T.W.S. PARSONS, Commissioner of Provincial Police. BRITISH COLUMBIA POLICE

* HEADQUARTERS, GENERAL ORDER NO. 288 Victoria, B.C., ______April 22nd, 1943.

MARKS! !AN5HIP; 1. The marksman course (revolver), discontinued since the outbreak of war, is re-instituted. The course will be fired by all members of the Force (including uniformed special constables) once annually. 2. The course will be fired this year during the period May 1st to June 50th. 3. Due to wartime shortages it will not be possible to permit the sale of reloaded ammunition for practice purposes.

4. For general information the rules governing police pistol practice are briefly as follows: 5. Course: The Camp Perry (or police course) consists of ten (10) shots slow (or deliberate) fire, in two strings of five shots, with a time allowance of ten minutes for the ten shots, including reloading time; ten (10) shots timed fire in two strings of five shots, with a time allowance of twenty seconds for each string of five; ten (10) shots rapid fire, in two strings of five shots, with a time allowance of ten seconds for each string of five. All shooting is,done at 25 yards on the standard 25-yard pistol target.

6. Range Rules: The senior N.C.O. or onstable present will satisfy himself, before shooting commences, that the range is safe for pistol practice. The distance between firing line and targets should be measured to ensure correct distance.

The senior police officer present will undertake, or delegate, the duties of range officer. The range officer will con­ trol all firing and his orders will be implicitly obeyed.

o Satisfying himself that the target (or targets) shows no unpasted shot holes, he will assemble the shooters on the firing line, arranging in advance their proper turn to shoot. Weapons will not be handled on the firing line until the range officer gives the command "Load". Veaoons will then be loaded with five shells and cylinders closed so that the firing pin is on the empty chamber. Without cocking the weapon, it will then be held at an angle of forty-five degrees, pointing either to the ground or up­ wards, the shooter facing the target.

The range officer will then give the commands "Ready on the right", then "Ready on the left" and finally "Ready on the firing line". At this final command the shooter may cock and aim the revolver at the target. There will be a three second pause between "Ready on the firing line" and the whistle which indicates commencement of firing. If no whistle is available the command "Commence" or "Commence firing" will suffice. The whistle or the command "Cease fire" will indicate that the firing time has elapsed. All timing will be done by watch, preferably stop watch.

For each shot fired before or after the whistle, a shot of the highest value shall be deducted from the contestants score.

After the final whistle of each stage of shooting, the range officer will give the command "Unload" and will see that all cylinders are kept open until the revolvers are returned to their holsters. The command "Score targets" will then be given.

No shooter will handle or load any weapon until the range officer so instructs, and no one will advance in front of GENERAL ORDER NO. 288 Page 2 April 22nd, 1945

the firing line while any weapon is held. Scores fob each stage of firing will he marked in the proper places on each man’s score card, and at the termination of shooting each card must be witnessed by the range officer or person in charge. In addition to the calibre, make and model of the weapon on charge to the shooter, its serial number (or numbers) must be shown on the score card. Should any shooter, after commencement of shooting, suffer a malfunction of revolver or ammunition, he should remain in his place on the firing line, holding the weapon straight up in the air. At the conclusion of that string of shots, the shooter will call out ’’Alibi”, and the range officer will inspect the weapon. If the gun or ammunition proves to be at fault, the shooter will be allowed the number of shots he missed, at the elapsed time of that stage of firing. If, for instance, there is a malfunction on the second shot of a rapid fire string, the shooter will be allowed to fire four shots at the rate of two seconds per shot between whistles. In timed fire he will be allowed four seconds per shot. 7,. Scoring; Shots on, or touching, a scoring ring count the higher value. Shots outside the outer ring count as misses. Shots fired on another shooters target will be scored as misses. Targets will be pasted up with black and white pasting paper after each ten shots. 8. Cleaning of weapons; At the conclusion of firing, revolvers must be swabbed out with a wooden cleaning rod and flannel patch, using if possible a solvent such as Young’s 303, Fiendoil, or Hoppe’s No. 9. If these are not obtainable, any light machine oil of good quality can be used. If a wooden cleaning rod is not available, use a stout looped cord, inserting a patch in the loop and pulling through from breach to muzzle. There is no necess­ ity to use a wire or bristle brush, but if used, care should be taken to avoid scraping the muzzle. The ammunition supplied has no corrosive or deleterious effect on the cylinder and barrel of the weapon and there is no need for violent scrubbing, boiling water, etc. Powder smudges on the outside of the weapon and around the cylinder should be wiped off with an oily rag before the weapon is again loaded and holstered.

9. Supplies; All Divisions will be supplied from Q,.M. Stores with enough ammunition for all ranks (including uniformed special constables) to fire fifty rounds, twenty in practice and thirty for record. Ammunition should be distributed from division­ al offices with due regard for economy, and in many instances can be delivered to district and detachment offices by police car in connection with other work. Sufficient targets and centres are also being furnished, together with rolls of black and white paster paper. These rolls should be divided at divisional headquarters into smaller rolls and issued in the ratio of one of black to three of white. Large targets measure 22” x 22” and should be pasted on cardboard or similar material at least two feet square, which in turn is nailed to a light, square, wooden frame. • All empty cartridge cases must be accounted for, and care should be taken to see that they are not carelessly dropped around the firing points or come in contact with dirt or water. Cardboard boxes should be opened without tearing or destroying them, and empty shells should be returned in their boxes, at the direction of divisional commanders, to Q.Ivl. Stores, Victoria. All score cards and empty cases must be returned to Stores by July 15th. GENERAL ORDER NO. S88______Page 3______April 32nd, 1943,

10. Awards: The provisions of paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of General Order No. 215 provide for marksmanship awards and these will continue. Marksmanship badges will be issued as under:

Master Marksman - 275 and over - Grossed revolvers with the letter ,fM"

Expert Marksman - 250 to 274 - Crossed revolvers with the letter "E"

Marksman - 190 to 249 - Crossed revolvers

Marksman badges will be worn on left sleeve between cuff and elbow, and below service stars.

Members of the Force will be required to re-qualify annually and wear the badge of re-classification during the en­ suing year.

HEADQUARTERS GENERAL ORDER NO. 289 Victoria, B.C. May 6th. 1945.

PART I LEAVE OF 1. Adverting to paragraph 2 of General Order 106 and para­ A^SNCE; graph 4 of General Order 147, the Department has been kind enough to rule that t ose members of the Force, who have broken service with this Force, may count their service prior to last date of enlistment toward the required fif­ teen years, which permits the granting of three weeks leave. In this ruling, consideration can only be given to service with the B. 0. Police. Service counted in this manner will only apply to the granting of three weeks leave, and in no way alters the existing method of calculating seniority, i.e. from last date of enlistment. PAY AND 2. General Order 261 (2) is amended insofar as it refers to ALLOWANCES: National Defence Form. The new form is known as T.D.l (Tax Deduction) and all ranks are again reminded that no exemption can be secured unless the form accompanies the report covering changes in marital status - required by paragraph 3 of General Order 32.

MARKSMANSHIP: 3. Reference paragraph 10 of General Order 288: Marksman­ ship badges will be worn on right sleeve between cuff and elbow.

COMMENDATIONS: 1, Regt. No. 397, Corporal Hodgkin, W.L. (Vernon) and Regt. No. 782, Constable Craig, TAT.A. (Vernon) are to be highly commended for smart work in speedily appre­ hending a man responsible for two or more cases of breaking and entering at Vernon.

2. Highly commended for courage and devotion to duty are Regt. No. 722, Constable 3egallie, II.L. , and Regt. No 823, Constable Faryon, A.E.L., both of Dawson Creek Detachment. On the 13th of December, 1942, the lockup building at Dawson Creek was destroyed by fire. A prisoner, confined in the barracks at the time, lost his life. Q,uickly on the scene with others, Constable Faryon most courageously entered the burning building and while attempting the rescue of the prisoner, was over­ come. Constable Begallie, with equal courage, sought out his brother officer and although suffering burns and the effects of smoke, succeeded in dragging his unconscious companion to safety.

The actions of these two Constables were most commend­ able and in the best traditions of the Force.

PERSONNEL - PROMOTION BY EXAMINATION:______

1. Adverting to the instructions given in paragraphs 10, 11, 12 and 13 of General Order 260. 2. The procedure which has been followed in the past in connection with examinations, and which continues, is outlined for general information. 3. Selection: Constables or N.C.O.'s are selected for examination in squads of ten (in order of seniority), and divisional commanders advised of the selection and the time and place of ex­ amination. If twelve months has elapsed since any man (senior to those selected) has failed, then he may submit his name for re­ examination. Divisional Inspectors will advise which of the men selected wish to sit, and submit the written application of any previously failed, who wish to be reconsidered. Those who were unable for any reason to attend a previous examination, or who previously refused to sit, may apply for reconsideration in the same fashion but without the time limit of twelve months.

4. When information from all concerned is summarized at Headquarters, the names of men senior to those originally selected, who wish to attend, will (in order of seniority) go to form a new list of ten names, the names of junior selectees being omitted to the number of senior men eligible for re-examination. Divisional commanders will then be advised of the final list in time for the attendance of those required.

5. The ten men selected will report, in full dress, at the time, date and place directed. The examination will consist of two phases, written and oral.

6. Written Examination: Will comprise four papers, each with a time limit of three hours. Paper No. 1 will con­ sist of questions relating to Federal and Provincial Statutes, Paper No. 2, Criminal Code and Procedure, Paper No. 3 Criminal Investigation, and Paper No. 4, General Educational Standard.

7. Total marks for each paper will be seventy-five (75) points, a total of 300 marks for the four papers.

8. Those writing examinations will be supervised by an Inspector, who will see that each candidate is supplied with necessary writing materials and is undisturbed. The officer in charge will take note of any candidate offering or accepting outside aid and five (5) marks will be deducted from the total of that candidate’s paper when final calculations are made. The Inspector in charge will assign each candidate a number, keeping the identity for his own record, and each candidate will use this number only on each set of examination papers.

9. No one person will prepare or mark all four papers. Those marking papers will remain unaware of the identity of the candidates and the supervising Inspector will not reveal the identity of candidates until all four papers, fully marked and checked, are returned to him.

10. Oral Examination: Two days will be allowed for written examination, and an oral examination will be held on the third day. Oral examination will be before a Board of four or more officers. Officers will sit on examination boards in rotation as far as circumstances will allow. GENERAL ORDER NO. 290 Page 2 May 19th, 1943.

11. Candidates will be examined individually, each member of the Board being supplied with a copy of the candidate's personal history sheet. Those on the Board will analyze the suitability of each candidate for higher rank by viva voce examination, allotting points as under: 1 point for every year of service from last date of enlistment. A maximum of 20 points for record during service. A maximum of 30 points for personality and suitability. A maximum of 25 points for speech and general intelligence. A maximum of 100 points for general knowledge. 12. In allotting points to each candidate the Board should be in agreement; or, if unable to agree on any particular marking, then the average of the Board's opinion for that particular qualification shall be allotted. A maximum of 200 marks is allowed for the oral examination.

13. Under history of service, points will be allowed for commendations, but marks will only be deducted for reprimands recorded within five years of the examination date. Only reprimands and commenda­ tions which have been published in General Orders are noted on Personal History sheets.

14. The results of the oral examination will be prepared by the Chair­ man of the Board, signed by all Board members, and forwarded to Headquarters under Secret & Confidential cover at the first oppor­ tunity after the examination.

15. The Inspector in charge of the written examination will ultimately take charge of all corrected papers and, with the results of the oral examination, make a grand total of results for the information of the Commissioner. Those who qualify for higher rank by an average of 70$ or higher will be issued with certificates to that effect and their names published in the next General Order.

16. As from 1-4-43 the deduction of five marks from the total marks of those sitting a second or subsequent time will be discontinued.

17. Those qualified for higher rank will be promoted as vacancies occur, but in order of seniority, not in order of examination marks.

PART 1 - ADDENDUM

MOVING PICTURE : Attention is drawn to General Order No. 237, June 5, ACT: 1939, regarding Uncensored Films. The Censor of Moving Pictures advises that he has been informed that there have been a certain number of uncensored films shown in some of the theatres throughout the Province. He re­ quests that the police in any district where there is a theatre, outside of the cities of Vancouver and Victoria, make a check once a month or so and should any instances of uncensored films being shown come to the notice of the police, Headquarters must be advised at once. There may be occasions where instead of the censored stamp being embossed on the film a letter containing the written permission of the Censor is attached. BRITISH COLUMBIA POLICE

HEADQUARTERS, GENERAL ORDER NO. 293. VICTORIAi B.C. August 6th, 1943. PART 1.

ADMINISTRATION; 1. The Bridge River Detachment has been closed as and from July 15th, 1943.

HEALTH ACT; 2. The Provincial Board of Health warns that butter clams and mussels on the East Coa3t of Vancouver Island have now become dangerous for human consumption. Steps have been talcen to warn the public that these shell-fish must not be taken or eaten, either raw or cooked, from anywhere on the B.C. Coast from now until further notice.

The shell-fish survey which was commenced last year at the request of the Provincial Board of Health has shown up until recently the only danger area has been the West Cost of Van­ couver Island. Samples now indicate that butter clams and mussels on the East Goast of the Island have reached a dan­ gerous level of toxicity. The survey is being continued to determine the extent of the affected area.

Up to the present time this condition has not affected canned clams, little neck clams, razor clams and oysters.

POLICE CARS AND 3. Genebal Order No. 125 (d/13-1-32) and M.V. Circular #212 LAUNCHES. (d/l-5-35) are hereby cancelled and the following instruct­ ions with regard to the care, upkeep and purchase of supplies for police cars and launches substituted.

All ranks should bear in mind the little likelihood of Police transport being replaced for the duration of the war; Constant care and attention will do much to prolong the use­ fulness of present equipment and the following instructions are set forth as a guide for all ranks.

OPERATION; No motor-vehicle, no matter how well designed, can be operated successfully without the full co-operation of the person driving the same. The car is in his possession and it naturally rests with him to see that the recommended service measures are observed as there are certain items of essential care over which the driver alone has control, and satisfactory results can only be assured if the driver ful­ fills certain definite obligations himself, as follows;

1. To use recommended seasonal grades of lubricants. 2. To check the engine oil level frequently (when fill­ ing up with gasoline is most convenient) and add oil as required, to bring the level up to the "Full" mark on the gauge rod. (Check personally after oil change). 3. To authorize change of the engine oil every 1,000 to 1,200 miles in summer, and 750 to 1,000 miles in win­ ter (more frequently in winter where short runs are the rule). 4. To have the car lubricated regularly. 5. To keep the cooling system filled to the proper level in summer with clear' water and in winter with one of the recommended anti-freezes. 6. To check the t ire pressure at least every week and keep them up to the recommended pressure at all tines. 7. To add dist illed water to the cells of the storage battery every 1,000 miles in cool weather and every 500 milo-s in warm weather, or at least every two weeks.

It is an accepted fact that lack of attention to detail is the governing factor to run dovm equipment. GENERAL ORDER NO. 295 ______- 2 -______August 6 th, 1942.____

POLICE CARS AND LUBRICATION; INC H E S (OQNT’D. Engine oil must not to allowed to drop below tho ' "Safe Driving Range” mark on the Manual Gauge (half way bet- woen ’Full1 and ’Low1). Grades of engine oil to be used' must be; Extremely high temperature S.A.E.50; Average tem­ perature S.A.E.40; Low temperature S.A.E. 30 or 20. Chassis should be lubricated at loast every 1,000 miles and more often if necessary (this to include checking transmission and differential). Motors equipped with oil filters should have these units changed evory 10,000 miles,

BATTERY: Battery connections should be examined and cleaned, as required, and kept painted with an anti-corrosive solution (600 W. is a good solution for this). In winter months, batteries must be kept fully chargod, and if the vehicle is taken off the road the battery must bo removed, charged to full capacity, kept in that condition, and stored where there is no possibility of freezing.

AIR CLEANER: On cars equipped with gauze type air cleaner, they must be removed periodically and gauze section thoroughly washed in gasoline and dipped in fresh oil - oil-bath type as per instructions supplied with the unit •

COOLING SYSTEM: Tho cooling system will require flushing out per­ iodically to remove scale and dirt which may have lodged in tho w ater passages of tho cylinder block and radiator. This is particularly necessary before and after use of anti- freoze solutions. Uso of a rust inhibitor is permitted. Koep alcohol or anti-freezing solution containing alcohol off tho finish or damage will result. If some is accidentally,spilled, flush it off immediately with cold water. Do not rub it off. Drivers of all motor-vehicles will be held responsible for any freezing condition which causes damage to radiator or motor of the vehicle.

TIRES; Attention is re-«iire£fed to G.0. #231. The tire rationing representative of the Rubber Control Board chn no longer supply six ply heavy duty casings for' passenger-typo equipment belonging to this Department. Re-treading service to be made use of as much as possible,

SPEEDOMETERS; Speedometers must be kept in working order at all times, and no excuse will be accepted that mileage was not known as speedometer was not working.

SKID CHAINS; All skid chains and spare links must be kept in good working order. Skid chains issued should bo kept in the vehicle to which they belong.

FINISH - CARE OF; In a great many cases Departmental cars have been neglected insofar as the appearance of the interior and fin­ ished surfaces are concerned. Floor mats will last longer ' if they are brushed off. It is not in keeping with the dig­ nity of the Force to see men driving Departmental cars which show signs of abuse and improper care. Every member of the Force in charge of Departmental equipment will be held re­ sponsible for the general efficiency and appearance of the equipment in his charge. GENERAL ORDER #293, August 6th, 1945.

POLICE CAES AND LAUNCHES (Cont * d). ACCIDENTS; Should an accident occur involving a Departmental motor-vehicle, a full detailed report of the same on Form 19, must bo immediately submitted through the regular channel; one copy of such roport to be forwarded at once to the Div­ isional Transport Branch, and the other copies forwarded for- tlrwith in the usual manner, these to be in addition to' the motor-vehicle accident report required under the 'Motor- vohicle Act". No repairs to the Departmental vehiclos involved must be proceeded with without necessary authority. Insurance carried by the Government only covers third party t where responsibility for the accident lies with the Police. No insurance is carried covering damages incurred to Police vehicles.

REQUISITIONS; By way of explanation of the Purchasing jCommission Circulars ^ of Juno 4th and 19th, 1945 - Requisition's' for” " tires and tubes, with application for tire ration permit attachod, and for any accessory or parts not supplied by the contractor with labor, must bo submitted through the usual channel. It will still be necessary to obtain from The Commissioner, Transport Branch, Victoria, authority for any repairs exceeding $25.00. Requests for work of this nature to be submitted on Form 19. Any work required, as listed below, and not exceed­ ing $25.00, may bo proceeded with on instructions of any mem­ ber of the Transport Branch responsible for the upkeep of equipment in the area; Axles broken Brakes - relining or adjustment Repairs to radiator " " steering gear Transmissions Differentials Clutch repairs

The following may bo obtained without approval of the local Transport Branch; Gasoline Oil, lubricating Oil, changing crank case Oil, transmission & differential Grease Greasing chassis TubeS, repairs to punctured Anti-freeze (unless advised contrary) Charging of batteries Ignition trouble Adjustment of lights and replacing of any globes Stopping of gas tank and crank case leaks Repairs to windshield wipers " " starter w " generator Reasonable towing charges.

FUEL k LUBRICATION SUPPLIES: When obtaining fuel and lubrication supplies a sales slip covering each individual purchase to bo obtained and such sales slips vdll not be honored unless they are signed by the member obtaining such supplies at the time he recoivos them. Invoices for monthly accounts must show speedometer reading for last purchase of gas in that month. GENERAL ORDER #293 - 4- ______August 6th, 1943.

POLICE CARS AND LAUNCHES (Cont»d). INSPECTIONS; From time to time inspect ions will be made of Departmental equipment bjr members of the Transport Branch to see that cars are well services and if it is found that cars are being abused or neglected, the matter will be reported and the individual concerned will be the subject of discip­ linary action. Instructions as to the operation and care of Departmental equipment furnished by members of the Transport Branch must be carried out and in cases where there is any work requiring further authority this must be obtained as aforementioned.

LAUNCHES: Sanction for launch repairs and overhauls must be obtained from the Transport Branch, Headquarters, Victoria. Reports requesting such repairs on Form 19 will suffice (or by radio as in the past).

ADMINISTRATION? 1. Adverting to General Order 293. Bridge River Detach­ ment is re-opened as and from October 1st, 1943,

GAME REGULATIONS 2 . The Game Regulations for the season 1943-44 have been 1943-44: amended as follows, under Order-in-Council #1315 approved September 21st, 1943:-

Under the heading ’Eastern District— Big Game’ the second paragraph of clause (d) of Regulation One be struck out and the following paragraph substituted therefor:

”In the Cariboo Electoral District, and in that portion of the Kamloops Electoral District situate and lying West and North of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and in those portions of the Lillooet Elect­ oral District situate and lying to the North of the 51st parallel of North Latitude and East of the Fraser River, open season from September 15th, 1943, to December 15th, 1943, both dates inclusive.”

MENTAL HOSPIT- 3 . The Deputy Provincial Secretary advises that owing ALS: to failure to notify the relatives of patients on their admission to Essondale, his Department has ex­ perienced some difficulty recently. Authorities at Essondale have been asked to make every possible effort to notify relatives promptly, but in some cases there is no information on the committal papers or other documents transmitted with the patient. It is request­ ed therefore that when a patient, after examination,is committed to the Mental Hospital every effort he made to secure names and addresses of relatives, if any, and to see that this information is supplied to Essondale. This does not, of course, absolve the police from im­ mediately notifying any relatives that may be in the vicinity at the time of the examination,

UNIFORMS AND 4 . Clothing and boot measurement forms recently issued EQUIPMENT: from Q.M. Stores are not being expeditiously returned, Divisional Inspectors should see that these forms are completed and returned as soon as possible.

WORKMEN’S COM- 5 . The Workmen’s Compensation Board draws attention to PENSATION ACT: question 15 on Form 7, Employer’s Report of Accident, f,Have you paid or allowed, or do you intend to pay or allow the injured workman anything for the period of his disability?” The Board notes that in many instances this question is answered in the negative, whereas it should he in the affirmative. Members of the Force injured on duty are maintained on the payroll during the period of disability.

T.W.S. Parsons, Comm"ssioner of Provincial Police, BRITISH COLUMBIA POLICE HEADQUARTERS GENERAL ORDER NO. 297 Victoria, B.C., ______December 4th,1943

PART I

CRIME REPORTS: 1. whenever possible and practicable, a sketch or plan is to accompany the crime report submitted in connection with any serious crime. No particular type of crime nor the extent of its seriousness can be specified and it must be left to the judgment of the N.C.O. or other rank making the crime report as to whether or not a sketch' or plan is desirable in order to make the des­ cription of places and scenes in such report clearer to the reader. It is preferable that the plan be as accurate as poss­ ible and to scale, but this is not essential and very often a rough sketch assists anyone reading the report who has not been to the scene, to better understand the situation being described. CRIMINAL PRO- 2, The Department has ruled that whenever a prisoner is CEDURE;______removed from a gaol or lock-up for the purpose of appearing in Court, the escort should take with him a copy of the document committing such prisoner to the gaol or lock-up from which he is being removed. This ruling applies more to instances where a prisoner is being removed from a common gaol and taken some dist­ ance to the Court, as it frequently happens that the prisoner cannot be returned the same day and it is nec­ essary to hold him at some other gaol or lock-up for the time being, in which case, the Warden or person in charge of such gaol or lock-up in which he was tempor­ arily confined, would have no document authorizing him to hold the prisoner.

In order that the above instructions can be followed without affecting the records of the gaols, all Warrants of Commitment should be obtained in duplicate and both copies delivered with prisoners.

POLICE RADIO: 3. The Department of Transport advises that the radio silence instructions are cancelled so far as private commercial stations are concerned. The radio silence requirements will still apply to Department of Trans­ port coast stations, radio beacons and radio range stations as well as broadcasting stations. Special instructions previously issued to all P0lice wireless operators no longer apply.

COMMENDATIONS: Quoted hereunder for the information of all ranks are communications recently received. From: Rear Admiral V.G.Brodcur, R.C.N. Commandg.Officer, To: Commissioner, B.C.Police, Victoria Pacific Coast. Date: 10.2.44. "The Security Intelligence Officer, Esquimalt, recently had occasion to call upon your department for assistance in a case of suspected sabotage aboard one of H.M.C.Ships. The prompt and efficient manner in which this assistance was rendered is greatly appreciated. Would you be kind enough to express my appreciation to Mr.R.C.B.Cave for his laboratory examination and report,”

From: Major General Pearkes, GOC in 0 , Pacific Command. To: Hon.R.L.Maitland, K.G. Attomey-General. Victoria,BC Date: 7.2.44

”1 wish to express my thanks for the splendid co-operation and help given by the British Columbia Provincial Police during the large scale convoy moves which have just been completed over tho road between Vancouver and Prince George. Commissioner Parsons took a personal interest in this matter, and the efficient highway patrols maintained on his instructions were invaluable. Also daily weather reports were sent in to this Headquarters from five police sectors along the road, and these were of the greatest assistance to us in controlling the move. I am sure these measures helped greatly in keeping down the number of vehicle accidents, and they were much appreciated by all ranks concerned in tho mo vc. ”

From: Air Commodore E.L .McLeod, A. O.C. No.2 Grp. Victoria To: Commissioner, B.C.Police, Victoria. Date: 12.2.44

”It is my desire to bring to your attention an incident which involved your personnel at Campbell River, and which is indeed worthy of praise. On February 1th, 1944, two of our landplanes were forced to land in the water off Cape Mudge. The Officer Commanding R.C.A.F. detachment at Comox Lmracd iat ely contacted Constable Snnals at Campbell Rivor and asked that your boat be sent to tho rescue of the crews. Constables S^W.R.Morrison and H.E.J.Medley proceeded immediately aboard the ”PML 9” toward the scene of the crash. When approximately one half mile south of Campbell River they sighted a Canadian Pacific Airlines aircraft approaching Campbell River. Constable Morrison immediately signalled by Aldis lamp to Capt.Salter, the pilot of the aircraft, and as a result the aircraft turned about and proceeded to the scene. The two R.C.A.F. aircraft had sunk almost immediately and the six men baking up the crews of the aircraft were all in tho water. One nan, being held up by two of his comrades, was rather far gone but fortunately the C.P.A, aircraft arrived in time and flew them to Campbell Rivor. Const.Snnals had notified the hospital to be ready and had ordered a taxi and attempted to get in touch with the local doctor. Immediately tho rescued party arrived, F/0 Swiffen was rushed to the hospital and it required an hour to revive him. The ”PML 9” unaware that the entire crews had been picked up, proceeded to the scene of the accident and commenced dragging operations which were continued for two and a half hours. Thoy picked up a tunic which contained a General Order No.300 Page 2 Feb.14th,1944

wallet and personal papers, along with two cushions. During the dragging the grappling hooks encountered a h e a v y object which stopped the boat and which was assumed to be one of the aircraft in approximately fifty feet of water. A buoy was left to mark the location. The prompt and efficient manner in which the whole incident was handled by Constables Ennals, Morrison and Medley and the initiative shown, is indeed commendable and I would deem it a favour if you would express to them my sincere appreciation on behalf of No.2 Group Headquarters, R.G.A.F. M

In conveying these letters of appreciation to the Force I should like to add my own personal thanks to all concerned for their efficiency and attention to duty.

smoke. There followed an explosion which sent flames twenty feet in the air. The adjoining house caught fire. The constables, unablo to arouse the occupants, had to break in the front door in order to evacuate six adults and seven small children who wore asleop. Again the prompt turning in of an alarm saved the building.

The following letter has boon received from the Air Officer Commandg, No. 2 Group, RCAF, Victoria:

" I wish to bring to your attention an incident which involved your personnel at Port Alice, and which is indeed worthy of praiso. On February 4th, 1944, an R.C.A.F. aircraft crashed in the town of Port Alice. We are advised by the Chief Observer for the Aircraft Dotection Corps at that point that Const,C,A. Bollhouso, who was fortunately close by at tbe time of the crash, took charge of the situation and, with Radio Operator A,H.Muskett, rendered excellent service in-getting two of the five men from the plane, which was aflame, to the local hospital.

The assistance renderod by your two men is indeed commendable and 1 would deom it a favour if you would express to them ny sincere .appreciation on bohalf of No.2 Group Headquarters, R,C,A.F.

To-Air Commodore MacLeod*s communication is added the department’s appreciation of the very-praiseworthy aotion. of Skipper Bellhouse and Operator Muskett,

No.626y Const,D.H.Howell (Ucluelet detachment,) is commended for good work which brought about the arrest and conviction of two men charged with theft from the post office at Ucluelet. Const.P.Xelsberg' (Vancouver) is also- commended for his part in bringing this case to a successful conclusion.

PART I APPLICANTS FOR 1. The following is laid down as the procedure to be ENLISTMENT: followed where ex-members of the force who, having served with His Majesty’s forces during the present war, are discharged and seek re-enlistment in the B.C. Police: 1. Application for re-enlistment in the police must be made within three months of date of discharge from the arnod forces. 2. Physical fitness will be a primary requisite, and the applicant must submit to medical examination by departmental doctor. 3. The applicant must give documentary proof that he joined the armed forces within 30 days of his dis­ charge from the police. 4. If accepted, the candidate is entitled to re-in­ statement at the rank and pay he held when dis­ charged from the police, with seniority in that rank, and to be entitled to wear (and to be paid for) service stars for the period of police ser­ vice preceding his police discharge. MENTAL H0S- 2. The Deputy Provincial Secretary has drawn attention to PITALS:______a number of cases admitted to the Mental Hospital recently in which the "A” forms were signed by the police, although there appear to have been relatives in the vicinity who could have signed the papers. While legally the ’’A” forms can be signed by the police, the Department would much prefer that they be signed by relatives, it being felt that it is a wiser course to have the latter complete the form. Another reason for this request is that the relatives are then made aware that a patient is being taken to the Mental Hospital. In the future, whenever possible the signature of relatives of a patient committed to the Mental Hospital should be obtained rather than the police sign the form themselves.

OATH FORMS - 3. Attention is drawn to the fact that members of the Auxiliary Police; British Columbia Auxiliary Police must be resworn every six months.

VOUCHERS - 4. Under Section 1036 C.C. fines imposed in respect of the Disposition of breach of any of the revenue laws of Canada and fines Fine and Costs in cases under other Federal Statutes initiated by the in Prosecutions Dominion in which Federal authorities bear the cost of under Federal prosecution, belong to the Government of Canada and Statutes: should be paid over to the Receiver General. If there is any doubt as to whether fines are payable to the Dominion or the Provinoe, the case should be referred to Headquarters and a ruling obtained from the Attorney- General’ s Department.

In any case under a Dominion Statute or Regulation in which the fine is paid to the Receiver General if the B.C. Police are put to any expense in connection with the investigation or prosecution, full particulars must be submitted to Headquarters and brought to the atten­ tion of the Attorney-General’s Department so that a claim may be made for a refund of the fine pursuant to the provisions of Section 1037 C.C.

Lane of Powell River Detachment are commended for good work which led to the recent arrest of one Nolan at Powell River charged with break, enter and theft. In this case a jeweller's window was smashed at Powell River in the early morning hours of September 5th, 1943. After follow­ ing numerous leads, suspicion at length centred on Nolan, whose house was searched on the morning of March 6 th, 1944— six months after the commission of the crime. After a two hour search Skipper Allan eventually uncovered all the stolen property (nineteen diamond rings and four watches of a total value of $1770.00) buried in the basement soil. The accused was subsequently sentenced to two years im­ prisonment. Regt. No. 648, Constable J.L. DeVoin and No. 829, Constable D.H. Pye of Castlegar Detachment are oommended for good work in helping to save the Brilliant school from destruct­ ion by fire on the 18th ultimo. Fire started in the cord- wood in the basement and but for the splendid work of the two Constables and a Mr. West of Castlegar, the building would have been totally destroyed.

C 0MMENDATIONS: Regt. No. 826, Cst. Howell, D.H. and Reg. No. 905, Cst. Baker, T.F. (Kimberley detachment) are commended for good work in connection with the case of Rex vs. Dickie (Sec. 386000!). This case involved the theft of six $100 bearer Victory bonds and a twenty dollar bill. Arrested at Camp Shilo, Manitoba, the accused was returned to British Columbia, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months imprisonment. Five bonds were recovered and restitution to the value of the sixth bond and twenty dollar bill was made.

The Air Officer Commanding, Western Air Command has been kind enough to write to the Honourable the Attorney- General as follows:-

"Originating in May 1940, Aircraft Detection Corps was organized throughout Canada to supply advance warning of the possible flights of enemy aircraft to the Defence Forces. Tha Corps has grown to approximately twenty-five hundred civilian members throughout the province of British Columbia, and has been administered by Officers of the R.C.A.F. On November 15th, as the possibility of small scale air attack on this continent is considered to be remote, the Corps is being disbanded.

At the time that the Corps was organized the selection of the highest calibre of citizens as members was considered to be extremely important. It was, therefore, logical that one of the first people to be consulted should be Commissioner T.W.S. Parsons of the British Columbia Police. All of the original one hundred and fifty members of the Corps were selected only after clearing their names with his department. From the very beginning, Commissioner Parsons and his efficient staff have been most co-operative and enthus­ iastic, and as the Corps expanded, the B.C. Police have played an important part in its functioning. , GENERAL -ORDER NO. 512 PART 11 DECEMBER 15th, 1944. Letter continued) Not only has the advice given been most helpful, but as the Corps grew, personnel of every B.C. Police Detach­ ment in British Columbia were appointed as Official Observers of the Corps., and they have given unstintingly of their time and assistance on a purely voluntary basis. On several occasions individual members of the B.C. Police have participated in action which has helped to save the lives of our air-crew, and in saving air­ craft.

The purpose of this letter, therefore., is to express to you, both my personal appreciation and that of the Officers and men in this Command for the assistance and close co-operation of the B..C. Police during the past four and a half years in the development and successful operation of Air-craft Detection Corps.”
