DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
The Police College at Bramshill and the Police Training Centres
in England and Wales, as well as the Scottish Police College, have
a fine record and reputation as hosts to police officers visiting Great
Britain from overseas, and a brief entry we noticed in the annual
report of H.M. Inspectors is worthy
of
comment.
"In
addition to the officers who attended courses, visits to
selected county and borough forces were arranged for 134 police
officers belonging to 21Commonwealth and Colonial police forces
and 10foreign forces. These visits, which were for periods varying
from a few days to ten weeks, involved 253 separate attachments,
and 50 different forces acted as hosts. Many
of
the police officers
from overseas also visited police training centres and detective
training schools and the Police College. The above record is a
substantial increase in the number
of
attachments, compared with
the previous year. Special arrangements were made for 48
officers who attended short courses for non-gazetted Overseas
Police officers."
Many of these officers also visited the training schools of the
Metropolitan Police at Hendon and Peel House. Visitors' books
and records kept at such establishments as Harperly Hall (Durham
Constabulary training school), Stanley Grange (Lancashire Constab-
ulary) and Mather Avenue (Liverpool City police) to mention only
three, show a long and distinguished record
of
visitors from overseas.
Although details remain to be developed, the prospect of increasing
visits from United Kingdom police forces to police forces overseas
seems at last to be in sight, at least for those fortunate enough to
win a place on the Johnson course for bright young constables,
shortly to be inaugurated at Bramshill.
