In Chicago, electricians earn $1.85 more than the officer on the beat. Seattle pays cable splicers $375 a month more than patrolmen. As Mayor, you are of course acutely aware of the deplorable financial status of most of the nation's policemen. You know, too, that low pay is just one of a number of problems -- public apathy and unrealistically restrictive court decisions are others -- facing the cop on the beat. The lowered morale that results has contributed to police shortages and soaring crime rates. Now millions of Americans will share your concern and your knowledge, with publication of a January Reader's Digest article calling for hi gher salaries and increased public support for policemen. We are enclosing an advance copy of "Our Alarming Police Shortage"; we'd be happy to send you additional copies on request. Sincerely yours, • Vice President CRD : jm Enc.

Jen kins Atlanta, Georgia During the past summer 52 American cities suffered civil disorders, street fighting and riots that caused wide spread death and injuries to the population and the police of these cities. Looting and burning was responsible for property damages that caused many millions of dollars. The local police in most of these cities kept the situation under reasonable control and he ld property damages to a minimum , but there were many arrests and some deaths or injuries, and damages in a ll of these cities. The local police in s ome of these cities failed to maintain law and order , and when t h,: situation had gotten out of control, it was necessacy to call on the State Police and the National Guard to restore or der, a nd in one city it was necessary to ca ll on the U. S. Army to come in and restore or der. �- 2 - There were other cities, where the local government did not believe they had the necessary manpower and equipment in such an uprising to maintain law and order, and called for assistance from the National Guard before the situation had gotten out of control. On July 27, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson by executive order, appointed a National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. The Commission consists of eleven members - a governor, a mayor, four members of Congress, a business man, a labor leader, a civil rights leader, a lady and a chief of police. Governor Otto Kerner was appointed Chairman. Mayor John B. Lindsey was appointed Vice Chairman. Mr. David Ginsburg was appointed Executive Director. This State of Kentucky is well represented on the Commission by the distinguished Secretary of Commerce, the very able and attractive Miss Katherine G. Peden. I am deeply grateful and very humble for the opportunity to serve on such a distinguished commission. The Commission held its first meeting with President Johnson at the White House 'on July 29, 1967. �- 3 - After administering the oath of office, President Johns o:r~ inJormed the Commission of the seriousness of the civil disorders that the cities of this nation had experienced in the last two years. This was supported by all the information and reports that the President had received. The President said thi s commission was to take top priority over all other commissions and that all the facilities and personnel of the Federal Government would be made available to assist . . The President also said that civil disorders can be stopped -they must be stopped - and they will be stopped. The President instructed the commission to determine -what happened -why it happened -and what must be done to prevent it from happening again and again - and to furni s h him an interim report by March 1st, 1968 and a final report by August 1, 1968. I left t he White House with a very strong feeling that thi s nation is ' ext remely fo r tunate in having Lyndon B. Johnson a s Commander in Chief during the se ve r y t r ying time s. �- 4 - He is a very dedicated and able man, and tough enough to do the job. Again this belief was confirmed when President Johnson made a very fine and timely speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Polic e in Kansas City on Sept ember 14th. The Commission has been meeting about two days each week in Washington and has visited several of the cities that suffered th e greatest damages. Mr. Ginsburg has established a very fine organization to do the staff work. Most of the staff p ersonnel was drafted from other agencies. The full commi s sion has questioned more than 100 witnesses, that included governors, mayors, chiefs of police, r ioters, and everyone elese concerned with civil disor ders. The C ommission will not wait for the March deadline, but will present an interim report to the President just as soon as we can get it ready. What I say to you today are my personal beliefs and does not necessarily reflect the views of any of the people that I work for or work with. When some civil right leaders abandoned their non-violent approach and became "Black Power" advocates of force and violence, �- 5 - most of the white population was shocked and frightened, but this was the motive behind the Black Power movement, to achieve their goals through fear, intimidation, and force. It was designed for shock treatment. Most of the Negro population did not approve or disapprove this approach at that time, but took a "wait and see" attitude. But, today I believe a great majority of the white and Negro population recognizes "black power" as a reality , but believes its strength lies at the ballot box and in the courts, and not in the streets and alleys. The motives supporting the black power militant movement is almost identical to the motives supporti:1g the old Ku Klux Klan. I believe the police have the best public support today that we have ever had. But let me warn you not to be deceived by this support. The people have been frightened by civil disorders and r i ots and they are looking to the police to stop it now. And, if it demands - a tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye -the local police must be prepared to make law and or der thel:r first order of business. �- 6 - Dr. Kennet. C :.ark, author of "Dark Ghetto - - Dilemma of Social Power" reoently said, "police brutality was not a problem, or at least it was not a seriqus problem, the real problem," he said, "was police \n~fficiency and police corruption." I do not know how much of that statement is true. It would depend on the city and ttie persons involved. But, I do know that these are the problems that every chief of police tn this natiott ntu~t give his immediate attention and best efforts if we are going to accept all of our responsibility and furnish the kihd of police service that every American citizen has ever right to eXl'ect. The Mayor and the Chief of Police h,as the sole respon~ibility to protect life and p;roperty, to maintain law and order in their respective cities. Every city must hav~ the necessary cpmmunication and reports from all segments of the population to determine what the problems are, an(i when and where civ~l disorders are likely to occur. They must have thf;! necessary equJprnent and trained personnel to solve thes~ problems and if street fighting starts - - to move in immediately with sufficient force to stop it before it gets out of control. �- 7 - If t hey cannot do that, the mayor has t he responsibility to ask the governor to furnish the National Guard, and if this is not sufficient, the Governor has the responsibility to ask the President of the United States to order the U. S. Army to come in and restore orde;r, or even to prevent civil disorders. Now, as I understand the laws and ordinances of the many citie s and states in this nation, the Mayor and the Chief of Police are the commanding officers of their re spective police dep artments, but once the Natio:qal Guard is or dered in, the Gover nor and the Adjutant General becomes the commanding officer of that city or state, and once the U. S. Army is ordered in, the highest ranktng officer designated by the President, becomes the commandfng officer of all armed personnel in that a r ea. The P resident of the United States is the Commander- in Chief of all ar med per so11n.el in this nation, and that include s ever y poli ce officer in a poli~e department. As I also under stand the law in the var ious states, the governor might order t he National Guar d to go into a city at the request of the mayor - or the gover nor might or der the guards to go in on hi s own iniative and judgment. The same thing is true of the U. S. Army . �- 8 - The President might order the army to go into a city or state at the request of the governor, or the President might order the army to restore law and order and to protect the C onstitutional Rights of American citizens in any state, with or without a request from the governor. The United States President has found it necessary to take such action many times in the last 17 5 years. I recall two such occasions very well - - l. President Eisenhower ordered Federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, without a request from Governor Faubus. (EXPLAIN) 2. President Johnson ordered Federal troops into Detroit, Michigan, last summer on the request of Governor Romney. The U. S. Attorney General , Mr. Ramsey Clark, recently issued written instructions to all Governors on the procedure to follow "SHOULD A GOVERNOR FIND IT NECESSARY TO REQUEST THE ASSISTANCE OF FEDERAL TROOPS. " These are very important things that should be considered and included in all police training and police planning in the next few m onths. Retired United States Brigadier Gene ral William R . Woodward is also director of Atlanta's Civil Defense. �- 9 He and General George J. Hearn, the Adjutant General of Georgia have completed a very fine plan to coordinate the action of the police and the National Guard if it ever becomes necessary or desireable for the City of Atlanta to request the assistance of the National Guard. The National Guard is already receiving special training to control civil disorders. I understand that this training is very special. Th~ Guard is told that this is not ordinary combat. In ordinary combat everyone out in front of you is your deadly enemy, and you shoot everything that moves. In this kind of combat everyone out in front of you is not your enemy, in fact, most of them are your friends. Your only enemy is the snipers and the brick throwers, and when it is ncessary to use firearms, you must be very careful to shoot only your enemy. The Atlanta Police Department continues to st:t engthen and expand its training program, with special training for our Crime Prevention Bureau officers and our Task Force and Riot Squad. These are very important things that should be considered and included in all police t raining and police planning in the next few months. �- 10 - In any eme:rgen c.,v th.2 Atlanta Police Department will cancel all leaves and off days and go on 12 hour shifts, seven days per week. This act alone will more than double the police personnel available for street duty. Police officers would be working 84 hours per week instead of 40 hours per week. Every officer below the rank of Capta in would receive time and half for overtime pay. This means that the number of officers a s signed to the trouble area would equal the total number of police personnel in the department, leaving an equal number of officers to patrol the other parts of the city not involved in the civil disorder. (You will find most citizens very much interested in this part of the program.) A city ordinance authorizes the Mayor to define the boundaries and identify the area where civil disorders are occurring or expected, and to request the assistance of the National Guard when needed. The Mayor has full autho rity and r esponsibility to ma ke thi s determination. When the Guard arrive s on the s cene , p olice offi ce rs will be assigne d to accompany the Guard on their mission. �- 11 - The police will take into custody and detain all persons that shoµld be arli"ested. The police will process and present all prisoners and witnesses to the courts. The Guard will deliver all injured persons to the medical center. Additional action taken by the police 01· Guard will be subject to orders issued on the scene by the Adjutant General or his subordinate officer. Incidentally the subordinate officer ln this case happens to be a police lieutenant in the TraJnlng Division of the Atlanta Police Department. The hlgh crime r ate - The continued increase in crime - .. Civil disorders -And poverty, are so closely r elate~ in my opinion, that they cannot be ·s eparated. I agaiJi wish to remind you that lt w;ts the conclusion of the Atlanta Com mission on Crime and Juvenile Delinquency , and the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Adm\nistration of Justice - that ~rime and poverty were twin~ tlult could not be separat~d, and one could not be improved without improving the other. �- 12 - l dq nQt belleve that I can over-emphasize the need for police training -. and police planning for the pol~ce of this nation, to succes~- fully meet the challenge that we will face in the next twelve mo~ths, �November 13, 1967 Mr .

Firs t , let me s a y t hat I am a t ax paye r . and pai d taxes f or twenty-one ye ars. Have owned my home Recen t l y , t wo t hings have occurred which have caused me mu ch di s tress and inconve n ience, and which I f eel de fin ite l y are pol i ce matters and which al so concerns the Parks ·Depar t ment . The pol i ce have taken no ac tion othe r than t o come ou t and look the si tuation over . I would like to know if a tax payer i s entitled t o pro t ec tion for I need help very badly . I am a widow and live alone . For many weeks now I have been the victim of vandalism. I have had some construction work , under contrac t, and redecoration done on my house . The painter did not return my key, even when asked to do so. I understand that the contractor did no t pay him f o r his work, and so he has evidently been trying t o destroy the work and me along with it . One afternoon I c ame home from my o ffice to find that some sort of substance had been sprayed on the bathroom walls and the tub was completely covered with it . I felt it and it seemed to be a substance very like shellac with oil and a white substance added. I was distressed and called the police department. An officer arrived, saw the condition of things and called the Crime Prevention Department. Officer B. R. Owens then came out. He told me to wash the substance out of the tub with soap and water, made a few notes regarding some items that were missing from the house, and departed. He did not even examine the storm door through which the vandals had to enter, even though they had a key to the door leading into the house. The storm door was locked and I told the officer that it appeared to have been tampered with as there were scratches on the lock. He said I might have done it, which I did not. It was a new lock. He then said he felt the matter was not one the police should handle, but that he would send me a report on his findings. That was around the 22 of September and to this date I have not had a report from Officer Owens, which I need for insurance purposes. However, I washed the tub out with soap and water , as advised, �,- - and took a bath. Irrnnediately my s kin burned like fire and became ver y red. After the redness disappeare d , I bec ame aware that my fa ce and entire body was covered with a coating of shellac or plastic-like substance, which has entirely c losed the p©res of the skin. This substance wont come off and my dermatologist has pres cribed many treatments to no avail so far. It is making me ill. My face feels as thought it was covered with a mud pack, which had dried, then could not be removed. The painter, whom I sus pe c t of cormnitting this atroc ity, is free, and no one has even bothered to i nvestigate him. I ' ve had no police protec tion at all and not even the courtesy of a report s o I could file my c laim with the insurance company fo r the missing items taken from my home. I have called the policenany times, request i ng this report and all I get is a promise or am told Officer Owens is off-duty. Will you please try to help me? I can't remove the substance from my bath tub , lavatory or kitchen sink either . I have even tried varnish remover. The substance has been sprayed on the drape s, upholstering , bed spreads, furniture, walls and woodwork . They also sprayed my new wall-to-wall carpeting and some carpet i ng exi sting on the floors. The pile is s t uck to gether . It seems that I have fallen into the hands of crooks . The contracto r did not complete his contract, rior pay some of his workmen, so t hey have f i led l i ens against my house. He brought the painters to the job and this work the contractor wa s supposed to have paid for as a part o f the contrac t . I t l ooks as though an owner ha s no r ight s, by law , a t a l l , no t even t he right of police pro t ecti on . I have retained an at to r ne y who has filed su it agains t the contractor f or default of contrac t . But that will take time and I nee d imme diate ass i stance. The second matte r concerns both t he Pol i ce Dep artment and t he Parks Department . I live across the street from Chastain Memor ial Park on Lake Forrest Drive , N.W. Before we pur chased our l o t , we were to l d by some members of Mr . Chastain ' s family t hat he had bequeathe d the acreage on whi ch the park is located t o; I believe , Fulton County , as the prope rty at that time was loca t ed outside the c ity limits, wi th the stipulation that a golf course be built on it and that the park be kept be autiful in order to be an asset to that section of the county. After this park was incorporated into the City of Atlanta , the connnissioners began letting the park run down. It has been very shabbily kept and the connnissioners have even tried to give a concession to a company to ins tall amus ement-type equ ipment in the park. The people in my sec tion have been forced constantly , over the yea rs, to fight this sort of thing. as all of us have quite a bit of money tied up in our property and the area is restricted. This undesirable use of the park would completely ruin a nice neighborhood, one that has always been quiet and beautiful, and it would at the same time greatly devaluate our property. 2 �Within the past five years or so the Parks Connnissioner has done several things cl andestine ly , so that we did not learn abou t it in time to prates t . The first thing was the erec tion of poorly cons truc ted shacks on the ball field at the co rner of Wieuca and Lake Forres t Drive to house the Little League's ball equipment . They had alre ady graded the land, installed s torm sewers for drainage and erec ted tal l bright lights so games could be played at night as well as during the day . They also installe d loud speakers, whi c h they turne d up so high that the s ound has just about shattered our ear drums. We cannot sit in our living rooms without c l osing the windows and drawing the blinds bec aus e of the noise and the blinding lights . We can't even hear our t e l evisions. This fie l d is us ed f or bo th baseball and fo o tbal l, whi ch means that this a c tivity goes on most of the year . We have just learned that the Parks Commi s sion i s getting ready to build a stadium on the park site just across from my home, s outh of the one on the corner of Wieuc a and Lake Forrest Drive . Grading has already been done and probably the drainage sys t em. Thi s work has also been done c landestinely . The portion of the park neare r the street ac r oss from me is already being used for baseball and football prac ti ce. This we do not object to. It is the ball park and the inconsideration of the people using the facilities whi ch is objec tionable. At the present time, the nice, considerate mammas and pappas of these practicing ball players come out in droves, park their cars on both sides of Lake Forrest Drive covering a two block ar~a. The street is a two lane street only, and there is posted on the park side of the street signs denoting "No Parking at Any Time" . In spite of this, these nice people ignore the parking rules, the rights of others and park anywhere they please. Consequently, the late afternoon, heavy traffic (and our street accomroodates heavy traffic) has only one lane left on which to travel. This creates a traffic jam every afternoon, which lasts for alroost two hours. Poor working people, like myself, after having worked all day, fought the heavy traffic through the city, arrive near home to find tha t they can't get through. So we sit and wait for the traffic to clea~ the one lane before we are able to drive into our own driveways. But, many times lately, even the privilege of driving into our driveways has been denied us, for junior's nice considerate parents are now parking across our driveways. This has happened time after time. I have called the police and so have my neighbors. They come out and politely request these people to move their cars. In the meantime, my car sits in the one lane, blocking traffic for blocks behind me until the officer can find the lawbreaker and get the car out of the way. He doesn't even give the person a ticket. Across the street in the "No Parking" zone sits a long row of cars, parked illegally. The officer does not even say a word to them, just ignores it. He gives me a line about trying to do something for the kids to cut down on delinquency. Right here, may I make a suggestion? Why doesn't someone do something about the delinquent parents? After all, junior's trouble boils down to 3 �the fact that mannna and pappa ei the r ·don't care or are too ignorant to do anything about controlling Junior. They have found an eas y solution just dump Juni or into the hands of a coach and t hen that leaves them free to go on t heir merry way unhampered. So, these delinquent parents, because of their inability t o shoulder their own responsibilities, are al lowed to inconveni ence and annoy law-abiding tax payers, even though -;: these same parents are members of a minority group whose boys are interested in baseball or football. Do we have no righ t s at all? The straw that broke the camels back occurred last Saturday morning, Oc t ober 21st 1967. Ar ound 8 :00 A. M. I had occasion to l eave my home on a very important errand . Whe n I was ready to leave, I f oun d my driveway blocked again . I c alled the po lice, waited 40 minutes but if they came, I did not see them. While I was looking for the police car , the car b lock ing my drive drove off. I gathered up my things t o leave again and found that another car had jus t driven up and parked in my driveway, partially blo cking it. Yes, I was f urious! I again called the po lice and told them that if they didn't get out there in a hurry, I would take mat ters into my own hands. They came, but the offi cer began giving me more talk about entertaining the children . I demanded that he give the person blocking my driveway a ticket and remove the cars from a cross the street in the "No Parking" zone also . He called his Lieutenant . I waited. By this time I was an hour late. The Lieutenant finally came and I asked him to do the same thing. He told the officer to find the owners of the cars a nd ask them to repark their cars and to ask the owner of the car blocking me to move the ca r. This took time. No ticket was given anyone e xcept one car whose owner di d not seem to be present . So wha t happened! The very considera te mammas and pappas were back Monday afternoon, a ll of them par ked along the " No Pa r kin g" zone and in front of drivewa ys again. The y know, o f course, that the y wi ll never get a t i cke t , but wil l jus t be as ked oh, so poli tely , t o 100ve thei r cars . I s this the way the Poli ce Depa r tment is supposed to f u lfil l their du tie s? Ar e we , the tax payi ng , l aw- abi ding citi zens s upposed t o be happy and e ndure this tre atment? I would l ike t o ask and have answe r ed t wo ques tions , Mr. Alle n. No . 1 : Who pays f o r a ll o f thi s deve l opment o f ba ll par ks , grand stands , lighting systems , gradi ng , drainage sys tems , loud speakers , etc. ? I t must take quite a slice of the tax payer ' s 100ney to do this . No. 2: How long does the City of At l anta expec t their burdened tax payers to stand for s uch treatment an d at the same time be pena l ize d by having their property , for which taxes are high , devaluated by such action on the part of the Parks Connnission, as well as having their privacy invaded and being inconvenienced all of the time? Mr. Mayor, I am not only asking, but I am demanding that my driveway be kept clear. If the police department cannot or will not do this, I am taking the right to clear it whenever I find it blocked. I know that blocking of an individual driveway is illegal and I defy aoyone to deny me the privilege of right-of-way into my own property. 4 �I apol6gize for the length of this letter , but it was ne ces sary in order to give you a c lear pi c ture of the situation.

Freeman, Esquire Attorney at Law First National Bank Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Riehard Dear Richard: Elliott Goldstein is at home 111 and has asked me to contaet you concerning the following matter in his absence. As Elliott discussed with you previously, we are quite concerned by the manner in which the liquor license in conneetion with the Racquet Club has been handled . It appears to us that this 1s truly an excellent illustration of being "guilty by association. 11 Therefore, e feel that our clients are entitled to have the facts presented, rather than to be denied their rights based on rumors. Therefore, we suggest tbat you select an investigator, acceptable to us, and we will pay the reasonable expenses of a thorough and complete investigation, so that the facts may be available to your committee and to the appropriate authorities. Al.so, Mr . Cerami would like to have the opportunity of discussing this matter with you personally, at your convenience . In the meantime, should you agree to this investigation, e would suggest that the bar facilities at the Racquet Club would be re-leased to Mr. Jack Rice and operated by him independent of the owners or the Racquet Club. · I have tried to reach you by telephone, but I understand that you are quite busy. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of writing you so that you may consider this proposal as soon as possible.

In Chicago, electricians earn $1.85 more than the officer on the beat. Seattle pays cable splicers $375 a month more than patrolmen. As Mayor, you are of course acutely aware of the deplorable financial status of most of the nation's policemen. You know, too, that low pay is just one of a number of problems -- public apathy and unrealistically restrictive court decisions are others -- facing the cop on the beat. The lowered morale that results has contributed to police shortages and soaring crime rates. Now millions of Americans will share your concern and your knowledge, with publication of a January Reader's Digest article calling for hi gher salaries and increased public support for policemen. We are enclosing an advance copy of "Our Alarming Police Shortage"; we'd be happy to send you additional copies on request. Sincerely yours, • Vice President CRD : jm Enc.

Jen kins Atlanta, Georgia During the past summer 52 American cities suffered civil disorders, street fighting and riots that caused wide spread death and injuries to the population and the police of these cities. Looting and burning was responsible for property damages that caused many millions of dollars. The local police in most of these cities kept the situation under reasonable control and he ld property damages to a minimum , but there were many arrests and some deaths or injuries, and damages in a ll of these cities. The local police in s ome of these cities failed to maintain law and order , and when t h,: situation had gotten out of control, it was necessacy to call on the State Police and the National Guard to restore or der, a nd in one city it was necessary to ca ll on the U. S. Army to come in and restore or der. �- 2 - There were other cities, where the local government did not believe they had the necessary manpower and equipment in such an uprising to maintain law and order, and called for assistance from the National Guard before the situation had gotten out of control. On July 27, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson by executive order, appointed a National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. The Commission consists of eleven members - a governor, a mayor, four members of Congress, a business man, a labor leader, a civil rights leader, a lady and a chief of police. Governor Otto Kerner was appointed Chairman. Mayor John B. Lindsey was appointed Vice Chairman. Mr. David Ginsburg was appointed Executive Director. This State of Kentucky is well represented on the Commission by the distinguished Secretary of Commerce, the very able and attractive Miss Katherine G. Peden. I am deeply grateful and very humble for the opportunity to serve on such a distinguished commission. The Commission held its first meeting with President Johnson at the White House 'on July 29, 1967. �- 3 - After administering the oath of office, President Johns o:r~ inJormed the Commission of the seriousness of the civil disorders that the cities of this nation had experienced in the last two years. This was supported by all the information and reports that the President had received. The President said thi s commission was to take top priority over all other commissions and that all the facilities and personnel of the Federal Government would be made available to assist . . The President also said that civil disorders can be stopped -they must be stopped - and they will be stopped. The President instructed the commission to determine -what happened -why it happened -and what must be done to prevent it from happening again and again - and to furni s h him an interim report by March 1st, 1968 and a final report by August 1, 1968. I left t he White House with a very strong feeling that thi s nation is ' ext remely fo r tunate in having Lyndon B. Johnson a s Commander in Chief during the se ve r y t r ying time s. �- 4 - He is a very dedicated and able man, and tough enough to do the job. Again this belief was confirmed when President Johnson made a very fine and timely speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Polic e in Kansas City on Sept ember 14th. The Commission has been meeting about two days each week in Washington and has visited several of the cities that suffered th e greatest damages. Mr. Ginsburg has established a very fine organization to do the staff work. Most of the staff p ersonnel was drafted from other agencies. The full commi s sion has questioned more than 100 witnesses, that included governors, mayors, chiefs of police, r ioters, and everyone elese concerned with civil disor ders. The C ommission will not wait for the March deadline, but will present an interim report to the President just as soon as we can get it ready. What I say to you today are my personal beliefs and does not necessarily reflect the views of any of the people that I work for or work with. When some civil right leaders abandoned their non-violent approach and became "Black Power" advocates of force and violence, �- 5 - most of the white population was shocked and frightened, but this was the motive behind the Black Power movement, to achieve their goals through fear, intimidation, and force. It was designed for shock treatment. Most of the Negro population did not approve or disapprove this approach at that time, but took a "wait and see" attitude. But, today I believe a great majority of the white and Negro population recognizes "black power" as a reality , but believes its strength lies at the ballot box and in the courts, and not in the streets and alleys. The motives supporting the black power militant movement is almost identical to the motives supporti:1g the old Ku Klux Klan. I believe the police have the best public support today that we have ever had. But let me warn you not to be deceived by this support. The people have been frightened by civil disorders and r i ots and they are looking to the police to stop it now. And, if it demands - a tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye -the local police must be prepared to make law and or der thel:r first order of business. �- 6 - Dr. Kennet. C :.ark, author of "Dark Ghetto - - Dilemma of Social Power" reoently said, "police brutality was not a problem, or at least it was not a seriqus problem, the real problem," he said, "was police \n~fficiency and police corruption." I do not know how much of that statement is true. It would depend on the city and ttie persons involved. But, I do know that these are the problems that every chief of police tn this natiott ntu~t give his immediate attention and best efforts if we are going to accept all of our responsibility and furnish the kihd of police service that every American citizen has ever right to eXl'ect. The Mayor and the Chief of Police h,as the sole respon~ibility to protect life and p;roperty, to maintain law and order in their respective cities. Every city must hav~ the necessary cpmmunication and reports from all segments of the population to determine what the problems are, an(i when and where civ~l disorders are likely to occur. They must have thf;! necessary equJprnent and trained personnel to solve thes~ problems and if street fighting starts - - to move in immediately with sufficient force to stop it before it gets out of control. �- 7 - If t hey cannot do that, the mayor has t he responsibility to ask the governor to furnish the National Guard, and if this is not sufficient, the Governor has the responsibility to ask the President of the United States to order the U. S. Army to come in and restore orde;r, or even to prevent civil disorders. Now, as I understand the laws and ordinances of the many citie s and states in this nation, the Mayor and the Chief of Police are the commanding officers of their re spective police dep artments, but once the Natio:qal Guard is or dered in, the Gover nor and the Adjutant General becomes the commanding officer of that city or state, and once the U. S. Army is ordered in, the highest ranktng officer designated by the President, becomes the commandfng officer of all armed personnel in that a r ea. The P resident of the United States is the Commander- in Chief of all ar med per so11n.el in this nation, and that include s ever y poli ce officer in a poli~e department. As I also under stand the law in the var ious states, the governor might order t he National Guar d to go into a city at the request of the mayor - or the gover nor might or der the guards to go in on hi s own iniative and judgment. The same thing is true of the U. S. Army . �- 8 - The President might order the army to go into a city or state at the request of the governor, or the President might order the army to restore law and order and to protect the C onstitutional Rights of American citizens in any state, with or without a request from the governor. The United States President has found it necessary to take such action many times in the last 17 5 years. I recall two such occasions very well - - l. President Eisenhower ordered Federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, without a request from Governor Faubus. (EXPLAIN) 2. President Johnson ordered Federal troops into Detroit, Michigan, last summer on the request of Governor Romney. The U. S. Attorney General , Mr. Ramsey Clark, recently issued written instructions to all Governors on the procedure to follow "SHOULD A GOVERNOR FIND IT NECESSARY TO REQUEST THE ASSISTANCE OF FEDERAL TROOPS. " These are very important things that should be considered and included in all police training and police planning in the next few m onths. Retired United States Brigadier Gene ral William R . Woodward is also director of Atlanta's Civil Defense. �- 9 He and General George J. Hearn, the Adjutant General of Georgia have completed a very fine plan to coordinate the action of the police and the National Guard if it ever becomes necessary or desireable for the City of Atlanta to request the assistance of the National Guard. The National Guard is already receiving special training to control civil disorders. I understand that this training is very special. Th~ Guard is told that this is not ordinary combat. In ordinary combat everyone out in front of you is your deadly enemy, and you shoot everything that moves. In this kind of combat everyone out in front of you is not your enemy, in fact, most of them are your friends. Your only enemy is the snipers and the brick throwers, and when it is ncessary to use firearms, you must be very careful to shoot only your enemy. The Atlanta Police Department continues to st:t engthen and expand its training program, with special training for our Crime Prevention Bureau officers and our Task Force and Riot Squad. These are very important things that should be considered and included in all police t raining and police planning in the next few months. �- 10 - In any eme:rgen c.,v th.2 Atlanta Police Department will cancel all leaves and off days and go on 12 hour shifts, seven days per week. This act alone will more than double the police personnel available for street duty. Police officers would be working 84 hours per week instead of 40 hours per week. Every officer below the rank of Capta in would receive time and half for overtime pay. This means that the number of officers a s signed to the trouble area would equal the total number of police personnel in the department, leaving an equal number of officers to patrol the other parts of the city not involved in the civil disorder. (You will find most citizens very much interested in this part of the program.) A city ordinance authorizes the Mayor to define the boundaries and identify the area where civil disorders are occurring or expected, and to request the assistance of the National Guard when needed. The Mayor has full autho rity and r esponsibility to ma ke thi s determination. When the Guard arrive s on the s cene , p olice offi ce rs will be assigne d to accompany the Guard on their mission. �- 11 - The police will take into custody and detain all persons that shoµld be arli"ested. The police will process and present all prisoners and witnesses to the courts. The Guard will deliver all injured persons to the medical center. Additional action taken by the police 01· Guard will be subject to orders issued on the scene by the Adjutant General or his subordinate officer. Incidentally the subordinate officer ln this case happens to be a police lieutenant in the TraJnlng Division of the Atlanta Police Department. The hlgh crime r ate - The continued increase in crime - .. Civil disorders -And poverty, are so closely r elate~ in my opinion, that they cannot be ·s eparated.

Firs t , let me s a y t hat I am a t ax paye r . and pai d taxes f or twenty-one ye ars. Have owned my home Recen t l y , t wo t hings have occurred which have caused me mu ch di s tress and inconve n ience, and which I f eel de fin ite l y are pol i ce matters and which al so concerns the Parks ·Depar t ment . The pol i ce have taken no ac tion othe r than t o come ou t and look the si tuation over . I would like to know if a tax payer i s entitled t o pro t ec tion for I need help very badly . I am a widow and live alone . For many weeks now I have been the victim of vandalism. I have had some construction work , under contrac t, and redecoration done on my house . The painter did not return my key, even when asked to do so. I understand that the contractor did no t pay him f o r his work, and so he has evidently been trying t o destroy the work and me along with it . One afternoon I c ame home from my o ffice to find that some sort of substance had been sprayed on the bathroom walls and the tub was completely covered with it . I felt it and it seemed to be a substance very like shellac with oil and a white substance added. I was distressed and called the police department. An officer arrived, saw the condition of things and called the Crime Prevention Department. Officer B. R. Owens then came out. He told me to wash the substance out of the tub with soap and water, made a few notes regarding some items that were missing from the house, and departed. He did not even examine the storm door through which the vandals had to enter, even though they had a key to the door leading into the house. The storm door was locked and I told the officer that it appeared to have been tampered with as there were scratches on the lock. He said I might have done it, which I did not. It was a new lock. He then said he felt the matter was not one the police should handle, but that he would send me a report on his findings. That was around the 22 of September and to this date I have not had a report from Officer Owens, which I need for insurance purposes. However, I washed the tub out with soap and water , as advised, �,- - and took a bath. Irrnnediately my s kin burned like fire and became ver y red. After the redness disappeare d , I bec ame aware that my fa ce and entire body was covered with a coating of shellac or plastic-like substance, which has entirely c losed the p©res of the skin. This substance wont come off and my dermatologist has pres cribed many treatments to no avail so far. It is making me ill. My face feels as thought it was covered with a mud pack, which had dried, then could not be removed. The painter, whom I sus pe c t of cormnitting this atroc ity, is free, and no one has even bothered to i nvestigate him. I ' ve had no police protec tion at all and not even the courtesy of a report s o I could file my c laim with the insurance company fo r the missing items taken from my home. I have called the policenany times, request i ng this report and all I get is a promise or am told Officer Owens is off-duty. Will you please try to help me? I can't remove the substance from my bath tub , lavatory or kitchen sink either . I have even tried varnish remover. The substance has been sprayed on the drape s, upholstering , bed spreads, furniture, walls and woodwork . They also sprayed my new wall-to-wall carpeting and some carpet i ng exi sting on the floors. The pile is s t uck to gether . It seems that I have fallen into the hands of crooks . The contracto r did not complete his contract, rior pay some of his workmen, so t hey have f i led l i ens against my house. He brought the painters to the job and this work the contractor wa s supposed to have paid for as a part o f the contrac t . I t l ooks as though an owner ha s no r ight s, by law , a t a l l , no t even t he right of police pro t ecti on . I have retained an at to r ne y who has filed su it agains t the contractor f or default of contrac t . But that will take time and I nee d imme diate ass i stance. The second matte r concerns both t he Pol i ce Dep artment and t he Parks Department . I live across the street from Chastain Memor ial Park on Lake Forrest Drive , N.W. Before we pur chased our l o t , we were to l d by some members of Mr . Chastain ' s family t hat he had bequeathe d the acreage on whi ch the park is located t o; I believe , Fulton County , as the prope rty at that time was loca t ed outside the c ity limits, wi th the stipulation that a golf course be built on it and that the park be kept be autiful in order to be an asset to that section of the county. After this park was incorporated into the City of Atlanta , the connnissioners began letting the park run down. It has been very shabbily kept and the connnissioners have even tried to give a concession to a company to ins tall amus ement-type equ ipment in the park. The people in my sec tion have been forced constantly , over the yea rs, to fight this sort of thing. as all of us have quite a bit of money tied up in our property and the area is restricted. This undesirable use of the park would completely ruin a nice neighborhood, one that has always been quiet and beautiful, and it would at the same time greatly devaluate our property. 2 �Within the past five years or so the Parks Connnissioner has done several things cl andestine ly , so that we did not learn abou t it in time to prates t . The first thing was the erec tion of poorly cons truc ted shacks on the ball field at the co rner of Wieuca and Lake Forres t Drive to house the Little League's ball equipment . They had alre ady graded the land, installed s torm sewers for drainage and erec ted tal l bright lights so games could be played at night as well as during the day . They also installe d loud speakers, whi c h they turne d up so high that the s ound has just about shattered our ear drums. We cannot sit in our living rooms without c l osing the windows and drawing the blinds bec aus e of the noise and the blinding lights . We can't even hear our t e l evisions. This fie l d is us ed f or bo th baseball and fo o tbal l, whi ch means that this a c tivity goes on most of the year . We have just learned that the Parks Commi s sion i s getting ready to build a stadium on the park site just across from my home, s outh of the one on the corner of Wieuc a and Lake Forrest Drive . Grading has already been done and probably the drainage sys t em. Thi s work has also been done c landestinely . The portion of the park neare r the street ac r oss from me is already being used for baseball and football prac ti ce. This we do not object to. It is the ball park and the inconsideration of the people using the facilities whi ch is objec tionable. At the present time, the nice, considerate mammas and pappas of these practicing ball players come out in droves, park their cars on both sides of Lake Forrest Drive covering a two block ar~a. The street is a two lane street only, and there is posted on the park side of the street signs denoting "No Parking at Any Time" . In spite of this, these nice people ignore the parking rules, the rights of others and park anywhere they please. Consequently, the late afternoon, heavy traffic (and our street accomroodates heavy traffic) has only one lane left on which to travel. This creates a traffic jam every afternoon, which lasts for alroost two hours. Poor working people, like myself, after having worked all day, fought the heavy traffic through the city, arrive near home to find tha t they can't get through. So we sit and wait for the traffic to clea~ the one lane before we are able to drive into our own driveways. But, many times lately, even the privilege of driving into our driveways has been denied us, for junior's nice considerate parents are now parking across our driveways. This has happened time after time. I have called the police and so have my neighbors. They come out and politely request these people to move their cars. In the meantime, my car sits in the one lane, blocking traffic for blocks behind me until the officer can find the lawbreaker and get the car out of the way. He doesn't even give the person a ticket. Across the street in the "No Parking" zone sits a long row of cars, parked illegally. The officer does not even say a word to them, just ignores it. He gives me a line about trying to do something for the kids to cut down on delinquency. Right here, may I make a suggestion? Why doesn't someone do something about the delinquent parents? After all, junior's trouble boils down to 3 �the fact that mannna and pappa ei the r ·don't care or are too ignorant to do anything about controlling Junior. They have found an eas y solution just dump Juni or into the hands of a coach and t hen that leaves them free to go on t heir merry way unhampered. So, these delinquent parents, because of their inability t o shoulder their own responsibilities, are al lowed to inconveni ence and annoy law-abiding tax payers, even though -;: these same parents are members of a minority group whose boys are interested in baseball or football. Do we have no righ t s at all? The straw that broke the camels back occurred last Saturday morning, Oc t ober 21st 1967. Ar ound 8 :00 A. M. I had occasion to l eave my home on a very important errand . Whe n I was ready to leave, I f oun d my driveway blocked again . I c alled the po lice, waited 40 minutes but if they came, I did not see them. While I was looking for the police car , the car b lock ing my drive drove off. I gathered up my things t o leave again and found that another car had jus t driven up and parked in my driveway, partially blo cking it. Yes, I was f urious! I again called the po lice and told them that if they didn't get out there in a hurry, I would take mat ters into my own hands. They came, but the offi cer began giving me more talk about entertaining the children . I demanded that he give the person blocking my driveway a ticket and remove the cars from a cross the street in the "No Parking" zone also . He called his Lieutenant . I waited. By this time I was an hour late. The Lieutenant finally came and I asked him to do the same thing. He told the officer to find the owners of the cars a nd ask them to repark their cars and to ask the owner of the car blocking me to move the ca r. This took time. No ticket was given anyone e xcept one car whose owner di d not seem to be present . So wha t happened! The very considera te mammas and pappas were back Monday afternoon, a ll of them par ked along the " No Pa r kin g" zone and in front of drivewa ys again. The y know, o f course, that the y wi ll never get a t i cke t , but wil l jus t be as ked oh, so poli tely , t o 100ve thei r cars . I s this the way the Poli ce Depa r tment is supposed to f u lfil l their du tie s? Ar e we , the tax payi ng , l aw- abi ding citi zens s upposed t o be happy and e ndure this tre atment? I would l ike t o ask and have answe r ed t wo ques tions , Mr. Alle n. No . 1 : Who pays f o r a ll o f thi s deve l opment o f ba ll par ks , grand stands , lighting systems , gradi ng , drainage sys tems , loud speakers , etc. ? I t must take quite a slice of the tax payer ' s 100ney to do this . No. 2: How long does the City of At l anta expec t their burdened tax payers to stand for s uch treatment an d at the same time be pena l ize d by having their property , for which taxes are high , devaluated by such action on the part of the Parks Connnission, as well as having their privacy invaded and being inconvenienced all of the time? Mr. Mayor, I am not only asking, but I am demanding that my driveway be kept clear. If the police department cannot or will not do this, I am taking the right to clear it whenever I find it blocked. I know that blocking of an individual driveway is illegal and I defy aoyone to deny me the privilege of right-of-way into my own property. 4 �I apol6gize for the length of this letter , but it was ne ces sary in order to give you a c lear pi c ture of the situation.

Freeman, Esquire Attorney at Law First National Bank Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Riehard Dear Richard: Elliott Goldstein is at home 111 and has asked me to contaet you concerning the following matter in his absence. As Elliott discussed with you previously, we are quite concerned by the manner in which the liquor license in conneetion with the Racquet Club has been handled . It appears to us that this 1s truly an excellent illustration of being "guilty by association. 11 Therefore, e feel that our clients are entitled to have the facts presented, rather than to be denied their rights based on rumors. Therefore, we suggest tbat you select an investigator, acceptable to us, and we will pay the reasonable expenses of a thorough and complete investigation, so that the facts may be available to your committee and to the appropriate authorities. Al.so, Mr . Cerami would like to have the opportunity of discussing this matter with you personally, at your convenience . In the meantime, should you agree to this investigation, e would suggest that the bar facilities at the Racquet Club would be re-leased to Mr. Jack Rice and operated by him independent of the owners or the Racquet Club. · I have tried to reach you by telephone, but I understand that you are quite busy. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of writing you so that you may consider this proposal as soon as possible.

A unique system is used in obtaining a list of major appliances he can steal from each home. Information is gathered for the burglar by women who call residences stating she is making a survey and gives the name of a prominent organization with the assurance that she is not conducting a sales gimmick and requests cooperation by answering a few questions needed by her research program. The caller then reads a list of questions such as: Number in family Number employed outside the home Televisions -- size, model, color or black and white Sewing machine -- make, manual or electric Vacuum cleaner -- make and type Radios -- make and size Stereo, if portable Lawn mowers, make, size, riding or self propelled Air conditioning units -- make, tonnage of portable units The caller thanks the housewife for being very helpful. The burglar now has a list of what each home contains. He becomes very selective in his profession. "Ye s, we have a c olor te levis ion." 20 �K-9 SQUAD Outrunning an escaping burglar who has a head start can be very difficult for a police officer, but a simple matter for a K-9 dog, thereby creating a need for a K-9 Squad. Our K-9 Squad consists of one lieutenant and twelve officers, each with a trained dog. When off duty, the dog resides at the hoine of the officer. Befo.re an officer is assigned to the K-9 Squad, his neighborhood is checked for any adverse attitude directed towar.ds a dog living in the vicinity, also, the pen in which the dog is kept must be sanitary and well constructed so as to prevent the dog from escaping. A prospective K-9 dog must have above average intelligence and of even temperment, not over two years of age or under one year of age, should weigh 80 lbs., or more, be in good health, male sex and German Shepherd breed. In selecting a dog for the K-9 Corp, approximately six out of every ten dogs fail to pass tests required by the trainer and are eliminated as prospects for our K-9 Corp. After a dog is selected, he is put through training periods by a professional dog trainer. He is taught to be aggressive and not afraid of gun fire or noise. The dog, during its course of training, is taught to grab the arm in which a perpetrator holds a weapon, thereby preventing use of such weapon. The dog is taught to hold the subject without inflicting additional injury pending the the arrival of the officer. The officer that the new dog will be assigned to work with also attends training school. After graduation, they are designated for street duty. Training wi II continue under the supervision of our professional trainer. Periodically he conducts re-training programs in which the dog is given various tests which indicate its merits and capabilities. The K-9 Squad has two trucks designed to hold the dogs. The trucks are used in covering large areas and transporting the dog from one section to another when necessary. K-9 dogs are very valuable when used for searching large buildings, warehouses and unlighted areas for hidden criminals. 21 �- - - -- - -- - - - - -- - ACTIVITIES OF IDENTIFICATION BUREAU Persons photographed and fingerprinted Persons identified by fingerprints Sets of fingerprints made Dis positions to the F.

Color slides are made of all persons arrested for robbery and sex crimes. Their image is projected on a screen in exact life size, in natural color and is reviewed by victims and witnesses for identification purposes. The slides are classified and filed according to age, race, sex and height of arrested person. The system is cross indexed with the identification number. During 1967 over 1,700 color slides were made. This system is a great improvement over the four inch by five inch black and white mug shots and produced such favorable results that our present plans are to expand it until all major crimes are eventually included in this color slide system. SEARCHING FOR PERPETRATOR 23 �CRIME PREVENTION ii I, A new concept in cnme prevention was inaugurated by this department during 1967. We are striving to change the thinking and behavior of potential criminals by creating a desire for them to become worthwhile citizens with a correct sense of values which include a respect for City, State and Federal laws and an obedience to home regulation. WE SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMEN T To deter a person from becoming a criminal and taking the first wrong step, this training must start with youth. Some sections of the city already contain recreational organizations and agencies capable of absorbing the youth population into various constructive activities. SKATE-O-RAMA 2,500 participat ed 24 �CRIME PREVENTION II , In other areas of the city, we find a need for youth guidance organiz a tions. Realizing this need, the department has broadened the structure of crime pre vention by sponsoring several aven ue s of activity for our young people. We encourage and assist groups such as Junior Deputy and Junior Crime Prevention Clubs, since these groups participate in crime prevention by influencing other people to live clean lives. JUNIOR CRIME FIGHTERS Our officers co-operate in providing sight-se e ing tours for the youngsters and assist the Jay cees in providing entertainment during half-time periods at ne ighborhood non-professional football games. Our officers speak to many adult groups suc h as PTA's, ci vic organizations and schools on vanous crime prevention subjects. LOST CHILD FINDS FRIEND 25 �1967 TRAFFIC ACCIDENT SUMMARY l.

Often times, people are trapped inside wrecked vehicles. Danger of fire is ev er present, thus creating the need for emergency rescue vehicles with great maneuverbility and power. Io answer of chis need , two small but powerful vehicles equipped with four-wheel driv e capable of moving heavy broken down trucks from the traffic arteries were added to the mobile units this year. They are manned by officers trained in resuscitation , first aid and other phases of rescue work. Due to their great maneuverbility, these small vehicles can reach the scene of an emergency much faster than the large heavy type rescue vehicles. These vehicles are in addition to the four trucks that patrol our expressway syste m rendering assistance to stranded motorists . When not involved in rescue operations, the vehicles patrol the e x pre s sways helping ocher police units in the regulation and control of vehicular traffic.

This number greatly increased during 1967 . Illegal and unauthorized use of credit cards cost American citizens between twenty-five and thirty million dollars per year and from all indications, this amount will continue to increase. Merely by presenting a credit card, cash and most any type of service or commodity is obtainable on demand by the holder of credit cards. Various methods a re used to obtain credit cards, Some are stolen by pocket pickers , some by resident burglars and some from hotel and motel guests. They are also counterfeited. Airlines, department stores and service stations are targets in the credit card racket. Tremendous bills are run up very fast at motels and hotels especially in large cities . before the owner has any knowledge that. his credit card has been stolen. Service stations are frequent victims in this sophisticated form of larceny . Not only is the credit card used for purchasing motor fuel, it is used for purchasing tires a nd other items offered for sale in the station . In one case, a victim received a bill for twenty high priced automobile tires that had been purchased two at a time in different stations between Atlanta and C a lifornia , using a stolen credit card. In a distant city, a young boy with a stolen credit card ran up bills for over ten thousand dollars having parties and purchasing gifts for girls he met, before being apprehended. HOTEL PAID B Y CR EDIT CARD 34 �GULLIBLE CITIZENS SWINDLED Widows and poor citizens are swindled by fast talking con-men who represent themselves as being reputable building contractors. These contractors seek their victims by door-to-door contact and telephone calls. The victim is promised first class workmanship below the market cost, for additional rooms , carports, driveways, patios and other type of remodeling to their home. In some instances, the victim signs a second mortgage unbeknowing. Tliis is done by the swindler at the time of the signing of the contract. He shuffles a mortgage paper in with the contract papers and the victim innocently signs all papers. In other cases , the perpetrator is given 50% of the total amount of the contract to purchase building material. The balance to be paid upon completion of the job . The perpetrator spends about a half day tearing out or doing preparatory work, leaves the job, neve_r to be heard of again. In mos t cas es , the victims are widows and uneducated people who are not in the position to sta nd such losses . In cases where second mortgages are made, the victim is laboring under the illusion that she is to pay a reasonable amount of money for the job. She is shocked when she receives a past due noti ce that she has failed to pay the first payment due on her second mortgage, which in most cases 1s more tha n she ordinarily would have paid had she been dealing with a reputable contra ctor .

This ruling applies only to chronic alcoholic cases. In the new ruling, the order stated that "excusal of one afflicted with chronic alcoholism from criminal prosecution is confined exclusively to those acts on his part which are compulsive as symptomatic of the disease and with respect to other behavior -- not characteristic of confirmed chronic alcoholism - he should be judged as any person not so afflicted." The judge did not exclude those drinkers whose alcoholic binges cause great harm to others and to the peace in general. It did not excuse those who get drunk and disturb the peace at will. It did Iiot excuse arrest of those drunk on the streets or in public places who are not classed as chronic alcoholics. The menace to the community of such persons will still be acknowledged. The Fulton County case is the first time in Georgia alcoholism has been judged to be a disease a nd not a cri me. Chronic alcoholics are not exempted from criminal guilt in cases involving criminality. The ruling reduced the effectiveness to only cases of drunkenness, loitering, and other directly rel ated to the state of intoxication. ALCOHOLIC 47 �ATTEMPT SUICIDE Attempt suicides show a drastic increase in recent years. In 1963 one hundred and forty-seven persons attempted to take their own lives. 1n 1967 two hundred persons attempted to take their lives. The records indicate that people who survive this searing emotional experience constitute a pool from which completed suicides are later drawn.

A unique system is used in obtaining a list of major appliances he can steal from each home. Information is gathered for the burglar by women who call residences stating she is making a survey and gives the name of a prominent organization with the assurance that she is not conducting a sales gimmick and requests cooperation by answering a few questions needed by her research program. The caller then reads a list of questions such as: Number in family Number employed outside the home Televisions -- size, model, color or black and white Sewing machine -- make, manual or electric Vacuum cleaner -- make and type Radios -- make and size Stereo, if portable Lawn mowers, make, size, riding or self propelled Air conditioning units -- make, tonnage of portable units The caller thanks the housewife for being very helpful. The burglar now has a list of what each home contains. He becomes very selective in his profession. "Ye s, we have a c olor te levis ion." 20 �K-9 SQUAD Outrunning an escaping burglar who has a head start can be very difficult for a police officer, but a simple matter for a K-9 dog, thereby creating a need for a K-9 Squad. Our K-9 Squad consists of one lieutenant and twelve officers, each with a trained dog. When off duty, the dog resides at the hoine of the officer. Befo.re an officer is assigned to the K-9 Squad, his neighborhood is checked for any adverse attitude directed towar.ds a dog living in the vicinity, also, the pen in which the dog is kept must be sanitary and well constructed so as to prevent the dog from escaping. A prospective K-9 dog must have above average intelligence and of even temperment, not over two years of age or under one year of age, should weigh 80 lbs., or more, be in good health, male sex and German Shepherd breed. In selecting a dog for the K-9 Corp, approximately six out of every ten dogs fail to pass tests required by the trainer and are eliminated as prospects for our K-9 Corp. After a dog is selected, he is put through training periods by a professional dog trainer. He is taught to be aggressive and not afraid of gun fire or noise. The dog, during its course of training, is taught to grab the arm in which a perpetrator holds a weapon, thereby preventing use of such weapon. The dog is taught to hold the subject without inflicting additional injury pending the the arrival of the officer. The officer that the new dog will be assigned to work with also attends training school. After graduation, they are designated for street duty. Training wi II continue under the supervision of our professional trainer. Periodically he conducts re-training programs in which the dog is given various tests which indicate its merits and capabilities. The K-9 Squad has two trucks designed to hold the dogs. The trucks are used in covering large areas and transporting the dog from one section to another when necessary. K-9 dogs are very valuable when used for searching large buildings, warehouses and unlighted areas for hidden criminals. 21 �- - - -- - -- - - - - -- - ACTIVITIES OF IDENTIFICATION BUREAU Persons photographed and fingerprinted Persons identified by fingerprints Sets of fingerprints made Dis positions to the F.

Color slides are made of all persons arrested for robbery and sex crimes. Their image is projected on a screen in exact life size, in natural color and is reviewed by victims and witnesses for identification purposes. The slides are classified and filed according to age, race, sex and height of arrested person. The system is cross indexed with the identification number. During 1967 over 1,700 color slides were made. This system is a great improvement over the four inch by five inch black and white mug shots and produced such favorable results that our present plans are to expand it until all major crimes are eventually included in this color slide system. SEARCHING FOR PERPETRATOR 23 �CRIME PREVENTION ii I, A new concept in cnme prevention was inaugurated by this department during 1967. We are striving to change the thinking and behavior of potential criminals by creating a desire for them to become worthwhile citizens with a correct sense of values which include a respect for City, State and Federal laws and an obedience to home regulation. WE SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMEN T To deter a person from becoming a criminal and taking the first wrong step, this training must start with youth. Some sections of the city already contain recreational organizations and agencies capable of absorbing the youth population into various constructive activities. SKATE-O-RAMA 2,500 participat ed 24 �CRIME PREVENTION II , In other areas of the city, we find a need for youth guidance organiz a tions. Realizing this need, the department has broadened the structure of crime pre vention by sponsoring several aven ue s of activity for our young people. We encourage and assist groups such as Junior Deputy and Junior Crime Prevention Clubs, since these groups participate in crime prevention by influencing other people to live clean lives. JUNIOR CRIME FIGHTERS Our officers co-operate in providing sight-se e ing tours for the youngsters and assist the Jay cees in providing entertainment during half-time periods at ne ighborhood non-professional football games. Our officers speak to many adult groups suc h as PTA's, ci vic organizations and schools on vanous crime prevention subjects. LOST CHILD FINDS FRIEND 25 �1967 TRAFFIC ACCIDENT SUMMARY l.

Often times, people are trapped inside wrecked vehicles. Danger of fire is ev er present, thus creating the need for emergency rescue vehicles with great maneuverbility and power. Io answer of chis need , two small but powerful vehicles equipped with four-wheel driv e capable of moving heavy broken down trucks from the traffic arteries were added to the mobile units this year. They are manned by officers trained in resuscitation , first aid and other phases of rescue work. Due to their great maneuverbility, these small vehicles can reach the scene of an emergency much faster than the large heavy type rescue vehicles. These vehicles are in addition to the four trucks that patrol our expressway syste m rendering assistance to stranded motorists . When not involved in rescue operations, the vehicles patrol the e x pre s sways helping ocher police units in the regulation and control of vehicular traffic. Personnel assigned to these vehicles are experts in operating the following equipment c a rried in the vehicles.

This number greatly increased during 1967 . Illegal and unauthorized use of credit cards cost American citizens between twenty-five and thirty million dollars per year and from all indications, this amount will continue to increase. Merely by presenting a credit card, cash and most any type of service or commodity is obtainable on demand by the holder of credit cards. Various methods a re used to obtain credit cards, Some are stolen by pocket pickers , some by resident burglars and some from hotel and motel guests. They are also counterfeited. Airlines, department stores and service stations are targets in the credit card racket. Tremendous bills are run up very fast at motels and hotels especially in large cities . before the owner has any knowledge that. his credit card has been stolen. Service stations are frequent victims in this sophisticated form of larceny . Not only is the credit card used for purchasing motor fuel, it is used for purchasing tires a nd other items offered for sale in the station . In one case, a victim received a bill for twenty high priced automobile tires that had been purchased two at a time in different stations between Atlanta and C a lifornia , using a stolen credit card. In a distant city, a young boy with a stolen credit card ran up bills for over ten thousand dollars having parties and purchasing gifts for girls he met, before being apprehended. HOTEL PAID B Y CR EDIT CARD 34 �GULLIBLE CITIZENS SWINDLED Widows and poor citizens are swindled by fast talking con-men who represent themselves as being reputable building contractors. These contractors seek their victims by door-to-door contact and telephone calls. The victim is promised first class workmanship below the market cost, for additional rooms , carports, driveways, patios and other type of remodeling to their home. In some instances, the victim signs a second mortgage unbeknowing. Tliis is done by the swindler at the time of the signing of the contract. He shuffles a mortgage paper in with the contract papers and the victim innocently signs all papers. In other cases , the perpetrator is given 50% of the total amount of the contract to purchase building material. The balance to be paid upon completion of the job . The perpetrator spends about a half day tearing out or doing preparatory work, leaves the job, neve_r to be heard of again. In mos t cas es , the victims are widows and uneducated people who are not in the position to sta nd such losses . In cases where second mortgages are made, the victim is laboring under the illusion that she is to pay a reasonable amount of money for the job. She is shocked when she receives a past due noti ce that she has failed to pay the first payment due on her second mortgage, which in most cases 1s more tha n she ordinarily would have paid had she been dealing with a reputable contra ctor .

This rype activity varies from boy scout leadership to conducting religious services for our silent citizens. Due to the limited space m this publication, we are illustrating only two of these endeavors. While a ssi gned to the Morning Watch (12PM-8AM) Officer C. L. Huddleston observed groups of deaf people gathering for fo od and fellowship in a downtown restaurant. He obs erved them very closely and became interested in them. Years lat er, he transferred from the mission committee to the silent department in his church. Not knowing the A B C' s in the si gn language, he studied the sign language i n orde r to take part in teaching the word of God to our d eaf c itizens . Officer Huddles ton now teaches a class of 45 deaf people each Sunday. *********** BIBLE TEACHING BY SIGN LANGUAGE Ray H .

Several have attended the Traffic Institute at Northwestern University and the Southern Police Institute. The Georgia State College now offers a two year course in Police Administration which leads to an Associates of Arts Degree. The College is one of the few institutions in the nation offering this course. Twenty-six Atlanta police officers are presently enrolled in this degree program. Various degrees held by other officers include: One 'Bachelor Electrical Engineering One Associate of Art Three Bachelor of Business Administration ~ r J_.? Three Bachelor of Science Four Bachelor of Art One Bachelor of Divinity r .j ATTEN DING COLLEGE 46 �ALCOHOLISM A ruling by the Superior Court caused a change in drunkenness cases booked after July 19, 1%7. This ruling applies only to chronic alcoholic cases. In the new ruling, the order stated that "excusal of one afflicted with chronic alcoholism from criminal prosecution is confined exclusively to those acts on his part which are compulsive as symptomatic of the disease and with respect to other behavior -- not characteristic of confirmed chronic alcoholism - he should be judged as any person not so afflicted." The judge did not exclude those drinkers whose alcoholic binges cause great harm to others and to the peace in general. It did not excuse those who get drunk and disturb the peace at will. It did Iiot excuse arrest of those drunk on the streets or in public places who are not classed as chronic alcoholics. The menace to the community of such persons will still be acknowledged. The Fulton County case is the first time in Georgia alcoholism has been judged to be a disease a nd not a cri me. Chronic alcoholics are not exempted from criminal guilt in cases involving criminality. The ruling reduced the effectiveness to only cases of drunkenness, loitering, and other directly rel ated to the state of intoxication. ALCOHOLIC 47 �ATTEMPT SUICIDE Attempt suicides show a drastic increase in recent years. In 1963 one hundred and forty-seven persons attempted to take their own lives. 1n 1967 two hundred persons attempted to take their lives. The records indicate that people who survive this searing emotional experience constitute a pool from which completed suicides are later drawn.

Le t me invite your a ttention to s ome s ignificant forward steps taken during 1966: For exa mpl e, we a re now using a n electronic computer to record and proc e s s traffic tick e ts . We plan to exten d this fa st a nd a ccurate method to h a ndle oth e r police re cord s .

C rime reports in the first part of the year genera lly showed a marked decrease . Rape, auto theft a nd larceny unde r $50 .00 , continued to show a decre ase for the entire year. But, during the last part of the year, whe n th e police were pre occupied with a firemen' s strike a nd racial disturbances , with street fighting, crime in all o the r c a tegories, i ncluding tra ffic fata lities and traffi c a ccidents , were on th e increa se. 1966 was the first full year of major leagu.e baseball and major league football in the City of Atlanta. T h e tra ffic control program at the stadium was excelle nt, allowing between 50,000 and 60,000 visito rs , on ma ny occasion s, to leave th e sta dium in a fe w minutes , without undue delay . T h e Detective Divi s ion, esp e cia lly the Lott er y Squa d, was v e ry much on the ale rt for gambling of all ki nds , and many gambli ng ·a rre s t s we re ma de - but, nothing was dis covere d to indica te th a t ga mbling wa s on the in cr ease , o r that out-of-town ga mblers were a ttempting to operate in the City of Atlanta. The Internal Se curity Squa d wa s reorganized during th e year, and this dep a rtment is enjoying the tightest internal se c urity of any poli ce depa rtm e nt in th e n a tion . The Atl a nta Police Departm ent h as a very fin e li aison with all fe d eral a g encie s, e spe cially the Offi ce of Law Enforcement Assi s ta n ce , a nd a dditiona l ass istance a nd equipment a re e xp e cted to be added during the coming y e a r.

T o mee t th e d ema nds of our challenging time s, our police departm e nt mu s t be highl y trained in ma ny s p e cializ e d fields.

Le t me invite your a ttention to s ome s ignificant forward steps taken during 1966: For exa mpl e, we a re now using a n electronic computer to record and proc e s s traffic tick e ts . We plan to exten d this fa st a nd a ccurate method to h a ndle oth e r police re cord s .

C rime reports in the first part of the year genera lly showed a marked decrease . Rape, auto theft a nd larceny unde r $50 .00 , continued to show a decre ase for the entire year. But, during the last part of the year, whe n th e police were pre occupied with a firemen' s strike a nd racial disturbances , with street fighting, crime in all o the r c a tegories, i ncluding tra ffic fata lities and traffi c a ccidents , were on th e increa se. 1966 was the first full year of major leagu.e baseball and major league football in the City of Atlanta. T h e tra ffic control program at the stadium was excelle nt, allowing between 50,000 and 60,000 visito rs , on ma ny occasion s, to leave th e sta dium in a fe w minutes , without undue delay . T h e Detective Divi s ion, esp e cia lly the Lott er y Squa d, was v e ry much on the ale rt for gambling of all ki nds , and many gambli ng ·a rre s t s we re ma de - but, nothing was dis covere d to indica te th a t ga mbling wa s on the in cr ease , o r that out-of-town ga mblers were a ttempting to operate in the City of Atlanta. The Internal Se curity Squa d wa s reorganized during th e year, and this dep a rtment is enjoying the tightest internal se c urity of any poli ce depa rtm e nt in th e n a tion . The Atl a nta Police Departm ent h as a very fin e li aison with all fe d eral a g encie s, e spe cially the Offi ce of Law Enforcement Assi s ta n ce , a nd a dditiona l ass istance a nd equipment a re e xp e cted to be added during the coming y e a r.

TH E D E NV' ER PO S T Tuesday. Oct.24.1967 / icago Lea s U.S. In egro Policemen Continued froin page 5 incidents don't blossom into ugly racial turmoil. Griffin and Williams both happen to be Negroes - officers of the kind that many Chicago police officials believe can do a better job in tense racial situations than white officers can. They have the "feel" of the ghettos. Chicago's Negro policemen are more numerous than in any other city in America. Department spokesmen estimate there are between 3,000 and 3,500 Negroes on the 10,967-member police force. A study by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law put the number at 2,940. Either way, Chicago ·s percentage of Negro policemen is second only to Baltimore's. Taking the lower figure of the Lawyers' Committee, the Negro contingent is 26.8 per cent of the department. Chicago's 812,637 Negro citizens make up only 22.9 per cent of the city's over-all population of 3,550,400. Included in the ranks of Negro policemen are 91 sergeants, 7 lieutenants and 5 captains. Four of the captains are district commanders. Most Decorated Officer or for the department is to investigate all incidents of bigotry or discrimination with-in the department and in its dealings with the public. No one pretends, however, that the department's full integration and its policy of fairness in promotions have solved all its problems. At the time Mosby was interviewed he had just written a story about an attractive Negro woman's complaint that several policemen-Negro and white-had staged an illegal gambling raid on her home, without a search warrant, and roughed her up. "I couldn't tell you a lie and say the Negro community is completely satisfied with the department," says Deputy Chief Nolan. "They're not. We're not perfect by a long shot. But we certainly try to do every damn thing we can. Nolan is a Negro, too. There are now two ways an officer can advance to high command positions in the Chicago department. Most of them do it the hard way-by competing against other officers on civil service examinations. Commander Sims made his civil service rank of captain by placing first on a list of 200 lieutenants who took the examination. He was the first Negro ever to top an exam list. The department's most decorated officer is a burglary detail detective, Howard SpoonSpecial Recognition er, 35.

James B. Conlisk Jr., who succeeded the retiring Wilson on the day Big Jim Nicholaou shot Julius Woods. As a result, "there are people in positions of command who have some idea of the problems in the Negro ghettoes," says Don Mosby, police reporter for the Daily Defender, the nation's biggest Negro daily newspaper. "If a Negro can go to a Negro captain and explain his difficulty, it creates, psychologically, a much better situation. A Negro officer is more acutely attuned to his problems. "I was raised here," Mosby adds. "I went through some of the bad years. It used to be if you were Negro with an Irish name and you got stopped by a cop, you would end up getting knocked on your butt. Things have changed." About 60 per cent of Chicago's two-man patrol cars carry one Negro officer and one white. There aren't enough Negro officers to complete the job. "Who an officer works with has nothing to do with how effectively he does his job," says Lieutenant Williams. "We have had here, to my knowledge, one instance where a white officer refused to work with a Negro on strictly those grounds- the man's color .

WILLIAM S Ho s the "fee l" of the g hettos. lations with minorities. It seeks out complaints and tries to remove their causes before a crisis develops. This is accomplished through constant contacts with neighborhood action groups, civil rights organizations, even outfits like the American Nazi party. Community services sergeants are assigned to all 20 police districts to maintain lines of communication with the public. Sergeant Wilson, the man who made the 175 telephone calls the day Julius Woods was shot, is one of them. Capt. Thomas P . Hayes, the department's community relations coordinator, runs a series of monthly workshops in each district at which the department goes looking for criticism. "We_ never went out seeking complaints before," Hayes says. "We don't condone brutality or discrimination·. When it's brought to our attention to take the proper action and report back to the complainant as quickly as possible." The department's Internal Investigations Division helps in these investigations, but it doesn't have the final say ever ·whether the police were right or wrong. An attorney reviews all its investigations and has the power to alter or overrule its findings. He seldom has to. "The policeman who might be responsible for an incident today i s not doing the department any damn good," says Nolan. "If he's covered up for the first time, he might touch off something next time that would involve the whole city." Spanish-Amer-icans Soug ht Richard Heffernan, the department's assistant personnel director, has been mor e concerned about r ecruiting Spanish-American and P uerto Rican officers lately tban be has Negroes. "We realized the problem with the Spanish before the Spanish came to us," he said. , " We surveyed the force and realized we didn't have as many as we should. We p robably had four Spanish-speaking sergeants with Spanish backgrounds." Courses were set up to teach more patrolmen on the force how to speak Spanish, and Heffernan got from the Civil Ser vice Commission the names of more ' than 100 a DETECTIVE HOWARD SPOONER, LEFT, MOST DECORATED OFFICER IN CHICAGO Here he receives Lambert Tree Gold Medal Award for exceptional b ra ve ry in ceremony three years ago.

Mexican-Americans and Puerto Ricans who had taken the entrance exams and failed. All of them were invited to take a preexamination study course ·set up under the Act. Those with jobs were to attend 40 weeks of classes in night school. Those who were unemployed would go for 20 weeks of dayti~ classes and would get an allowance during training. The first class of 15 men graduated last Aug. 18. Thirteen passed the civil service examination. "There's still a problem, though," said Heffernan. " One man is definitely out because even though he could pass the test in English, he can't speak it well enough to be a policeman. Another was too short, and a third was just too far underweight. So there are three who aren't going to make it." Training Best Solution Heffernan said he feels training, both for entrance examinations and promotions, is the best way to get more minority group representation in police departments. "I realize some of the more militant Negroes would say, 'Forget the civil service. Give it to us'," Heffernan said. "But I don't believe at all in reducing our requirements. . "The criminal isn't getting any dumber. He's getting smarter every day. Further more, he said, reducing the requirements for some officers and not for others would only create resentment and internal strife in a police depar tment. Lieutenant Williams, who might fit Heffernan's definition of a militant Negro, said in his opinion th~ only attributes necessary for a good police officer are good health, judgment and the ability to reason. "I'm familiar with all those excuses," he said. "But I r egard them as just that-excuses. · " Any in-depth study of ~ department will show that the men who have gotten the promotions are no . better qualified than any other officer. I r ealize that is a pretty broad statement. "But it's easy to say they can't do it if they've never been given an opportunity to do it. "It doesn't lend itself to ready solutions," Williams said. " Somebody in a uthority has got to assert himself. When he does, he'll find he doesn't stand alone." �T HE D EN V ER P O ST Chief Says Minority Officers "The fact partmem i Thoma J. · '·They are o Judases and s '"l'heir pres ce swer all th charges you."

If real trouble starts they wfll be the first on the scene. San Francisco's l,lalO-man Police Department is one of e many in metropolitan centers that is in the throes of trying to develop a war able plan for riot control as a result of the growing militancy of the U.S. civil rights movement. Like manv others. it has been accused of police bruta.lity a t times and of dsicriminating against minorities at times. And it has the same personnel pr lems that aggravate th~ situatian elsewhere. It is short oi men. It has fe\ er 'egro officers than it would like to have and than the city's civil rights leaders would like to ha e. It has no ·egro officers in command positions. Critics 'who seek: simple solutio say it's no great problem lo r ecruit and promote m ore Negro policemen. But police administrators interviewed at the r ecent convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in Kansas City, Mo., said the opposite is true, especially in the larger cities. More 1 \i an E~ua\1 If a city bends" its civil service rules or fi nds a way to sidestep them for the benefit of minority group officers, it is declaring them more than equal. "The obligation is on the man himself," said P olice Chief Frank C. Ramon of Seattle, Wash. " Any man who is competent to pass the entrance examination can prepare himself to pass the promotional exams. But it requires diligence and continuity of ef- fort." There are fewer than 12 Negroes on Seattle's 1.001}-man force. One of them is a lieutenant. commanding the city jail staff, and another is a patrol division sergeant. "The whole design of civil service is to give each man an equal opportunity for advancement," Ramon said. "During his time in rank he can prepare for the promotional tests. " San Francisco has developed programs to Seeing this, he said, young Negro men opt to remain a black brother instead of going over to Whitey's side. Spec ial Classes Offered Good C ommanders? Special classes are offered at San Francisco Sta e C liege for any policeman who ants to take a promotional exam and who suspects he can't make the grade. " We encourage - in fact we insist to a degree - th.at the Negro officers take part in the program to gi e them an equal chance, Cahill said. But ou can't have special training for minorities alone. That's discrimination in reverse, and you cannot do it. You just can't do it." · So far only one 'egro patrolman in San Francisco bas qualified for promotion to ser- geant. 'Ib.e Bay City's recrui1ing drive was a failure on its first effort. "We put on a program jointly sponsored b · the department and the adult education division to enable minorities to take a course for entrance, Cahill said. ' 'We only got "J:l to sign up and about half of them were Negro. Dropouts lo ·ered t.he class to 5, and it as discontinued. «we advertise," he said. "We do everything possible to get Negroes to come into the department. But I would rather pay overtime lo the men in the department meeting the standards than lower the standards · to bring more men in. " Since our race riots we ha,e trouble recruiting anybody-not just Negroes." Do Ne gr o es make good commanders? Definitely yes, said Deputy Chief Richard Simon of Los Angeles. " Negro officers in our department are shown no favors and no restrictions " he said. " As a r esult they're proud of. their jobs. We find .that a Negro officer who passes our exam and enters the academy is as good as anybody else. He's just a person. Simon said he didn't know exactly how many Negroes are on the 5,200·man Los Angeles force, because the California F air . Employment P ractices Department _prohibits keeping statistics on r ace. But he said there are several hundred, including many in command positions. "Our promotional examinations are extremely competitive," he said, "particularly above lieutenant. A man has to study for months or years to pass. A Negro officer has to want to work that hard: Ours do." The department is completely integrated. Los Angeles, about 14 per cent Negro, has instituted a series of public meetings and presentations in schools to recr uit more Negro officers. Plans are being made to give entrance examinations, both written and physical, in every police station instead of one central location. Applicants will be able to take the exams in a day. Pay Not C ompetitive Revamping Training But one thing that police officials suspect, Ramon and Cahill included, is that men and women who are well educated and who would be able to pass rigid civH service exams simply don't want to work for policemen's pay. " Let's face it," said inspector Paul Lenz of the Los Angeles P olice Department. "There is the same demand for the welleducated Negro today as for the well-educated Caucasian. We 've got to start competing in the way of salaries for the educated man, be he Negro or white." Another possible reason for difficulty in recr uiting Negroes was suggested by Herman Johnson, a Negro and a member of the Kansas City, Mo., Human Relations Commission. "Negroes see no image in the _police department any more," he said. " The history has been, throughout the country, that the police departments are not the kindest and fairest organizations in their dealings with the people of the inner city areas." A white Kansas City, Kan. , government official who didn't want to be quoted directly expressed the view that Negroes who advance to the higher ranks in police work "lose touch" with the Negro community at large and are looked upon as members of the It also is revamping its training from a straight three months in the police academy to a 20-week course of alternate academy classes and field work- getting the rookies out on the streets with regular officers to see how it's done. • Lenz and Simon said the department hopes to make testing and training more available to applicants without lowering the department's standards. The only police official interviewed by The Denver Post who said he doesn't have trouble recruiting Negroes was Arthur Andrew Chojnacki of Hamtramck, Mich., a city of 40,000 that is enclosed on three sides by Detroit. Chojnacki, a policeman 27 years, said there has always been a substantial numb'er of Negro officers on his 84-man department. There are now 15, including a Negro lieutenant, who succeeded Chojnacki as head of the 16-man detective bureau, and two Negro sergeants. Chojnacki said he settled on the Negro lieutenant as detective chief after a trial period in which he rotated command monthly between the Negro and two white lieutenants. "The men accepted it very well," he said. "They take their orders. He's actually fair- white power structure. 2 Kansas Citys Have Negro KANSAS CITY, Mo.-In most respects Lt. Col. Clifford A. Warren and Maj. Boston Daniels are no different from career officers on metropolitan police departments elsewhere in the country. They don't want to be. But in some settings-Denver, for example -they would stand out for one reason alone. Both men are Negr'les with command responsibi,itiec;. Warren, tall and trim, is 56 years old but looks under 40. It's been 28 years since he entered the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department as a probationary patrolman. Heads Division in Department He now heads the department's Youth, Women's and Missing Persons Division and .is one of the top half-dozen police comtnandPrs on this side of the Kansas River. He also is the highest-ranking Negro polic&man in Missouri Daniels , 62, is the graying, heavyset detective chief of the Kansas City, Kan., Po- lice Department. Like Warren, he answers only to his chief. A policeman 22 year s, Daniels was the first Negro officer in Kansas to win his lieutenant's bars, the first to make captain and is now the state's only Negro major . Civil service in the two Kansas Citys, however, doesn't cover all ranks of policemen, so there is room for promotions to be made outside such narrow limits as examination scores. Chief Promote s in Kansas On the Kansas side, civil service competition applies only to men making their original applications for police work. All promotions are made by the chief, who first asks for recommendations from his three division commanders. There are civil service exams for the ra,nks of sergeant, lieutenant and captain in Kansas City, Mo., with the captain test added only recently. Majors and lieutenant colonels are appointed by the chief. • I e The different civil service r ules may be one reason for the different roles Negroes play in the two police departments. In Kansas there are 41 Negro· officers out of 223 men. A Negro captain and two Negro lieutenants work under Daniels in the detective division, and there are Negro sergeants in the auto theft and youth bureaus, also headed by Daniels. A Negro lieutenant and a Negro corporal work in the unifor m division, and a Negro sergeant is on the motorcycle squad. On the 1M issouri Side In Kansas City, Mo., however, there are only 50 Negro officers out of a cur rent departmental strength of 922. And there are no Negro supervisors in the ranks between Warren and the seven Negro sergeants . "Kansas City is a great token town," said Dr. Girard T. Bryant, a Negro educator appointed to the Kansas City (Mo. ) Board of Police Commissioners 3½ years ago by Missouri Gov. War ren Hearnes. "Cliff (Warren) is a very good officer- r 0 try to recruit more Ne o officers and to help them p.: - their promotional tests once they have progr~ through the patrol ra Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1967 7 ,., er than the white ones ar e- more understanding. To tell you the truth the men would rather work for him. " When the Detr oit rioters bore down on Hamtramck last July, Chojnacki said, " Our colored officers were just as anxious to get out there and stop it as the white ones were. " Chojn~cki and his men, using· what he called " P olish tanks" - big garbage compaction trucks-sealed off the six main thoroughfares into Hamtramck and in two places turned back crowds of rioters. $25,000 in Loot Recovered "We made 72 arrests the first night and recovered $25,000 in loot," he said. " Detroit loot. We didn't have a broken window in our city." Hamtramck is about 80 per cent P olishArnerican, and a substantial percentage of its remaining citizens ar e Negro. Chojnacki said his department hires any Negro who can pass the civil service exams and background check, and all promotions are based on civil service standards. St. Louis police officials have doubled the number of Negroes on their department in two years. There are now more than 300 out of an authorized str ength of 2,100 men. It was done by use of a cadet system, an ~ intense recr uiting ca mpaign in which Negro stars of the St. Louis Cardinals professional football team spoke at predominantly Negro high schools, and with the help of civil rights organizations. There also is an incentive program in which any officer who brings in a new recruit gets five extra vacation·days. "We've got a Negro captain who saved us all kinds of trouble this summer," said Edward L. Dowd, president of the St. Louis Board of P olice Commissioners. "He's got 250-275 officers under him, and I guess 200 of them are white. When he handles a situation there isn't the backlash there would be with a white commander." There are 4 Negro captains, 5 Negro lieu. tenants and about 35 Negro sergeants in St. Louis. In Force's Best Interest " It is in the depar tment's best interest to recognize a fair number of Negro officers with promotions," Dowd said. "We{ve done· it, and the men haven't resented it. As long as you pick a man for his capabilities, whether he's a white officer or a Negro officer, the men are willing to work for him." A training program was set up at the St. Louis police academy last year' to help potential r ecruits pass their entrance examinations. But there is no special training for promotions. The academy staff will outline a study program for anyone who wants to take a promotional exam, but "a man's got to study and do it on his own time," Dowd said. " li he wants to go to junior college we'll pay his tuition and arrange his work schedule. After that it's up to him." 0 a very fi ne man. But one Negro commander isn't enough. We've never had a captain or a lieutenant, and we don't have any Negro commanders over district stations." Although he was critical of the gap in Negro policemen, Dr. Bryant said it wasn't a simple matter to correct. Lieutenant's Exam a Barrier "The big stumbling block seems to be that they can't pass the lieutenant's exam," he said. "The men themselves realize their shortcomings. Two of them told me they just simply flunked the exams. One veteran sergeant didn't answer 22 questions, and he has a college degree." He said 7 of the 11 Negro detectives on the department also have college educations. Colonel Warren doesn't. He has only a high· school diploma. Warren's progression through the rank::was sporadic, and was helped along times by civil rights organizations. "I think the idea of making Cliff asf' Continued on page 8 tr- �8 THE DENVER PO S l Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1967 Men JUdged By Abilities Continued from page 7 to the chief was just one of those things where they put somebody in a position to satisfy some of the complaints," Dr. Bryant said. Aide to Three Chiefs LT. COL. CLIFFORD WARREN Top-ranked Negro in Missouri. Warren actually was assistant to three chiefs over seven years. He served under Bernard C. Brannon and the present chief, Clarence Kelley, plus Col. E. I. Hockaday, a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer who served as interim chief between Brannon's departure and Kelley's selection. Later, apparently in response to complaints by civil rights organizations, he was made night commander of operations with more than 450 men and women under his control. During this three years, Warren said, he "tried to determine the nature of some of the complaints and do something about them." Warren said the department's policies concerning Negroes have changed in the last few years. "We have undergone a complete reorganization in which Negro officers are assigned throughout the department," he said. "This was not in response to the complaints. Plans had been made prior to the complaints, but we were trying to put each man in a job where he could best serve. "We're making every effort to get away from the idea of a Negro officer or a white officer," he added. "We go on the man's ability. Many of our district commanders often don't know whether a man's Negro or white. He sends the men out, and if they happen to be partners they work together. " Asked whether he thought he had ever spent an unreasonable time in rank, Warren said, "Fr ankly, from the time I was a patrol officer up to becoming a sergeant of detectives, yes. It took me 16 years. Testing Stricter Now "But things are different now. If you make the top of the (promotion) list, that's it. We've had stricter testing procedures the last 15 years." Was his delay in making sergeant because of discrimination? "Actually, I don't know. Let's put it that way. After I did make sergeant I advanced through the ranks the same as white officers." Herman Johnson, a member of the city's H u m a n Relations Commission and vice president of the Missouri chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, had a different view of promotions. The department still "gets all military when you start pressing them about promotions for Negroes," he said. "They give you this hokum that they didn't pass the exam, or that they passed the exam but failed the oral, or that they've got demerits against their records." Negroes Apparently Stay Away MAJ. BOSTON DANIELS Chief of detectives. Both department and Negro spokesmen agree, however, that the over-all shortage of Negro policemen in Kansas City, Mo., is a recruiting problem more than anything else. Many Kansas City Negroes apparently don't want to be policemen. Current estimates by the City Planning Commission place Kansas City's population at about 585,500 in a metropolitan area of more than 1.3 mi1Iion. Johnson said about 102,000 citizens in the city proper are Negro, or about 17 to 18 per cent. The 50 Negro officers on the Police Department constitute 5.4 per cent. MOTORCYCLE POLICEMEN NATHANiEL VEAL (LEFT) AND RUSSELL LEASBURG Assignments for Negr9 officers in Miami indicate the doub le standard has ended. The department now is trying to do something about recruiting more Negroes. A Negro sergeant works full time at it in Negro neighborhoods, and cooperation is being sought from ·predominantly Negro churches and civil rights organizations. But Johnson said deep-seated resentment against the department is going to make it difficult. "The mere fact that you don't have open occupancy is a factor, " he said. "A Negro policeman generally can't move into a better neighborhood and live with his peers. He has to live with the thugs," Johnson said, referring to the crime rates in the ghettoes. Another factor, he said, is Negroes' traditional inability to make rank higher than sergeant. centages-it just worked out that way. "If we can find a good, qualified man, regardless of who it is, we're going to grab him," he said. " Our Negro officers do a real good job." IL But the Police and Fire Departments both had been segregated in recent years. "They sent Negro officers to poliae Negro parts of town," said Todd H. Pavela, executive director of the city's Commission on Human Relations. Most of our police brutality complaints, until two years , ago, were - against Negro officers. They were sort of a law unto themselves. " Boston (Major Daniels) got his reputa~ tion for his excellent police work in the Negro community. He was sort of the unofficial Negro chief of police." Pay Is 'Pretty Good' Increasingly Tolerant View "The police department salary may be mediocre for a white man but it's pretty good for a Negro," he said. "Auto assembly lines, post office work or teaching are about the only jobs with comparable pay. But if they don't advance beyond the lower ranks, they figure , 'Why bother?' " Capt. Clifford Holbert, the department's per·sonnel officer, said recruiters are concentrating now on trying to . hire recently discharged servicemen or graduates of police science courses at Kansas City's Metropolitan Junior College or Central Missouri State College at Warrensburg. Regular recruiting pitches a.re -made at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base outside Kansas City, Whiteman AFB at Knob Noster, Mo., and Ft. Leonard Wood n ea r, Waynesville, Mo. Missouri law requires that all Kansas City policemen be Missouri residents. But, says Dr. Bryant, " We have a hard time finding Negro recruits even when we go out of town." More recently the city has taken an increasingly tolerant racial view, partly because of the leadership of Mayor Joseph H. McDowell and partly as a r·esult of outside pressures. Four years ago the men in the two allNegro f i r e companies were assigned . throughout the department, and there are now a Negro district chief, 13 captains and a lieutenant in the Fire Department ranks. Negro and white police officers have been working side by side for two years, and a community relations unit was established about a year ago. Kansas City, Kan., Picture The Kansas City, Kan., population of about 180,000 also is between 17 and 18 per cent Negro, and the 41 Negro officers make up 18.4 per cent of the Police Department.

" The better-thinking Negro people in this town want good government, and it's being provided by the current administration," Major Daniels said. "The clergy and the Negro leaders feel we're on the r oad to progress." In the department itself, he said, "Right now we're riding all our district cars mixed. One Negr-o and one white officer. That's in all our heavy districts. "And it's workable. We try to give it everything we have. The boys are willing to work together, and they are." �THE DENVER POST REPORT ON THE TOPIC OF THE DAY Tuesday, October 24. 1967 WHY?

The ·oman's reaction was the kind Negro policemen iil alma t any Southern city could expect. . Sgt. C. J. Perry bad similar expenences. One woman, outraged at hearing a Negro answer the telephone at headquarters, demanded to talk to his superior. He transferred her to Perry. "Another nigger!" she exclaimed. "What the hell's going on down there? You got an all- igger police department?' ' Perry Can Laugh Now It wasn·t funnv at the time . but Perry can laugh now as he tells about it. " She thought all hope bad been lost," he said. Baugh, now 43, and Perry, now 47, are Ne"ro patrol lieutenar.t.s on the Atlanta PoIiC: Department. Baugh ta~es _ a . certain pride in the fact that his district_~n~ludes the Georgia State Capitol, the bailiwick of segre :itionist Gov. Lester .Maddox . Their commanding officer is the m u c h respected. nationally known Chief Hubert T. Jenkins 60, a member of President Jo ~ ~ son 's National Advisory Committee on Civil Disorder s and a past president of the Int~rnational Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). . By his own admission, J enkins also is a former Ku Kl ux Klansman. Many Things Have Chang_ed But a lot of things have changed m Atlanta since the days when thousands of hooded Klansmen trooped up Stone Mountain 15 miles east of here to burn crosses and deal with the "1'1egro problem" with chains. rope and shotguns. No longer does a Georgia office seeker have to be a Klan member to be elected. "I'm a law enforcement officer," says Jenkins. "Regardless of what they say over at the State Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court decisions are the law of the land." So Atlanta the most progressive of all Southern citi~s. bas bad a fully integrated police department for three years. Three of the 875-man department's 96 Negroes are lieutenants. Two are sergeants. Baugh is expected to make captain within a month. It hasn't always been that way, of course. Until six years ago Negro policemen were forbidden to patrol white neighborhoods. If a white was involved in a crime in a Negro neighborhood , the policy was for the Negro policeman to "detain" him and summon white officers to make the arrest. If t h e suspect was taken to jail, he could be sure that even there he wouldn't have to " mix" with Negroes. Onlv three vears ago the Atlanta Police Department dis banded its old 6 p.m. watch -an all-Negro outfit that supplemented the three rei-iiar ( all white) patrol watchesand assigned Tegroes throughout its r anks. Other Negroes derided them as "the YMCA cops." · The change from a segregationist department to one in which a Negro can now hope to make captain was long and gradual, and although political and citizen pressures sometimes had to make up for bis own lack of enthusiasm, no one discounts the importance of Jenkins' personal leadership. George Coleman, managing editor of the Atlanta Daily World, a Negro newspaper with a circulation of 25,000, calls Jenkins "the best police chief there's ever been in Atlanta. "He's a good man," Coleman said. "He's a flexible man. He and the mayor (Ivan Allen Jr.) are men who are logical in their thinking and who are able to see the chang-ing times. And they both used to be ardent segregationists." Incident Recalled Coleman recalled an incident several years ago when a white policeman called a Negro college professor "boy." Jenkins called his men together and told them : "Look the terms 'nigger' and 'boy' are offensive 'to 40 per cent of our population. Let's not use them any more." "It wasn't an order, exactly;• Jenkins told a Post reporter. "I just explained to them that if they offend people, it's going to make their job harder and create a lot of tr ouble we wouldn't ordinarily have. "But it came out on the front page of the New York Times the next day." Jenkins said be has "always bad good support from the mayor and the leaders of this community. Call it the power structure or whatever-the people who pay most of the money to get things done. "This has never been a labor community," he said. "It's always been a white c?lIar community, a business and commercial community. And if you l:t::.ve street fights or disturbances they don't like it. It's bad for business.-not only Negro business but white business as well ." Demands Still Coming In "We haven't satisfied all the Negroes," he said. "They're always demandfog this, that and the other thing. But in the Police Department we're trying to deal with people. Not with black people or white people. With people. Their color isn't importanl" Baugh, Perry and the other Negro ?fficers in Atlanta who have won promotions have done it on the basis of work performance and conduct, not on competitive civil service examinations. But there is no reason to believe they wouldn't have made it had there been civil service. Perry has a bachelors degree in French and English from Atlanta's Morehouse College and was a junior high scho.ol teacher before joining the department 16 years ago. Baugh, a former Marine drill instru~tor and one of the first Negroes ever recrmted into that branch of service, attended the University of Hawaii during his ·hitch in service but didn't graduate. He later took a Restriction s o n Unifo rm s When Negroes first came on the department i'1 1948 the year after Jenkins became chief they Jere forbidden to wear their unifor~ to or from work.

Since joining the department 15 years ago he has taken a supervisory course of 170 hours sponsored by the IACP and a Georgia Tech computer course, also under IACP auspices. The department is in the P:ocess of converting to electronic records-keepmg. Basis of Promotions Jenkins makes all promotions, however, on the basis of his men's past performance, giving some weight to results ~f _0:31 board examinations conducted by d1vis1on commanders. Men promoted to lieutenant or captain are on probation for a year_ before they are given civil service job protection. Ser geants and detectives have no such safeguards. They can be removed and demoted to patrolman again at any time. Since the men are under closer supervtsion there, practically all command officers come up through ·the detective bureau headed by Supt. Clinton Chafin. "Our Negro detectives' educational background, over-all, is probably be~ter ~an .~at of the white detectives," Chafin said. We have 15 Negro detectives now. "But because so many opportunities have opened up in the last few years that they haven't bad before, we're probably going to have -a hard time getting Negroes with such good educations from now on." Like J enkins Chafin doesn't think much of examination~ as a means of choosing men . . for supervisory positions. "A lot of times a man you think will make a good supervisor might not be the highest scorer on the exam," he said. '_'I'm dead set against examinations for detectives. "The two things we really try to watch for are a man ·s conduct and integrity, and his workload . Of course you have to ta~ into consideration educational factor s-his report-making ability and his ability to go into court and testify. "But we make no allowances. We treat all our people the same and expect as much from one as we do from the other." Attorney Disappointed Lack of a merit system is a source of disappointment to Richard C. Freeman, the liberal attorney who heads the Atlanta Board of Aldermen's Police Committee. "It embarrasses me for my city, for myself and for my Police Department when an officer who may be a damn good man and a good supervisor gets up before a television camera or a group of people to explain something and can hardly speak English," he said. "Our Negro officers by and large are ~s good or better than their coun~erp~ts , ID the white ranks " Freeman said. We ve been fortunate. We've got a couple of lieutenants I'd put up against anybody." . And Freeman said he favors puttmg more Negro commanders on the force. Pressing Need for It "It s not only helped the social situation but it's helped . the department," he said. " There's been a pressing need for it. B u t I'll say this. I'm absolutely, 100 per cent opposed to promoting any man just because he's black. He's got to be qualified." Freeman said low pay, the Jlazards of the job and the low esteem in which pol~cem1:n seem to be held have all put a crimp ID recruiting efforts. Work hours of Atlanta policemen have been dropped. from 48 to 40 a week in the ~ast four years, however, and r ecent pay raises will give beginning patrolmen $450 a year more than they used to get, although the pay is still low-$5,486 a year under the new schedule. . At the urging of the Police Committee a two-year course in police administration is being set up at Georgia State College in Atlanta.

I asked the superintendent of traffic why there weren't. Next time I drove through downtown I looked up and there they were. "I'm working now to get a captain. And as soon as I get a captain I'm going to try for a superintendent (equivalent to Denver's division chiefs). But I know you can't make all these changes at one time." Even though at one time there was a strong Klan influence in the Atlanta Police Departm~nt, Lieutenants Baugh ~~d Perry said they encountered little hostihty from white officers when they made their rank. "I think this/' Baugh said. "Where a w~te officer might not like me, he might not like a white supervisor for the same reason. I've never wofried, particularly, abo~t my men loving me, but I would and I contmue to hope that they respect me." All commanders in Atlanta act as counselors to men in the lower ranks . Of the 40 men on Baugh's counselor list, 34 are . wh~te. Perry has 30 whites out of 34 on his list. Both men's comm~mds are also predominantly white. " "Strangely enough/' said Perry, th~re was very little rese ntment among the whit~ officers. There was some, I guess, but 1t wasn't particularly noticeable ." Editor Coleman of the Wor ld, who as a police reporter had a ha~d in getting Negroes their present place m the Atlanta department, thinks the much-he:alded "Atlanta climate" in racial matters 1s exaggerated and tha t a lot remains to be done. But he adds : "Atlanta fo r Negroes, is a hell of a lot better tha~ any other place I've seen, I'll say that." �TH E D E N VER PO ST Tuesday, Ocl. 24, 1967 as~ Negro Strength Fade in Miami u as at used t - was set up in a little 30-by-50-foot building in the downtown Negro section. They had one or two patrol cars and about a dozen bicycles, which were used by the beat men who patrolled Liberty City. Besides the downtown and Liberty City Negro neighborhoods, Negro officers were permitted to patrol Cocoanut Grove, a third largely Negro section in south Miami. Then, when Headley became chief in August 1948, all Negro patrolmen with a year or more of experience were placed under civil service. With that the double standard came into being. Lieutenant Smith was the 34th Negro to join the department. He came on in 1950. Fortified with two years of college engineering study at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Va., Smith was one of the first two officers to pass the patrolman sergeant examination. He and three other Negroes failed their first lieutenant's exam in 1962. Two years lata- he placed 12th in a field of 125 whites and Negroes with a score of 90.5, six points off the leader 's, and finally got his bars in April of last year.

There also is a Negro policewoman, and the o n I y Negro in a class of 31 men who started police academy training Sept. 25 already had made cadet sergeant. Miami's police force was lily white until the wartime manpower shortage of 1944 coincided with an influx of Negro sailors assigned to 7th Naval District headquarters. It was largely through the work of Dr. Ira P . Davis, a Negro dental surgeon who then beaded half of the segregated civil defense effort in Dade County, that the department finally started hiring black policemen. Negro sailors looking for action poured into the central Negro neighborhoods downt o wn, and gambling, prostitution a n d muggings skyrocketed. The Navy tried to cope with the problem by assigning white shore patrolmen in jeeps to the area. It didn't work. Negro SPs Sought Davis finally persuaded Navy authorities they should put Negro SPs on foot beats in the neighborhood. "The moment they got in here a n d started working, all this stuff dropped to practically nothing," Dr. Davis, now 71, said. "They were the first Negro SPs in the Navy, and that was the very thing I needed to show it could be done and the impact it could have." Maj. Dan Rosenfeld, then Miami's city safety director, and Dr. Davis then discussed the possibility of putting on some Negro policemen. Rosenfeld agreed, but was afraid to let the public know about it until the men already were trained and ready to go to work. As a result, Davis said, five men were selected from among Davis' civil defense auxiliary police and were trained in secrecy a t the Liberty City housing project on the north side of town. They were sworn in on the street in front of Davis' dentistry office on Aug. 31, 1944. For several years the wartime policemen, Negro and white, had no civil service status because, Headley said, "They hired anything that could see lightning, hear thunder and hold up a uniform." Additional Re strictions There were additional restrictions on Negro officers. They couldn't wear their uniforms except during duty hours. A separate " precinct station"-the only one in Miami " With their family backgrounds, Negroes haven't been exposed to law enforcement as a career, like the Monahans and Rileys," he explained. "What I'm saying is, I'm the firs t generation. When I went to school there were no Negro policemen. "Their families think it's dangerous. It's a job no Negro has ever worked in before." Smith said he felt Negroes were failing their exams because they aren't used to having to think about academic subjects. " A Negro who decides to become a policeman makes the decision as a man," he said. "He's got out of high school at 18 or 19 and maybe he's wor ked in a warehouse moving crates back and forth for three or four years. "He's transferring from a job not related to police work. He hasn't been in a situation where he's been turning these things over in his mind. Ttterefore he fails the exam. "I think if we could get these guys to warm up before taking the exams we could enhance their chances of passing. I personally don't feel the exams are that hard." _ The same is true of Negro officers who fail the sergeant's exam , he said. Many of them wait until the exam notice is posted, four to six weeks before it's scheduled, and only then start to study. "It's not the idea that they're not qualified. It's that they're going into the examination cold. It's like a football team going out on the fie.Id without knowing its plays. They may look like football players but they're not mentally conditioned to play the game." Social Stigma Linked to Job Making Negroes want to be policemen is another factor, Chief Headley sai<;I. Negro children thr ew rocks at some of the early patrolmen, and they were looked down upon by some Negro adults. "Since we changed our standards the bus company here has integrated and has probably hired 400 of them as drivers," said Lt. Col. Paul M. Denham, assistant chief for operations. "A lot of these men are the type of men we'd like to have on the police department -well-educated, cleancut and courteous-but they'd rather go to work for the bus company than apply to our department, even though our salary scale is higher. Apparently there's a social stigma attached to being a policeman." There already has been one adult education class in Miami to help applicants pass the Civil Service entrance exams. A police lieutenant is assigned full time at the University of Miami to a "war on poverty" program aimed at getting more men pre- 3 re Iiminary training in police work, but if a man makes more than a specified low income level he can't take it. Another program is being launched at Miami-Dade J unior College, where officers already on the department can take policerelated courses with the department paying half the cost. In all of these programs the man himself has to want to do the work. " Of course since the civil rights movement got under way, a lot of Negro leaders want us to appoint them qualified or not," Chief Headley said. "But I don't go for that." Lieutenant Smith Ag rees Neither does L ieutenant Smith, who is second in command of a 60-man patrol shift and wbo wears an expert revolver badge because he studied books on shooting as well as putting in his r equired time on the pistol range. "I can see a dual system where under certain conditions they give field commissions, like in New York or in military service," he said. "But if a Negro cannot pass the civil ser vice examination, in an integrated society, I say no. The only way he should become a leader is to walk through the leadership doer . "If they want to help him, set up t h i s warmup program for him, fine, but don't cut the standard.8.-. We're trying to move forwar d. We're trying to prove our worth." Dr. Davis, one of Miami's most respected Negro leaders and the only Negro on President Johnson's Advisory Committee on Older Americans, expressed the same philosophy. "We had a hard time convincing some of our early officers that they had to take the patrolman's exam first before they could take the sergeant's exam," he said. "They wanted to be merely appointed to the rank like one Negro officer was in P alm Beach. "If you're demanding the same kind of treatment, then doggone it, you've got to make yourself understand you have to qualify. You got to measure up." " CHIEF WALTER E.

" I �4 TH E D E NV ER POST Tuesday, Oct. 24, 19~7 Negroes Feel Bias a Fact on Denver Force What chance does a Negro have for advancement and higher pay on the Denver Police Department? Depending on who says it, the answer to that question is either '·none at all" or " as much as anybody else." . . The department, and especially the C1_v1l Service Commission, have come under fire recently from Negro community leader s who say a Negro - because of his. race - ~as virtually no chance of becomm~ a pohce command officer. The deck 1s stacked against him. . History would seem to be on the side of the critics. It has been 20 years since the department began hiring Negroes in any quantity, a~d in all that time no policeman whose skm was black has ever advanced higher than . . patrolman or detective. Some of the men most vitally involved m the dispute tend to talk in absolutes, oversimplifying what is really a complex problem in a few carefully chosen sentences. Negroes Believe It's Fact Whether the racial discrimination charged by Denver Negro leaders actually exists has been open to argument, but the impo~tant fact remains that many Negroes genumely believe it is there. It was in the hope that something could · be done to change this belief that Mayor Tom Cw-rigan wrote the Civil Service Commission last August and asked it to reexamine its testing procedures. "The power to change things," said J ames F . Reynolds, director of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and a Negro himself, " lies in the other community where they really don't believe it exists." Civil rights leaders across the country have \ate\y turned a critica\ eye on police departments which don't have representative numbers of minority policemen within their ranks. Much of the impetus for this movement stemmed from the r-eport of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, which recommended that all departments recruit and train " a sufficient number of minority-group officers at all levels of activity and authority." 'Quota ' System From this beginning, apparently, came the "quota system" that many civil rights spokesmen and some police departments have adopted as gospel. If the1 e is X per cent Negro citizens in a community, there should be X per cent Negro policemen and X per cent Negro command officers. Other departments have resisted quotas as unwarranted intrusions on entrance and promotional systems that have worked with varying degrees of s uccess for years. "Frankly," said Detective Sgt. Paul Montoya, a member of Denver's largest minority, "I resent outside influences using statistics as a basis for careers. It destroys the minorities and causes hard feelings all around. It's none of their business." "Nobody gave me anything on this job," said Police Chief Harold Dill, a man who took two entrance examinations, three sergeant's exams and two for captain. "I had to work and scratch for everything I got." Viewed against the broad background of the civil rights movement and incidents of urban rioting, however, the scarcity of Negro policemen in Denver's or any other department takes on extra importance, Negro spokesmen say. 'Would Help in Tension' Police-minority relationships to rioting are of extreme importance," Reynolds said. "Take a look at your rioting about the country. In the majority of incidents this was the trigger, and I don't think it was an accident. " DETECTIV E CLAREN CE N ELSO N AND DETECTIVE SGT. PAUL MONTOYA OF DENVER DISCUSS AN INVESTIGATION Se rge ant Montoya, o n ly Denver office r quoted dire ctly in this article, said the local syste m is " not pre dicated on merit." " If we had more Negro officers in command and more Negro officers period, it would help in some of these tension spots right here in our own city," said the Rev. Cecil Howard, pastor of Shorter Community AME Chur ch and chair man of the East Denver Ministerial Alliance. " If a person of color were able to relate to Negro officers I think it would help immeasurably. But they don't have enough Negro officers for the younger Negroes to be able to relate to. They see faces that are hostile. " We don't feel the white power structure is really in sympathy with the need for more Ne~;ro oi-tken., the Rev . Mr. Hughes said. " They think the minority situation here is pretty stable. But we had two or three close calls last summer." Negro leaders feeJ there is discrimination against Negro officers in both the department and Civil Service procedures-perhaps not openly, maybe even not consciously. Their prime targets are tests used by the commission, its oral review boards and assignments that Negro officers get on the Police Department. Reynolds, City Councilman Elvin Caldwell and others have urged the commission to make a thorough study of its testing procedure to determine whether it is completely fai r to minority officers. Built-In Disadvantage "I wonder if the tests themselves don't have a built-in cultural disadvantage," Reynolds said. " W.e have found that many tests being used by employers - especially some of the older ones - serve the purpose of trapping and screening out minority applicants. "This wasn't done deliberately, but many of them were compiled by middle class college graduates, and many who don't fit into that category have a difficult time passing them . "I think, too, that the police department has traditionally limited the assignments given Negro policemen so that their experience as they approach the promotional exams is very limited." Several Denver policemen said, however, that although experience is some help the tests are weighted more on book knowledge than on practical police work. One officer whose name doesn't appear in this article said there are a few command officers who have made it all the way up the line with practically no experience on the street. "If you've got a desk job you can sit there and study on city time," he said. "Out on the street you can't. ' 1 Montoya, the only officer who agreed to be quoted by name, said the present testing system "stinks," but not of discrimination. " It's not predicated on merit, " he said. "and dammit, when you don't have a system based on merit it's worthless. The men deserve to be led by the best qualified and most deserving man, and the present system doesn't do it." He said he wasn't talking about any individuals but the system itself. As for the charges .of poor assignments for Negroes Montoya said, " If, you're a quality officer ,I defy anybody to shunt you off somewhere. The work is out there." Councilman Caldwell, who was complaining about Jack of Negro commanders in the department long before it became a part of the national civil rights picture, said the oral ·board reviews are one possible source of discrimination. Wants Minority. Person on Board "I think a minority member should sit on the oral board not only for purposes of promotion but hiring as well," be said. "to the best of my knowledge there hasn't ever been one, but it's been suggested previously. "One that I would recommend would be Chief J ames Byrd of Cheyenne, who is a highly respected individual and who would be completely objective in bis thinking." Byrd is a Negro. Caldwell said of p r i m a r y importance, though, is Negroes' belief that a " completely independent outside agency" should go over the present testing procedw·es in fine detail to weed out any possible areas of bias. Caldwell, Reynolds and the Rev. Mr. Howard said removal of any testing bias, broad: . ening assignments and providing a wider range of training opportunities would be the most logical ways to solve the problem. The Rev. Acen P hillips, vice chairman of the East Denver Ministerial Alliance, wants quicker action. He suggested " compensatory promotions" for Negro officers who have been "discriminated against for 50 years." The Rev. Mr. P hillips would have the department appoint a Negro division chief or captain- he didn't mention the lower ranks of lieutenant or sergeant- and have that man. given special on-the-job training for a period before he is given a command. He said he didn't think this would cause dissension among the other commanders on the department because "they know, down deep, that there has been this discrimination." Reynolds and the Rev. Mr. Howard said they couldn't agree. "While recognizing the validity of what Mr. P hillips s:;iid, I'm inclined to think that approach would detract from the man's selfrespect as well as his esteem among other members of the police force," Reynolds said. " I'm not sure that tearing down the system is a good idea." " I would prefer the training route," said the Rev. Mr . Howard. " Because whoever is in there ought to be capable and know what he's doing." . Paradoxically, if a strict quota system were applied in Denver it would be the city's · 67,750 Spanish-Americans who would have the most legitimate complaint as far as numbers are concerned. . 12. 9 Pct. of Population · They make up 12.9 per cent of Denver's estimated 525,000 citizens, and the 50,000 Negroes in Denver constitute about 9.5 per cent . There are 18 Spanish-American policemen, 2.15 per cent of all men on the force, and 23 Negroes, 2.75 per cent. But three Spanish-Americans have made rank. Besides Montoya, 42, they are Lt. Chr is Herrera, 51, and Sgt. Louis Lopez, 35. Lopez recently qualified for lieutenant. Of the 23 Negro officers now on the force, eight haven't been eligible for promotion because or time-in-grade requirements. Three of them weren't even on the force when the last examination for sergeant was given Nov. 28, 1964. The other five didn't have their required five years in grade as patrolmen. Five eligible men, including the two with the most education, the two with the highest intelJigence ratings and two with 17 years of service and an automatic 10-point seniority advantage, have never bothered to take an examination. That leaves 10 men who have tried for promotion and didn't make it. Nine of them took the sergeant's examination one or more times, and three have passed, but were too far down the list certified by the Civil Service Commission to have any" hope of getting their rank. Detective Vern Hudley, 54, of the J uvenile Bureau passed the 1960 examination but was 114th on a list of 134 men certified. Only 26 sergeants were appointed. Two Negroes passed the 1964 examination. They are Detective Clarence Nelson, 41, who wound up 70th on a list of 93 men certified, , and Patrolman- Carnell, Green, 39, who placed , 91st. 1'his time there were only 16 men promoted. Civil Service records show that no Negro has ever failed an oral board review. Even had they been graded on the basis of the written test alone, l-Iudley, Nelson and Green couldn't have won their promotions. Hudley tied with nine other men for 99th place on bis wr itten exam when only 26 men were promoted. Gr een tied with five other men for 62nd place, and Nelson was among (Continued on page 5) �TH E DEN V ER POST 5 Tuesday, Oct.24.1967 Dept.

All three men passed their oral board reie vs with scores in the middle to upper 70s. Nelson's final place on the list - largely becaw,e of his seniority points-was eight men above where he placed on the written examination . Hudley's fi nal position on the certified list vas 15 place below his written test ranking a nd Green tumbled 29 places. On the 1960 test which Hudley took, the written exam coum.ed for 60 per cent of the total score , the or al review was 25 per cent, efficiency r ating 5 per cent and seniority 10 per cent. On the 1964 exam. the oral board rating was r aised to 29 per cent of total scor e and efficiency rating shrank to 1 per cent. Veteran ·s preference points. if any, are added to a man·s score after the other four factors are computed. Green and Hudley had no veterans ' points, and 'elson had five . Of the six Negro officers who have failed the sergeant" s examination, three made one attempt apiece , two took it twice and one m an tried three times. The 10th officer in the group who has tried to make rank took only the police property custodian 's exam, failing it five years ago. Contrast Noted By contrast with the Negroes , all 10 Spanish-surnamed officers who have been e)jgible for promotion have tried to make it. Herrera , who has a high school education, failed the sergeant's exam twice before passing it fou1th down on the list in 1958. He passed his first lieutenant's examination 14th down and took a second one that moved him up to sixth place and won his promotion . Montoya placed 12th on his first sergeant's . examination in 1956 but has since failed the lie utenant's exam three times. He has fo ur years of college. Lopez placed 20th on the 1964 sergeant's exami.nati.on wi.th the help of five veterans' points. He came jn later with prooi oi a se.rvice-<:onnected disability that r esulted in his getting five more veterans' points and moving up to sixth place on the list. Two other Spanish-surnamed officer s have passed too low on the lists to get their stripes. They are Alexander Nieto J r. , 38, and Phil Villalovos, 39. Neqroes Have More Ed ucati on Taken as a group the Negro officers have slightly more education than the SpanishAmericans, but their average intelligence ratings are nearly eight points lower. This may reflect nothing more than the comparative quality of education the men have received. Chief Dill pointed out the department has . been trying to help qualified Negro officers get better assignments. He said there are more Negro detectives and technicians, comparatively, than there are among the white officers . There were no Negro detectives at all before Dill became chief. Detective and technician are appointive r anks in which a m an with fi ve years of service r eceives $768 a year more than a patr olman with the same length of service. Base pay for a sergeant is $9,096 a year , or $576 more than a detective or technician makes. 'Cred:t to De partment' "Our Negro policemen, I think, are a credit to the Police Depa rtment," Dill said. "They're just as good and just as intelligent as anyone else. And I'd say we have one of the best civil service systems in the country. The opportunities ar e here. There can't be any separate standards when you're handling a group of people . Either you qualify or you don't." Dill said he thought the problem would wo1k itself out in time, as more Negro officers come on the department and gain enough seniority to have an edge on their examinations. But Negro leaders say that until a ll suspicion of discrimination is r emoved, it's going to be difficult to recruit more Negroes. Negro policemen themselves seemed more than a little reluctant to discuss the problem. "Whatever Dill says is right," was all one of them would say. " There hasn't been any discrimination against me," another said. " I think if a Negro officer has the stuff he can get made (departmental slang for winning a promotion) just like anybody else." Another man. a veteran on the force , said he likes the job he's now in and is afra id that if he made sergeant he might get a less choice assignment.

" Those who have already given up perhaps will not. " And if they have given up, they probably wouldn 't make command officers anyway. To be a topnotch supervisor in anything, a person has to have the desire ." So far little has been done about the problem. Ted Bach, Civil Service Commission president, said the commission is willing to put qualified Negroes on its oral review boards.

MINORITY OFFICERS VA LUED HIGHLY Chicago Racial Out reaksC CHICA GO-It was a Sunday aiternoon \ate last July. Two Negro boys were playfully wrestling on the sidewalk in fro nt of Big Jim's Liquor and Food Store on Chicago's South Side. Suddenly one of them slipped and fell against the plate glass window. It cracked. Big J im Nicholaou, a white businessman in a predominantly Negro neighborhood , remonstrated the boys and - called the police to report the damage. Tbat was about all there was to it- almost. ' -'- '"\ . ,< ,_ • , Not Very Popu lar in Are a Big Jim wasn 't very popular in the neighborhood, and the rumor began to get around : He had taken one of the boys' bicycles to avenge the broken window. It may have been the rumor that brought Julius Woods, a 40-year-old transient , to Big Jim's place the following Tuesday morning. That's what the neighbo rhood liked to believe, anyway. He had gone to get the bicycle back. N'icholaou said Woods tried to rob him. Whatever the reason , Woods and Nicholaou quarreled in the alley behind the store. Big J im pulled a gun and killed Woods. This time the rumor was that Woods was the father of one of the boys and he was shot five times in the back as he tried to rega in possession of his son's bicycle. It was repeated as fact by an irresponsible radio station. Commander William B. Griffin of the Grand Crossing police district and Lt. Robert A. Wi!Jiams of the Chicago Police Department's Human Relations Section were in the office of the Chicago Da ily Defender when the crowds began building up. There was already talk of burning. Hurri e d Back to Ne ighborhood The two men hurried back to the neighborhood. It was in Griffin 's district. Gr iffin got on the phone immediately to contact the area's Negro youth gangs, starting with the SUPT. JAMES B. CONLISK JR. DEPUTY CHIEF· SAM NOLAN Sole fact o r: W ho's best man? "Our citizens don't wa it to find out Blackstone Rangers , worst of the lot. Their leaders promised him the gangs would stay out of it. Griffin knew the promises were good. He had dealt with the gangs before , and they understood each other. Williams , meanwhile, was rounding up more than 50 persons to fan out across the neighborhood and tell it straight: Nicholaou was being charged with murder. The man he shot didn't even know the boys . There was no bicycle. Big Jim's place had been closed on Mayor Dick Daley's orders pending a hearing to revoke his liquor license. C lose Watch Kept Men under Griffi n's command shut down the neighborhood liquor stores and taverns, and kept a close watch on gasoline stations. They spread the true word to shopkeepers and asked them to pass it along. Shopkeepers see a lot of other persons in the course of a day's business. Sgt. Neal Wilson spent a good part of his day on the street, but also managed to make 175 telephone calls countering the rumors. I " The crowds g~t unruly anyway. A hundred Task Force policemen had to be called in . Befo re that Tuesday night was over , 52 persons had been arrested . But there was no burning and no riot. Potentially explosive racial skirmishes aren't uncommon in Chicago, although the city weathered this past summer with none that developed into ful1-fledged riots like the two of the summer before .

Griffin and Williams both happen to be Negroes - officers of the kind that many Chicago police officials believe can do a better job in tense racial situations than white officers can. They have the "feel" of the ghettos. Chicago's Negro policemen are more numerous than in any other city in America. Department spokesmen estimate there are between 3,000 and 3,500 Negroes on the 10,967-member police force. A study by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law put the number at 2,940. Either way, Chicago ·s percentage of Negro policemen is second only to Baltimore's. Taking the lower figure of the Lawyers' Committee, the Negro contingent is 26.8 per cent of the department. Chicago's 812,637 Negro citizens make up only 22.9 per cent of the city's over-all population of 3,550,400. Included in the ranks of Negro policemen are 91 sergeants, 7 lieutenants and 5 captains. Four of the captains are district commanders. Most Decorated Officer or for the department is to investigate all incidents of bigotry or discrimination with-in the department and in its dealings with the public. No one pretends, however, that the department's full integration and its policy of fairness in promotions have solved all its problems. At the time Mosby was interviewed he had just written a story about an attractive Negro woman's complaint that several policemen-Negro and white-had staged an illegal gambling raid on her home, without a search warrant, and roughed her up. "I couldn't tell you a lie and say the Negro community is completely satisfied with the department," says Deputy Chief Nolan. "They're not. We're not perfect by a long shot. But we certainly try to do every damn thing we can. Nolan is a Negro, too. There are now two ways an officer can advance to high command positions in the Chicago department. Most of them do it the hard way-by competing against other officers on civil service examinations. Commander Sims made his civil service rank of captain by placing first on a list of 200 lieutenants who took the examination. He was the first Negro ever to top an exam list. The department's most decorated officer is a burglary detail detective, Howard SpoonSpecial Recognition er, 35.

James B. Conlisk Jr., who succeeded the retiring Wilson on the day Big Jim Nicholaou shot Julius Woods. As a result, "there are people in positions of command who have some idea of the problems in the Negro ghettoes," says Don Mosby, police reporter for the Daily Defender, the nation's biggest Negro daily newspaper. "If a Negro can go to a Negro captain and explain his difficulty, it creates, psychologically, a much better situation. A Negro officer is more acutely attuned to his problems. "I was raised here," Mosby adds. "I went through some of the bad years. It used to be if you were Negro with an Irish name and you got stopped by a cop, you would end up getting knocked on your butt. Things have changed." About 60 per cent of Chicago's two-man patrol cars carry one Negro officer and one white. There aren't enough Negro officers to complete the job. "Who an officer works with has nothing to do with how effectively he does his job," says Lieutenant Williams. "We have had here, to my knowledge, one instance where a white officer refused to work with a Negro on strictly those grounds- the man's color .

This is accomplished through constant contacts with neighborhood action groups, civil rights organizations, even outfits like the American Nazi party. Community services sergeants are assigned to all 20 police districts to maintain lines of communication with the public. Sergeant Wilson, the man who made the 175 telephone calls the day Julius Woods was shot, is one of them. Capt. Thomas P . Hayes, the department's community relations coordinator, runs a series of monthly workshops in each district at which the department goes looking for criticism. "We_ never went out seeking complaints before," Hayes says. "We don't condone brutality or discrimination·. When it's brought to our attention to take the proper action and report back to the complainant as quickly as possible." The department's Internal Investigations Division helps in these investigations, but it doesn't have the final say ever ·whether the police were right or wrong. An attorney reviews all its investigations and has the power to alter or overrule its findings. He seldom has to. "The policeman who might be responsible for an incident today i s not doing the department any damn good," says Nolan. "If he's covered up for the first time, he might touch off something next time that would involve the whole city." Spanish-Amer-icans Soug ht Richard Heffernan, the department's assistant personnel director, has been mor e concerned about r ecruiting Spanish-American and P uerto Rican officers lately tban be has Negroes. "We realized the problem with the Spanish before the Spanish came to us," he said. , " We surveyed the force and realized we didn't have as many as we should. We p robably had four Spanish-speaking sergeants with Spanish backgrounds." Courses were set up to teach more patrolmen on the force how to speak Spanish, and Heffernan got from the Civil Ser vice Commission the names of more ' than 100 a DETECTIVE HOWARD SPOONER, LEFT, MOST DECORATED OFFICER IN CHICAGO Here he receives Lambert Tree Gold Medal Award for exceptional b ra ve ry in ceremony three years ago.

The first class of 15 men graduated last Aug. 18. Thirteen passed the civil service examination. "There's still a problem, though," said Heffernan. " One man is definitely out because even though he could pass the test in English, he can't speak it well enough to be a policeman. Another was too short, and a third was just too far underweight. So there are three who aren't going to make it." Training Best Solution Heffernan said he feels training, both for entrance examinations and promotions, is the best way to get more minority group representation in police departments. "I realize some of the more militant Negroes would say, 'Forget the civil service. Give it to us'," Heffernan said. "But I don't believe at all in reducing our requirements. . "The criminal isn't getting any dumber. He's getting smarter every day. Further more, he said, reducing the requirements for some officers and not for others would only create resentment and internal strife in a police depar tment. Lieutenant Williams, who might fit Heffernan's definition of a militant Negro, said in his opinion th~ only attributes necessary for a good police officer are good health, judgment and the ability to reason.

San Francisco's l,lalO-man Police Department is one of e many in metropolitan centers that is in the throes of trying to develop a war able plan for riot control as a result of the growing militancy of the U.S. civil rights movement. Like manv others. it has been accused of police bruta.lity a t times and of dsicriminating against minorities at times. And it has the same personnel pr lems that aggravate th~ situatian elsewhere. It is short oi men. It has fe\ er 'egro officers than it would like to have and than the city's civil rights leaders would like to ha e. It has no ·egro officers in command positions. Critics 'who seek: simple solutio say it's no great problem lo r ecruit and promote m ore Negro policemen. But police administrators interviewed at the r ecent convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in Kansas City, Mo., said the opposite is true, especially in the larger cities. More 1 \i an E~ua\1 If a city bends" its civil service rules or fi nds a way to sidestep them for the benefit of minority group officers, it is declaring them more than equal. "The obligation is on the man himself," said P olice Chief Frank C. Ramon of Seattle, Wash. " Any man who is competent to pass the entrance examination can prepare himself to pass the promotional exams. But it requires diligence and continuity of ef- fort." There are fewer than 12 Negroes on Seattle's 1.001}-man force. One of them is a lieutenant. commanding the city jail staff, and another is a patrol division sergeant. "The whole design of civil service is to give each man an equal opportunity for advancement," Ramon said. "During his time in rank he can prepare for the promotional tests. " San Francisco has developed programs to Seeing this, he said, young Negro men opt to remain a black brother instead of going over to Whitey's side. Spec ial Classes Offered Good C ommanders? Special classes are offered at San Francisco Sta e C liege for any policeman who ants to take a promotional exam and who suspects he can't make the grade. " We encourage - in fact we insist to a degree - th.at the Negro officers take part in the program to gi e them an equal chance, Cahill said. But ou can't have special training for minorities alone. That's discrimination in reverse, and you cannot do it. You just can't do it." · So far only one 'egro patrolman in San Francisco bas qualified for promotion to ser- geant. 'Ib.e Bay City's recrui1ing drive was a failure on its first effort. "We put on a program jointly sponsored b · the department and the adult education division to enable minorities to take a course for entrance, Cahill said. ' 'We only got "J:l to sign up and about half of them were Negro. Dropouts lo ·ered t.he class to 5, and it as discontinued. «we advertise," he said. "We do everything possible to get Negroes to come into the department. But I would rather pay overtime lo the men in the department meeting the standards than lower the standards · to bring more men in. " Since our race riots we ha,e trouble recruiting anybody-not just Negroes." Do Ne gr o es make good commanders? Definitely yes, said Deputy Chief Richard Simon of Los Angeles. " Negro officers in our department are shown no favors and no restrictions " he said. " As a r esult they're proud of. their jobs. We find .that a Negro officer who passes our exam and enters the academy is as good as anybody else. He's just a person. Simon said he didn't know exactly how many Negroes are on the 5,200·man Los Angeles force, because the California F air . Employment P ractices Department _prohibits keeping statistics on r ace. But he said there are several hundred, including many in command positions. "Our promotional examinations are extremely competitive," he said, "particularly above lieutenant. A man has to study for months or years to pass. A Negro officer has to want to work that hard: Ours do." The department is completely integrated. Los Angeles, about 14 per cent Negro, has instituted a series of public meetings and presentations in schools to recr uit more Negro officers. Plans are being made to give entrance examinations, both written and physical, in every police station instead of one central location. Applicants will be able to take the exams in a day. Pay Not C ompetitive Revamping Training But one thing that police officials suspect, Ramon and Cahill included, is that men and women who are well educated and who would be able to pass rigid civH service exams simply don't want to work for policemen's pay. " Let's face it," said inspector Paul Lenz of the Los Angeles P olice Department. "There is the same demand for the welleducated Negro today as for the well-educated Caucasian. We 've got to start competing in the way of salaries for the educated man, be he Negro or white." Another possible reason for difficulty in recr uiting Negroes was suggested by Herman Johnson, a Negro and a member of the Kansas City, Mo., Human Relations Commission. "Negroes see no image in the _police department any more," he said. " The history has been, throughout the country, that the police departments are not the kindest and fairest organizations in their dealings with the people of the inner city areas." A white Kansas City, Kan. , government official who didn't want to be quoted directly expressed the view that Negroes who advance to the higher ranks in police work "lose touch" with the Negro community at large and are looked upon as members of the It also is revamping its training from a straight three months in the police academy to a 20-week course of alternate academy classes and field work- getting the rookies out on the streets with regular officers to see how it's done. • Lenz and Simon said the department hopes to make testing and training more available to applicants without lowering the department's standards. The only police official interviewed by The Denver Post who said he doesn't have trouble recruiting Negroes was Arthur Andrew Chojnacki of Hamtramck, Mich., a city of 40,000 that is enclosed on three sides by Detroit. Chojnacki, a policeman 27 years, said there has always been a substantial numb'er of Negro officers on his 84-man department. There are now 15, including a Negro lieutenant, who succeeded Chojnacki as head of the 16-man detective bureau, and two Negro sergeants. Chojnacki said he settled on the Negro lieutenant as detective chief after a trial period in which he rotated command monthly between the Negro and two white lieutenants. "The men accepted it very well," he said. "They take their orders. He's actually fair- white power structure. 2 Kansas Citys Have Negro KANSAS CITY, Mo.-In most respects Lt. Col. Clifford A. Warren and Maj. Boston Daniels are no different from career officers on metropolitan police departments elsewhere in the country. They don't want to be. But in some settings-Denver, for example -they would stand out for one reason alone. Both men are Negr'les with command responsibi,itiec;. Warren, tall and trim, is 56 years old but looks under 40. It's been 28 years since he entered the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department as a probationary patrolman. Heads Division in Department He now heads the department's Youth, Women's and Missing Persons Division and .is one of the top half-dozen police comtnandPrs on this side of the Kansas River. He also is the highest-ranking Negro polic&man in Missouri Daniels , 62, is the graying, heavyset detective chief of the Kansas City, Kan., Po- lice Department. Like Warren, he answers only to his chief. A policeman 22 year s, Daniels was the first Negro officer in Kansas to win his lieutenant's bars, the first to make captain and is now the state's only Negro major . Civil service in the two Kansas Citys, however, doesn't cover all ranks of policemen, so there is room for promotions to be made outside such narrow limits as examination scores. Chief Promote s in Kansas On the Kansas side, civil service competition applies only to men making their original applications for police work. All promotions are made by the chief, who first asks for recommendations from his three division commanders. There are civil service exams for the ra,nks of sergeant, lieutenant and captain in Kansas City, Mo., with the captain test added only recently. Majors and lieutenant colonels are appointed by the chief. • I e The different civil service r ules may be one reason for the different roles Negroes play in the two police departments. In Kansas there are 41 Negro· officers out of 223 men. A Negro captain and two Negro lieutenants work under Daniels in the detective division, and there are Negro sergeants in the auto theft and youth bureaus, also headed by Daniels. A Negro lieutenant and a Negro corporal work in the unifor m division, and a Negro sergeant is on the motorcycle squad. On the 1M issouri Side In Kansas City, Mo., however, there are only 50 Negro officers out of a cur rent departmental strength of 922. And there are no Negro supervisors in the ranks between Warren and the seven Negro sergeants . "Kansas City is a great token town," said Dr. Girard T. Bryant, a Negro educator appointed to the Kansas City (Mo. ) Board of Police Commissioners 3½ years ago by Missouri Gov. War ren Hearnes. "Cliff (Warren) is a very good officer- r 0 try to recruit more Ne o officers and to help them p.: - their promotional tests once they have progr~ through the patrol ra Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1967 7 ,., er than the white ones ar e- more understanding. To tell you the truth the men would rather work for him. " When the Detr oit rioters bore down on Hamtramck last July, Chojnacki said, " Our colored officers were just as anxious to get out there and stop it as the white ones were. " Chojn~cki and his men, using· what he called " P olish tanks" - big garbage compaction trucks-sealed off the six main thoroughfares into Hamtramck and in two places turned back crowds of rioters. $25,000 in Loot Recovered "We made 72 arrests the first night and recovered $25,000 in loot," he said. " Detroit loot. We didn't have a broken window in our city." Hamtramck is about 80 per cent P olishArnerican, and a substantial percentage of its remaining citizens ar e Negro. Chojnacki said his department hires any Negro who can pass the civil service exams and background check, and all promotions are based on civil service standards. St. Louis police officials have doubled the number of Negroes on their department in two years. There are now more than 300 out of an authorized str ength of 2,100 men. It was done by use of a cadet system, an ~ intense recr uiting ca mpaign in which Negro stars of the St. Louis Cardinals professional football team spoke at predominantly Negro high schools, and with the help of civil rights organizations. There also is an incentive program in which any officer who brings in a new recruit gets five extra vacation·days. "We've got a Negro captain who saved us all kinds of trouble this summer," said Edward L. Dowd, president of the St. Louis Board of P olice Commissioners. "He's got 250-275 officers under him, and I guess 200 of them are white. When he handles a situation there isn't the backlash there would be with a white commander." There are 4 Negro captains, 5 Negro lieu. tenants and about 35 Negro sergeants in St. Louis. In Force's Best Interest " It is in the depar tment's best interest to recognize a fair number of Negro officers with promotions," Dowd said. "We{ve done· it, and the men haven't resented it. As long as you pick a man for his capabilities, whether he's a white officer or a Negro officer, the men are willing to work for him." A training program was set up at the St. Louis police academy last year' to help potential r ecruits pass their entrance examinations. But there is no special training for promotions. The academy staff will outline a study program for anyone who wants to take a promotional exam, but "a man's got to study and do it on his own time," Dowd said. " li he wants to go to junior college we'll pay his tuition and arrange his work schedule. After that it's up to him." 0 a very fi ne man. But one Negro commander isn't enough. We've never had a captain or a lieutenant, and we don't have any Negro commanders over district stations." Although he was critical of the gap in Negro policemen, Dr. Bryant said it wasn't a simple matter to correct. Lieutenant's Exam a Barrier "The big stumbling block seems to be that they can't pass the lieutenant's exam," he said. "The men themselves realize their shortcomings. Two of them told me they just simply flunked the exams. One veteran sergeant didn't answer 22 questions, and he has a college degree." He said 7 of the 11 Negro detectives on the department also have college educations. Colonel Warren doesn't. He has only a high· school diploma. Warren's progression through the rank::was sporadic, and was helped along times by civil rights organizations. "I think the idea of making Cliff asf' Continued on page 8 tr- �8 THE DENVER PO S l Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1967 Men JUdged By Abilities Continued from page 7 to the chief was just one of those things where they put somebody in a position to satisfy some of the complaints," Dr. Bryant said. Aide to Three Chiefs LT. COL. CLIFFORD WARREN Top-ranked Negro in Missouri. Warren actually was assistant to three chiefs over seven years. He served under Bernard C. Brannon and the present chief, Clarence Kelley, plus Col. E. I. Hockaday, a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer who served as interim chief between Brannon's departure and Kelley's selection. Later, apparently in response to complaints by civil rights organizations, he was made night commander of operations with more than 450 men and women under his control. During this three years, Warren said, he "tried to determine the nature of some of the complaints and do something about them." Warren said the department's policies concerning Negroes have changed in the last few years. "We have undergone a complete reorganization in which Negro officers are assigned throughout the department," he said. "This was not in response to the complaints. Plans had been made prior to the complaints, but we were trying to put each man in a job where he could best serve. "We're making every effort to get away from the idea of a Negro officer or a white officer," he added. "We go on the man's ability. Many of our district commanders often don't know whether a man's Negro or white. He sends the men out, and if they happen to be partners they work together. " Asked whether he thought he had ever spent an unreasonable time in rank, Warren said, "Fr ankly, from the time I was a patrol officer up to becoming a sergeant of detectives, yes. It took me 16 years. Testing Stricter Now "But things are different now. If you make the top of the (promotion) list, that's it. We've had stricter testing procedures the last 15 years." Was his delay in making sergeant because of discrimination? "Actually, I don't know. Let's put it that way. After I did make sergeant I advanced through the ranks the same as white officers." Herman Johnson, a member of the city's H u m a n Relations Commission and vice president of the Missouri chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, had a different view of promotions. The department still "gets all military when you start pressing them about promotions for Negroes," he said. "They give you this hokum that they didn't pass the exam, or that they passed the exam but failed the oral, or that they've got demerits against their records." Negroes Apparently Stay Away MAJ. BOSTON DANIELS Chief of detectives. Both department and Negro spokesmen agree, however, that the over-all shortage of Negro policemen in Kansas City, Mo., is a recruiting problem more than anything else. Many Kansas City Negroes apparently don't want to be policemen. Current estimates by the City Planning Commission place Kansas City's population at about 585,500 in a metropolitan area of more than 1.3 mi1Iion. Johnson said about 102,000 citizens in the city proper are Negro, or about 17 to 18 per cent. The 50 Negro officers on the Police Department constitute 5.4 per cent. MOTORCYCLE POLICEMEN NATHANiEL VEAL (LEFT) AND RUSSELL LEASBURG Assignments for Negr9 officers in Miami indicate the doub le standard has ended. The department now is trying to do something about recruiting more Negroes. A Negro sergeant works full time at it in Negro neighborhoods, and cooperation is being sought from ·predominantly Negro churches and civil rights organizations. But Johnson said deep-seated resentment against the department is going to make it difficult. "The mere fact that you don't have open occupancy is a factor, " he said. "A Negro policeman generally can't move into a better neighborhood and live with his peers. He has to live with the thugs," Johnson said, referring to the crime rates in the ghettoes. Another factor, he said, is Negroes' traditional inability to make rank higher than sergeant. centages-it just worked out that way. "If we can find a good, qualified man, regardless of who it is, we're going to grab him," he said. " Our Negro officers do a real good job." IL But the Police and Fire Departments both had been segregated in recent years. "They sent Negro officers to poliae Negro parts of town," said Todd H. Pavela, executive director of the city's Commission on Human Relations. Most of our police brutality complaints, until two years , ago, were - against Negro officers. They were sort of a law unto themselves. " Boston (Major Daniels) got his reputa~ tion for his excellent police work in the Negro community. He was sort of the unofficial Negro chief of police." Pay Is 'Pretty Good' Increasingly Tolerant View "The police department salary may be mediocre for a white man but it's pretty good for a Negro," he said. "Auto assembly lines, post office work or teaching are about the only jobs with comparable pay. But if they don't advance beyond the lower ranks, they figure , 'Why bother?' " Capt. Clifford Holbert, the department's per·sonnel officer, said recruiters are concentrating now on trying to . hire recently discharged servicemen or graduates of police science courses at Kansas City's Metropolitan Junior College or Central Missouri State College at Warrensburg. Regular recruiting pitches a.re -made at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base outside Kansas City, Whiteman AFB at Knob Noster, Mo., and Ft. Leonard Wood n ea r, Waynesville, Mo. Missouri law requires that all Kansas City policemen be Missouri residents. But, says Dr. Bryant, " We have a hard time finding Negro recruits even when we go out of town." More recently the city has taken an increasingly tolerant racial view, partly because of the leadership of Mayor Joseph H. McDowell and partly as a r·esult of outside pressures. Four years ago the men in the two allNegro f i r e companies were assigned . throughout the department, and there are now a Negro district chief, 13 captains and a lieutenant in the Fire Department ranks. Negro and white police officers have been working side by side for two years, and a community relations unit was established about a year ago. Kansas City, Kan., Picture The Kansas City, Kan., population of about 180,000 also is between 17 and 18 per cent Negro, and the 41 Negro officers make up 18.4 per cent of the Police Department.

" The better-thinking Negro people in this town want good government, and it's being provided by the current administration," Major Daniels said. "The clergy and the Negro leaders feel we're on the r oad to progress." In the department itself, he said, "Right now we're riding all our district cars mixed. One Negr-o and one white officer. That's in all our heavy districts. "And it's workable. We try to give it everything we have. The boys are willing to work together, and they are." �THE DENVER POST REPORT ON THE TOPIC OF THE DAY Tuesday, October 24. 1967 WHY?

" She thought all hope bad been lost," he said. Baugh, now 43, and Perry, now 47, are Ne"ro patrol lieutenar.t.s on the Atlanta PoIiC: Department. Baugh ta~es _ a . certain pride in the fact that his district_~n~ludes the Georgia State Capitol, the bailiwick of segre :itionist Gov. Lester .Maddox . Their commanding officer is the m u c h respected. nationally known Chief Hubert T. Jenkins 60, a member of President Jo ~ ~ son 's National Advisory Committee on Civil Disorder s and a past president of the Int~rnational Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). . By his own admission, J enkins also is a former Ku Kl ux Klansman. Many Things Have Chang_ed But a lot of things have changed m Atlanta since the days when thousands of hooded Klansmen trooped up Stone Mountain 15 miles east of here to burn crosses and deal with the "1'1egro problem" with chains. rope and shotguns. No longer does a Georgia office seeker have to be a Klan member to be elected. "I'm a law enforcement officer," says Jenkins. "Regardless of what they say over at the State Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court decisions are the law of the land." So Atlanta the most progressive of all Southern citi~s. bas bad a fully integrated police department for three years. Three of the 875-man department's 96 Negroes are lieutenants. Two are sergeants. Baugh is expected to make captain within a month. It hasn't always been that way, of course. Until six years ago Negro policemen were forbidden to patrol white neighborhoods. If a white was involved in a crime in a Negro neighborhood , the policy was for the Negro policeman to "detain" him and summon white officers to make the arrest. If t h e suspect was taken to jail, he could be sure that even there he wouldn't have to " mix" with Negroes. Onlv three vears ago the Atlanta Police Department dis banded its old 6 p.m. watch -an all-Negro outfit that supplemented the three rei-iiar ( all white) patrol watchesand assigned Tegroes throughout its r anks. Other Negroes derided them as "the YMCA cops." · The change from a segregationist department to one in which a Negro can now hope to make captain was long and gradual, and although political and citizen pressures sometimes had to make up for bis own lack of enthusiasm, no one discounts the importance of Jenkins' personal leadership. George Coleman, managing editor of the Atlanta Daily World, a Negro newspaper with a circulation of 25,000, calls Jenkins "the best police chief there's ever been in Atlanta. "He's a good man," Coleman said. "He's a flexible man. He and the mayor (Ivan Allen Jr.) are men who are logical in their thinking and who are able to see the chang-ing times. And they both used to be ardent segregationists." Incident Recalled Coleman recalled an incident several years ago when a white policeman called a Negro college professor "boy." Jenkins called his men together and told them : "Look the terms 'nigger' and 'boy' are offensive 'to 40 per cent of our population. Let's not use them any more." "It wasn't an order, exactly;• Jenkins told a Post reporter. "I just explained to them that if they offend people, it's going to make their job harder and create a lot of tr ouble we wouldn't ordinarily have. "But it came out on the front page of the New York Times the next day." Jenkins said be has "always bad good support from the mayor and the leaders of this community. Call it the power structure or whatever-the people who pay most of the money to get things done. "This has never been a labor community," he said. "It's always been a white c?lIar community, a business and commercial community. And if you l:t::.ve street fights or disturbances they don't like it. It's bad for business.-not only Negro business but white business as well ." Demands Still Coming In "We haven't satisfied all the Negroes," he said. "They're always demandfog this, that and the other thing. But in the Police Department we're trying to deal with people. Not with black people or white people. With people. Their color isn't importanl" Baugh, Perry and the other Negro ?fficers in Atlanta who have won promotions have done it on the basis of work performance and conduct, not on competitive civil service examinations. But there is no reason to believe they wouldn't have made it had there been civil service. Perry has a bachelors degree in French and English from Atlanta's Morehouse College and was a junior high scho.ol teacher before joining the department 16 years ago. Baugh, a former Marine drill instru~tor and one of the first Negroes ever recrmted into that branch of service, attended the University of Hawaii during his ·hitch in service but didn't graduate. He later took a Restriction s o n Unifo rm s When Negroes first came on the department i'1 1948 the year after Jenkins became chief they Jere forbidden to wear their unifor~ to or from work.

Since joining the department 15 years ago he has taken a supervisory course of 170 hours sponsored by the IACP and a Georgia Tech computer course, also under IACP auspices. The department is in the P:ocess of converting to electronic records-keepmg. Basis of Promotions Jenkins makes all promotions, however, on the basis of his men's past performance, giving some weight to results ~f _0:31 board examinations conducted by d1vis1on commanders. Men promoted to lieutenant or captain are on probation for a year_ before they are given civil service job protection. Ser geants and detectives have no such safeguards. They can be removed and demoted to patrolman again at any time. Since the men are under closer supervtsion there, practically all command officers come up through ·the detective bureau headed by Supt. Clinton Chafin. "Our Negro detectives' educational background, over-all, is probably be~ter ~an .~at of the white detectives," Chafin said. We have 15 Negro detectives now. "But because so many opportunities have opened up in the last few years that they haven't bad before, we're probably going to have -a hard time getting Negroes with such good educations from now on." Like J enkins Chafin doesn't think much of examination~ as a means of choosing men . . for supervisory positions. "A lot of times a man you think will make a good supervisor might not be the highest scorer on the exam," he said. '_'I'm dead set against examinations for detectives. "The two things we really try to watch for are a man ·s conduct and integrity, and his workload . Of course you have to ta~ into consideration educational factor s-his report-making ability and his ability to go into court and testify. "But we make no allowances. We treat all our people the same and expect as much from one as we do from the other." Attorney Disappointed Lack of a merit system is a source of disappointment to Richard C. Freeman, the liberal attorney who heads the Atlanta Board of Aldermen's Police Committee. "It embarrasses me for my city, for myself and for my Police Department when an officer who may be a damn good man and a good supervisor gets up before a television camera or a group of people to explain something and can hardly speak English," he said. "Our Negro officers by and large are ~s good or better than their coun~erp~ts , ID the white ranks " Freeman said. We ve been fortunate. We've got a couple of lieutenants I'd put up against anybody." . And Freeman said he favors puttmg more Negro commanders on the force. Pressing Need for It "It s not only helped the social situation but it's helped . the department," he said. " There's been a pressing need for it. B u t I'll say this. I'm absolutely, 100 per cent opposed to promoting any man just because he's black. He's got to be qualified." Freeman said low pay, the Jlazards of the job and the low esteem in which pol~cem1:n seem to be held have all put a crimp ID recruiting efforts. Work hours of Atlanta policemen have been dropped. from 48 to 40 a week in the ~ast four years, however, and r ecent pay raises will give beginning patrolmen $450 a year more than they used to get, although the pay is still low-$5,486 a year under the new schedule. . At the urging of the Police Committee a two-year course in police administration is being set up at Georgia State College in Atlanta.

I asked the superintendent of traffic why there weren't. Next time I drove through downtown I looked up and there they were. "I'm working now to get a captain. And as soon as I get a captain I'm going to try for a superintendent (equivalent to Denver's division chiefs). But I know you can't make all these changes at one time." Even though at one time there was a strong Klan influence in the Atlanta Police Departm~nt, Lieutenants Baugh ~~d Perry said they encountered little hostihty from white officers when they made their rank. "I think this/' Baugh said. "Where a w~te officer might not like me, he might not like a white supervisor for the same reason. I've never wofried, particularly, abo~t my men loving me, but I would and I contmue to hope that they respect me." All commanders in Atlanta act as counselors to men in the lower ranks . Of the 40 men on Baugh's counselor list, 34 are . wh~te. Perry has 30 whites out of 34 on his list. Both men's comm~mds are also predominantly white. " "Strangely enough/' said Perry, th~re was very little rese ntment among the whit~ officers. There was some, I guess, but 1t wasn't particularly noticeable ." Editor Coleman of the Wor ld, who as a police reporter had a ha~d in getting Negroes their present place m the Atlanta department, thinks the much-he:alded "Atlanta climate" in racial matters 1s exaggerated and tha t a lot remains to be done. But he adds : "Atlanta fo r Negroes, is a hell of a lot better tha~ any other place I've seen, I'll say that." �TH E D E N VER PO ST Tuesday, Ocl. 24, 1967 as~ Negro Strength Fade in Miami u as at used t - was set up in a little 30-by-50-foot building in the downtown Negro section. They had one or two patrol cars and about a dozen bicycles, which were used by the beat men who patrolled Liberty City. Besides the downtown and Liberty City Negro neighborhoods, Negro officers were permitted to patrol Cocoanut Grove, a third largely Negro section in south Miami. Then, when Headley became chief in August 1948, all Negro patrolmen with a year or more of experience were placed under civil service. With that the double standard came into being. Lieutenant Smith was the 34th Negro to join the department. He came on in 1950. Fortified with two years of college engineering study at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Va., Smith was one of the first two officers to pass the patrolman sergeant examination. He and three other Negroes failed their first lieutenant's exam in 1962. Two years lata- he placed 12th in a field of 125 whites and Negroes with a score of 90.5, six points off the leader 's, and finally got his bars in April of last year.

There also is a Negro policewoman, and the o n I y Negro in a class of 31 men who started police academy training Sept. 25 already had made cadet sergeant. Miami's police force was lily white until the wartime manpower shortage of 1944 coincided with an influx of Negro sailors assigned to 7th Naval District headquarters. It was largely through the work of Dr. Ira P . Davis, a Negro dental surgeon who then beaded half of the segregated civil defense effort in Dade County, that the department finally started hiring black policemen. Negro sailors looking for action poured into the central Negro neighborhoods downt o wn, and gambling, prostitution a n d muggings skyrocketed. The Navy tried to cope with the problem by assigning white shore patrolmen in jeeps to the area. It didn't work. Negro SPs Sought Davis finally persuaded Navy authorities they should put Negro SPs on foot beats in the neighborhood. "The moment they got in here a n d started working, all this stuff dropped to practically nothing," Dr. Davis, now 71, said. "They were the first Negro SPs in the Navy, and that was the very thing I needed to show it could be done and the impact it could have." Maj. Dan Rosenfeld, then Miami's city safety director, and Dr. Davis then discussed the possibility of putting on some Negro policemen. Rosenfeld agreed, but was afraid to let the public know about it until the men already were trained and ready to go to work. As a result, Davis said, five men were selected from among Davis' civil defense auxiliary police and were trained in secrecy a t the Liberty City housing project on the north side of town. They were sworn in on the street in front of Davis' dentistry office on Aug. 31, 1944. For several years the wartime policemen, Negro and white, had no civil service status because, Headley said, "They hired anything that could see lightning, hear thunder and hold up a uniform." Additional Re strictions There were additional restrictions on Negro officers. They couldn't wear their uniforms except during duty hours. A separate " precinct station"-the only one in Miami " With their family backgrounds, Negroes haven't been exposed to law enforcement as a career, like the Monahans and Rileys," he explained. "What I'm saying is, I'm the firs t generation. When I went to school there were no Negro policemen. "Their families think it's dangerous. It's a job no Negro has ever worked in before." Smith said he felt Negroes were failing their exams because they aren't used to having to think about academic subjects. " A Negro who decides to become a policeman makes the decision as a man," he said. "He's got out of high school at 18 or 19 and maybe he's wor ked in a warehouse moving crates back and forth for three or four years. "He's transferring from a job not related to police work. He hasn't been in a situation where he's been turning these things over in his mind. Ttterefore he fails the exam. "I think if we could get these guys to warm up before taking the exams we could enhance their chances of passing. I personally don't feel the exams are that hard." _ The same is true of Negro officers who fail the sergeant's exam , he said. Many of them wait until the exam notice is posted, four to six weeks before it's scheduled, and only then start to study. "It's not the idea that they're not qualified. It's that they're going into the examination cold. It's like a football team going out on the fie.Id without knowing its plays. They may look like football players but they're not mentally conditioned to play the game." Social Stigma Linked to Job Making Negroes want to be policemen is another factor, Chief Headley sai<;I. Negro children thr ew rocks at some of the early patrolmen, and they were looked down upon by some Negro adults. "Since we changed our standards the bus company here has integrated and has probably hired 400 of them as drivers," said Lt. Col. Paul M. Denham, assistant chief for operations. "A lot of these men are the type of men we'd like to have on the police department -well-educated, cleancut and courteous-but they'd rather go to work for the bus company than apply to our department, even though our salary scale is higher. Apparently there's a social stigma attached to being a policeman." There already has been one adult education class in Miami to help applicants pass the Civil Service entrance exams. A police lieutenant is assigned full time at the University of Miami to a "war on poverty" program aimed at getting more men pre- 3 re Iiminary training in police work, but if a man makes more than a specified low income level he can't take it. Another program is being launched at Miami-Dade J unior College, where officers already on the department can take policerelated courses with the department paying half the cost. In all of these programs the man himself has to want to do the work. " Of course since the civil rights movement got under way, a lot of Negro leaders want us to appoint them qualified or not," Chief Headley said. "But I don't go for that." Lieutenant Smith Ag rees Neither does L ieutenant Smith, who is second in command of a 60-man patrol shift and wbo wears an expert revolver badge because he studied books on shooting as well as putting in his r equired time on the pistol range. "I can see a dual system where under certain conditions they give field commissions, like in New York or in military service," he said. "But if a Negro cannot pass the civil ser vice examination, in an integrated society, I say no. The only way he should become a leader is to walk through the leadership doer . "If they want to help him, set up t h i s warmup program for him, fine, but don't cut the standard.8.-. We're trying to move forwar d. We're trying to prove our worth." Dr. Davis, one of Miami's most respected Negro leaders and the only Negro on President Johnson's Advisory Committee on Older Americans, expressed the same philosophy. "We had a hard time convincing some of our early officers that they had to take the patrolman's exam first before they could take the sergeant's exam," he said. "They wanted to be merely appointed to the rank like one Negro officer was in P alm Beach. "If you're demanding the same kind of treatment, then doggone it, you've got to make yourself understand you have to qualify. You got to measure up." " CHIEF WALTER E.

" I �4 TH E D E NV ER POST Tuesday, Oct. 24, 19~7 Negroes Feel Bias a Fact on Denver Force What chance does a Negro have for advancement and higher pay on the Denver Police Department? Depending on who says it, the answer to that question is either '·none at all" or " as much as anybody else." . . The department, and especially the C1_v1l Service Commission, have come under fire recently from Negro community leader s who say a Negro - because of his. race - ~as virtually no chance of becomm~ a pohce command officer. The deck 1s stacked against him. . History would seem to be on the side of the critics. It has been 20 years since the department began hiring Negroes in any quantity, a~d in all that time no policeman whose skm was black has ever advanced higher than . . patrolman or detective. Some of the men most vitally involved m the dispute tend to talk in absolutes, oversimplifying what is really a complex problem in a few carefully chosen sentences. Negroes Believe It's Fact Whether the racial discrimination charged by Denver Negro leaders actually exists has been open to argument, but the impo~tant fact remains that many Negroes genumely believe it is there. It was in the hope that something could · be done to change this belief that Mayor Tom Cw-rigan wrote the Civil Service Commission last August and asked it to reexamine its testing procedures. "The power to change things," said J ames F . Reynolds, director of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and a Negro himself, " lies in the other community where they really don't believe it exists." Civil rights leaders across the country have \ate\y turned a critica\ eye on police departments which don't have representative numbers of minority policemen within their ranks. Much of the impetus for this movement stemmed from the r-eport of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, which recommended that all departments recruit and train " a sufficient number of minority-group officers at all levels of activity and authority." 'Quota ' System From this beginning, apparently, came the "quota system" that many civil rights spokesmen and some police departments have adopted as gospel. If the1 e is X per cent Negro citizens in a community, there should be X per cent Negro policemen and X per cent Negro command officers. Other departments have resisted quotas as unwarranted intrusions on entrance and promotional systems that have worked with varying degrees of s uccess for years. "Frankly," said Detective Sgt. Paul Montoya, a member of Denver's largest minority, "I resent outside influences using statistics as a basis for careers. It destroys the minorities and causes hard feelings all around. It's none of their business." "Nobody gave me anything on this job," said Police Chief Harold Dill, a man who took two entrance examinations, three sergeant's exams and two for captain. "I had to work and scratch for everything I got." Viewed against the broad background of the civil rights movement and incidents of urban rioting, however, the scarcity of Negro policemen in Denver's or any other department takes on extra importance, Negro spokesmen say. 'Would Help in Tension' Police-minority relationships to rioting are of extreme importance," Reynolds said. "Take a look at your rioting about the country. In the majority of incidents this was the trigger, and I don't think it was an accident. " DETECTIV E CLAREN CE N ELSO N AND DETECTIVE SGT. PAUL MONTOYA OF DENVER DISCUSS AN INVESTIGATION Se rge ant Montoya, o n ly Denver office r quoted dire ctly in this article, said the local syste m is " not pre dicated on merit." " If we had more Negro officers in command and more Negro officers period, it would help in some of these tension spots right here in our own city," said the Rev. Cecil Howard, pastor of Shorter Community AME Chur ch and chair man of the East Denver Ministerial Alliance. " If a person of color were able to relate to Negro officers I think it would help immeasurably. But they don't have enough Negro officers for the younger Negroes to be able to relate to. They see faces that are hostile. " We don't feel the white power structure is really in sympathy with the need for more Ne~;ro oi-tken., the Rev . Mr. Hughes said. " They think the minority situation here is pretty stable. But we had two or three close calls last summer." Negro leaders feeJ there is discrimination against Negro officers in both the department and Civil Service procedures-perhaps not openly, maybe even not consciously. Their prime targets are tests used by the commission, its oral review boards and assignments that Negro officers get on the Police Department. Reynolds, City Councilman Elvin Caldwell and others have urged the commission to make a thorough study of its testing procedure to determine whether it is completely fai r to minority officers. Built-In Disadvantage "I wonder if the tests themselves don't have a built-in cultural disadvantage," Reynolds said. " W.e have found that many tests being used by employers - especially some of the older ones - serve the purpose of trapping and screening out minority applicants. "This wasn't done deliberately, but many of them were compiled by middle class college graduates, and many who don't fit into that category have a difficult time passing them . "I think, too, that the police department has traditionally limited the assignments given Negro policemen so that their experience as they approach the promotional exams is very limited." Several Denver policemen said, however, that although experience is some help the tests are weighted more on book knowledge than on practical police work. One officer whose name doesn't appear in this article said there are a few command officers who have made it all the way up the line with practically no experience on the street. "If you've got a desk job you can sit there and study on city time," he said. "Out on the street you can't. ' 1 Montoya, the only officer who agreed to be quoted by name, said the present testing system "stinks," but not of discrimination. " It's not predicated on merit, " he said. "and dammit, when you don't have a system based on merit it's worthless. The men deserve to be led by the best qualified and most deserving man, and the present system doesn't do it." He said he wasn't talking about any individuals but the system itself. As for the charges .of poor assignments for Negroes Montoya said, " If, you're a quality officer ,I defy anybody to shunt you off somewhere. The work is out there." Councilman Caldwell, who was complaining about Jack of Negro commanders in the department long before it became a part of the national civil rights picture, said the oral ·board reviews are one possible source of discrimination. Wants Minority. Person on Board "I think a minority member should sit on the oral board not only for purposes of promotion but hiring as well," be said. "to the best of my knowledge there hasn't ever been one, but it's been suggested previously. "One that I would recommend would be Chief J ames Byrd of Cheyenne, who is a highly respected individual and who would be completely objective in bis thinking." Byrd is a Negro. Caldwell said of p r i m a r y importance, though, is Negroes' belief that a " completely independent outside agency" should go over the present testing procedw·es in fine detail to weed out any possible areas of bias. Caldwell, Reynolds and the Rev. Mr. Howard said removal of any testing bias, broad: . ening assignments and providing a wider range of training opportunities would be the most logical ways to solve the problem. The Rev. Acen P hillips, vice chairman of the East Denver Ministerial Alliance, wants quicker action. He suggested " compensatory promotions" for Negro officers who have been "discriminated against for 50 years." The Rev. Mr. P hillips would have the department appoint a Negro division chief or captain- he didn't mention the lower ranks of lieutenant or sergeant- and have that man. given special on-the-job training for a period before he is given a command. He said he didn't think this would cause dissension among the other commanders on the department because "they know, down deep, that there has been this discrimination." Reynolds and the Rev. Mr. Howard said they couldn't agree. "While recognizing the validity of what Mr. P hillips s:;iid, I'm inclined to think that approach would detract from the man's selfrespect as well as his esteem among other members of the police force," Reynolds said. " I'm not sure that tearing down the system is a good idea." " I would prefer the training route," said the Rev. Mr . Howard. " Because whoever is in there ought to be capable and know what he's doing." . Paradoxically, if a strict quota system were applied in Denver it would be the city's · 67,750 Spanish-Americans who would have the most legitimate complaint as far as numbers are concerned. . 12. 9 Pct. of Population · They make up 12.9 per cent of Denver's estimated 525,000 citizens, and the 50,000 Negroes in Denver constitute about 9.5 per cent . There are 18 Spanish-American policemen, 2.15 per cent of all men on the force, and 23 Negroes, 2.75 per cent. But three Spanish-Americans have made rank. Besides Montoya, 42, they are Lt. Chr is Herrera, 51, and Sgt. Louis Lopez, 35. Lopez recently qualified for lieutenant. Of the 23 Negro officers now on the force, eight haven't been eligible for promotion because or time-in-grade requirements. Three of them weren't even on the force when the last examination for sergeant was given Nov. 28, 1964. The other five didn't have their required five years in grade as patrolmen. Five eligible men, including the two with the most education, the two with the highest intelJigence ratings and two with 17 years of service and an automatic 10-point seniority advantage, have never bothered to take an examination. That leaves 10 men who have tried for promotion and didn't make it. Nine of them took the sergeant's examination one or more times, and three have passed, but were too far down the list certified by the Civil Service Commission to have any" hope of getting their rank. Detective Vern Hudley, 54, of the J uvenile Bureau passed the 1960 examination but was 114th on a list of 134 men certified. Only 26 sergeants were appointed. Two Negroes passed the 1964 examination. They are Detective Clarence Nelson, 41, who wound up 70th on a list of 93 men certified, , and Patrolman- Carnell, Green, 39, who placed , 91st. 1'his time there were only 16 men promoted. Civil Service records show that no Negro has ever failed an oral board review. Even had they been graded on the basis of the written test alone, l-Iudley, Nelson and Green couldn't have won their promotions. Hudley tied with nine other men for 99th place on bis wr itten exam when only 26 men were promoted. Gr een tied with five other men for 62nd place, and Nelson was among (Continued on page 5) �TH E DEN V ER POST 5 Tuesday, Oct.24.1967 Dept. Seeks Better Negro Assignm ents Continued from page 4) a group of even tied in 78th place when 16 men were promoted. All three men passed their oral board reie vs with scores in the middle to upper 70s. Nelson's final place on the list - largely becaw,e of his seniority points-was eight men above where he placed on the written examination . Hudley's fi nal position on the certified list vas 15 place below his written test ranking a nd Green tumbled 29 places. On the 1960 test which Hudley took, the written exam coum.ed for 60 per cent of the total score , the or al review was 25 per cent, efficiency r ating 5 per cent and seniority 10 per cent. On the 1964 exam. the oral board rating was r aised to 29 per cent of total scor e and efficiency rating shrank to 1 per cent. Veteran ·s preference points. if any, are added to a man·s score after the other four factors are computed. Green and Hudley had no veterans ' points, and 'elson had five . Of the six Negro officers who have failed the sergeant" s examination, three made one attempt apiece , two took it twice and one m an tried three times. The 10th officer in the group who has tried to make rank took only the police property custodian 's exam, failing it five years ago. Contrast Noted By contrast with the Negroes , all 10 Spanish-surnamed officers who have been e)jgible for promotion have tried to make it. Herrera , who has a high school education, failed the sergeant's exam twice before passing it fou1th down on the list in 1958. He passed his first lieutenant's examination 14th down and took a second one that moved him up to sixth place and won his promotion . Montoya placed 12th on his first sergeant's . examination in 1956 but has since failed the lie utenant's exam three times. He has fo ur years of college. Lopez placed 20th on the 1964 sergeant's exami.nati.on wi.th the help of five veterans' points. He came jn later with prooi oi a se.rvice-<:onnected disability that r esulted in his getting five more veterans' points and moving up to sixth place on the list. Two other Spanish-surnamed officer s have passed too low on the lists to get their stripes. They are Alexander Nieto J r. , 38, and Phil Villalovos, 39. Neqroes Have More Ed ucati on Taken as a group the Negro officers have slightly more education than the SpanishAmericans, but their average intelligence ratings are nearly eight points lower. This may reflect nothing more than the comparative quality of education the men have received. Chief Dill pointed out the department has . been trying to help qualified Negro officers get better assignments. He said there are more Negro detectives and technicians, comparatively, than there are among the white officers . There were no Negro detectives at all before Dill became chief. Detective and technician are appointive r anks in which a m an with fi ve years of service r eceives $768 a year more than a patr olman with the same length of service. Base pay for a sergeant is $9,096 a year , or $576 more than a detective or technician makes. 'Cred:t to De partment' "Our Negro policemen, I think, are a credit to the Police Depa rtment," Dill said. "They're just as good and just as intelligent as anyone else. And I'd say we have one of the best civil service systems in the country. The opportunities ar e here. There can't be any separate standards when you're handling a group of people . Either you qualify or you don't." Dill said he thought the problem would wo1k itself out in time, as more Negro officers come on the department and gain enough seniority to have an edge on their examinations. But Negro leaders say that until a ll suspicion of discrimination is r emoved, it's going to be difficult to recruit more Negroes. Negro policemen themselves seemed more than a little reluctant to discuss the problem. "Whatever Dill says is right," was all one of them would say. " There hasn't been any discrimination against me," another said. " I think if a Negro officer has the stuff he can get made (departmental slang for winning a promotion) just like anybody else." Another man. a veteran on the force , said he likes the job he's now in and is afra id that if he made sergeant he might get a less choice assignment. Ve t e ran of Force Speak~ Besides, he said, "when I go home after a day on the street rm tired. I want to r elax. Maybe cut the lawn. I don·t want to go sit behind a post and stud y the books for eight hours. "I do all right ," he said when asked if he felt he were ever a victim of discrimination. " Tlmse so-called leaders. I wonder sometimes . . . " Councilman Caldwell poin ted out, perhaps with justification, that a_ Negro policeman might tell a white reporter a different story tha n he would tell another Negro. "If the offi cers on the force think opportunities to advance are· TeaJly, truly open , some of the younger men will take advantage of it," Reynolds said. " Those who have already given up perhaps will not. " And if they have given up, they probably wouldn 't make command officers anyway. To be a topnotch supervisor in anything, a person has to have the desire ." So far little has been done about the problem. Ted Bach, Civil Service Commission president, said the commission is willing to put qualified Negroes on its oral review boards. Chief Byrd of Cheyenne is "a little too close to Denver" and will probably be ruled out on the chance he might know some of the · Denver officers, Bach sa id.

MINORITY OFFICERS VA LUED HIGHLY Chicago Racial Out reaksC CHICA GO-It was a Sunday aiternoon \ate last July. Two Negro boys were playfully wrestling on the sidewalk in fro nt of Big Jim's Liquor and Food Store on Chicago's South Side. Suddenly one of them slipped and fell against the plate glass window. It cracked. Big J im Nicholaou, a white businessman in a predominantly Negro neighborhood , remonstrated the boys and - called the police to report the damage. Tbat was about all there was to it- almost. ' -'- '"\ . ,< ,_ • , Not Very Popu lar in Are a Big Jim wasn 't very popular in the neighborhood, and the rumor began to get around : He had taken one of the boys' bicycles to avenge the broken window. It may have been the rumor that brought Julius Woods, a 40-year-old transient , to Big Jim's place the following Tuesday morning. That's what the neighbo rhood liked to believe, anyway. He had gone to get the bicycle back. N'icholaou said Woods tried to rob him. Whatever the reason , Woods and Nicholaou quarreled in the alley behind the store. Big J im pulled a gun and killed Woods. This time the rumor was that Woods was the father of one of the boys and he was shot five times in the back as he tried to rega in possession of his son's bicycle. It was repeated as fact by an irresponsible radio station. Commander William B. Griffin of the Grand Crossing police district and Lt. Robert A. Wi!Jiams of the Chicago Police Department's Human Relations Section were in the office of the Chicago Da ily Defender when the crowds began building up. There was already talk of burning. Hurri e d Back to Ne ighborhood The two men hurried back to the neighborhood. It was in Griffin 's district. Gr iffin got on the phone immediately to contact the area's Negro youth gangs, starting with the SUPT. JAMES B. CONLISK JR. DEPUTY CHIEF· SAM NOLAN Sole fact o r: W ho's best man? "Our citizens don't wa it to find out Blackstone Rangers , worst of the lot. Their leaders promised him the gangs would stay out of it. Griffin knew the promises were good. He had dealt with the gangs before , and they understood each other. Williams , meanwhile, was rounding up more than 50 persons to fan out across the neighborhood and tell it straight: Nicholaou was being charged with murder. The man he shot didn't even know the boys . There was no bicycle. Big Jim's place had been closed on Mayor Dick Daley's orders pending a hearing to revoke his liquor license. C lose Watch Kept Men under Griffi n's command shut down the neighborhood liquor stores and taverns, and kept a close watch on gasoline stations. They spread the true word to shopkeepers and asked them to pass it along. Shopkeepers see a lot of other persons in the course of a day's business. Sgt. Neal Wilson spent a good part of his day on the street, but also managed to make 175 telephone calls countering the rumors. I " The crowds g~t unruly anyway. A hundred Task Force policemen had to be called in . Befo re that Tuesday night was over , 52 persons had been arrested . But there was no burning and no riot. Potentially explosive racial skirmishes aren't uncommon in Chicago, although the city weathered this past summer with none that developed into ful1-fledged riots like the two of the summer before .

Box 565 Charlotte, North Carolina May 16, 1967 Chief of Police City of Atlanta Georgia Dear Sir: Over a year ago I was in Atlanta and was going south on Peachtree. When I came to I 85, I was in the right hand lane and made a right turn and had to wait to get back into the traffie lane on 185. T waited for traffic to clear so T could get on I 85 and was given a ticket for this. I wrote you about this and explained what happened. This morning again I was going south on Peachtree and made a special effort to get in the second lane to where TIT could turn to get on the Expressway and when I got to the Expressway, I turned off of Peachtree. <A Police Officer on a motor cycle pulled me over and said I had broken the law and gave me a citation for it. Honestly, I don't understand how to get on or off of Peachtree to the expres-way, because I have done both ways and have gotten a ticket for it both times. My thinking on it is this; I was using good horse sense judgement to keep traffic moving and stay out of trouble too, but I hate to be classified as not knowing how to drive, because I have been driving many, many years, and it seems I can't do anything right at Peachtree and IT 85. TI explained to the Officer what happened before and told him I thought he should have given me a warning ticket instead of giving me a ticket; however he didn't agree, so I am turning the ticket over to you and hope that you will take this ticket of the records because TI honestly do not feel that I should pay for doing something that IT had done the way it had to be done before. Tet me hear from you in regnrds to this. Very truly yours, Gog Udi!
