Security team on full

OBSERVE, RECORD, report.

That motto may seem familiar in terms of wildlife poach-
ing, but it’s also the motto of the security team for the
Northern B.C. Winter Gamtes.

With thousands of people due to arrive any day you
might think their motto would be “Help!"’; but security

director Terry Morris says his tcam of more than 150 .

people can handle it.

“Things should go smoothly,”’ he says. “Tm looking »

forward to it.”’
But Marris isn’t looking to crack skulls. He says the role
of security at the games will primarily be of support.
“We're nol going in all gung-ho,” he says. “The cm-

a first-respanse person — someone who can make a deci-
sion and contact the right people if help is required.”’

At the 150-person level, the security team is one of the
larger contingent of volunteers being assembled to take
part in the games. And, just as is the case with other
volunteers, they'll be putling in a lot of hours this coming
weekend,

“Morris, who was director of ceremonies at (he 1986
Winter Games, says the securily volunteers’ prime respon-
sibility Is to alert Ihe games’ control centre at the arcna
should trouble arise. To stay in touch with the centre,
volunteers will be equipped with hand-held radios.

“Communication is vital,’ says Mortis, “We watt ta

av

get the right people to the scene as quickly as possible —
whether that’s first aid, an ambulance or police.”

Morris says security personnel will also be involved in
traffic and crowd control, As for the latter, Morris says he
isn’t expecting too many problems.

“The vast majority of the people who come to these
events are just there to see some competition and have 4

goad time,”’ he says.

Morris also points out that the rules about alcohol con-
sumption at events are very strict, s0 drunken rowdiness

will not be tolerated,

“We're not expecting too many problems,” Morris says.

“I'm looking forward to a peaceful and fun set of games.”’
