CENTRALIzING THE DETECTIVE FORCE.

When the Police Commissioners recently an
nonnced that they were considering plan TO cen,
tralize the detective service in the department and
to make all the precinct detectives report 10 dn
tains in every part of the city. 1t was Thought Tor
a time that decision of the matter could not DC
reached BY the Board, because two OF me CoIlils
Mneh surprise was caused at Police Headquarters,
therefore when the Board Yesterday passed
10 Az in fhe city should be transferred to the
defective Bureau at Police Headquarters.
Inspector Byrnes will assign, detectives
10 duty wherever they may be required.
THE action of the Commissioners clothes Inspector
Byrnes with more real power than has been held for
a long time by the Superintendent. Police captains
have been permitted to select the detectives In their
precincts heretofore and to direct all the local de-
tectlve work. IL has been often asserted. but never
proved that much of that work has consisted Ill

and other places frequented by disordeTly persons
