Report on an Ordinance entitled
An Ordinance to provide for the formation of a
Special Police Reserve.
515
The object of this Ordinance is to create a Special
Police Reserve Force, the members of which could be called
out as Special Constables in times of national emergency
or local disorder.
The necessity for a large body of Special Constables
in times of emergency has been demonstrated recently, and
the usefulness of such a body would be considerably increased
by preliminary training, while the enrolment of a large body
of Special Police at short notice would be much facilitated
by the existence of a Reserve consisting of men who had
declared their willingness to serve as Special Constables.
The Ordinance has been modelled on the Volunteer Reserve
Ordinance, 1910.
In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excell- enoy the Governor may properly assent in the name of His
Lajesty and on His behalf.
