POLICE METHODS
STUDIES OVERSEAS NEW ZEALAND DETECTIVES ONE GIVES HIS IMPRESSIONS SYDNEY, May 7. Two New Zealand detectives, Messrs. 11. Murch, Auckland, and W. McLennan, Wellington, reached Sydney to-day in the liner Ormonde, after a trip abroad for studying police methods. (Detective Murch said that although detective work was the same the world over, the magnitude of operations in London was amazing. “We spent some time studying at the Metropolitan Police College, Hendon,” he said “As far as we could see the system of putting public school and university men through the police college and turning them out as inspectors is not working well. Young men take up their jobs lacking the practical experience they would get if they started on the beat. ’ ’ Detective Murch added that there was close co-operation between the metropolitan and county police as a result of the police college and county police were returning to the provinces after their training with advanced metropolitan ideas. Detective Murch and his colleague were much impressed by Uie efficiency of the wireless patrol activities at the information room headquarters in London.
