POLICE ORGANISATION
Changes Foreshadowed in London COMMISSIONER’S REPORT London, May 2. Lord Trenchard’s annual report as Commissioner of Police foreshadows important changes in the character of the organisation of the Metropolitan Police. The Commissioner emphasises that the entrance examination for candidates for the police force is of the same rudimentary character as a century ago, and he urges that efforts should be made to raise the level. “The old idea that too much mental development was likely to make a policeman discontented with his job,” lie says, “is obsolete. The best brains are essential for? the higher posts. The criminal is becoming more skilful, mobile. and scientific.” Criminals registered iu the Record Office, states the report, total 509,726.
