'' '''7 '' i'Niio'4 VI one year dIN l showing the workings of this de- rartment for that period Chief of Police Moore last evening presented 1 t1 the city council his report for the year 1912. Incidentally he also pre- sented his quarterly report both 1 of which have much that are of in | terest In presenting this my annual re- port for the year ending December l 3lst 1912" says Chief Moore J 1 wish to take this opportunity oi | thanking each and every one of the | officers who have so willingly and ably assisted in making this depart | ment as efficient as it is because il l is only by cooperation of the em- l rloyes of any department that they | can do good work.
 l The strength Of the department is as follows: chief l; night captain l 1 motorcycle officer l: traffic men 3; jailor I; and an assistant jailor, and | 6 police officers. since the filing os my last report, the strength of tho department has been increased by adding two additional policemen and by the adding of an additional mo- ! torcycle
 T further wish to call the attention 0f the mayor and of the members of ; the council to the work of this ] department in that it has arrived at | q point where it is nearly self sup porting, luther details of which you will find i'll the attached detailed re- port.
 This department has not only been 1 active in suppressing crime, but the members of this department have also given helping hand in helping those | who are unfortunate, which was done through the medium of the police mems first annual ball which was given in the month of April last, the proceeds amounting to $500, which was donated to the Florence Crtten- den Home where the money Was needed and also appreciated
 This department is in need of sev
 eral improvements but knowing the
 limited amount of money that is al
 the disposal of your honorable body, II have nly suggested those most
 needed in order that the work of | this department may be made more
 effective the principal one is some system whereby the officers would
 be placed in easier and quicker com munication with headquarters. espec- 1 ally during the night time after the l stores and places of business are closed thereby cutting out the use | Of the phones in d great many places l SO that an officer often has to go a long distance before he can call up
 the office.
 | 1] in l
 stalling of a flashlight system or one
 similar to it, and l sincerely hop.
 that ere the time arrives for an-
 other report it will state that such
 q system has been installed.
 T again would respectfully call the attention of this body to the fact of
 the need of additional jail room. es- pccially Is this true Of the Women's
 department, and also we need addi-
 tional cell room for the men as there
 are times when it is absolutely ne cessary that they be kept separate
 for some time
 T also wish to thank the members
 of this body for the assistance that
 they have given this department dur
 irg the past year, and hope that 1t
 will continue"
