What is The Drug Squad about?
I am a Police Officer, a "Copper", and have been invited here today to tell you briefly how the Metropolitan Police fit into the general system of the Dangerous Drugs control and how they go about their tasks trying to enforce the Regulations. I am not a medical man and I have no scientific qualifications. I am not in a position to speak of the treatment of drug addicts, why this or that drug is prescribed, or the therapeutic qualities of any particular drug. I will try not to bore you with figures, as I am sure you will agree that these can sometimes be misleading, and if necessary made to fit any situation. However, I do meet addicts, either when arrested, or interrogated, and any view that Imight express, is founded on facts that I have discovered from practical experience and not from any scientific data. ## Police Duties Looking at the title on the programme for today, you will see that I am introduced under the heading "The Drug Squad". This is somewhat of a misnomer. At New Scotland Yard there is a Drugs Office comprising of a staff of five Officers, of which I am one. Here we specialise in dangerous drug enquiries, but the general control and enforcement of the Regulations
