A MES SAGE F ROM THE MAYOR:
As we enter the last third of the nineteen s ixti e s , we find 'our s elves continually facing
rapid a nd fa r reaching ch a ng e s in the methods and proc e dures of law enforcement.
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.
Accordin gl y we are carrying on progra ms of exploration as we seek n e w and improved
tech niq ues i n o ur e nd eavor to attain and mainta in th e highest professional standards in l a w enforcement.
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 .
Again, the Atla nta Me trop o l , the l aw e nforce ment organiz a tion which no w co ve rs our fiv e
county metro a rea, is c o n_duc ti ng a searching study of crim e in our me tro a re a . Th e fe de ral gove rnme nt
is considering making a gra nt to assis t u s in this s tudy .
We also are studying th e feas ibi li ty of provi ding police officers with e quipm e nt th a t will
enable them to maintain cons ta nt c o mmunic a ti on. As th e s itu a tion no w s ta nd s, s c i entis ts ca n be
in constant touch with satellites million s of mile s di s ta nt but we lo s e touch with a polic e officer when
he goes a few yards away fro m h is c a r r a dio wi thin our city limits.
To make our c ommun i cations mo re e fficient , a thre e way ra dio fre quency s y s tem will be
installed this year. This will provide a sep a rate wave l e ngth for th e north s ide, the s outh s ide and
the detective division. It will take care of our n eeds for ma ny ye a rs to come .
Again, colleges here are carryin g o n a research prog ra m to d e termine if i t is a d visabl e to
conduct an accredited course in police t rai ni ng for l aw e n fo rce me nt offi c e rs.
To sum up, Atlanta's police departmen t is ev er mindful tha t we must n ever let up i n our
war on crime and it is always exerting its u tmost e ffo rts to make Atl a nta the mo s t c rime fr e e ci ty in
our land.

Ge ntl emen:
I submit here with the 87th Annual Report of the Atlanta Police Department for the year 1966.
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.
The morale, training and discipline in the de p a rtme nt continues on th e upward tre nd , and we wi s h to
aga in e xpre ss our de ep app re ciation to Mayor I van Alle n , Jr. , th e Atla nta Crime C ommiss ion , a nd th e Boa rd of
Alde rme n for the very fin e h e lp and assis ta n ce t he d epartm e nt h as recei ved in the y ear 1966.
