Law Enforcement Training 



Arrangements were made for the law enforcement training officer to attend 

 the School of Instructional Techniques, operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force 

 at Clinton, Ontario and the Ontario Police College at Aylmer. The background 

 thus obtained is being used to develop specialized law enforcement courses for 

 the conservation officer staff. 



Hunter Safety Training Program 



The aim of the safe gun handling program is to reduce the number of acci- 

 dents caused by firearms in the field of hunting. A secondary purpose is the 

 introduction of the students to an understanding of better game management 

 practices. 



It has been compulsory since September of 1960 for all new hunters to 

 complete a course in hunter safety training in order to purchase their first hunting 

 license. The majority of students obtain their training through conservation clubs 

 across the Province. The Department has 3,050 certified instructors giving freely 

 of their time and equipment to this worthwhile youth training program. During the 

 calendar year 1963, some 20,400 completed the course, making a total of 66,382 

 new hunters in the field who have obtained the fundamentals of safe gun handling. 

 The following table shows the progress of the program from year to year since 

 1957:
