20.
During the 3-year period ended 30th November, 1959, the number in each year was: 1957, 75; 1958, 74; 1959, 46.
Among the inducements offered to trained men to remain in the Force are a progressive incremental scale including long-service increments; security of tenure; prospects of promotion; and a superannuation scheme which enables them to retire on pension, should they so desire, at a relatively young age.
