Value Of Detective Training.

It often is remarked that detectives are
born and not made and that training can
not make detectives. Police officials, how
ever, realize that additional training can
do no harm and may do good. New York
instructors of detective methods have not
overlooked the man in uniform and very
properly SO, Mai. Pullman believes. for he
says it frequently happens that the first
man on the scene in murder mystery or
other affair Of importance is the uniform
ed man, and If he Is able to grasp the
situation it means much to detectives who
follow him.
Inspector Faurot of the New York de-
partment told Maj. Pullman many inter
esting things about the first real detective
school in the police department, In Chi
cago frequent issues Of an educational
bulletin Of the association of detective
serSeants are distributed to members OF
the police departments.
These bulletins deal with all sorts OF
detective work They contain interesting
instructions in finger print work. tell of
finger prints found at scenes OF crimes,
discuss the application of psychology to
the study of crime and criminals. deal
with memory training and every phase OF
detective work imaginable. NAL Pullman
hopes his department some day will have
the benefit Of training school that will
be second to none in this or any other
country.
