A Local Justice of the Peace showed me a copy of his Legal Line Guide and I realized it was a great resource. We are constantly receiving inquiries from the public concerning Acts we don’t deal with on a day to day basis… send 4,000.

An envelope containing the resource guide, information about the book and a couple of pamphlets were sent to the Calgary Police Service Victim Assistance Unit. We had not heard of this organization previously. Our Unit provides information and support to over 30,000 victims of crime and tragedy annually. Many times our advocates are asked about information on legal matters that are outside the scope of our mandate. Legalline will provide a resource that can be mailed or the information given over the phone.

1,000 voice recordings available 24 hrs. a day over the telephone… What a wonderful service for our seniors or immigrant clients who prefer to ‘listen’, rather than ‘read’ on the website. There are numerous people attending our Headquarters and Districts on a daily basis seeking information and guidance with regards to their everyday lives. Legal Line is definitely a wealth of information for them.

I passed your pamphlet around to the members of 55 Division Community Response Unit at our office meeting. The feedback was excellent.

We currently employ 85 volunteer Crisis Responders who provide immediate crisis intervention to all victims of crime and tragic circumstances in our region. We work primarily with Waterloo Police Service and other emergency service providers. Please ship us the maximum amount and we will share them with all of our Community Partners.

What an incredibly valuable resource. This pamphlet has been distributed throughout the entire Toronto Police Service and has become a vital tool for our community officers. I continue to get the most impressive comments from officers and community representatives. They all go on and on-and-on about the value of this pamphlet and they cannot believe how much information is available to them. I will continue to showcase this resource pamphlet at ALL of our community displays and I will encourage our divisions to do likewise. I must say I have never seen such a complete and informative pamphlet in my 25 years of policing. Congratulations on such a successful program.

Communications Operators play a vital role in ensuring that the right response is dispatched to whatever emergency situation arises. This challenging job is one of many performed by the more than 2,800 civilian members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). The OPP’s five (5) Provincial Communications Centres (PCC) provide telecommunications services including dispatch, 9-1-1 and administrative call taking to communities throughout Ontario. These centres operate on a 24/7 basis. Please forward as many copies of your Guide as we may have.

I was surfing on the net and found your great web page. I was so impressed with the contents that I linked your page to the U of T Police website. Then, while at 40 College Street, Toronto Police Headquarters I picked up one of your pamphlets. It looks great. As a result, I would like to order 10,000, because we currently have over 70,000 students.

How exciting to read about Legal Line in our local newspaper ! Temiskaming & District VCARS is a community based program that provides immediate crisis assistance to victims of crime through specially trained community volunteers who are on-call to area police and emergency services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is imperative that we keep our volunteers educated. Please send us 4 boxes of the guides. Do you have a prearranged teaching tool (such as PowerPoint) that I could use to educate our community ?
Judie Martin
Executive Director
Temiskaming & District VCARS (RCMP)
As a lawyer, and a Detective Sergeant, I have reviewed Legal Line, and specifically, the criminal law topics that involve policing issues. I have found the information provided to be accurate and comprehensive. I have met with Police Constable Ed Heinrichs of our Community Policing Support Unit, and we have arranged for the distribution of the Legal Line pamphlets to ALL 53 locations within our Service. They will be accessible to both Service employees and members of the public. Constable Heinrichs has also undertaken to ensure the Units stay supplied with Legal Line guides. Please forward 10,000 copies, or allow me to arrange to have them picked up.

This is a Police Community Station, and many of the people who access this station do so to discuss matters which turn out to be civil issues, rather than criminal. We have found that handing out your pamphlet has been an excellent resource. Please forward as many of the pamphlets as possible. We are down to our last box !

There has been a police presence in the Belleville area for the past 220 years.
