From when I commenced working at the Scientific Section in 1960 until the late 1970s, the section was responsible for preparing displays for the Police Exhibit at the Brisbane Exhibition to raise funds for Police Youth Clubs.

These displays highlighted the work of the Section by providing case histories and forensic comparisons undertaken by the Section. Who can remember seeing a stuffed Alsatian dog there which came from a famous murder investigation in the mid 50s?

Rare types of firearms were displayed and one year Ned Kelly's armour was featured.

Members of the section dreaded this chore as it took them away from their duties as they took a great deal of our time.

We had to set them up and dismantle them, at least we could spend time checking out other features of the show.

The displayed also featured at the Ipswich show for a couple of years.
