System of Keeping Aged Men

Derision in Department

Two specific actions taken by Com
missioner Richard E Enright at the
beginning of his administration have
materially aided in the demon alization
end breakdown in efficiency of the
Police Department, IT was learned yes
terday. These are: The abolition of
the training school icr officers and the
development of wlau is derisiyely
known to the rank ard file of the de-
pnrtment as "The Order Of the Crutch. "
The school was instituted oy Colonel
Arthur Woods, the predecessor of
Commissioner Enright. bur the latter
IS Mr.. Enright's own idea. The school,
abolished by the present Commissioner
Immediately after his induction irto
office, is referred to in 4n article
printed in the current issue of The
Weekly RevieV, which, however, was
written by Colonel Woods last July.
Selected Men in Charge
The school was established at po-
ice headquarters. al.o Inspector Cor
nelius f. Cahalane was placed in COM
mard Of it. A specially selected corps
OF instructors were put in charge Of
various classes.
Every policeman O., the eligible list
was sent to this school as soon as he
mad been selected for promotion to the
rark OF sergeant. The re he was taught
tnose duties Of his new rank which
we're different from the duties he had
been in the habit of discharging.
Similarly sergeants selected for pro-
motion to leutenants were sent to the
school, but they attended another sec
Slon, where Il llcutenant's dutles were
impaired to them. None of the men
were actually promoted to the higher
rank until they had satisfactorily
demonstrated their fitness for their
new duties
Shortly after Com missioner Enright
assumed office Inspector Cahalane was
New-York tribune., 1920-12-24

shifted to an inspection district. and
the instructors were distributed
through the department or resigned.
Men were then promoted from lower
ranks without any previous instruc-
tion in their new duties, and left to
shift for themselves. They were COM
PEELED to learn slowly and inefficiently
by the uncertain method of expert
ence.
Another phase Of the school also
was abolished forthwith by Commits
sioner Enright. This was the civil
service section instituted by Colonel
Woods. 1t existed at Headquarters
and in every police precinct 1t was
designed to aid those policemen who
we're ambitious to prepare for their
civil service examinations.
Attendance at these schools was en-
tireiy voluntary on the part of the
policeman, and he had to attend them
in his own time when he was off duty.
such manner that he would not be
compelled to enter private school and
pay the tuition fees.
"Order os the Crutch"
"The Order of the Crutch" is an En-
right development of the welfarc
squad, institute by Colonel Woods. 1t
was originally designed to aid in the
reclamation of young criminals. 1t was
composed of carefully selected police
men who operated under Leroy Peter
son, volunteer worker. who concen-
trated his squad at Police Headquar-
ters, and actually accomplished results.
Upon the entrance of Commissioner
Enright, this squad was reorganized,
and portions of it assigned to every
police precinct in the city. Fifty aged
police lieutenants were detailed to
this squad. Many of them would have
voluntarily retired some time ago on
half pay, but in this squad they are
practically retired on full pay.
This situation is one of the greatest
causes of dissatisfaction in the depart
ment among the rank and file. The
younger policemen are deeply incensed
over it, because it keeps them from
rising in the department. As long as
the aged lieutenants are kept on the
active list they block promotions. Com
missioner Enright was president of the
Police Lieutenants' Benevolent Associa-
ton before he became Commissioner.

there arises the question of policies.
SHALL this campaign be based upon
the issues of war and preparation for
war. or is It to be upon peace and II
