VALUE PROVED
WOMEN IN POLICE FORCE. TWENTY NOW SERVING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WELLINGTON. This Day. The statement that 20 women police had now come out of training and that it was the policy of the Police Department to encourage others to come forward was made by the Minister in Charge of the Police Department, Mr Webb, when the Police vote was discussed during consideration of Estimates in the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon. Mr Webb, who was replying to Mrs Polson (Opposition, Mid-Canterbury) said the system of women police had passed the experimental stage and the women had proved their value in police social work in New Zealand. Mrs Polson, who asked if more women police were being trained, said she had heard great accounts of the excellent work they were doing. The women of New Zealand were concerned about unfortunate happenings in cities of the Dominion, and she knew the feeling of women everywhere was that more women police should be trained. She hoped the Police Department would not remain content with having doubled the number of women police in the past year.
