mo clubs or social or benevolent or

should be permitted in a police force. be-
cause they are cooperative, they destroy

Favors Contract Police Force.
What would you consider an ideal
police force" asked Gen. Bingham.
THE ideal police force, the most effi-
cient public protection could be obtained
by contract" was the reply. AN or
ganization like the Pinkertons would be
the most efficient. and I should like to see
the plan tried. should like to see some
city government contract with an indi-
vidual or a company to do its police work.
This would place 1t on a business basis

II recommended in my last report that

with the power to revoke the details at
any time on the basis of efficiency. This
authority was given to me by the law pass

the power to send them back to their beats
whenever they fail to make good, and thus
details on this favorite duty depend entire
ly upon their records. I would like to go
little farther and have the authority to
employ the services of the best men to be
found In civil life as detectives. That Is
absolutely necessary to get perfect force.
Detective work, of course, has got to
be done In plain clothes. and the tempta-

The day will be generally observed by

after oral and written examination. were
nominated for the vacancy in the rank OF
inspector, and the commissioner mad 70
choose one of the three. His personal
knowledge of the men made no difference.
He had TO take one of them; but last April.
on my recommendation, new police law
was passed by the legislature, which per-
mits the commissioner to select his inspec-
tors from the entire list of captains, and
gives him authority to reduce them or pro-
mote them at WILL which is very important.
Responsibility of Inspectors.

police force are now made personally re-
sponsible for the con 1uct of their men. and
If they don't make good every time I can
reduce them to their former rank and put
In somebody else from among the ninety
captains who will do better work. Every
inspector is therefore thrown upon his rec
ord, and no political influence goes here
these days.
Another important reform that has re-
Gently been introduced Is to make the in
spectors report on complaints. We receive
an average of $4,000 complaints a month.
Formerly they were referred to the cap
tains and no report ever made upon
most of them. No record was kept Now
complaint is referred directly to the in
spector from whose jurisdiction it comes
and he is required to report upon it prompt
ly in writing. He can pass 1t down to one
of his captains. or he can call up the men
involved. That is his own affair. At head
quarters he is held responsible and card
index is kept of every complaint, so that
If we do not hear from him in a few days
he is stirred up again and that makes him
hustle around and find out everything thai
is going on among his men, Furthermore
when an inspector knows that every repor,
he makes goes on file and becomes a part
of his record, he is mighty careful to keeI
straight.
Importance Of Good Corporals.
Now, II the commissioner could also
| have the power to make the first promotion
| in the force IL he were allowed to pick the
corporals from the patrolmen on the basis
of intelligence. tact, judgment. honesty and
efficiency. and also have the power to re-
