Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: A policeman must be able to get in and out of cars quickly and run fast in a chase or to arrive at an accident. Policemen are not forced to take fitness classes but are strongly encouraged to keep in shape. Harkness also believes the public have more respect for a policeman if they know he is in top form; on and off the job.
