Burglar Alarms,
The number of automatic burglar alarms installed during the jear continued to increase as did the number of arrests resulting from the installations,
THE GARDA DOG SERVICE.
i-he Garda Dog Unit, established in I960, consists of six trained Alsation dogs under txie contro 1 of a Sergeant and five Gardai. It is based in the Dublin Metropolitan Area and during 1968 played a useful role in the prevention and detection of crime. Dog teams are available on a 24 hour basis for duty in any part of the country.
Numerous calls were made for the services of the Unit in searcning premises, tracing miscing persons, tracing the routes of fleeing criminals, searching areas for offenders and stolen property and like activities.
During the year, the Unit- assisted in the arrest of 120 prisoners (and was actually responsible for arrests in six cases). One hundred (100) summonses were issued arising out of d.tactions made by members of the Unit while on duty with tiieir dogs.
In the supervision of .Hooliganism and vandalism, dog patrols supplemented normal patrols in limiting this type of behaviour. The two-way radio equipped van was especially effective in getting dog teams expeditiously to scenes. '
There was an increased demand for the Dogs at exhibitions, 1 shows and Petes during the year but it was possible to accede only to 12 such requests. During such events the dogs appeared to be the main'attraction and their display was very well received. Numerous complimentary letters were received after displays and several enquiries were also received during the year seeking information regarding the training etc., of the dogs, 4 further indication of the interest the general public is taking in the Garda Dog Unit.
SUB-AQUA UNIT
The Garda Sub-Aqua Unit was established on an official basis in September, 1966.
Under the general control and supervision of the Inspector of Transport, Dublin Metropolitan Area, and the direct control of the Sergeant member, the Unit is comprised of 1 Sergeant and 11 Gardai, all of whom have been trained for under water operations and supplied with up to date equipment.
The purpose of the Unit is to carry out underwater searches for:
(a) Weapons used in the commission of crime or other evidence of crime deposited under water.
(b) Bodies of victims of crime or drowning accidents.
The Unit will operate, subject to conditions being suitable, in any inland or coastal waters of the State.
During the year I.968, 12 searches resulted in-t he--recovery of:-
3 •
5 bodies of persons accidentally drowned.
1 motor car believed to have been used in the commission of crime.
Several articles of stolen property.
COMMUNICATIONS
Information Room, Dublin Castle.
During the year, 70,681 emergency1999'calls were received in the Information "ooa at Dublin Castle, iron; private persons. The use of the system resulted in 1,077 persons being arrested. In 1966 the number of '599' emergency telephone calls was 66,000 in the Dublin Metropolitan Area.
£??§0KAL_TW0-WAY RADIO SETS
Extension of the personal two-way radio set Scheme to the entire Dublin Metropolitan area was continued during the year and, with the exception of the Ajn Laoire area, this has now been completed. It is expected that the latter area will be equipped shortly.
Extension of tne personal radio scheme to other cities and populous centres Is planned for the coming year ana the pxac^ss of equipping Cork, Limerick, waterford, Galway, Drogheda and Dundalk is under way.
By the end of the year 102 personal radio sets were in use in the Dublin metropolitan Area, 20 in Cork, 9 is Limerick and 6 in Jgach o f t h e following centres:- Waterford. Galway, Drogheda and undalk. It is anticipated that by the end of the coming year the
whole of the Force will be equipped, initially on a modest scale, as supplies become available.
Tne inception of the Scheme has proved a most useful aid to the Garda who 13 no longer without immediate assistance on patrol or beat duty since he has, in fact, tne full resources in manpower and mobile patrols at his call. Ue is in constant touch with the Control .base Station personnel who are able to direct Gardai and mobile patrols to any incident \vithcut delay on receipt of a report from him. In addition to the support which the radio sets provide for tne foot patrol Gardai. station control can direct the nearest patrolman to any incident without delay, immediately on receipt of a call from Information and Coiruaunications Centre, Dublin Castle, or from a member of the public.
The foregoing is an indication of cine value and importance of this method of communication and the saving in time, vehicles and personnel in reaching scenes of crime or of any other incident.
Personal radios are a new concent in policing in this country and when generally available should effect an overall improvement in the standard of policing,

Generally it is tne policy to caution rather than prosecute a juvenile who is known to be a first offender and who comes within the foregoing conditions. Account is taken of the full circumstances of each individual case, e.g., degree of temptation and any aggravating or ameliorating factors.
-ni_es dealt with under the Scheme are divided broadly into two classes:-
(l) Children or young persons who have contravened, the criminal 1 a w,
(2) Potential delinquents.
The first class come under the Juvenile Liaison Officer through normal Police channels. The second class, potential delinquents, consists of Juveniles not known to have committed any offence and »vLose bejiaviour if not corrected in time could lead them into crime.
J-ne uecision whether to prosecute a juvenile or administer a caution and refer the offender to the Juvenile Liaison Officer, is mdde in the Dublin metropolitan Area by the Chief Superintendent in charge of crime, and. in. the rest- of the State by the local Garda Superintendent. The Scheme does not conflict with the Probation Service or other organisations, but does provide for co-operation with such services.
The Juvenile Liaison Officer Scheme is operated in the Dublin Metropolitan Area with a total strength of 1 Sergeant, 9 Gardai and 2 Ban Gardai under the immediate charge of the Chief Crime Prevention Officer and under the general supervision of the Chief ^uperintendent in charge of crime and elsewhere by 2 Sergeants, 10 ^ardai and 2 Ban Gardai under the supervision of their District Officers. All members of this staff are specially selected and received special training in the working of the Scheme and courses on the problem of Juvenile delinquency. They wear plain clothes m the performance of their duty.
