Shortly after the first acts of ter- rorism it was decided to increase the Special Branch. Every super- intendent in the 23 London divi- sions was asked to put forward the names of young policemen who had a flair for detective work.
Many of the constables selected have been to public schools, and it was decided that this particular type of young officer would be likely to do good Special Branch work.
The "new recruits" were placed under the control of officers of long experience. Many of them were sent to the ports at which Irish travellers arrive.

The senior officers of the Special Branch, many of whom have done port duty in their early days. quea- tioned them as to what they had seen when the various ships arrived from Ireland.
Most of the detectives who are now engaged in the work of "sorting- out" the terrorists have been given experience not only in London but at various ports.
