Bart Dailley introduced our guest speaker Mr. Rick Hanson. As Chief of PoliceMr Hanson discussed the Crime, Prevention and Reduction Continuum of theCalgary Police Service. Our Police Service is committed to reducing crime in ourcommunity by working with community partners to develop comprehensivestrategies to address education, prevention, early intervention, treatment andenforcement. The ultimate goal of these strategies is to keep individuals out ofthe formal justice system when appropriate and to treat the underlying causes oftheir criminal behavior.
Rick impressed everyone on how important it is to prepare our children andgrandchildren for dealing with our new culture. Computers, technology, drugs,
and gangs are all very real, and kids need toknow how to deal with these issues. This fall15 elementary schools will pilot the StartSmart Stay Safe Children’s project designedfor students K thru Grade 12. The curriculumwill focus on enhancing children’s resiliencythrough lessons on staying safe, making gooddecisions, fostering healthy relationships andpromoting pro-social and positive behaviors.
Martin Harvey introduced ourspeaker Mr. Mike French.
A quote from Eleanor Roosevelt,“The more you help others, themore you really gain yourself.”
It’s true isn’t it? When you givesomeone a gift, it feels good. Andwhen you combine all these projectsyour club is involved in, with allthose that the other 34,000 plus clubs around the world accomplish, you can seethat we Rotarians really make a big difference. There’s actually a lot of feelinggood going on around the world. And that’s wonderful, because by feelinggood we want to keep on giving.
Being part of a bigger entity we can accomplish massive projects such as theeradication of polio, working with other world organizations such as the World

Birthdays and Anniversaries
Another excellent program is MASST – Multi-Agency SchoolSupport Teams. This consists of four police/social workerteams dedicated to facilitating the early identification anddelivery of interventions to young people, aged five to fifteen,who are exhibiting high-risk behaviors and/or a risk ofvictimization. We need to identify those young people most atrisk, and there are many indicators that alert us that this childis at a greater risk for crime. Once identified, we can provideresources to address the needs, with ongoing support, to boththe youth and their families.
For street level crime and social disorder, we have the Policeand Crisis Teams (PACT). Things like car prowlings, break andenters, theft, and aggressive panhandling are generallycommitted by individuals with substance abuse addictions,who are trying to support their habit through crime. Often,these people are mentally ill and self-medicating throughalcohol or drug use. By not treating their underlyingconditions, these individuals frequently become chronic, publicnuisance offenders, regularly processed through the criminaljustice system and the hospital emergency rooms.
Calgary is now a large and growing city compared to 25 yearsago. A lot of things in Calgary have changed and we have toadapt to this change to keep Calgary safe and prosperous.

Health Org. and the Gates Foundation. We can donatevaccine and mobilize people that allow for immunization dayson a scale I still find unbelievable, when over 150 million canbe immunized in India over just a few days is remarkable.
We all really do provide “Service Above Self”. In our ownunique way we bring our individual talents and skills to worktogether around the world and, as you do, in our localcommunity. We need to share the message, not to increasemembership for the sake of increasing membership, but tohelp us do more good in the world.
