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.
Instructors include Lt. Thomas
W. Simmons of the Portland police,
Lt. Lewis G. Johnson and Sgt.
Holly V. Holcomb of the Oregon
State Police, Capts. Glenn A. Bow
man and E. R. 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.
