AUXILIARY POLICE.

ADVANTAGES OF SERVICE. STATEMENT BY COMMISSIONER. AID TO BUSINESS COMMUNITY. (By Telegrapn.—Press Association.) .WELLINGTON, Saturday. The advantage of service in the Auxiliary Police Force both to the reservist and to the community was ■stressed by the Commissioner of Police, Mr W. G.. Wohlmann, in an interview to-day. He saki enlistments in the Auxiliary Force were fairly satisfactory but 'there were vacancies in each of the four centres. So far, only at Auckland, on the occasion of the Duke of Gloucester’s visit had .it been necessary to call up reservists for duty and then only for two or three weeks. Apart from the benefits to the State and to reservists individually the Commissioner said it was expected that employers would value ~ and readily avail themselves .of the services of police reservists, whereby they were assured of the Integrity and trustworthiness of their employees and the_ sense of security to their Interests’ which the presence of such men in 'their service niust necessarily create. There was doubtless also a satisfaction In helping an organisation designed to benefit in a very material way tho business life of their city, by the assurance of peace and good order. Mr Wohlmann added that the Reserve offered the advantage of preference ■selection when vacancies occurred in the regular force.
