Organization and standardization of police science technics.

Ralph F. Turner is an Assistant Professor of Police Administration at Michigan State College and previous to this appointment was Superintendent of the Kansas City (Missouri) Police Laboratory. As a qualified forensic scientist he can appreciate the problems confronting workers in this field of criminal investigation. At every opportunity he has urged that groups of technical investigators band together to establish basic methods and to standardize in as far as possible the procedures in the various branches of police science. To further this program Mr. Turner took an active part in the First American Medico-Legal Congress at St. Louis last winter and has continued subsequently as Secretary of its Steering Committee-a committee charged with the investigation and establishment of a permanent organization.EDITOR.
