TRANSCRIPT
NL Constabulary had a special wartime security division that had to with aliens. Every person that came into Newfoundland by ai,r by ship, the manifest had to be taken, and all the manifest was sent to the Constabulary Security Division, so they had to check each and every name off the Black List that came from Britain, from the British Security Service. There was a wartime Blacklist and wartime German Agent List and all those people no matter where they came in, just stopped off to refuel in Newfoundland, that had to be sent in to the security division so you can imagine there was a tremendous amount of work for the police related to the war and of course who would be their other stakeholders were the military and especially the naval intelligence in St John's and there was an extremely close working relationship between the Constabulary Security Division and the Naval Intelligence here in St. John'. They worked very closely with each other during the war.
