TO BE CI CUL.TED TO ALL R";[ .R9, It wi11 be some time before I can meet aach one of you, so this note puts dawn what I would like to say to you petsonally. The first thing is that I feel very honouredat receiving couxoandof the Cheshire Constabulary: I know its fine reputationa d traditions: I v 11 endeavourto uphold them. Then, think it is fair to give you my ideas o� Police work. I believe that a rolice career offers the greatestopportunity o� a11 careers for Christian and humanitarian service to the coconunity. I believe that a real Policeman gets a bigger kick out of the koowledge that he gives this service than he does out of any praise or of aay reward; therefore, I believe that a real tnolicemancan be trusted to carry out this servicewith very 1ittle supervision. I believe that the Chr stia idea that you do get looked after if you do good service is true; tharefore, I am conf�dentthat our pay aad conditions of service -willalways be reasoneble if we carry out our service to the coffinunitv. ' Finally,my plans for the future. We must build housesp we want more mon on urbattbeats; we want mauy more cars �or general getting about. TFemust plan to give individualmembers of tho Force greater responsibilityand opportunityto carry out the police idea oL Christiattservice to tho co n ity, Unti1 we can carry out these p1ana you are going to be rather overworkedaaidrather badly housed. I 'row that this boar heavily on your wives. Chief Constableof Cheshire. � N0. 25. 28thOctober,1946� - TO BE CIRCULATEDTO IL RAN%S.
