Research Center Also Helps Train Policemen
Providing special training for Kansas peace officers is one of the functions of the KU Governmental Research Center.
Every year six basic programs are presented to highway patrol officers, county sheriffs, municipal police, town constables and Kansas' other peace officers under the direction of James S. Kline, coordinator of police officer training at KU.
This year the police officer training center will offer a course in supervision of police personnel in cooperation with Northwestern University January 18-29.
THIS IS the first year the course will be offered at KU.
E. P. Moomau, KU police chief, who is a graduate of the course when it was offered at Northwestern, said it was one of the finest training institutes he has ever participated in.
This course is primarily designed for police chiefs and high ranking police officers.
Its primary emphasis will be on elements of command, effective communications, use of discipline, human relations, and selection of administrators.
THE KU police training center is also putting on a series of six two day police review sessions throughout the state during this month and December.
At each institute experienced law officers from the area and a core of FBI, KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigation), and KU personnel will be instructors.
The subjects in the classes will be investigation, public relations, court room, testimony, riot control, and written report procedure.
Forty or more police officers attend the sessions located in Lawrence, Chanute, Hutchinson, Concordia, Colby, and Garden City.
Another KU police program planned for 1965 is the Burglary and Larceny Seminar. Approximately 90 police officers will attend a seminar concerned with scientific police techniques.
A SAMPLE case is set up in one of the rooms of the Kansas Union by the KBI and the law officers are divided into teams to arrive at a solution to the crime.
US Holds Back Pledge To UN Special Funds
UNITED NATIONS — (UPI)—The United States withheld its annual pledge to U.N. assistance funds yesterday despite a plea from Secretary U Thant. The action was a warning to the Soviets to pay up their U.N. arrearages.
Ninety-two countries pledged a total of $71.7 million to special funds for development projects and the expanded program of technical assistance, but without the pledges of the United States and Britain, the funds fell nearly $80 million short of their $150 million goal.
The financial developments overshadowed a Security Council meeting on the Israeli-Syrtan border clashes.
THANT OPENED THE CONFERENCE with a statement stressing that "The U.N. work of peace-building; through activities that promote economic and social progress, is no less important and pressing than diplomatic, political, and constabulary activities aimed at peace-keeping."
But U.S. Ambassador Franklin H. Williams told the meeting:
"In view of circumstances with which members are familiar, my government is not in a position to make a pledge for 1965 at this time.
because of the problems encountered in the rioting at Garnett last summer, Professor William Cape, Associate Director of Governmental Research, said.
The Kansas peace officers received instruction in mob psychology, types of groups, laws concerning mobs, use of equipment, and police formations.
In September, teachers, social workers, police, and juvenile judges attended a seminar on juvenile delinquency.
This class was instructed by representatives of the Attorney General's office, the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department, the highway patrol, the KBI, and KU police training.
ACTUAL CASES were discussed in mixed panels and the recommendations of these groups were discussed before an assembly.
Reports on all the sessions are sent to the agencies who participate in the programs. The KU Department of Governmental Research collects the findings of the programs and prints the results.
Two lawyers are provided for the defense and the prosecution and a KU law professor acts as judge.
Two other seminars were presented earlier this year.
The investigation results which are judged the best are then presented in a mock trial with the cooperation of the KU Law School.
Last July a special institute in riot control was offered to KU police officers.
