This Department is, ironically enough, said to outdo all

and have had little or no experience before coming to Kerman,
where their primary aim is to line their pockets in the shortest
possible time.

Colonel Yawar Suleiman Mutasham held the post of Chief of
Police till ^©Member 29th, when he left for Tehran on leave.
He was very popular with tha general public and was always
ready to co-operatie with this Consulate. Though this depart-
nent continued to be ill-equipped, it showed a noticeable
improvement in other respects under his supervision. There
was x general regret expressed at his departure.
After his departure, the former Chief of Police at Raf-
sinjan, Captain Hishmati, acted as Chief of Polite for the
remainder of the year. He appeared to be a worthy successor
to Colonel Mutasham, both in his work and in his dealings with
thia Consulate.
