OF Chief of Police-Annual Report
To the Honorable the Mayor and Common
Council of the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: [ have the honor here
with to present to yOum annual report of
the business transacted by the Police
Department during the year ending June
81, 1885, together with such suggestions in
regard to the wants of the department as
seem proper for your consideration.
The location of our city and the fact that
it is the starting point for large number
of railroads leading in all directions lenders
it one of the best in the country as head
quarters for all classes Of criminals, and to
protect it and its citizens from these people
requires fully equipped and active Police
force.
During the past year, by legislative en-
actments and upon the authority of the
Common Council, number of officers and
patrOlmen have been added to the depart
ment, and this has resulted in great benefit
to it as d whole. The business has also
been greatly facilitated by the introduction
of the police alarm, which has but lately
been put in active operation. At present
we have but twenty-five boxes, which do
not by any means adequately cover the po-
lice portions of the city, and / would re-
spectfully request that the location of at
least twenty-five additional boxes be author
lied by your honorable body.
These boxes enable the patrolmen to send
in fire alarms as well as police calls, and the
outlying portions of the city are by no
means well supplied. The system which
has been adopted by the city has now been
in operation long enough to demonstrate its
value and completeness as far as it goes,
but urgently recommend that telephones
be placed in each of the alarm stations, as
the need of ready and accurate communica-
ton between the officers of the force and
the patrolmen can be easily seen.
l take this occasion to again call your at
tention to the urgent need of the depart
ment of at least three sub-stations. The
recent engagements of the city limits and
