POLICE ARREST 116

Infractions of the law were at a
minimum in Grand Rapids during the
past year, according to the report of
the Police Department for the year
ending December 81, as is shown that
only 116 persons were taken into
custody during that period, and IA of
these arrests were made at the re-
quest of outside officials.
Speeding cases lead the list, with
cases having to do with intoxicants
coming second. Eight persons were
arrested for larceny, burglary 3; for
gerry 2; and statutory charges g.
The record speaks well for the eff
cheney of the force who have been on
the job night and day, guarding the
peace and welfare of the city. While
the small number of arrests might
indicate the force had little to do, it
must be remembered that force that
prevents one crime is more valuable
than one that allows a dozen offenses
and captures all participants.
