National Army of Police
SPECIALISTS FOR EVERY CRIME. Drastic changes in the police organisation of Great Britain are being formulated at Scotland Yard by Lord Byng. It is., expected that they will be discussed shortly at a Home Office conference to which police chiefs from the provinces are being invited. For some time it has been clear that the existing organisation of county and borough districts lacking co-ordination with Scotland Yard is out-of-date.
Lord Byng is anxious to see the establishment of a national police foroe on the lines of the Army. If the new scheme Is adopted this
country will have a complete new branch of tho Civil Service comprising:— k (1) A national detective force; with (2) Divisional corps to deal with murders, drugs, bandits and other crimes.
(4) A scientific section of chemists and medical consultants to work in conjunction with the rank and file. The whole of the details of the scheme have been drafted, and will be presented to the conference. Many advantages would result from the adoption of the schemes, including the reduction of expenditure and increased efficiency.
