There are a total of 361 Jews on the Palestine police force, according to a recent statistical survey. Against that figure, there are 1,239 Arabs and 306 native Christians.
The survey reveals a decided decrease in the crime which these officers have to cope with. The number of non-indictable offenses fell by more than 10,000 cases, while there were 66 fewer serious crimes compared with the preceding year.
