A CARD.
TO THE CITIZENS OF NORFOLK,
MAYORS OFFICE, |
July g. 1866.

FELLOW CITIZENS -
1 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 a uniformed police as infinitely more
efficient than one without some conspicuous dis
tinction from other classes of the community, tor
will here assign,
The objects Of every police system are first to
prevent the commission of offences against the
law, and second, to detect the offenders w1en the
law has been violated Obviously the first is
most to be desired. And, it is clear to nv mind
that officers who are at once reco gnized as such,
must have weight in preventing the commission
of offences which cannot belong to those who are
not thus distinguished. They are known at
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
spire 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
the police OF this city, cheap but conspicaously
marked uniform. But the advantages are 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 jurisdiction; and looking upon a uni
formed police an important means to the at
tainment of this end, l appeal to you for your
aid in guarding your interests. e.
The Councils have literally voted to arm the
police, and trust, with your cooperation, ulti-
mately to make offences against the law as rare,
they have hitherto been frequent. In at
responsibility; but it it is in your interests that
act, and feel confident of your generous and in
telligent support in carrying into effect the
measure which ! Lave herein submitted for
your approval
JNO. R. LUDLOW,
jy9 Mayor of Norfolk.
