CIVIL DEFENCE
LAW & ORDER SECTION SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION OPENED. IMPORTANCE EMPHASISED BY MINISTER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. There is an attendance of 29, including 16 representatives of the Police Department from the principal districts of the Dominion, for this week’s law and order specialist course at the Civil Defence School of Instruction. The Civil Defence Minister (Mr Wilson) said today that he looked on the law and order sections of the E.P.S. as next in importance to fire-fighting. Indeed it was doubtful whether they would be less important in a real emergency. A good working agreement between the police and the E.P.S. had been evolved from the recent conference in Wellington. The Director of National Service (Mr J ,S. Hunter) said that although the present course was belated, there was an advantage in the fact that there was now a better appreciation of the importance of specialist training and control. The Regional Commissioner (Lieut.Col. Ciochetto) emphasised the great value of these courses in permitting an inter-change of views among key men assembled from various districts. The authorities, he said, were fostering a mutually helpful spirit of co-operation.
