POLICE TRAINING DEPOT
REOPENING FORESHADOWED (From Our Parlia men tabs’ Reporter.) WELLINGTON, August 29. Confirmation of the statement recently made that consideration was being given to the reopening of the police training depot, which was closed four years ago, is given in the annual report of the Commissioner of Police (Mr W. G. Wohlmann), which was tabled in the House of Representatives to-day. “Although the financial stringency has continued to prevent the opening of the depot, which was closed in July, 1930, it is hoped that circumstances will permit of its being reopened early in 1935,”eays Mr Wohltnaun. “ Constables appointed since 1930 have received such training as could be given them at the stations to which they were appointed, but in view of the increasing ratio of constables who have not had the benefit of depot training it is becoming increasingly desirable that future recruits should receive the very necessary grounding in their duties that can best be given in a training depot.”
