“CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION BUREAU BEGINS OPERATIONS,” Ottawa Citizen. April 12, 1910. ---- New Branch of Dominion Police Force Will Employ Finger Print System Under Direction of Constable Foster of Ottawa. Identification Marks of Kingston Pen Inmates Now Being Taken and All Canadian Prisoners Will Be Visited. ---- Canada's criminal identification hur- eau, the establishment of which was forecasted exclusively in The Citizen a short time ago, is now in active operation, with Constable Edward Foster of the Dominion police, as it expert. Offices have not yet been secured for this new branch of the department of Justice, but these will not be necessary for some time, as the initial work in the various penitentiaries will consume several months.

Constable Poster and an assistant. Constable W Mackell, are at present working in the Kingston penitentiary They will photograph all the prisoners there and also take an impression of their finger prints. The work is being carried on in the prison yard and from news received from Kingston it is said that the convicts are not at all pleased with the new departmental order. From Kingston. Constable Foster and his assistant will proceed to St Vincent de Paul penitentiary, thence to the Dorchester. Stony Mountain. Edmonton. and New Westminster penitentiaries. 

For a long time the officials of the department of Justice have felt the need of having better system of Identification of criminals and the matter has been under consideration for a couple of years. The photographic system has been in vogue as also been the Bertillon measurement system, but these were held not to be sufficient.  

Having a man at their disposal who held a certificate from Scotland Yard for the finger print system, in the person of Constable Foster, it was decided to inaugurate this branch, and an appropriation was made in the supplementary estimates of the department of Justice at the present session of parliament. The work requires an expert knowledge of photography and the taking of the finger prints in very delicate operation, which has to be performed with great care. 

Constable Foster, who will be in immediate charge of Canada's "rogues gallery,’ is a native of Stittsville, Ont. and has been connected with the Dominion police for the past twenty years. He has long been known as a capable officer and recently came into prominence when he effected the capture of Thomas German one of the notorious Wright safe-blowers. Other important cases with which he has been identified are the Brantford shooting case, the Welland canal dynamiting case and the capture of Chartrand, the murderer who escaped from Kingston penitentiary. He was one of the Dominion policemen sent to British Columbia during the Hindoo troubles there. Constable Foster the only man in America  who holds a Scotland Yard certificate for expert knowledge of the "finger print” system. Constable Foster resides at 559 Lisgar street, this city.
