Law enforcement officers from several Southern Oregon cities will attend a five day school on basic police subjects beginning tomorrow morning, according . to Klamath Falls Police Chief Orvllle Hamil ton, host for the school. The sessions are to be held In the council chambers at the city hall, Hamilton said. The basic classes are being sponsored by the Oregon Associa tion of City Police Officers and the Oregon State Sheriffs Association. The locai classes are part of a series of courses being given throughout Oregon, with the first class ending last Friday at Rose- burg. The Klamath Falls course will be attended by officers from Grants Pass, Lakeview and Bend, as well as officers from nearby points, Hamilton said. Classes to be given in the five day course include the Job of Law Enforcement; Law of Arrest. Search and Seizure; Mechanics of Arrest; Basic Use 01 Biaearms; Self Defense Tactics; Report Writ' ing and Notebook; Foot and Mo bile Patrol; General Police Duties: Traffic Laws, Enforcement and Public Relations; Primary Steps in Crime investigation, and Court room Procedure.

Mundlngcr of the Salem police. Chief Charles Cham plln of Medford and Julius Rice, special agent of the Federal Bu reau of Investigation. Officers who attain a satisfac tory score on the examination and attend four out of live of the class meetings will be given a certifi cate of completion for the school. Hamilton said. He said that other agencies co oper at ing in the courses are the League of Oregon Cities and the Bureau of Municipal Research and Service of the University of Oregon. Hamilton said that he was glad that the school Is being held here, but that because Klamath Falls Is so far from other centers of popu lation, there are special problems here that would not be encountered in other areas, where officers could commute to the classes. Here, he said, housing must be found for visiting officers, ' and many of the men. attending must travel long distances over roads which would be very difficult driv ing In case of a snow storm. In addition to the course Just completed at Roseburg, other courses are planned for Pendleton, Coos Bay, Eugene, Albany and Salem. ' ' KLAMATH COUNTT :'.:';.
