CHARTER CHANGES
URGED FOR POLICE
Chief Martin Thinks Two In
spectors Should Be Appointed
on the Force
Number of Detective Sergeants
Should Not Be Limited to
Twenty-Five

Chief of Police Martin is considering
the advisability of consulting the
mayor and police commissioners at the
earliest opportunity as to the neces-
sity of including in the proposed
amendments to the charter an amend
ment making certain important
changes in the personnel of the depart
ment.
One of the principal changes would
be the appointment of two inspectors
or police, with salaries commensurate
To the position, who would have sole
charge of the department affairs while
the chief and captain of detectives
were off duty In other words, the
chief and captain of detectives would
be on duty during business hours and
each of the inspectors would be on
duty for eight hours each froma4 D. IN.
till s a. M At present there is an act
ing captain of detectives. but his pay is
the same as other detective Sergeants
In Chicago there are four lieutenants
assisting the captain of detectives and
about 200 detective sergeants. The in
spectors would be selected for their
fitness from the detective sergeants
Another change would be an increase
of the detective sergeants to one for
each 20 or 25 men In the department
unuer tne McCoppln act the number
of detectives was fixed at Is and under
the charter the number was increa sed
10 20. That was 10 years ago, and the
city has since that time increased con-
siderably in population. AS result
about 25 men are detailed for detective
duty whose pay is the same as a pa
trolman and as they have to spend
money in hunting for cIews and Grim
inals it is considered but right that
they should receive the pay of a de-
tective sergeant
In view of the increased responsible
tiles devolving upon the chief and
captain of detectives it is also to be
urged that their salaries be increased.
