POLICEMEN’S WIVES
MAY UNDERTAKE WAR WORK APPROVAL OF COMMISSIONER Policemen’s wives, who normally are not permitted, to engage in business without the officer taking the risk of being called upon to resign from the force, may now in appropriate instances and with the approval of the commissioner take employment to assist in the war effort.
The latest issue of the New Zealand Police Journal quotes the following reply made by the Commissioner (Mr D. J. Cummings) to an inquiry on this subject:— “I have to inform you that during the last 18 months where my permission has' been sought to relax regulation 489 so that the services of the wife of a member of the force could be made available for a key position in a Government department due to shortage of staff, I have granted permission. A salary, of course, was paid. “I have no objection to the extension of this concession in appropriate instances. livery application must be submitted to me for approval.”
