Bill No. 54 of 1948. A BILL TO AMEND THE ALBERTA POLICE ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The Alberta Police Act. Section 22 (4) of the Act required the clerk or secretary­ treasurer of a municipality to give the Commissioner of Police of the Alberta Provincial Police Force a statement of the names and addresses of all municipal constables appoint­ ed. Since the Royal Canadian Mounted Police took over the policing of the Province there has accordingly been no complete official record of all constables in the Province.

The purpose of the amendment is to require municipalities to report the appointments of constables to the Attorney General so that the Attorney General may maintain a com­ plete up-to-date record or all constables in the Province.
