Three Police Officials Will
Conclude TWo-Month
Tour Today.

Three high-ranking British police
officials were TO wind up swo-month
tour Of Canadian and American cities
today with visit to the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation, which has Won
wide notice in Europe through its
capture of the Nations leading gang
sters and kidnapers.
Heading the delegation is Col.
Frank Brook, chief of the constab-
ulary of England and Wales. With
him are Ronald M. Howe, deputy as
sistant commissioner of the Scotland
Yard criminal investigation depart
ment, and Harry Battley, superintend-
ent Of the yards criminal records
division.
The success of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation in coping with the
powerful criminal element is evidence
that a force which can operate un-
hampered by State boundaries has
distinct advantage" Col. Brook said.
In England, of course, we have no
State boundaries. Our crime problem
is Of different nature, too, because
we do not have the large organized
criminal element to combat that ex-
lists here, perhaps a hold-over from
your prohibition days
kidnapping for ransom is a crime
which does not exist in England. At
least, there have been no such cases in
my experience, which goes back to the
World War, and I can remember
none"
Radio and teletype communication
in police work are more widely en-
ployed in America than in England,
probably because of the great dis
tanCes to be dealt with, Col. Brook
said Scientific aid in crime detec-
tion is receiving increasing attention
in England as it is in this country
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the tour. which has taken
the group to dozen large cities from
New York to Los Angeles, was the
courses in police training inaugurated
by August Vollmer, police chief of
Berkeley Calf, at the University of
California.
specialized training is recognized
as requisite for the present-day po-
lice Official he declared. 1T will not
be possible to give every policeman
college education. but the two-year
courses indicate the trend toward
making police work a real profess
sion. Institution of the courses was a
bold and far-visioned step"
