IN PRINCE RUPERT (Continued from Page OneJ Omlneca, Peace K'.ver and Fort George, and at Prince Rupert of the whole of the northern territory to Rivers Inlet. In the latter appointment he had jurisdiction ov- an area of 220,000 square, miles, "which he claims to have "walked round religiously every week." Mr. Parsons remained at Prince Rupert until 1924, when, -en -reorganization of the force on the divisional system, he was brought to Victoria and placed in charge of "A" Division, comprising Vancouver Island. In succeeding years, and as titles of appointments changed, he became assistant superintendent, assistant commissioner, deputy commissioner, and in 1939 on retirement of Col. Mc-Mullin, commissioner. As commissioner and before he attained that rank, Mr. Parsons was responsible for or closely identified with important administration changes in the force and expansions of its As far back as 1916, he submitted reorganization proposals to Attorney-General (now Senator J.

Fariris), proposals that were later carried) into effect by At tor ley-General (now Mr. Justice A M, 0 m Hi D DESIGNED' UNIFORM' ' "OF B.C.- POLICE Vnr mo ne joined the force there had been talk of a uniform for the force. Mr. Parsons was given the job of designing it, and in 1944 a uniform of definite style and material was approved. That was the year of the big reorganization worked out by Mr. Parsons. Administrative methods were systematized and brought up to date, and the di- j vision-district-detachment plan that is still standard throughout the force was put into effect. With full responsibility in all matters pertaining to their assigned territories, deputy -inspectors became inspectors. Archaic and misleading designations for subordinate ranks wte supplanted by the present sequence of non-commissioned grades. According to seniority, the constables themselves were divided into classes, and rates of pay were placed on a fixed basis. Out of this reorganization grew the present system of policing municipalities under contract. It was the first experiment of its kind In Canada and; because of its success, it is e'ven now being copied south of the border by Connecticut State Police.

When the King and Queen came to Canada in 1939, the British Columbia force was the only provincial police force entrusted with the safety of Their Majesties. Elsewhere that duty was carried out exclusively by Royal Canadian Mounted Tolice During the war many officers obtained leave to go on active service. Those who remained, carried on a vitally important Job all- up and down the Pacific Coast that was never publicized because nf "the secrecy that had to be observed.
