C.O. -H- -As Christmas Day is a. holy day as well
as an universal puhlic holiday, and as, ll1oreOVf>r, t he
pressure of police duty on Christmas Eve is exeeptional1y
severe, Officers ill Chrt.rge of Districts a.re
directed to arrange for the release from duty during
that dav of all Members of the Force under their
comma~d, except the few whose services are indispensahle
to the maiutenance of order, etc. It is
desirable tha.t as many of the iJolice as pra,ctica,ble
should ha,e an opportunity of participating in the
general festivities. Arrangements must of course be
made to have a.n ample number of polil.;e on duty in
the evening and during tbe ni ght, when the demands
upon them are likely to be heavy.
Those members of the F orce who ~Lre required to
do duty on Christmas Day should. in their turn, be
released on New Year's Day.
