POLICE TRAINING

LECTURE COURSE BY EXPERTS [Pm United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 8. Arrangements have been practically completed for the institution in the four main centres of a series of lectures to detectives and other members of the Police Force by experts. The lectures will begin in a few weeks’ time. Commissioner Wohlmann, making his announcement to-day, said the syllabus of the lecture course would cover specialised low ballistics, finger printing, medical jurisprudence, microphotograpby, and criminal investigation. Arrangements had been made with men of high scientific qualifications and standing in each centre to give lectures monthly at police headquarters. All detectives and officers would attend, together with as many members of the uniformed branch as could be accommodated . “ These lectures,” said Mr AAtehlmann, “ should fill a long-felt want and be the means of bringing the force, particularly the detective branch, to a higher state of efficiency by acquainting both officers and men with the latest information in subjects with which they have to deal daily.”
