Jan 1942 GUARD PATROL TAKES COURSE AT HILLFIELD First Aid, Traffic and Disarming Tactics Are Included The first series of classes for the civilian guard patrol at Ogden air depot, Hill field, was reported completed today. The course, ex¬tending over a period of seven days, was attended by the existing guard patrol as well as all newcomers to the force. The schedule included a first aid course that entitled each member of the patrol to wear the official American Red Cross emblem, provided a 10-hour refresher course is taken within one year. Other subjects covered included: Fires (common hazards and incen¬diary bombs), traffic (regulations phases and corrective measures), patrol tactics (arrests, searches, riots, transferring of prisoners, and use of chemical agents), fin¬gerprinting, laws of arrest, and public relations. Public relations includes technique and methods of courtesy toward military per¬sonnel and civilian employes. The class participated in a practical demonstration under di¬rection of teacher, Assistant Chief Patrolman Jack Gridley. An acci¬dent was dramatized whereby two of the class members received treatment for broken legs. A trac¬tion splint was used on one brok¬en leg while a board splint for a broken thigh was applied to the other. A patrolman with a "broken arm" was administered first aid by the use of a splint consisting of a magazine and some torn rags. Different ways of disarming a person were practiced while the teacher with two helpers gave a demonstration of the "wall search." Several members improved their marksmanship by practicing sight¬ing exercises while the rest of the class looked on, noting tactics used and suggestions or comments to be brought forth during the round - table discussions that brought to a close each day's ses¬sion.
