LECTURES TO POLICE FORCE

EXPERTS TO GIVE INSTRUCTION. GREATER EFFICIENCY SOUGHT. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Sept. 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 begin in a few weeks. In making the announcement to-day the commissioner, Mr. W. G. Wohlmann, said the syllabus of the lecture course would cover specialised low ballistics, finger-printing, medical jurisprudence, micro-photography and criminal investigation. Arrangements had been made with men of high scientific qualications and standing in each centre to give lectures monthly at the police headquarters. All detectives and officers would attend, also as many of the uniformed branch as could be accommodated. ‘‘These lectures,” said Mr. Wohlmann, “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 the subjects which they have to deal with daily.”
