POLICE VISITS TO SCHOOLS
Instructional Scheme Planned
Policemen are to be trained in educational work for instructional visits to schools the Minister of Police (Mr D. J. Eyre) said at a public meeting in Fendalton last evening.
It was proposed to train 12 men. Their job would be to visit schools to explain the functions of the police service and how the policeman could help them in their everyday life. “This is being done so that children will grow up to know the policeman on- the corner as a friend to go to when they are in trouble or want help,” said Mr Eyre. “At the same time, he stands between them and wrongdoers.’'* Mr Eyre said he felt the future of the service to be good. The service today was happy, efficient and well paid. It had the best training possible, and hours for men would be in accordance with the special nature of duty. A great deal of the credit for these things was due to the Prime Minister (Mr Holland), who had held the police portfolio and had initiated reforms, he said.
