IT is notified for the information of the Police Forces generally that the existing arrange- ments provide that all persons convicted of offences falling under classes II to V, appendix A of the Judicial Statistics, 1899, pages 220 to 221, and sentenced at Quarter Sessions or Assizes to imprisonment for a month or longer, are criminally registered by having their finger- prints and photo- graphs taken in the prisons a fortnight before release. The Police of the Metropolis have been in- structed that whenever they deem it desirable to have criminally registered persons convicted of offences, and sentenced to imprisonment in Magistrates' Courts, the words " finger- prints " or " finger- prints and photograph " are to be added to the form on which the conviction is reported to the Chief Office, who then place themselves in correspondence with the prison authorities. It is suggested that Chief Constables and Heads of County and Borough Police Forces might similarly apply specially in suitable cases for the finger- prints and photographs of persons convicted in Magistrates' Courts whom they believe to be professional or dangerous criminals.
