It is desirable to have closer 'to-operation between the county 00- lice and Provincial Police. It is often Very important to search out fugitives Who are escaping and take quick tte- 'tion when serious crimes are commit- ted. In order to get closer co-opera- lion with the counties, it is proposed to have the High Constables under the mpervision of the Provincial Police Force. This will mean that the Provin- rial Police Force will be responsible for the discipline of the county police and tradually such steps can be taken to list Jeter, co-operation. cupervisory authority over all High Con- stables was brought down to the Legis- lature yesterday by Attorney-General William H. Price. This new legislation comes in the Iorm ot an amendment to the pres- ent Constables Act, has been widely heralded. and is designed with a View to establishing closer contact and co- Operation between the municipal and Provincial truthtrritie:i, It authorizes the trppcinlmrn: by th:, Provinc: ct High Constables in countie~ where there are no such officers at present and shoulders the Province witn the C080; of maintaining such pests. Mu- nicipalities now paying High Constables have the option unuer the proposed amendment of carrying on as they are or coming in under the Provincial su- pervisory arrangement and letting the Government do the paying. Price's Memorandum. "As the law stands at the preterit time there is a provision in the Con- stables Act for the appointment of a High Constable for each county. Sam: counties have taken advantage of this and others have not. The duty of the High Constable is to take supervision over all county constables apnointed by the General Sessions of the Peace, or the Magistrates. "As the law stands today. the Inspec- tor of Legal Offices has power to in- _ vesugate charges against the .count.y police. to make recommendations and _ enforce discipline. The present act 3 turns this power over to the Commis- ' eloner ot Police for the Province,. Al- though the Inspector of Legal Offices 1 had this power for some time it has 5 been rather a dead letter, because he 1 Was not in a position to enforce dis- 1 eipline. This act will ensure a general ( improvement in discipline throughout i" the whole Province.
