HC Deb 14 October 1912 vol 42 cc782-3
58. Mr. BOOTH

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the police administration of New York; what relations, if any, exist between the authorities of London and those of New York; whether there has been any exchange or transfer of officers from one staff to the other; and what communications take place between the officers of the two forces?

Mr. McKENNA

I have no knowledge on this subject beyond what has appeared in the newspapers. There has been no exchange or transfer of officers between the police authorities of London and New York. The only communications that take place have reference to the movements of criminals, and kindred inquiries such as take place between all police forces.
