Roger F. Gleason, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation, New Haven Field Di- vision, has announced the selection of the Bell City Rifle Range, one mile beyond Lake Compounce, for the first series of Law Enforcement Conferences for 1945. This confer- ence, June 4, will be attended by all of the chiefs of police and members of their staffs from the immediate vicinity.
 The conference idea was first formulated late in 1889 by John Ed gar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investiga ton, as a means of establishing sound security pro- gram throughout the United States, Through these meetings of police officials and members of their de- partments at the Law Enforcement Conferences has come about an eX- cellent working arrangement where by the problem of formally estab- fishing the security angles with re- gard to police work has been accom- plished.
 Actual Raid"
 At each conference there is select ed some certain phase Of police work, which through lecture and demonstration has been presented to the local officers in such a way as to meet their own special prob lens. The program will feature an actual demonstration of a simulated situation wherein a criminal has barricaded himself within a build ing. The placement Of police officers for the safe handling of this type of case will be explained and then an actual raid will be made upon the building with the resultant use of appropriate guns adaptable to this type of police work. Special Agent I. B. Hale, presently assigned to the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will direct this portion of the program. MT. Hale has had extensive experience as an agent throughout the United States and is well-known in Con- necticut where he has appeared as a police instructor at various police schools. He is considered one of the foremost revolver shots in the coun- try and at the present time he is top-ranking contestant in the masters class.
 The fact that demonstration will present a police problem which is encountered only infrequently has caused considerable interest among police officers. The acknowledged danger of such situation is very apparent and it is only through the most careful planning that the talk
