The Argus at KellyGang 3/5/1882
At a meeting of the Police Commission held yesterday Mr Longmore, MLA, occupying the chair, the examination of Mr Chomley, chief commissioner, was concluded. The commission will sit again to day at 11 o'clock , when Mr Morris, chief clerk in the department, will be examined.
We learn that a circular letter has been issued by the Chief Commissioner of Police stating that the commission desire to examine five sergeants and five constables of the metropolitan and suburban force, and five sergeants from the country districts. The process by which the sergeants and men are to be selected is by ballot. Each member of the force is required to forward to the superintendent of police not later than the 9th inst, the name of the sergeant and constable he desires to be examined. The same form will be adopted for the election of the five sergeants from the country districts taking as centres Sandhurst , Ballarat, Wimmera, Echuca and Warrnambool. The sergeants and men receiving the largest number of votes will be elected, and will be called before the commission to give evidence upon matters relative to the organisation of the police and to make such suggestions as they may deem necessary for removing existing grievances.
