BRITISH POLICE COMMISSION
< A FAVOURABLE REPORT VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS Pre« Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 22. (Received March 23, at 11 a.m.) The Police Commission’s report, which, was unanimous, additionally states: “There was little evidence of misconduct in investigating offences, and no evidence of a disposition to trump up charges. Corruption is not unknown, hut greatly exaggerated statements have been made. No case has been established of improper or too zealous interference with the Public Director of Prosecutions. It does nut require a special staff to conduct independent inquiries where policemen are accused of crime. Many public complaints should not be directed against the police, but against the laws. Deponents making statements should be given facilities to have the relatives present. Persons taken into custody at police stations should be allowed, if practicable, to consult their legal advisers and friends. Uniformed women police should be allowed to do general, besides special, detective work. Policewomen should take statements from girls and children in sexual cases.” Australian Press Association.
