When necessary the unit arrangesfor the employment of extern experts, such as the State Patholo-gist, State Analyst, Handwriting, Textile Experts, etc.

Of the 327 persons prosecuted in 1952, 206 were charged withconduct calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, and 59 werecharged with offencesunder the Supplies and Services (TemporaryProvisions) Act, 1946, and Orders thereunder. Details ofprosecu-tions under the latter heading are given in Appendix C (3).

During the year 1952 officers spent 157 days in visiting thescenes of crime, including murder, arson and serious cases ofhousebreaking, together with 42 days spent at Courts, Con-ferences, etc.

Preliminary examination of handwriting exhibits, articlesof clothing for stains, eliminated many of these and saved con-siderable expense 'of examination by experts.

PART IV.The number of exhibits ,examined was 500, of which 299 were

eliminated.

SCIENTIFIC AIDS TO CRIME DETECTION.(2) FING'ERPRINTS AND (JRIl\flNAL RECORDS.

A Speical Section of Crime Branch Headquarters-known asthe Technical Bureau-provides valuable assistance by means ofscientific aids to Gardai throughout the country in the investi-gation of crime.

These provide a complete record of previous convictions ofeach criminal, a description, photograph and history of subjectwith modus operandi employed.

The Section is provided with up-to-date equipment. The total number of criminal records now filed is 7.3,178,representing an increase of 2,704 on the 1951 figures.

Fingerprints found at the scenes of crimes are classifiedand compared with those already recorded. The comparison maylead to the identity of the criminal, but when no identificationis made (as in the case of new entrants to crime), the printsfound are preserved for future reference. When a new criminalis arrested, it is thus often possible to connect him with out-standing crimes.

The staff is appointed from experienced members who havehad technical training, and lectures with practical demonstrationsin modern methods of criminal investigation are given to membersof Detective Branch, uniformed members in the more populouscentres and also to recruit Gardai in training.

At the request of the Army Authorities. lectures are givenalso to parties of Military Police Probationers.

Enquiries are daily received from and sent to other policeforces, and interchange of fingerprints and records is made inthe case of travelling criminals.

Regular issues of Fogra Tora m two parts are prepared mthis sub-section.

Part I deals with persons wanted for crime, missing persons,and descriptions of property stolen or recovered.

Part II contains photographs of convicted persons, withtheir descriptions, which are filed at Stations for reference.

Photographs are supplied in convenient pocket-book form todetectives and Stations in cities.

The following summary gives an idea of the work done in theDepartment during the year:-

(1) Total Number of criminal records filed(2) Number of new registrations(3) Sets of fingerprints received for search(4) Number of identifications made from (3)(5) Data sent to or received from other police forces(6) Sets of fingerprints sent to other bureaux for

search(7) Articles examined ...(8) Identification marks found ...(9) Number of culprits identified

(e) Photography of fingerprints and enlargement for Courtpurposes.

(j) Photostatic copies of maps and other documents.(g) Micro-photography of marks on bullets, tool marks on

iron and wood-work for comparison.

An interesting case during the year was one in which tatoomarks on the ear of a racing greyhound had been tampered with.Ultra-violet light photographs were taken while the animal wasunder an anaesthetic, and the original markings were identified.

In another case of greyhound racing fraud the alterationsmade in the identification cards of the dog were disclosed byultra-violet light photography.

Members visited scenes of 221 crimes or traffic accidents andattended Courts on 165 days. 5,813 photographs were preparedwith 914 photostatic copies.

Photographic work was also undertaken on behalf of theDepartments of Posts and Telegraphs, Education, ExternalAffairs, and Agriculture.

(4) MAPPING.

140 scenes of crime or traffic accidents were visited by staff,971 maps prepared, and 204 Courts attended during the year.

Maps and charts for official use by Garda units were alsoprepared.

(5) BALLISTICS.

The duties carried out by members of this sub-section includeexamination and comparison of guns, bullets, cartridge cases,glass fragments found at scenes of road accidents or on clothingof suspects, cutting instruments and marks on woodwork, etc., atscenes of crimes, restoring of erased numbers on motor vehicleengines and chassis and on pedal cycles.

36 firearms, 363 bullets and cartridge cases, 10 cycles, and234 miscellaneous items were examined.

An examination of 4 rifles discovered in 1952 disclosed oncomparison with spent bullets found in 1950 that the weaponswere used in three shooting outrages in 1950.

26 scenes of crime were visited, and evidence tendered at26 Courts.

(6) RADIO.

A central transmission and recerving station working onV.H.F. is established at Headquarters and operated by remotecontrol from Dublin Castle, where the maintenance staff isattached.

The range covers some 30 miles depending on contours ofcountry.

16 cars in Dublin, Rathfarnham and Howth are fitted withtwo-way radio telephone; 8 two-way sets and 14 receiving setsare also installed in Garda Stations in Dublin and adjoiningcounties.

Walkie-talkie radio sets are also issued to foot patrols forcontrol of crowds at public meetings, sports fixtures, etc.

Radio cars are continuously patrolling in Dublin and suburbs,and during variable hours in adjoining counties, and form a linkwith foot and cycle patrols. These cars are in constant touchwith Headquarters and with one another.

Particulars of crimes, road accidents, street disturbancesare broadcast and cars are directed to scenes to cut off escapeof fleeing criminals. These messages are also received at GardaStations on perimeter of city, and patrols from these Stationsare notified when necessary.

Radio communications are linked up to relay complaintsreceived from the public over the "999" telephone systemregarding crime, suspicious loiterers, etc., thus enabling speedyattention to be given by Garda to complaints. Several arrestson the spot have been made within a few minutes of receipt ofcomplaints, and also vehicles involved in hit and run accidentshave been intercepted.

A number of business houses in Dublin have installed auto-matic "burglar-alarms," which are connected to DetectiveBranch, Dublin Castle. Alarms received are at once broadcastto radio cars.

During the year some 3,600 calls over the" 999 " system werereceived, and 372 of these resulted in arrest of 473 offenders.

Included amongst those arrested were persons charged withhousebreaking 86, thefts from cars 23, other thefts 75, disorderlywhile drunk 135,drunk in charge of vehicles 26, malicious damage48, assaults 50, and I case of improper use of" 999 " call.

Patrol cars in Dublin were otherwise responsible for arrestsin housebreakings and larcenies 488, thefts of cars 19, streetdisorders, assaults, etc., 572, other offences 842

Some examples of successful use of radio patrol cars may beof interest :-

(a) Stolen car intercepted and driver arrested.

(b) Thief on roof of restaurant arrested at 12.50 a.m.,following " 999" call and broadcast.

(c) Thief arrested in act of driving away car which heattempted to steal at 11 p.m.

(g) Following message that two men were seen on roof ofhouse at 12.10 a.m., two men were arrested in anadjoining house. They were in possession of stolenjewellery, and were later charged with breaking andentering 5 different premises on same night.

(h) " 999" call received at 10.50 p.m. to effect that noisewas heard in a large drapery house, patrol car calledthere and 2 thieves were found concealed in premises.Smouldering papers were also discovered which mightwell have started a large fire.

(i) A blood-stained cash register was found at 2.30 a.m. onfootway by patrolling Garda who sent word to Station.Patrol car was dispatched by radio call and membersvisited accident room of hospital in vicinity, where theyfound a man being treated for cut hand.
