W. Harris Jr., T.lL. Smith, Ssberry Fields and Attorney Hollowell.
The meeting began with Rev. Boone requesting that the following be
looked intos

Atlanta and felt that he thought the officers should be more
diciplined and also felt that there was a lack of restraint on their
part. He stated if something was done about police brutality, no
riots would ensue,
Rev Ward made comments on this and raised a question of what would
be done if it was known that a group of officers had brutally beat
and threatened a person. The chief stated that if he found out of
such, the officer would be released from the force immediately.
Attorney Hollowell pointed out that only qualified men should be
appointed to serve on the police department. te wanted to know the
training and the qualifications of an officer, which he was told by

eotin't ride in the car together, The Chief stated he was not against

The Rev. M.L. King Sr. spoke at this time stating that he had
very seldom saw any Negro policemen riding a 3-wheel motorcycle.
He stated that the Negro people wanted to see tuis and would not
stop until they did.

Atlanta, Georgia 30308
Dear Doctor Fisher:
Thank you very much for your letter of June 28th.
The Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council determined that
during special events at the stadium, the curb ne should be
reserved for buses and taxis because of the large number of
people that these vehicles transport. The effectiveness of the
system depends on the enforcement of the regulations, and
the police department has the responsibility. The indications
are that the over-all results is very good, for the simple
reason that a larger number of people move into and out of
the Atlanta stadium area as quick, or quicker, than any
other stadium in the nation.
I am in sympathy with your problem, but I am sure
that you realize that for a system to work successfully, private
vehicles cannot be permitted to use the curb lane.
I have forwarded your letter on to Mr, Ed, Hughes,
the Director of the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council, with
a@ requeet that they take another look at this operation and
see if they have any further suggestions.
Sincerely yours,
HTJ:gp

Dear Chief Jenkins:
I have discussed your letter of June 27 regarding the Crime
Prevention Bureau need for six additional station wagons with
the Mayor and Mr. Landers as well as Vice President Humphrey's
office and the Community Relations Service in the Justice Depart-
ment.
Hope for financing these station wagons this year seems very
slim although the Community Relations Service is making an
attempt to locate available funds for this purpose.
Mayor Allen, Mr, Landers and I feel that since the summer is
almost two-thirds over and since the City is unable to provide
funding for such a project that we should concentrate on next
summer's program and try to utilize existing vehicles or
facilities wherever possible. It was suggested that maybe
the pickup trucks which you have could be used in a pinch.
It was also pointed out that many private groups are looking
for projects and the supply of station wagons for the Crime
Prevention Bureau during the summer period when school is
out might be a good project for certain groups around town.
I would like to suggest that we work on this angle for development
of our next summer program which we hope to get into immediately.

Sinc e the beginning of modern day local gove rnment, as we know it, th e
polic e powe r ha s be en the v e hicl e that e nforces the w i shes
of local officials.
The p olic e powe r i s a t w o ~e dge sword and when it is misuse d , it c ause s
local governments to fail to furnish th e service th at it wa s
d es i gne d t o furnish a ll o f its citi zens.

O riginally p olic e services we r e furnish ed b y volunteers and local citize ns
und e r th e supe rvi s io n of a J u s tic e of th e P eace.
This was known as th e "hue and cry 11 systerr1 th a t d epend e d u pon th e fr i ends

In 1829 Sir Robert Peal e org anized the Metropolitan London Police
D e p artment and l a id the foundation on what is based
all metropolitan police systern.s of the free w orld today.
(
This was the first tin.1. e that a local govermnent en1.ploye d a full tiine uniform
polic e forc e and accepte d all of the responsibility to
pre vent cri1ne and to arrest and prosecute all law
violators.
Thi s system provide d · for a division of uniform officers, or constab l es
as th ey were call e d at that ti1ne, to patrol and to furnish
a day watch and a night watch , also a plain cloth e s or
detective division;
The duti es and responsibilities of th e police has ch a n ge d very littl e sinc e
th a t time and are d e signed t o maint a in th e p eace and good
ord e r, to pr eve n t c rime , to prot e ct l ife and prop e rty, to

The A1ne rican cop that you see working his b eat today 3 gets his nickname
from the abbreviationof "Constable of Police ' 'c
This system has be e n ch ange d and expande d continuously by adding
specialized s e ction s , such as police training, traffic
control, fing erpr i nting , crime l ab or ator ies, community
relations , cri1ne comn,issions and n,any othe rs.
The great est deterent to crime and the 1nost effective crime p revention
program re1nains the Night Watch and the Day Watch
by qualifie d unifor m police officers.
The mos t important funct i o n of a police d epar tment to successfully 1ne e t

The Atlanta Polic e Departme nt h a s not b ee n up to full authoriz e d strength

When a police offic e r needs to call for assistance, he has twice the
numb er of u n it s to call on, and h e can get n1.ore help
quic ker th a n h e could otherwise.

It is good sound polic e 1na.nage1nent that requires an officer to do his
f.

d evelop a hi g h e r d egree of performance

For the Atlanta Polic e D e parhnent to arbitrarily adopt the h v o-m an
patrol, would cause the nUJnb e r of patrol unit s and th e
police service to b e cut ·. 1 h a lf, or it v-rnuld require a ll
police p e r sonne 1 to w ork seven d ays p er week, in stead
of five days.

There is no corrunon cause for crime , the refore there is no con~mon cure,
but a con1bination of 1nany things.
The records will show that n~ost crim.e s are com1nitte d by repeaters,
(
persons who hav e already been tried and convicted
of a similar crime.
They have escap e d or they are out on bond, or the y are on probation or
parole.
I had an opportunity r e c e ntly to t e sti fy befor e a Cbngr e ssional Committe e
that was holdin g h earing s on "The Safe Str eet and

If your departnlent meets all the p r ofessional standards in police
recruibne nt~ police pay, poli~e tr a ining, and
polic e supervision, the F ederal Governnlent w ill
contribute a p e rcentag e of your annual budget .. -
it should b e about 50%.
The . greatest obj e ctions to this is the fear of c entral or fed eral control.
I was aske d reeently in Washington if I was adv ocating a national police

Well, I am not a d vocating a national police forc e, but th e thought of it

To cornpletely inv e sti gat e a cas e and d etermine all of the facts prior to

THE POLICE CHALLENGES AND CHANGES IN ATLANTA
by
H, T. Jenkins
Since the beginning of modern day local government, as we know it, the
police power has been the vehicle that enforces the wishes
of local officials,
The police power is a two-edge sword and when it is misused, it causes
local governments to fail to furnish the service that it was
designed to furnish all of its citizens,
Originally police services were furnished by volunteers and local citizens
under the supervision of a Justice of the Peace.
This was known as the "hue and cry" system that depended upon the friends
and relatives of the victims of crime, to apprehend and
prosecute the perpetrators,
In 1829 Sir Robert Peale organized the Metropolitan London Police
Department and laid the foundation on what is based
all metropolitan police systems of the free world today,
This was the first time that a local government employed a full time uniform
police force and accepted all of the responsibility to
prevent crime and to arrest and prosecute all law
violators,
This system provided for a division of uniform officers, or constables
as they were called at that time, to patrol and to furnish
a day watch and a night watch, also a plain clothes or
detective division,’ '
The duties and responsibilities of the police has changed very little since
that time and are designed to maintain the peace and good
order, to prevent crime, to protect life and property, to
. enforce the law and to guarantee the freedom of the individual,
The American cop that you see working his beat today, gets his nickname
from the abbreviationof 'Constable of Police".
This system has been changed and expanded SBE MoU ety by adding
specialized sections, such as police training, traffic
control, fingerprinting, crime laboratories, community
relations, crime commissions and many others,
The greatest deterent to crime and the most effective crime prevention
program coma ine the Night Watch and the Day Watch
by qualified uniform police officers,
The most important function of a police department to successfully meet
changing conditions today, are police recruitment and
‘ ‘
police training,
Theodore Roosevelt recognized this in 1895 when he was Police Commilastenes
of New York City and organized the first police academy,
or the first police training program for a local city police
department, :
ev
The police department that has been most successful in.meeting the
challenge of today, are those departments that have the
best training program, and arc best prepared to meet
changing conditions from day to day.
The Atlanta Police Department has not been up to full authorized strength
for many years, for the simple reason that a young man,
who is qualified to meet the high standards of the police
fe
department is not willing to subject himself to the dangers _
and the hazards of the job, or subjecting himself and his
family constantly to investigations, ridicule and criticism,
He can earn a better living for he and his family and enjoy a better and
f
To fill these
more pleasant life by following some other vocation,
vacancies and to provide the necessary coverage and patrol, the
Atlanta Police Department has adopted one-man patrol cars,
This is a highly controversial subject and has brought great criticism to
the chief of police,
This is a subject that is quite often misunderstood and often eeelogey
controlled,
When a police officer is injured or killed in line of duty, it gets lots of
publicity and there are those who sincerely believe the
incident would have hea prevented by twoeman patrol
cars, but the facts do not support this belief,
We adopted the one-man patrol cars for the following reasons:
1, The records, both locally and nationally, will show that more police
officers are killed in two-man patrol cars than in one-man
patrol cars,
2. Amajority of the calls answered by the police, do not require any action
by the police, only require counciling and giving of advice,
« 6-=
3, When a police officer needs to call for assistance, he has twice the
number of units to call on, and he can get more help
quicker than he could epoT ae
4, It is good sound police management that requires an officer to do his
own thinking, to use his iniative and imagination, and to
develop a higher degree of performance,
5, For the Atlanta Police Department to arbitrarily adopt the two-man
patrol, would cause the number of patrol units and the
police service to be cut ~1 half, or it would require all
police personnel to work seven days per week, instead
of five days,
To overcome these and other handicaps, the city is soraetee! striving
to increase police compensation and fringe benefits,
which make police services extremely expensive for the
taxpayer,
This requires complete cooperation and understanding between the business
community and the city officials,
The needs and increased demands for additional city services has confronted
our city with a large financial problem,
This is complicated by the refusal of the state government to allow the city
to broaden its tax base,
The main source of income for the city is from ad valorem taxes,
It is believed by most tax experts that real estate and personal property
is already being taxed to its limit,
A recent survey by the National League of Cities predicted that American
cities will experience a revenue deficiency of 262 billion
'
dollars in the next ten years,
Crime against property and crime against the person continues to increase
year by year, while the protection of life and property becomes
more complicated and expensive,
There is no common cause for crime, therefore there is no common cure,
but a combination of many things,
The records will show that most crimes are committed by repeaters,
persons who have already been tried and convicted
of a similar crime,
They have escaped or they are out on bond, or they are on probation or
parole,
I had an opportunity recently to testify before a Cbngressional Committee
that was holding hearings on ''The Safe Street and
Crime Control Act",
The City of Atlanta supported this act 100%, but I went even further,
'
I looked forward to the day when the U. S. Justice Department and the
U. S. Congress will say to every city police department,
regardless of its size -
If your department meets all the professional gendeo ds in police
recruitment, police pay, police training, and
police supervision, the Federal Government will
contribute a percentage of your annual budget --
it should be about 50%.
The greatest objections to this is the fear of central or federal control,
I was asked reeently in Washington if I was advocating a national police
force,
Well, I am not advocating a national police force, but the thought of it
does not frighten me ‘any more,
The Atlanta Police Department devotes most of its time and effort in
enforcing state and federal laws, rather than city
ordinances,
To enforce federal laws, it is necessary to accept a certain amount of
federal control and to follow federal procedures,
- 10 -
We have no choice in these matters now, and personally.I have no
objections,
The time has come when the best efforts and ae of the federal,
state and local government are required to meet the
high cost of law enforcement and to check and reverse
the trend of increasing crime that we have been
experiencing in recent years.
We read and hear a lot of criticism directed to the courts, especially to
the U, S. Supreme Court,
I am not one of those who join in this criticism,
Personally I have no criticism of the courts or any of their decisions,
for the simple reason that the objectives and the ultimate
goals of the courts, and the police, are identical ~-
which is -
» ll =
To maintain the peace and good order -«
To prevent crime --
To protect life and property --
To enforce the lawe-
And, to guarantee the freedom of the individual,
This we can all agree on,
Then, the only disagreement between the courts and the police are ~-
how we achieve these goals,
When the courts and the police disagree, this is an indication to me, that
the police are in error and must change their actions
accordingly.
It is not, however, possible to furnish 100% security and 100% freedom
to all citizens of this nation at the same time,
Judge Thurgood Marshall recently replied to a 'question from Senator John
‘McClellan that the crime rate in this nation was critical,
but it must be fought within the framework of the
Constitution, and it must not be reduced at the
expense of the freedom of the individual,
It appears to me that the courts in some cases might have given freedom
of the individual regardless of his conduct, top Salona
over all other rights and considerations,
I would respectfully suggest that we might take another look at this
proposition,
The cases that are most frequently discussed are -
The Mallory case
The Escobedo case
The Mapp case
and, the Miranda case,
There have been many documents and articles written on these cases
and a great many speeches made, both pro and con,
but friefly this is what happened in these cases,
a ,

MALLORY VERSUS UNITED STATES
Mallory was arrested in Washington, D.C. on April 7, 1954,
He was detained in Washington jail and charged with rape,
After considerable questioning, he admitted the charge,
He was later tried and convicted,
In 1957, the U. S.Supreme Court reversed the conviction and stated that
"A suspect must be taken before a Magistrate without
delay.
"Any unnecessary delay will invalidate a confession obtained from the
accused person prior. to his appearance before a
Magistrate," : '
ESCOBEDO VERSUS ILLINOIS
Escobedo was arrested in Chicago, Illinois, on January 19, 1960, and
was charged with murder,

He asked for an attorney and his attorney asked to see hink
Both were denied,
Later he confessed and was tried and convicted,
In 1964, the U. S. Supreme Court reversed the conviction and stated
"A person has a right to an attorney and the right to
remain silent,"
MAPP VERSUS OHIO
Mrs, Mapp was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 23, 1957, after
officers forced their way into her home without a
warrant, and found obscene material,
The officers denied her attorney exited during the search, nor would
they permit Mrs. Mapp to see him,
She was later tried and convicted,
~ 15.4
In 1961, the U. S.Supreme Court reversed the conviction and stated
that evidence cannot be used in any court if collected
in a search and seizure that is unreasonable or illegal,
MIRANDA VERSUS ARIZONA
Miranda was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, on March 3, 1963,
He was detained in the Phoenix jail and charged with kidnapping and rape,
After considerable questioning, he admitted the charge,
He was tried and convicted,
In 1966, the U. S, Supreme Court reversed the conviction on the grounds
that he was not advised of his right to counsel, and the
right to remain silent,
I cannot agree that these cases have legally handicapped the police in any way.
But, I believe we can agree that the changes that these cases required
in police procedure has made police work more complicated
and much more expensive, because they put severe restrictions
ti
on custodial interrogation.
wo 6: =
To completely investigate a case and determine all of the facts prior to
the arrest of the suspect, requires more investigators
and a great deal more time and effort, but this is legal
and necessary to protect the rights of the individual,
and in these cases the perpetrator is the individual,
The question that disturbs me, and has not been answered up to this point,
is, "what about the rights of the victim?"
They also are entitled to protection under the law,
It is very easy to forget a victim after the first "splash!" of publicity, and
after the perpetrator has been identified and taken into
custody.
All of these are routine police problems that address themselves to good
police management,
ra | ;

The greatest challenge that has faced a city or a police department
especially in the South, has been the social and racial
revolution that we have experienced in the last twenty years..oce
where custom and tradition versus the law, and in most
cases where the federal law and the state law were in
conflict or contradicted each other,
For many years the American Negro was segregated and discriminated
against because of the color of his skin, and kept in
a position of secondary citizenship,
Segregation was never designed to separate the races, but to keep the Negro
in his inferior place;
’ It was written in the law, and it was the law,
During these years the principle function of the police was to keep the
Negro in his place,
= 18 -
The President of the United States, the Mayor of the City of Atlanta, Ralph
McGill, Editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and many
others said this was wrong and must be changed,
The U. S,Supreme Court held in many cases that this was unconstitutional
and the American Negro was entitled to all the rights and
privileges that goes with first class citizenship.
In 1945 the courts gave the Negroes the ballot,
This was the first time that the American Negro could actually participate
in the management of his government,
In 1954 the courts held segregated schools to be unlawful and unconstitutional,
Perhaps these two decisions effected more people, brought about a greater
change in attitude, habits, customs and action, than any
other decisions,
Between the years of 1958 and 1963 the City of Atlanta received court
‘ orders to desegregate -«

Dear Madam:
Your letter of June 28, 1967, addressed to the President of
the George Chandler Harris Memorial Association, 1050 Gordon
Street, &. W., Atlanta, Georgia, has been handed to me for
reply.
In answer to the first paragraph, please be advised that the
Joel Chandier Harris Memorial Association has no intention
of changing its present admission policies, since, in the
opinion of its Executive Board, itiis not presently equipped
with staff or personnel to handie any other additional traffic
on the premises.
Please also be advised that the Joel Chandler Harris Memorial
Association is composed of dedicated women who maintain this
memorial to Joel Chandler Harris as a purely private enterprise.
The Association accepts no contributions for its support and
maintenance from any public funds -- either Federal, State or
Municipal, and reserves the right to determine its own policy
with reference to visitors,
We note with interest your improper designation of our Asso-
ciation as the GEORGE Chandler Harris Memorial Association.
Respectfully yours,
i frac, Vi Pahth

Dear Mr. Mayor:
I enclose herewith a copy of a letter that I have written
on behalf of the Executive Board of the Joel Chandler
Harris Memorial Association to Eliza K. Paschall.
One of the salient reasons for the enclosed reply to the
letter of Mrs. Paschall has been the receipt of threats
by several members of the staff at the Wren's Nest that
it would be stoned or burned unless its visitation policies were changed. I think it rather disgraceful that
these dedicated ladies, who are attempting to maintain a
memorial to one of the South's outstanding literary figures,
should be subjected to such threats and abuse.
Acts and conduct of this kind and character do more to
promote friction between the races in Southwest Atlanta
than can be counteracted by various organizations that
are attempting to peacefully integrate the area.
On behalf of these good ladies, I call on you, as Mayor of
the City of Atlanta, for such police protection as may be
necessary to maintain the dignity of their person and
property. I am taking the liberty of sending a copy of
this letter to Honorable Herbert Jenkins, Chief of Police.
Kindest personal regards.

Dear Mrs. Moses:
Attached are some references which I would appreciate
your sharing with Mayor Alien and Chief Jenkins in support
of our telephone conversation of the other day.
As I pointed out on the phone, Chief Jenkins would quite
likely not remember me, although I have had the privilege
of chatting briefly with him on two occasions--once in the
mid-fifties when the NAACP was meeting in Atlanta and again
on the occasion of the Martin Luther King, Jr., testimonial
at the Dinkler a coupie of years ago. I have had the good
fortune of a more intimate contact with Mayor Alien due to
his and my association in the activities of the 100% Wrong
Club.
Possibly the people in Atlanta who know me best are Mr. £.
D. Sledge, retired Vice President and Director of Advertising,
The Coca-Cola Company, with whom I worked for more than
fifteen years, and Mr. Boisfeuillet Jones, head of the
Woodruff Foundation. Mr. Jones and I were associated for
a@ number of years in the program of the National Youth
Administration, which I joined in 1939, immediately following
my graduation from Morehouse College.
As will be seen from the attached, most of my experience has
been in the areas of race relations and communications. I
feel that I know the trouble-spot centers of the Nation extreme~
ly well, having been in and out of them possibly hundreds of

Dear Chief:~e &re receiving from merchants in the
downtown shopping area co~plaints about the everincre sing activities of criminals, both inside and
outside the stores .
'ome of these merchants have
told us they feel that the presence of uniformed
police patrolling these areas would act as a deterrent in the a~ivities of shoplifters, flimflam
artists, till tappers, etc .
At a mooting of our Executive Committee
on yesterday we ··ere requested to write you to ask
if it would be possible to put some uniformed men
on p trol in the downtown shopping areas .
Our Committee feels this would be most
helpful against the continued advance of law
violator, and any assistenoe your Dep rtment can
render long this line will be o t appreci ted by
our m mbers.

Hon, Herbert T. Jenkins,
Chief of Police,
Atlanta, Georgia,
Dear Chief:-
We ere receiving from merchants in the
downtown shopping area complaints about the evere
incressing activities of criminals, both inside and
outside the stores. Some of these merchants have
told us they feel that the presence of uniformed
police patrolling these areas would act as a deter-
rent in the agtivities of shoplifters, flim flam
artiste, till tappers, etc.
At a moeting of our Executive Committee
on yesterday we were requested to write you to ask
if it would be possible to put some uniformed men
on patrol in the downtown shopping areas.
Our Committee feels this would be most
helpful against the continued advance of law
violators, and any assistence your Department can ’
render along this line will be most appreciated by
our members,
Cordially yours,
ATLANTA RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
H. Eston Reagan, Executive Vice-President.
