and apprehension of criminals, out- standing legal decisions affecting law enforcement procedures, new traffic control methods, the protection of natural resources such as forests and fisheries, administrative problems overcome by new methods, salary equalization, pension plans, the set- ting of minimum promotional ex- amination standards, many other subjects. International thieves and smug- glers could also be included in the bulletins of such a clearing house, and each such point could keep an accurate record of all law enforcement agencies within its area for mutual assistance and communication. If formed, such clearing houses should be located at some central point with- in the area which each will serve. The personnel could be selected from qualified members of the vari- ous agencies sponsoring such organ- ization. It could include both state and city police forces as well as fed- eral local offices. At first, it might not be necessary to establish a perm- anent headquarters, but periodical meetings could be held to accomplish the objective. Later, if the need for a permanent headquarters is mani- fested through the efficiency of the group, this could be maintained on a pool basis, each department making a contribution proportionate to its size. However, I believe the area which such a clearing house could serve beneficially should not be too extensive, otherwise much of its value would be lost. But, there is nothing to prevent adjacent clearing house areas to exchange bulletins and in- formation, thus affording wide cov- erage, but still retaining the local viewpoint and objective. Another method whereby our mu- tual objective, namely that of public protection, could be attained more rapidly and efficiently, is of uniform- ity in training methods, and the es- tablishment of minimum. standards for various types of duty and locality. We could also derive considerable G. P. Tinker & Co. Ltd. REAL ESTATE RENTALS GENERAL INSURANCE PRINCE RUPERT PEE MONT HOTEL J. Hoskins, Proprietor LICENSED PREMISES PRINCE RUPERT B.C. NINETEENTH EDITION and many,’ benefit from a planned personnel ex- change policy. You probably know, that for some years, school teachers from Canada have been exchanged with other teachers from England. This ex- change is usually for a period of one year, but may be varied according to requirement. This plan has also been extended to other countries I un- derstand. It has been found that both teacher and pupil received a broader outlook, coupled with mu- tual understanding and tolerance for other people and other customs. The countries wherein this plan has been effected, have profited by having the youth of the country appreciate their neighbor's point of view. This pol- icy, if carried far enough would lead to better international relations, mu- tual trust, and respect. Such ‘‘am- bassadors of good-will’? glean the good they find among their neigh- bors, while laying aside that which is not adaptable to local conditions in their own country. FOR FRANKNESS AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING If this plan works in the educa- tional field, why should it not work to equal, or even greater advantage in the law enforcement profession? Many petty jealousies and feelings of distrust would. be banished through frankness and better under- standing. To know a man well, you must work with him, and thus the exchanged officers would bring back to their own forces a spirit of toler- ance, friendship, and brotherhood, as well as learning how to meet new problems, and perhaps, leaving be- hind some worth while impressions in exchange for what he had learned. In our police training depot, where members of municipal police forces ‘oin Our men in common instruction, we find that erstwhile barriers are lowered and a brotherhood of pur- pose formed solely by the study con- tact and mutual assistance during the courses. I can see no valid reason why such an exchange policy could not be wide- ly adopted to the advantage of all. The origin of our law, both in the United States and Canada, springs from one source. Our language is the same. Our ideology is identical. We both believe in the dignity and A. MacKenzie Furniture LIMITED A. MacKENZIE, Proprietor COMPLETE HOME FURNISHINGS Phone 775 PRINCE RUPERT B.C.
