Note: FanClub:0522pes (TORONTO) Metro Toronto Chairman Alan Tonks' idea for a fan club has a fan. Police Chief William McCormack thinks it's a great idea. The Metro Chairman thinks the community may be losing confidence in its police force because of some recent incidents and the rising crime rate. As a result, Tonks feels maybe they're losing confidence in themselves. His idea is to creat a ``fan club'' made up of educators, judges and community leaders. Chief McCormack points out that it's not a ``rah rah'' type of fan club being proposed. Rather, it's a committee of concern to help bridge some gaps. Kelly/CFRB/CKFM
