''The holder of this ljcon.ee. is a minor and must always, when carrying firearms, be accompanied by an adult holder of a firearms licence, as required under Sect. 29 of the Game Act. A letter is on file in the office of the issuer from the parent or guardian of the licensee as required under Section 29". 2.

Ho licence under the game Act must be issued to The mas Ledgate during a period of 12 months after January 6tli, 1928,

INDIAN ACT: The attention of the Department has been called to the fact that from t.iime tc time persons are brought before Magistrates charged with supplying liquor to Indians. The Informations are laid under the Indian Act. As it is a much more serious offence to supply liquor to an Indian than to a white person it is the desire of the Department that where white persons supply liquor to Indians and are convicted, a penalty not less than that provided for in the "Government Liquor Act" shall be imposed. In any such proceedings a request should be made to the Magistrate for imposition of the higher penalty.

VOUCHERS: 4. As a general rule the Department does not allow transportation expenses' on a mileage basis, and only recognises the actual, necessary and reasonable amount paid cut for same. It does, however, allow for officials, etc. using their own cars; this allowance not exceeding in the case of Coroner's, ZOtf per mile, one way. In all cases where personal oars are used, the voucher must, definitely show this information. 5, Vouchers aggregating fairly large amounts are being receivea by the Provincial Secretary's Department on account of meals supplied by members of the Force to destitute transients. The Department recognizes that, this is often a necessity but instructs that casual meals are only to be supplied, after enquiry and when the. officer* is certain that the people concerned are not p o s s e s s e d o m e a n s ,

6, In all cases where witnesses have to be advanced money for transportation expenses the amount must be charged up as an advance and not vcuchered for. PART II January,1928

PU1JCK-BCARPS: 1, (Punch-boards, slot machines and other gambling devices).

Complaints have been received to the effect that punch-boards are being operated throughout the Province and upon coastal steamships. As this is in direct contravention of Section 236 of the Criminal Code all operators of such devices should be warned to discontinue their use immediately, and in the event of non-compliance they should be prosecuted.

It might be borne in mind that the operation of . gambling devices in clubs is equally amenable to Section 236 and licensees should be so advised.

IjjDIAB ACT: 1. Ac- the 1928 edition of th^ Revised Statutes of Canada became effective on the 1st February, 1928 , it has been noted that the numbering of sections in Chapter 98 thereof (Indians) does not co-incide with the numbering of the sections in the Indian Act, 19C6, in several instances, and as this may lead to confusion in reference (particularly when laying charges) and the possible frustration of convictions the attached list is promulgated for the information of all ranks. Copies of the new Indian Act will be issued from Ottawa at an early date, but in the meantime members of the Force will be guided by the numbering given on the attached statement. The first column shews the section numbers in the old Indian.Act, 1906, and the second column gives the section numbers in Chapter 98, ESC.1928.

The Superintendent expresses his appreciation to Sergt.A.McIiei 11 (i/c Prince Rupert District) and Const. A.Grant (Massett Detachment) for the efficient and pain staking manner in which they handled a recent murder case at Massett. Both officers displayed judgement and foresight and their tireless search of many miles of muskeg and brush in search of possible exhibits in the case is worthy of high praise. Appreciation is also expressed to Bergt.Hannah and Const.Harrison of Prince Rupert City Detachment for the courageous manner in which they brought about the arrest of an insane woman who had barricaded herself in her house. Although she was armed with a hand-axe, a rifle and a ,45 calibre revolver, the officers had no hesitation in forcing the door and seizing her. General Order Do.67 February,1028

4. Attention is directed to the necessity of making accurate and detailed reports of the nature , character and extent of the wounds in all cases of violence. Pull notes covering the position and character (with accurate measurements) of gunshot wounds, showing points of entry and exit (if any) should be made at the earliest opportunity. These notes to be later embodied in the crime report. It is suggested that officers make sketches of gunshot wounds cf exit to show the character and extent of damage to flesh and bone. While it is realized that this is sometimes difficult tc do, an attempt should , be made to comply with the instructions. In many instances the Surgeon would nc doubt make the sketch and furnish details of wounds and their effect on the body. Wherever possible it is desired that a constable be present at the autopsy. S •oh officer should make his own observations and report on the wounds, wholly independent of the surgeon performing the autopsy.

EIRE MARSHAL 5. (Printed Fire Report forms). The attention of all ACT: ranks is drawn to the fact that special (yellow) report forms are to be used in -'©porting the destruction of automobiles by fire. Divisional Offices will forward copies of these reports to the Fire Marshal, Vanco ver, in the same manner as the white report forms and duplicates will be transmitted to Headquarters. If the file is of a suspicious character a complete report on Form IS should be submitted with the printed report.

VOUCHERS: 6.

■The Superintendent desires to express to Se rgt .Robt. Owens , Detective Cpl.W.A. IIcBrnyne and Gcnst.R.3.Meadows .his appreciation of the speedy and efficient manner in which they carried cut their investigation of a recent rape case. Within an hour after the offence had be on reported the officers we re successful in bringing about the apprehension of two men, 'who were charged with rape. The girl knew neither of the men’s names but was able to give the licence number of an automobile the men had borrowed.

An expression of appreciation is also due to the HCO i/c II.E.Kootenay District and the Constables stationed at Golden and Athalmer, between whom there appears.to exist a very commendable and co-operative spirit. A recent instance of this was when three men broke into a store at Golden stealing a quantity of foodstuff. Although working with a very poor description of the suspects the unremitting efforts of Sergt. H. V/.King, and Constables P.G.Brown, H. Jennings, W. J. McKay and M.Rutherford were rewarded when two of the men were arrested near At’aimer. In chasing the thi rd man Sergt.King and Const.McKay drove nearly all night in zero weather on the 2nd/3rd March and on their arrival at Athalmer found the train on which the culprit was riding a mile away. Taking to the frozen surface of the lake and travelling at a high rate of speed the officers were successful in catching up with the train after seven miles. The suspect was found on board the train with stolen goeds in his possession.

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: (Preservation of documents). 1. Mr,V/.M,Webb in the course of an article on "Handwriting as a help to Identification" in the new "Police Journal" published in London, England, writes concerning the preservation of documents:-

"Many documents nowadays are of an ephemeral character and the material used for them is such that it will stand but little handling, while pencil may be adopted instead of pen and ink for producing the writing upon them. The result is that by the time an exhibit in a legal case has suffered all the handling with which it usually meets, the paper may be worn and writing, possibly, to some extent oblirerafed. It is important, therefore, that photographs should be taken at the outset, and if an expert has to give an opinion on the original, this should be submitted to him as soon as possible. It is not advisable for pins or paper fasteners to be put through documents which are, or are likely to become, of importance; and in any case they, or wire clips, should never be allowed to injure any writing which has a bearing on the case. If the paper is torn or otherwise damaged before an expert has completed his examination and taken any photographs or photo micrographs which he may require, the document should not be mended by sticking gummed labels upon the back or pasting paper upon it. This should be left for the expert to do, if he thinks it necessary; otherwise crinkles may be produced in the original which may make any writing that runs across them appear distorted in a photograph and lessen its value for the purposes of comparison. When paper is continually folded and unfolded, damage may also be done; it is therefore a good plan to keep documents in envelopes sufficiently large to allow them to lie flat. In the case of a really important paper a still better method is to put it between two sheets of glass of the same size and larger than the paper (of which the edges have been bound with thin paper) and keep them together afterwards by means of elastic bands. This allows both sides of the document to be seen and it can be held up to the light. Notes or exhibit numbers are often added to documents, and, when these are written on the back, great care should be taken that the endorsements do not come exactly behind any writing on the front; for it may be necessary to examine or even photograph the iatter by means of transmitted light, and the paper is often so poor that new writing would show through it and obscure the old even as it appears to the eye or in a direct photograph."

It cannot be too strongly impressed on all ranks that these instructions are important and should be adhered to strictly. In a number of instances lately documents', and particularly photographs,have been almost ruined by a succession of pin holes and clip marks. It should be realized that an important piece of documentary or photographic evidence may be seriously impaired, perhaps completely ruined, through careless handling and thoughtless fastening. AME ACT: 2. Pursuant to Beet.41 of the "Game Act", Chap.98, RSBC 1924, the Regulations made pursuant to the said section by Order in Council No.909 approved 18.8.25 and published in the Gazette of 27.8.25, pages 2650 and 2651, are further amended by Order in Council No,400 approved 27.4.28, as follows;

QUESNEL, B. C. BRITISH COLUMBIA POLICE Headquarters General Order No.72 Victoria,B.C ______June.6, 1928

ADMINISTRATION: 1. As and from the 1st June,1928, Rivers Inlet Detachment will be included in "D" Division.

CRIMINAL CODES: 2. The Hind's Printer, Ottawa, has been asked to supply each detachment of this Force with a new Criminal Code. These Criminal Codes are being forwarded to each District N.C.O. for distribution.

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: (Preservation of documents, exhibits ,etc ). 3. Further to the instructions contained in G.0.#71, relative to the preservation of documents. Mr .M. B. Jackson, K.C. has been good enough to make the suggestion that when officers are seizing any documents or papers by way of evidence they should be careful to take everything. Mr.Jackson instances a case in which very valuable documents and letters were seized, but the envelopes in which the letters were contained were considered of no importance and were not seized, and they were later astutely used by the defence.

4. (Blood stains). The following instructions regarding the preservation of alleged blood stains or marks which it is desired to send to a pathologist for examination may be valuable. The first care should be to see that the blood stains are forwarded as soon as possible after discovery as the fresher they are the more readily do they react to the analytical process and it makes the work of the pathologist easier in determining if certain stains are blood and if so to what group they belong. Mr.C.Ainsworth Mitchell, M.A., F.I.C., Secretary to the Society of Public Analysts, England, writing in the "Police Journal" states: "the latest extension of blood tests is in the direction of establishing a definite character in coagulation or agglutination of the red corpuscles.lt has been shown that there are four definite blood groups, to one of which the blood of any individual can be assigned. the accumulation of a vast amount of data over many years goes to prove that this test may sometimes be of great value in determining the paternity of offspring.... it requires little im&gmnation to see how valuable such a scientific test might have been in some of the notorious cases of disputed paternity." In the same way it requires little imagination to see how valuable such a scientific test may be in cases of violent death.

When sending articles supposed to have blood stains on them, it should be clearly shown with what case the stains are connected, where they were made, and of course the date. This can be done either on a label attached to the article or, if some sort of- container is used, it can be written on the outside of such container. It may be important for the pathologist to know exactly the position of the stains in relation to the surroundings, if in a room, to the articles of furniture, doors and windows,etc. In this case it would facilitate the description if a plan were drawn with the stains clearly indicated, showing windows and doors, all articles of furniture, etc, as well as the position of the body if the case is one of murder. General Order Ho. 7 2_____ ,______Page 2______'______'June 6^1928___' Criminal Procedure: (Blood stains). 5. Dr.West,Pathologist, Prince Rupert,B.C. makes the following suggestions regarding the forwarding of blood cr blood stained articles Blood should be put in perfectly clean and sterilized bottles and the bottles then wrapped in thick paper, preferably blue, so that light can not affect the fluid. If it is desired to send garments they should be placed in clean, sealed, jars wampped in paper. In cases where garments have been in water and it is suspected that blood may be found on them, they should be carefully lifted from the position in which found and placed in a jar or bucket without wringing or unfolding, as a clot of blood that may be in the garment may escape in the wringing or unfolding. Any exhibit that is to be forwarded for analysis should be kept-as cool as possible. ESTATES OF DE CASED 6. Where deaths are investigated, whether accidental or __ PERSOUS: from natural causes, if the deceased person is of foreign birth the officer making the investigation should ascertain as soon as possible the country of origin and at the first opportunity notify the Consul concerned. This information should also be shown on the'report on the occurrence so that a copy may be forwarded from Headquarters to the Consul. It is only necessary in the first instance for the investigating officer to notify the Consul direct of the death. Full details can be sent later through the proper channel.

GENERAL CRDERS: 7. General Order ho.70 (May 3rd, 1928) should be re-numbered 71* GOV'T. 8. With regard to the interpretation of the words "written LIQUOR order" referred to in Section 6, s.s.2 (a), of the ACT: Government Liquor Act, the Supervisor of Law Enforcement, Liquor Control Board, states:

"There is no specified form laid down for the written - order referred to in Section 6, s.s.2, para (a) of the Government Liquor Act, ana so long as the conditions mentioned in that paragraph appear on the written order, all requirements are complied with in this respect. There is no provision in the Government Liquor Act which requires a permit holder to appear personally at a Liquor Store and the general law relating to -principal and agent applies. A permit holder can deliver a written order and his permit to another party with a view to purchasing liquor at a store , without violating oither Section 12 or 46 of the Government Liquor Act."

MOTOR VEHICLE ACT: 9. In every instance where a conviction is obtained under Sect.286 (4) Criminal Code, the Magistrate should be requested to endorse on the back of his report of conviction (which is forwarded to the Motor Branch - HQ) his recommendation as to the length of time he considers the driver's licence of the convicted person should be suspended, or whether he is of the opinion that the same should be cancelled outright. O

General Order No.72 Page 3______June 6~1928 _ MOTOR VEHICLE ACT: 10. With reference to the issuance of licences to juveniles. In a number of instances lately members of the Force have issued licences to persons not fifteen years of age. This is entirely contrary to the Act. TRAPS LIOfi:Of APT: 11. (Community Dance Halls). It is not the Department's intention to levy a tax against the small fraternal or community dances. For general information therefore it is Sot forth that the annual |>200.00 licence fee shall not be collected from clubs which are organized or incorporated under the laws of the Province , who by their accounts can prove that the monies received are applied solc-ly for the maintenance of buildings and the direct object of their social endeavours.

YOUCHER5: 12. Referring to the last paragraph of General Order No. 60: All vouchers drawn on Vote 64 should bear the name of the Branch on which they are d at awn immediately above the word "Subhead". The abbreviations "Police" "Game" "Motor" "C.I.B2 should be used.

C Ci.ilvlENDAT I ON ■: The Superintendent expresses his appreciation to:

Sergt.J.Shirras - Corpl.F.D.Markl'and - Cst.A.C.Sutton

for the capable manner in which they recently terminated the operations of two "card sharpers".

Noticing that two men frequently made round trips by boat from Vancouver to Powell River, Const.Sutton asked that Cpi.Markland travel on the boat to Powell River to ascertain their method of operation. Cn arrival of the boat at Powell River both men were taken into custody and charged under Sect.238 (L) CCC. After conviction they were returned to Vancouver where they were again taken into custody by the Vancouver City Police. One of the men was deported to the United States on 16.5.28 and the other was charged with vagrancy.

It is feared, however, that some of these badges have been inadvertently retained after the completion of temporary employment and the Department is anxious to recover as many of these badges as possible. Where it is known that a police badge is improperly retained, the matter should be immediately reported through the usual channel.

GOVERNMENT LIQUCR ACT: 3. (Letters of Authority - Sec.73). The letters of authority granted by the former Attorney-General are good until cancelled. Those, officers in possession of letters of authority are reminded, however, that this right to search without warrant should only be used in exceptional circumstances, where the services of a Magistrate who can issue a search warrant are not available.

VOUCHERS: 4. The Comptroller-General requests that none but the original or "ribbon" copy of an invoice be attached to voucher: for supplies, materials,etc. In the case of invoi ces approved by the Purchasing Agent, the original approved invoice must be attached to the voucher, All such vouchers amounting to more than $2.00 must either show - in cases where the goods have been previously ordered by the Purchasing Agent - the requisition number of such order, or have attached to same an emergency requisition. Attention is also re-directed to the deduction of any and all discounts allowed, and to the prompt payment of all accounts so that no such discounts be lost.

5. N.C.O's and men on transfer who are unable to quickly find accomodation at their new station will be allowed their hotel expenses until they find accomodation.

CRIME REPORTS: 1. It is not sufficient for officers to remark in Crime reports "..whilst at...I saw a number of people who said.." or "I spoke to several persons in this connection and all of them.." The names of persons interviewed should be given.

APPLICANTS (for enlistment): 2. Posters are being supplied every detachment setting forth the qualifications for enlistment in the B.C. Police. These posters should be placed in a conspicuous position inside each police building, and applications for enlistment must not be received from candidates who do not comply with the requirements. GAME ACT: 3. The Department has ruled that Canadian born Chinese are entitled to the same rights to the issue of a permit for carrying firearms as white Canadians.

4. By Order in Council No.957, approved Sept.28th,1928, the Game Regulations 1928-1929 made by Order in Council No.773 (27.7.28) are amended in respect to the open season for pheasants in the Western District by adding to Clause (w) of said Regulations the following paragraph:-

"Provided that the open season on pheasants shall not commence before the hour of 7.a.m. on October 15th, 1928." 5. By Order in Council No.913, approved Sept.6th,1928, the Game Regulations 1928-1929 , made by Order in Council No.773 (27.7.28) are amended in respect to the open season for Moose in the Eastern District by the addition of the following after the first paragraph of clause (a):

"In that portion of the' Omineca Electoral District situate and lying to the south of the main line of the Canadian National Railway, formerly known as Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, except the watershed of the Bulkeley River and tributaries thereof, open season from September 1st,1928 to December 15th,1928, both dates inclusive."

HIGHWAY ACT: 6. (Stage Certificates). As extra sightseeing cars and stages are often put into operation during the summer season without the Department of Public Works being notified, members of the Force should report, all stages they see operating without the small white P.W.D. special Permit Plates. The report should embody the following particulars:-

(a) Where seen, (b) Time. (c) Name and address of owner. (d B.C.licence number (e) Description and seating capacity of vehicle. General Order Mo.77 Page 2 Oct.4th. 1926 OPIUM & NARCOTIC DRUG ACT: 7.

The Chief, Narcotic Division Department of Health Ottawa, Ont. MOTOR VEHICLE ACT: 8. Under Lection 15 of the "Motor Vehicle Act" it is imperative that in the case of any accident caused owing to the presence of a motor-vohicle on any highway, a report shall be submitted by the person in charge of such motor-vohicle within 48 hours to a member of this Department. On their receipt such reports should bo promptly forwarded to Headquarters through the usual channel. In a few instances recently where accidents havo occurred involving two motor vehicles the party in chargo of one car has reported but the other person has not, and the latter, of course, should have been prosecuted. In order to obviate the difficulty incurred through the driver of one car reporting to one detachment and the other driver reporting to another detachment, in future all reports of accidents received should be forwarded to the detachment having control of tho area where tho accident occurred. In all cases where no report is submitted an Information should be laid against the person whose duty it is to make such report. If, in any accident report submitted, there is evidence to support a prosecution for an infraction of the "Motor-vehicle Act" such prosecution should ensue.

CIVII. PROCEDURE: 1.' Attention of all ranks is drawn to the fact that interference in civil matters is to be avoided, Apart from the possibility of engendering animus, the Force is not concerned with, nor should its personnel offer advice upon, such subjects. The only authority provided for, and on no account is it to be exceeded, is the service of documents received through a Sheriff's office. In future, therefore, persons seeki -g anfor. ation upon purely civrl matters should be referred to local members of the legal profession.

ESTATES OF PLCIDe CCD PER30U3: 2. Re’ferring~To para.5 of 1.0.;,-2. Co.,stables must not undertake the expense of a funeral without first ascertaining the wishes of the Official Administrator in that regard. In a recent instance a funeral was given a deceased person which was quite out of proportion to the amount of his estate.

KOTOR VEHICLE ACT: ~~o. (Kotor Dealer's Reports). Section 4, s.s.8, "Motor Vehicle Act" provides for a report from all motor vehicle dealers on June 50th Qnb Deo.51st in each year. In the past, dealers have been circularized with letters of instruction and forms to fill out, but in a number of instances when cheeking up dealers for failing to report they have made the excuse that the reports must have been lost in the mail. In order to obviate this, District H.C.O's are being supplied with report forms and Constables on detachment should obtain from their District Headquarters office a sufficient number of report forms to cover the motor dealers in their detachment area. Each dealer should be supplied with a form and requested to fill the same up and return it to the detachment. Upon receiving these completed forms, with the necessary Statutory Declaration, Constables will forward thorn to He-udquarters - Kotor Branch - through the usual channel»

4. (1928 fore igr. motor licences). After the lbth January, 1929, persons operating foreign motor Vehicles in British Columbia under 1928 plates should be checked up, and, if they cannot give satisfactory proof that they have made- application for 'their 1929 plates, they should be prosecuted.

5. (Accident Reports). Further to para.8 of G.0.77. Accident reports should bear a notation when a prosecution has ensued.

IHDIGEHTS: 6. Uhen copies of reports in destitution cases are handed to a Government Agent, then the original report transmitted to H'> should bear a notation to that effect.

VOUCHERS: 7. P,-ra.5 of General Order Ko*b is hereby cancelled.

Members of the Force,having charge of a new' police car will, for the future, rigidly adhere to the following lubrication instructions: 1st Change of Oil at 200 miles. 2nd " " " 500 " 3rd " " " 1000 " The best lOC^o Pennsylvania Oil obtainable should be used.

After the car has run 1,000 miles oil should be changed every 800 miles in Summer and every 600 in Winter. New cars must not be driven at a greater rate of speed than 25 miles per hour for the first 1,500 miles.

All modern cars are guaranteed by the manufacturer against defects and for inspection service for 90 days and full advantage should be taken of this offer. Any defects in a new vehicle should be at once reported to the dealer who supplied the car, and to Headquarters (Motor Branch) through Officers Commanding Divisions.

GAME ACT. 5. Resident - Special Firearms Licence No. 34183, issued to Robert Malcolm Wylie of Dome Creek,B.C., on October 15th, 1928, by Const. H. L. McKenney, Giscome, B.C., has been cancelled. No licence under the Game Act must be issued tc said Wylie until April 12th, 1930, and should said Wylie apply for a licence after this date then his application should be referred to Headquarters before the licence is issued.

•ICT 0 R -»VEHIC LE ACT 6. The attention of all .ranks is drawn to the provisions of the "Motor-vehicle Act Amendment Act 1929" especially to Sections 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 16.

Section 5 amends section 15 of the Act to provide that all reports of accidents be submitted to the Provincial police officer or constable stationed nearest to the place where the accident occurred. This will obviate any confusion in haring one party to the accident make his report to one detachment and the other party to a detachment possibly a hundred miles or more away. In oases of accidents where pace two or more cart: are involved reports should be obtained from the drivers of such ears and reports bearing on the same acc .aent .should bo fastened together and submitted in accordance with previous instructions. Should a report not be received from one, or both, of the drivers involved v/iihan a specified time, the necessary action should be taken.

Section 10 amends clause (d) of subsection 1 of Section 27 of the act to provide against the wrongful use or possession cf a driver5s licence*

Section 11 provides a new clause (h), in subsection 1 of section 27, and is self explanatory.

Section 12 amends subsection 8 of section 29 of the Act to provide a minimum of .,jl5 for an infraction of clause (g) of subsection 1 of Section 27*

Section 13, subsection 2, adds a new subsection (6) to Section 29 B, providing for the immediate surrender and suspension of the drivers licence of any person arrested or indicted on a charge of manslaughter in respect of the death of any person occasioned by an accident in which a motor vehicle driven or operated by the holder was involved*

Learners 1 Drivers1 Licences. As it is necessary that officials issuing Drivers' licences be satisfied as to the fitness and ability of the applicant to drive a motor- vehicle before issuing him with a Driver’s Licence, pro vision has been made by Section 4, which amends Subsection 3 of Section 9A of the Motor-vehicle Act, to issue a Learner’s Driver’s Licence to cover cases in which an applicant for a Driver’s Licence cannot drive a motor- vehicle. Learners' Drivers’ Licences are only good for 30 days from the date of issue and are only to be used when the holder of the licence is accompanied by an adult holder of a Driver's Licence who occupies the seat beside hirn, an exception as to being su accompanied being made in the case of a motor-cycle* At the end of the 30 day period such Learner’s Driver's Licence .must be returned by the holder thereof and an application made by him for a Driver’s Licence.

Motor-vehicle Dealers * The schedule of fees has been amended to provide for the issuance of a licence to a dealer in motor-vehioles end trailers upon payment of a fee of v25.00, which entitles the licensee to the use and privilege of one set of demonstration number plates. Dealers’ Licences are not subject to a quarterly reduction.

Your attention is particularly directed to the definition of "Dealer” as set out in Section 2 of the Aem. It has been contended by some dealers that their agents cannot be classed as branches or other places of business as all bookkeeping, etc. is done at the head office and these outside places of business are eimply contact point3* Such contention of the dealers is not sound* ft is a very easy matter for a dealer- to have all his bookkeeping and office work done at one place while he operates from a dozen and in this connection your attention is drawn to Section 4, Suesaction 3. of the Motor-vehicle Act. The onus of proof is or. the dealer. Ilease see that all persons v/no come within the definition cf dealer within your district tale out. a Dealer's Licence immediately.

Foi '•■’me n ’s Licences. In a number of cases it has been brought to my attention that there is an imrv sssio.n to the effect that the holder of a Dealer’s Licence does not require to have a Salesman’s Licence while driving a car PAGE 3.

bearing demonstration number platos. This impression is erroneous. Every person, whether they hold a Dealer's Licence or otherwise, must comply with the provisions of Sections 4A and 4B of the Motor-vehicle Act..

Section 16 provides 2 new clauses (f) and (k) to section 39 and in accordance with the provisions contained there in, che following regulations were approved by Order-in- Council #599 on the 23rd of April 1929:-

" . Headq.uart.ers GENERAL ORDER No.88 Victoria, B.C. ______July 27, 1929. ODIUM ANN NARCOTIC DRUG ACT 1929.

The Opium and Narcotic Drug Act 1923 has been repealed and a new Act has been passed. A sufficient number of copies of the new Act have been forwarded to Division Headquarters for distribution to each Detachment. For the convenience of the Force the following changes are noted:-

SHQRT TITLE. This has been changed to Opium and Narcotic Drug Act 1929. Care should be taken in laying information to see. that the title is set out as ab.o\'e and not Opium and Narcotic Drug Act 1923 as formerly. (It might be important here to draw, the attention of all ranks to General Order No.25.)

INTERPRETATION♦ Attention is drawn to the addition of the following definition - Retail Druggist. Department now means the Department of Pensions and National Health, and Minister means the Minister presiding over the Department of Pensions and National Health.

SECTION 4. In Sub-section 1(f) it will be noted that after the words "any drug" the words "or any substance represented or held cut by such person to be a drug" have been added. There have been several cases in which the drug actually handled in a narcotic transaction proved to be Novocaine, which is not dealt with under the Act. In some of these eases, the trafficker was honestly of the opinion that he was handling a Narcotic Drug, and in view of the increasing use of Novocaine in this regard, this addition to the Act is considered necessary. Also in that part of Sub-section 1(f) dealing with penalties the words "and costs" have been deleted. In the opinion of the Justice Department, it was considered preferable to delete the word "criminal" as also all reference to costs, thus leaving action in regard to costs to be taken as provided by the Criminal Code. The words "and, in addition, at the discretion of the Judge, to be whipped" have been added. Provision is therefore now made for whipping, at the discretion of the Judge, in all trafficking cases, and not only, as hitherto, in cases which merely involved supplying narcotics to a minor.

SECTION 5. This Section now commences with the words "Except as provided in Section 8 of this Act". A druggist carrying on a business in a bona fide drug store is now referred to as a "retail druggist", and the words "except where the preparation covered by the prescription might lav/fully have been sold in the first instance without a written order or prescription under the provisions of Section 9 of this Act" have been deleted.

SECTION 6. Sub-section (2) has been added to this Section, providing for the imposition of not less than the minimum penalty prescribed.

SECTION 7. The provisions of paragraph (a) of Sub-section (1) of Section 4 have been made part of this Section in addition to paragraphs (d) and (f). The provisions of Section 13 have also been made applicable.

SECTION 8. This Section appears to have been re-cast with very little change. Sub-section (3) of the original Act now becomes Sub-section (2) and the words "except a physician" have been introduced into this Sub-section. SECTION 10. This Section is entirely new. It is intended to cover the situation where addicts obtain supplies from more than one physician. Except us shown that where an addict is undergoing treatment at the hands of a physician who honestly believes he is effecting substantial reduction in the amount prescribed, as soon as the addict begins to suffer inconvenience he will offer himself for treatment to another physician and by that means obtain an amount of the drug of addiction equal to or even in excess of that he was originally taking. This provision already foiuris part of the law in Great Britain. General Order No.88 Page 2 27-7-29*

SECTION 11. This was Section 10 of the old Act. The words "where any article capable of being used as or as part of any such pipe, lamp or other device or apparatus" have been added. Sub-section (2) of this Section provides a minimum fine of not less than $50.00.

SECTION 12. This was Section 11 of the old Act. This Section also provides for a mimimum fine of not less than $50.00. This is very- important. Recently a Crime Report was received where a fine of $26.00 was imposed after the repeal of the "Opium and Narcotic Drug Act 1923".

SECTION 1ft. This is an entirely new Section. It is aimed exclusively at the trafficker, as there is a considerable mail order narcotic traffic being conducted at the present time, while the use of the mails by properly licenced wholesalers in so far as narcotics are concerned is negligible. Sub-section (2) of this Section has been included to avoid the necessity of calling witnesses from long distances to establish facts which an affidavit could properly cover.

SECTION 14. This was Section 12 of the old Act. The word "may" in the third line of the old Section 12 has been altered to "shall" in order that imprisonment may be imposed as an alternative to the paymeni of any fines.

SECTION 15. This was Section 13 of the old Act.

SECTION 16. This was Section 14 of the old Act. Sub-section (2) has been revised. There is no change in the principles as re-casted.

SECTION 17. This was Section 15 of the old Act.

SECTION.18. This Section is new. It is a re-draft of Section 16 of the old Act, and has been done as a result of a decision in the Courts which rendered the change adviseable.

SECTION 19. This v/as Section 17 of the old Act. It will be noticed that in addition to the power to search for drugs, provision has been made for seizure of any opium pipe, opium lamp or other device or apparatus found in the course of such search. A new Sub-section has been added providing for the Magistrate to deliver drugs found under the provisions of the preceding two Sections to the Minister. SECTION 20. This was Section 19 of the old Act. Provision has been made for drugs found by search warrant and drugs the property of persons convicted. Provision is now made for drugs coming into the possession of the Department under ether circumstances, such as by finding. This Section also provides for forfeiture to the Crown of drugs seized or found.

SECTION 21. This was Section 18 of the old Act. This Section has been re-drafted, as at present it does not cover the circumstances encountered in dealing with Narcotic cases. It v/as also found necessary to make Statutory provision for the forfeiture to the Crown of money paid for drugs and subsequently recovered, there being no question of the identity of such money on account of the similarity of numbers, private marks, etc.

Section 20 of the old Act has been abolished as in the opinion of the lawyers handling narcotic cases and of the Department of Justice no good purpose would be served by its retention.

SECTION £2. This is a new Section.

SECTION 23. This was Section 21 of the old Act. It will be noticed that the v/ords "opium pipe or other article" have been included as in Sections 19, 20 and 21. A new Sub-section (2) has been added, providing for the designation by the Governor in Council of duly qualified analysts. © o •:eneral Order Ho. 88 Page 3 27-7889.

SECTION £4. This was Section 22 of the old Act.

SECTION 25. This was Section 23 of the old Act.

SECTION 26, This was Section 24 of the old Act.

SECTION 27. This was Section 25 of the old Act.

SECTION 28. This is a new Section.

SCHEDULE.

Derivatives of Cocaine and Morphine have "been included. It was considered necessary to include all derivatives of Cocaine and Morphine in order to cover various preparations which from time tc time are dealt with by the Opium Convention. It will also be noticed' that "Gannibis Indica" has been altered to "Cannibis Sativa and its preparations”. Authorities now agree that Cannibis Indica is merely a variety of Cannibis Sativa. The plant contains the same essential ingredients whether in India, Persia, Africa or America,and consequently the wider definition is required.

As and from the 1st August, 1929, Canal Flats Detachment will be included in Fernie District ("S’' Division) instead j of North-East Kootenay District (”C” Division).

CRIME REPORTS: 2. (;,Game Act” Crime Reports). Only those cases under the j “Came Act” that are actually initiated by members of this i Force should be reported by way of Crime Reports in the usual way. If cases are initiated by Game Wardens then j they should be reported by those Game Wardens. j

3. Attention is again drawn to General Order No.57. There is a tendency, becoming more noticeable, for officers making reports to apply the instructions contained in para. 2 of G.0.57 to reports needing explanation and elucidation of the offence. General Order No.57 was drafted in order t& save as much clerical work as possible to the officer in charge of a detachment and was really intended to apply to minor and technical breaches of the Statutes, or By-laws and some offences under the Criminal Code, in the mere naming of which the particulars are complete. But there are also numerous cases of what might be termed minor infractions of the law that could be committed in a number of different forms. It is not sufficient then to name the offence but details must be given of how the offence was committed. Reference was made in G.0.57 to Sect.13 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Crime Reports have been received lately so lacking in detail that it was impossible to receive any impression as to how the offence was committed. No definite rule or sot of rules can be laid down nor is it possible to compile a list showing those offences that can be classified under one heading or another. Much must necessarily be left to the judgement of the officer making out tho report, but the inclination to err on the side of excessive brevity might be avoided if the writer remomborod at all times that ho is the only one who knows the facts of the caso; that these facts have to be transmitted to others and that it is only through the medium of his report that they can be transmitted. In other words, he should ask himself this question; "Would I have a clear idea of what took place after reading this report if I knew nothing of the subject previously” . At the same time care must bo exercised to avoid superfluous wording and needless ropotition. Make the report a concise plain statement of the facts in short simple sentences.

CRIMINAL CODES: 4. 1928 and 1929 Amendments to The Criminal Code and Dominion statutes are being forwarded to Divisional Headquarters for distribution to all detachments. N.C.O’s and Constables in charge of detachments should see that those amendments are pasted in the front of the Criminal Codes in their charge.

JRIMINAL 5. With reference to /oara.2 of G.0.47, These instructions PROCEDURE: are amplified in so far that there must bo no w ithdrawal of charges without the approval of Headquarters’.

ESCORTS: 6. Para.3 of G.0.83 is hereby cancelled. Wives of police officers temporarily employed as matrons will be paid at the rate of ^2.50 per diem, plus meals, travelling Officers Commanding Divisions should scrutinize the vouchers carefully and see that the time taken on these escorts is reasonable.

FINGERPRINTS: 7. With reference to G. 0.//50. Tho words "in lawful custody'' should bo substituted for tho word "arrested" in tho fourth lino of tho instructions regarding finger printing.

GAME ACT: 8. (Issuance of Firearms Liconcos). Tho following instructions have boon issued by the Game Commissioner, Vancouver, to all Government Agents, and members of the Force who issue Game Licences should boar them in mind:-

• "It has boon brought to my attention that in connection with Non-Resident Daily Anglor’s Licences, in quite a numbor of instances only One Dollar has boon charged for a licence covering portions of two days. I shall, therefore, bo obliged if you will kindly instruct all licence issuers in your Agoncy that, undor the provisions of Section 23-A of the Game Act, a Non-rosidont carrying or having fishing tackle in his possession must bo in possession of a licence for this purpose. A licence must bo in the possession of any non-resident carrying fishing tackle from tho time he enters the Province until the time he loaves, even though he may not do any fishing. This vd. 11 not apply to non-residents carrying firearms or fishing tackle while travelling in a public conveyance either by land or water or while bona fide proceeding to or from any such public conveyance. A privato automobile should not bo considorod as a public conveyance. It has further been drawn to my attention that in a numbor / of instances, firearms liconccs have been issued to minors / without there being filed, .in tho issuing offico tho / guarantee required by Section 29 of tho Game Act, and j licence issuers in your Agoncy should bo instructed that, f in all cases where liconccs are issued to minors without 1 there being filed in the issuing offico the guarantee \ required by Section 29 of the Game Act, and licence issuers i in your Agency should be instructed that in all eases where licences arc issued to minors, the written consent of such i minor's parent or guardian as required under Sect.29, must \ be obtained and filed in tho issuing office, and one of the yellow stickers furnished should be pasted on the back \ of tho licence issued to such minor. These licence stickers V.. can be obtained on application to this offico."

LORD'S DAY ACT : 9. Attention of all ranks is drawn to para.7 of G.0.85, dealing with tho enforcement of tho Lord's Day Act. It has come to my attention that there is a certain amount of misunderstanding with regard to prosecuting infractions of the Lord’s Day Act, and officers are inclined to tako the view that thojr arc not in a. position to tako any stops. ’7hilc it is true that the fiat of the Honourable the Attorney-General must bo obtained before prosecution can be launched, nevertheless, Constables should report any apparent infractions of the Act so that the views of tho Department can be obtained. MOTOR VEHICLE ACT: 10. Applicant’s for driver’s licences who havo only ono log or one arm must be asked to submit to a test qs to their ability to drive.

STOCK BRAND ' ACT: 11. Hereunder for tho information of all ranks is tho form: which must in future be used when Brand Inspectors appoint Deputy Brand Inspectors:-

"By virtue of tho power conforrod on mo by the "Stock Brands Act" I hereby appoint...... of...... to be a Deputy Brand Inspector.

Brand Inspector Divisional Commanders will transmit two copies of these letters of appointment to HQ. Pqqo A?.P,_19_2 9

VITAL STATISTICS; 12. ~ Under date of the 22nd August, 1929, tho Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriagos, Victoria, wroto to all District Registrars of Vital Statistics in tho Provinco:-

!,Tiio Vital Statistics Dopartmcnt desires that you shall extend to the'Provi ncial Police officers and Constables every assistance possiblo to facilitate the work of their Department.

For this purpose use a blank registration form, marking it: "For Provincial Police purposes only". On no account must the numbered certificates bo used."

COMMENDATION: The Superintendent expresses his appreciation to Sergt. W. J.SERVICE, CORPORAL A.FAIRBAIRN, and CONSTABLES G.A. '"YMAN AND J.TATE of Smithors District for the manner in which they carried out thoir duties during the period July 17th to 28th, in connection with the Royal Bank robbery at Smithcrs and the subsequent capture of the robber.

GAME ACT: 1. The attention of all ranks is particularly drawn to Sect. 47 of the "Game Act". As between officials of the Game and the Police departments, a close co-operation should exist and each, where one is absent, is expected-- compatible with the departmental requirements of his own branch to assist in furthering the objectives of the other. The provisions laid down in General Order. No.91 for reporting Statutory game offences apply equally to such other game matters as the police may be called upon to deal with.

2. (Registration of Trap Lines). With reference to G.0.89 and particularly the registration of trap lines in "B" Division. Trap line registrations in "B" Division are to be forwarded in future to Game Warden H.H.Creese, Nelson, B.C. instead of to the Game Warden at Elk Prairie, B.C. VOUCHERS: 3. Purchase of blankets for the use of prisoners should be debited under "Provisions, etc." but the subsequent washing of such blankets should be charged to "Janitor’s Supplies".

4. The following paragraph is quoted from a circular issued to all Government Agents by the Attorney-General’s Department on the 27th June, 1929:-

"Vouchers covering fees or expenses arising out of or in connection with Coroner’s Inquests or Inquiries, are to be forwarded unpaid to this office; as well as vouchers covering Court Stenographer’s fees and expenses attending preliminary hearings, Supreme or County Court trials, etc. Any such unpaid vouchers so forv/arded must be certified to by the Coroner or Clerk of the Court, as the case may be."

ADMINISTRATION; 1. As and from the 1st November, 1929, Nakusp Detachment shall be included in North East Kootenay District, "C" Division.

MOTOR VEHICLE ACT: 2. (Headlight testing screens). Further to General Order #92. The following instructions with regard to testing headlights are given for general information; Place motor vehicle 25’ from, testing screen, on a line parallel to screen; centre of radiator to be opposite centre of screen. Measure distance between the ground and the . centre of headlight. Subtract from this distance loading allowance in accordance with style and wheelbase of car. (See loading allowance table below). The beam of light must not shin'? above the height thus obtained. The car should be empty when testing. LOADING ALLOWANCE TABLE Wheelbase Touring Sedan Coupe Roadster 100-110 "" 7" 6" 5” o 110-120 7” 6" 5" 4s' 120-130 6” 5” 4*» 4” 130-140 5" 4” 3” 3"

Headlight glare is principally caused through headlights which are either incorrectly focussed and/or incorrectly aimed. It is not expected that members of the Force are to correct the focus of headlights as this would take up too much time. When it is found, upon testing headlights on the screen, that the same do not comply with the fore going, the driver of the motor vehicle should be given a check-up slip in accordance with previous instructions.

The principal method of focusing headlights is given below for general information; ::emove headlight lens, move lamp bulb backward or forward until the smallest and brightest pattern of light is obtained on the screen or wall 25 feet distant, with well- defined upper cut-off. The majority of headlight lamps have a screw on the back which moves the bulb either back ward or forward by turning to right or left. When headlights are properly focused, the beam should be aimed as above.

POLICE CARS: 3. The present year has been particularly disastrous in the matter of cars that have been damaged and it seems necessary to point out that some of these cases seem to be due to carelessness. The utmost care must be taken both in driving departmental cars and seeing that they are maintained in proper mechanical condition, as expensive repairs and replacements are becoming more and more numerous. No further now cars can bo supplied this year and every effort must be made to economize in order to keep within the current appropriation.

REQUISITIONS: 4. Officers Commanding Divisions will please see that-- save in exceptional circumstances emergency requisitions are not used...... V W - BRITISH COLUMBIA POLICE Headquarter"s GENERAL. ORDER No. 96 Victoria,B.C Dec*2nd,1939

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: 1. further to General Orders Nos,47 and 90. It has been ruled by the Deputy Attorney-General that, when a( person seeking redress for a wrong committed, sets the machinery^of the law in motion, he has taken a step which he cannot retrace and it is only the proper (Departmental) authority in the circumstances which can consent to a withdrawal or discontinuance..

VOUCHERS: 2. (Cheep Protection Act). Where specific complaints are received of dogs worrying or killing sheep, it is the Opinion of the Department that the expenses of investigating such complaints fall within the "administration” of the "Sheep Protection Act" and that the provisions of sub-sisection 2 of Sec.15 of the Act should be applied insofar as the "Dog Tax Fund" is concerned.
