extracts
Under a leave of absence granted by YOU to
visit cities having the Metz opoltan police sys-
first IN the city Of New York. Three eoaditions
Of'heh police operations impressed me par
ucularly, viz the length of time embraced in
the tours OF duty of their patromen, the rigid
manner ia which they enforce discipline under
their rules and regulations. ard their excellent
and comprehensive code of health ordinances,
ana the promptItude OF their enforcement. Per-
haps. also, 1 ought 10 mention the neat, tidy
and gentlemanly appearance of their police
men generally. In reference to the first par
ueuir aforementioned, am now thorough
Iy convinced, as l had before felt appre.

duty OF our men Is entirely too long. and

force. and as a conseore-oe the efficiency of
the organization. Alta subsequent and early
opportunity VIII bring this matter more fully
before YOU. i also became satisfied that, for
myself at least / have been too negligent in
enforcing the rules and regulations of the
Board, and that the character and reputation
of our force requires more stringent action in
this respect. As regards our health reguIa-
lions, 90 NOT Know Inat anything more can
imperfect sanitary laws. While much has
been accomplished during the past year to-
ward preserv wing the health of this District il
has too frequently been found that persons
could defy and resist the enforcement
of laws with impunIty, or if the sani-
efforts it was after much annoyance and
frequent insults in some instances.
I also Visited the cities of Albany and Buffalo.

bTaeed In the New York operations. In fact,
all cities adopting this system, take the ideas
OF It's working from that city. In CONCLUSION
i would state that in all my investigations i
found no force superior TO our own, OF from
which would wish to pattern. except in the
particulars mentioned with reference to the
