POLICE COLLEGE
INSTITUTION URGED
TRAINING FOR HIGHER RANKS
(BritisU Official Wireless.) RUGBY, 17th February. Sir Leonard Dunning, late Inspector of Constabulary, in a White Paper, just published, advocates the establishment of a Police College, in which policemen can be trained for the higher ranks in the service and special research work could be co-ordinated.
For some time a Sub-Committee of the English Police Council has been considering proposal for the establishment of-a police college. The college proposed is to provide "higher training for posts such as instructor, detective, chief clerk, and other administrative positions, and aiford opportunities such as do not now exist for developing and bringing into more extended use in many branches of police, work scientific aids and modern facilities in the way of communications, transport,, etc." The committee recommended the scheme and was confident that a college would bring about a higher standard of efficiency in the force. A selection board, an entrance examination, the qualification for sergeant, and five years' service wero set out as desirable in all candidates for tho college.
