A group of Canadian police officers are at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Manly this week undertaking a residential course as part of theirBachelor of Policingdegree by distance education. The Head of the CSUSchool of Policing Studies, Associate Professor Rosemary Woolston, said the study visit by the nine officers from three Canadian Police Forces -  Durham, Ottawa and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police – was being hosted by CSU's Australian Graduate School of Policing(AGSP) in Manly in conjunction with the Manly Local Area Command (LAC). "The commander of Manly LAC, Superintendent Dave Darcy, has welcomed the Canadian officers to his command where they will observe local police in action," Professor Woolston said. "During their visit the Canadians, most of whom are Inspectors or Senior Sergeants, will provide a fresh set of eyes on policing problems in the Manly area, with a focus on drink-driving, other alcohol-related crimes, and homelessness. They have accompanied Manly police on patrol, have spoken to members of the community including local taxi drivers to gauge their observations about local crime, and have observed sessions at Manly Court. At the conclusion of their visit, the Canadians will present their findings to Superintendent Darcy and a panel of Manly community leaders."
