

Yeske says Terrace people
scem to look out for cach other

more.
Police received many tips from
neighbours during a rash of
break-ins last year and managed
to catch several culprits in the act,
“In a lot of communities people

just don’t have that kind of care

for their neighbour.”’

Two murders took place during
Yeske’s years — the killing of
Crystal Hogg in 1988 and last
year’s killing of Gale Morrison.
RCMP quickly made arrests in
both cases, although the Morrison
killing is still before the courts.

Yeske said he tackled com-
munity policing by trying to get
the force as much visibility as
possible.

“We try to put as many mem-
bers on the road as possible, par-
ticularly in the late hours, check-
ing anything thal moves,’” he
said.

Yeske's replacement will be In-
spector Steve Leach, from
Labrador subdivision.

Tt will be a return to the north-
west for Leach, who served in
Prince Rupert before going to the
east coast,
