New posts of 3 Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police (offset by the reduction of 3 Assistant Commissioners), 1 Assistant Commissioner (for Operations and Training Branch), 1 Administrative Officer (offset by 1 Assistant Commissioner and 1 supernumerary Administrative Officer) and 6 Chief Superintendents (offset by 5 Senior Superintendents) are provided following a review of the staff structure in relation to certain senior posts.

1 Senior Superintendent, 1 Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent, 1 Inspector, 2 Corporals and 1 Woman Police Constable are provided for the Narcotics Bureau.

1 additional Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent replaces 1 Administrative Officer in Special Branch and 1 Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent replaces 1 Chief Inspector.

1 Chief Inspector replaces the Force Catering Officer. 5 Senior Inspectors, 8 Inspectors, 2 Staff Sergeants Class II, 16 Corporals and 38 Constables are provided for Traffic Branch and C.I.D. 11 Women Corporals are provided for duties as Telephone Operators. Supernumerary staff are, in the main, in con- nexion with Anti Illegal Immigration Operations.

The additional civilian posts are required for various branches to cope with increased activities and are in some instances offset by the reduction of posts in other grades.

Other Charges Annually Recurrent show an overall increase of $312,600. Increased provisions are included under a number of votes, principally, Rent, to cover additional rented accommodation; and Fuel, light and power, in view of the opening of new buildings; but these are partly offset by decreases under Arms and ammunition and Uniforms and accoutrements for disciplined staff, allowance having been made in the 1963-64 Estimates for certain commitments which is not required in 1964-65.

Items under Special Expenditure, apart from revotes, include provision for the continuation of the revolver replacement programme and arms for new Divisions; for new vehicles, as replacements and for expansion of existing activities; and for revisions of the land and marine communications systems.

Difference

The difference between the approved and revised estimates for 1963-64 for Other Charges Annually Recurrent is mainly attributable to expected savings under Pay and allowances.
