Utah state, city and county police chiefs, meeting Thursday in Salt Lake City, before the Utah Legislative Council's criminal justice investigating committee agreed on acute need for better training and pay and consolidation of overlapping facilities but had some concern lest "consolida tion" might leave the metropolitan areas with even fewer officers " than they have now. Provo Police Chief Jesse Evans bluntly told, the committee 'that lack of funds made long range plans for improvement impossible; that inadequate " pay gave him such small civil service, lists he had no choice in selection: that turnover in Provo police department in four years was 50 per cent, and that it was impossible to train a man to be a first-rat- e four years.
