n. J.POL|CE NOT
RURAL PATROL
Prosecutor Fears Indifference
on Part of Communities
Due to State Force.

Prosecutor Joseph Z. Stricken in a
statement to the EVENING NEWS
today concerning the newly enacted
law creating a state constabulary
sees both a benefit and detriment in
the new law. The prosecutor also
is of the opinion that the horses to
be employed in the patrol. will later
be substituted for motorcycles.
In the small towns of the state
and particularly in this county, many
of the communities haye no police
force or even constables to main
tain order or afford protection. For
some time past the prosecutor has
advocated that each community
should have some one to look after
the protection of the town and he is
fearful that with the state constabu-
larry these communities may depend
upon them for protection and not do
their own share towards this end.
The state constabulary cannot af-
ford this protection, Prosecutor
Stricken points out in his statement.
as the constabulary is intended only
as an auxiliary to the local police
forces for the running down of GRIM
inals.
Prosecutor Stricker's statement
follows:
The greatly needed additional
police patrol will be most beneficial
to the state and especially to the
county of Middlesex. where some of
the communities have entirely ig-
nored their duty and responsibility
in not providing police protection of
any kind. fear this indifference on
the part of the offending municipal
tiles will be increased. as they will
take it for granted that the state
constabulary has been created for
their exclusive benefit. This of course
is not so, as it is intended only as an
auxiliary to the police facilities
throughout the state.
II am also inclined TO the belief
that before long the use of horses
will be substituted by motorcycles.

criminals of the present day take
