It was the year of a General .Elect.ion and the various events leading up to and even the Post Election period made it necessary for the AdBillistratioll to r.1obilize and properly deploy all its resources. In that year too, there was a slight increase in the Establishment of Force. A few" nei-T vehicles were acquired and thiS enabled us to increase our mobile patrols, tpus curtniling the movement of cert~in crioinQls. We were also able to continue a good Police/Public relationship and' our image was not blurred. Crimes generally, and RO!ld Traffic Offences i-Tere fairly 1'1"ell controlled, and there 'tlTere no serious industrial unrest. PREP.LiRED BY: WRIGHT F.
