POLI(;E BUILDING
BIRMINGHAM'S NEW TRAINING CENTRE
Birmingham's new City Police Training Centre, recently opened by
Sir Edward Dodd, C.B.E., H.M. Chief Inspector of Constabulary
and former chief constable of Birmingham, is of interest not only
to officers of that force but also to the many officers all over the
country who will attend courses there in years to come.
The eight-story block shown in our picture contains residential
accommodation for 118 persons. The two-story blocks house
teaching, recreational and staff facilities and are constructed round
a system of landscaped courtyards. There is a gymnasium, an
indoor riding school and a lecture hall of the type familiar to officers
who have attended lectures and demonstrations in the Hodsall
Hall at the Civil Defence Staff College at
Sunningdale-or
the later
version of this, the Amphitheatre, at the Police College at Bramshill.
Detectives from forces all over England and Wales will attend
C.I.D. courses, at senior and junior level, which will be held four
times a year. Both kinds of course will be fully residential.
