THX EDITOR, New Scotland Yard, London, S. W. SPECIAL NOTICE. In order that the Police Gazette may be made more useful to Police Forces generally certain changes will be made beginning with the first issue of 1914. The Gazette will be published twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, end ( he following supplements will be issued with it: — On Tuesdays, the list of deserters from the Army and Navy: on Fridays, ( A) An illustrated list of Expert and Travelling Criminals recently released from prison; this will be sent to subscribers only: ( B) An illustrated list of Licence holders and Supervisees; persons licensed from a Borstal Institution, and Suffragists whose apprehension is sought. The illustrations of the two last- named supplements will be printed on coated paper, and in the case of the A supplement on a separate sheet, which can be detached and filed in an album or bound together as may be most convenient. The portraits, which will bear no identifying mark except a number, will be convenient for showing to complainants who call at a Police Station to report a crime. The A Supplement will take the place of the quarterly Illustrated Circular which will cease to appear after 31st December, 1913. The annual subscription for one copy of this supplement and Index has been fixed at 4s. 4d. payable in advance. Remittances should be sent to The Editor, Police Gazette, New Scotland Yard. It is further proposed to make the Gazette a means of dealing with the criminal who travels from place to place, by opening its columns to reports of undetected crimes where full details of the method adopted by the criminal are available. Where several similar cases are reported from places in contiguous counties, the Editor will publish the facts in the Gazette as a warning to other Forces, and will also see whether the records at the Criminal Record Office suggest the probable offender. The number of records available for search is about a quarter of a million. It is hoped that in the common interest all Forces will co- operate with one another by reporting such cases to The Criminal Record Office. As it is very desirable that Forces who have been concerned in the prosecution and conviction of criminals, should be informed when such criminals are apprehended for a fresh offence, it is proposed to publish all such re- apprehensions in each issue of the Gazette as an intimation to all the Forces interested. The Criminal Record Office number will be given, and, in order to prevent confusion, it is suggested that every F* rce should make an index to such numbers as a means of rapid identification. All requests for the circulation in the Gazette of persons wanted for offences, for the photographs, etc., of criminals likely to have committed offences, and information respecting the death of a person known to have been convicted, should be addressed to The Assistant Commissioner, Criminal Record Office. When a Licence- holder or Supervisee fails to report, as early a notification as possible should be similarly addressed in order that the particulars may appear in the supplement B. The Editor will be glad to consider any suggestions from Chief Officers of Police Forces for making the Gazette more useful to its readers. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
