modore Tucker held the position, he replied

have dreamed of attempting to hold it for so

TO THE CITIZENS OF NORFOLK,
MAYORS OFFICE,

July g., 1866.
Fellow CITIZENS -
l am about to appeal to you for your assistance
in carrying into effect measure which regard
to be of very considerable Importance to this
community. | desire to uniform the police force
of this city, and in the present condition of the
Treasury, prefer to raise the sum necessary for
this purpose by popular subscription, rather than
to ask for an appropriation, and incur the delay
necessarily attendant on measure involving the
disbursement of money by the City government.
regard uniformed police as infinitely more
efficient than one without some conspicuous dis
tncton from other classes of the community, for
many excellent reasons, one or two of which |
will here assign,
The objects of every police system are first to
prevent the commission of offences against the
law has been violated Obviously the first is
most to be desired. And, it is clear to my mind
that officers who are at once recognized as such,
must have weight in preventing the commission
OF offences which cannot belong to those who are
not thus distinguished. They known at a
glance; they inspire the dangerous classes with
more respect and disturbers of the peace
are more completely held in check by this
means. Nor is this all; the ease and certainty
with which uniformed officers are identified, in
spre them with wholesome sense of individual
responsibility, and their zeal and activity are
thereby greatly increased.
These are but two of the many reasons which
could be adduced in support of my plan to give
Tue Poiice Vi sHs Guy, cnedp puI cohspicaousiy
marked uniform But the advantages so
plain, that need not state them more fully here.
1t is sufficient to remark that the experience of
all large towns, shows the Justice of my conclu-
sions. 1t is my determined purpose to use every
means at my command to prevent the commission
of all offences, and to preserve the public order
within my jurisdictions; and looking upon uni
formed police as an important means to the at
tainment of this end, l appeal to you for your
aid in guarding your interests.
The Councils have literally voted to arm the
police, and l trust, with your cooperation, ulti-
mately to make offences against the law as rare,
as they have hitherto been frequent In at
tempting this am aware that / assume no light
responsibility; but it it is in your interests that
act and feel confident of your generous and in
teigent support in carrying into effect the
measure which | have herein submitted for
your approval.
