I "N” Division "Depot" Division "Marine" Division "Air" Division (Training) (Training) Annual Report of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ORGANIZATION Headquarters of the Force is located at Ottawa and is headed by the Com- missioner and two Deputy Commissioners. The operational and administrative machinery is broken down into five directorates as indicated in the chart on page 8. The Force is divided into 12 operational and four service divisions which are designated either alphabetically or by name, as shown in the chart on page 10. The operational divisions carry 41 sub-divisions which in turn administer to 637 detachments. With the exception of "G" Division, with Headquarters in Ottawa, each division has a headquarters located within its geographical boundaries. "N" and "Depot" Divisions, at Ottawa and Regina respectively, are training centres, and provide facilities for recruit training, advanced training, Canadian Police College courses and Musical Ride training. "Air" and "Marine" Divisions, with headquarters at Ottawa, are service divisions which provide transportation and llied services in addition to handling enforcement duties. "Air" Division operates 20 aircraft from 17 detachments while "Marine" has 57 boats that patrol both coastal waters as well as numerous inland lakes and waterways. There is a detachment near Innisfail, Alta., for the training and breeding of Police Service Dogs. This detachment, formerly located at Ramsayville, Ont., was moved in October 1965. The breeding and raising of horses is carried out at Fort Walsh, Sask., a detachment of "Depot" Division. This makes a total of 656 detachments.

Criminal Code investigations were up 15.14 percent, offences involving property such as theft, safebreaking, and breaking and entering increased 9.6 percent and offences against the person increased by 11 percent. Murder, attempted murder and manslaughter investigations increased from 92 to 121. Conditions in Doukhobor Communities The Doukhobor situation was again relatively quiet durin e the year, only five depredations known or suspected to have been caused by Svobodniksb or their sympathizers: On January 1, 1965, a CPR crossing signal relay case, situated at Dewdney, B.C., was completely destroyed by a charge of high explosives, with damage estimated at $4,000. On April 24, 1965, an independent Doukhobor village was completely destroyed by lire at Ootechania near Brilliant, B.C. This village consisted of a large brick residence, an unused frame residence and a series of smaller buildings including an older barn. Total damage was estimated at $7,000. On May 10, 1965, an attempt was made to burn a shack in the Svobodnik Camp at Agassiz, B.C. Coal oil had been poured on the floor and ignited. The fire was extinguished by neighboring Svobodniks. On May 28, 1965, a wooden workshop was destroyed by fire at Krestova, B.C. At the same time a wooden shed four feet away caught fire and was gutted. The value of each building and its contents was $1,000. On July 18, 1965, two radical fanatics deliberately set fire to the home and outbuildings of a non-Doukhobor at Rutland, B.C. This fire caused damage in the vicinity of $3,500. Thirteen charges were laid against Svobodniks under the Social Insurance Act for failing to register, but ten were subsequently withdrawn. The remaining three persons pleaded guilty and were each given a six-month suspended sentence and placed on $200 bond. There were no demonstrations or petitions during the court cases, although the usual delegation of women was in attendance. There are 41 male inmates in prison with two females in Kingston Penitentiary. All but three have
