Putting Our Security At Risk
Imagine it’s the summer and about 50 per cent of your local police force is
made up of young students who, at best, have completed two weeks of basic
training.
The students wear the uniform and the badge like a police officer. And to the
general public, this is exactly what they appear to be — full-fledged and trained
police officers. 1. __
(D)__
While customs officers’ duties vary greatly from police officers’, their role in
protecting Canada from security threats is just as important. Customs officers
exercise control over the movement of goods, vehicles and people entering
Canada. They intercept drugs and firearms, and identify and examine people who
may present a high risk to security. 2. _____
Yet, despite this intensive training process, each summer the Customs and
Revenue Agency hires university and college students, gives them two to three
weeks of training and then sends them - during the year’s peak travel period - to
perform 95 per cent of the duties of a full-time customs officer. 3. _____
It’s highly unlikely that they have all of the information they need to make
the right call every time they deal with individuals or goods coming into the
country. This is not the vote of confidence Canadians are looking for, especially in
the post-Sept. 11 world where the vulnerability of our borders is of grave concern.
Canada Customs defends the hiring of students by stating that after their
training, students continue to get on-the-job instruction, and they work under the
supervision of experienced, full-time customs officers.
But how much supervision can a student really be expected to rely on when
working alone in an inspection booth? 4. _____
Colette Gentes-Hawn, a spokesperson for Canada Customs and Revenue, is
not concerned with the employment of students as customs officers.5. _____
This is probably true. But, it avoids the more important issue of whether or
not students with very little training can be expected to effectively safeguard
Canada against possible risks to the country’s security.
Student customs officers need to be replaced by more full-time, fully trained
personnel, immediately and regardless of cost. 6. _____
A. The security of Canadians is too important to be put at risk.
B. It doesn’t seem likely that a superintendent by telephone would be much help to
a student.
C. Full-time customs officers go through a rigorous eight-week program at Rigaud
College in Quebec. This is followed by weeks of on-the-job training.
