POLICING PLAN
BEING RIPPED UP
BY GILLESPIE
Latest Move Is to Divide City
Into Six Districts for Plain
Clothes Men
MANY OTHER SWEEPING
CHANGES ARE MADE
New Official Says He Is Aiming
At Increased Speed and
Efficiency

The system of policing Detroit has
been turned upside down. practically,
by Police Commissioner Gillespie, in
his reorganization plan. now complet-
ed, and being put into effect as rapidly
as possible. Speed and efficiency are
the aim Of the changes, which look
good, theoretically, and ought TO work
out all right.
Chief az Detectives Palmer, made
car of all of the plain clothes men,
now has a staff Of 60 men at his dis
posal. There are no more precinct
detectives, literally speaking, though
the rank Of precinct detective has to
remain on the books, on account OF
tho pay question. But all detectives
are now central bureau men. All
tiuant officers are also central
bureau" men.
The city is divided into six dis
tricts," for the plain clothes men. The
first, or central district, comprises the
territory bounded by the river, on the
south, Warren-ave. on the north, st.
Aubin-ave. on the east, and Twelfth
ST. on the west.
This district Is the prime charge
or the central bureau, dlrect, Wnere
the majority of the plain clothes men
will be placed, day and night.
But in each OF the other five dis
tricts. two Central bureau men will be
held responsible for tips and infor-
nation, and arrests But at any time
any Of the outlying districts may be
made the scene of demonstration
In force" by the plain clothes men
If the central district is quiet, and
there Is an epidemic OF thefts in dis
trict No. 6, detectives will be poured
into the affected district until things
are cleaned up.
The truant officers will perform the
same duties that they did in the past
when they were a separate bureau
from the detective department, but
they will also report on lette look
up missing persons. attend to domes-
tic squabbles. and do other detective
work not along the regular criminal
line.
