some CHANGES IN THE
DETECTIVE BUREAU
Recommendations Submitted
TO the Commissioners.
MAJOR SYLVESTER'S PLANS
Joseph Carter to Be Made Acting
Sergeant inspector.
Precinct Detective George Boyd Ia BE As
signed to Duty at Police Head
quarters.

Major Sylvester recommends to the
Commissioners today that Precinct De-
tective George Boyd. of the Second pre-
cinct. be transferred TO headquarters for
duty, and that Detective Joseph Carter
be made acting sergeant inspector. for
duty at headquarters at night 1t is
thought that both of these recommended
tions will be approved Of by the Com
missioners.
Detective George Boyd is one of the
best-known Of the local sleuths and has
been member of the headquarters force
for a long time. He is considered, by
many Of the best authorities IN the coun-
try ,one of the brightest and most active
detectives in the business and the an
nouncement OF his promotion or rather
his return to his old field will be received
with delight by his many friends. During
his long service at the detective bureau
Boyd made some very important cap
lures and was assigned to some very i'm
portant cases and when he was relieved
from duty there last spring his friends
were at a loss to account for-it. There
was no reason given for it tnen, and it
bile things that happened in the police
department during the past year and pri-
or TO the death of Major Moore.
The other promotion recommended by
the major was heartily indorsed by In
spector Boardman and his able assist
ants. Detective Carter has been con-
necUed with the detective force for many
years. and was only lately relieved from
duty at the district attorneys office. He
has made number of important arrests
since he was first made a detective, and
enjoys a wide reputation in the detective
circles throughout the country for be-
ing an earnest and painstaking officer.
His new duties as night inspector Will
require his presence at headquarters from
: o'clock in the evening to a correspond
ing hour next morning, and are not very
arduous in their nature. The night in
spector acts in the place of the inspector
during the night, and has charge of the
detective bureau at night. He is also his
personal representative at headquarters
At night. and acts for him when the oc-
CasiOn requires.
The appointment of Inspector Carter
relieves Sergt. Shilling. Of the First pre-
C.DcL who has been acting inspector ever
since the promotion of Inspector Boarl-
man, and he viii return 10 his precinct.
