PL An POLICE
PAPER FOR
STATE
California Peace Officers Ex-
pect to Launch Weekly to
Keep Tab on Crime

California will soon have the first
an official magazine devoted entirely
to crimes and criminals, with a view
to recovering stolen goods, prevent
ing swindles. apprehending Offenders
and keeping every constable In the
smallest hamlet informed as to the
daily affairs of the police departments
and sheriffs' Offices OF the entire state.
The new publication, which probably
will soon be issued, is projected by
the Peace Officers association, OF
which Chief of Police vollmer of
Berkeley. Chief Petersen of Oakland,
Chief White of San Francisco and
other law officials Of the bay region
are leading members.
The journal will appear weekly and
circulate among peace officers.
PEACE OFFICERS TO WRITE
Either the sheriffs, police chiefs
and district attorneys will appoint a
managing editor from their number
or the supervisors of the counties of
the state will name an editor and pro
rate the cost, or the periodical will be
edited and printed by the state printer
in Sacramento. Each peace officer
will submit his weekly copy, consist
ing of details of crimes committed,
property lost or recovered, fugitives
wanted and other data.
BY such a publication one object
hoped for will be prevention Of state
wide check swindles The police
journal VIII give advance news OF
such offenders, making capture easy.
II believe the publication will inn
measurably increase the efficiency OF
the law said Chief Vollmer. Police
departments are now out of touch,
more or less; a weekly journal will
keep them fully informed of their
coming problems as well as of the
capture of criminals, sentences and
property lost or recovered.
"The only system now in vogue is
the police bulletin-published by
cities. Not all have these bulletins.
and there is no general state organi-
zation.''
