 T am happy to say that the rank and file of the poAce of America, whom you have assembled here to represent, are men of whom their fellow citizens are proud. They stand between organized society and its enemies It is their duty to keep lawlessness in check and to enforce the regulations devised to keep our complicated machinery of daily life running smoothly. Where they are called upon daily to risk their lives in tasks of peril or where they are as- signed to less dangerous duties cour- age, intelligence and the ability to 1Y,ieo 0r,ick11y stantly demanded of them. The po- liceman is human, just as we all are, but. with exceptions that are fortu- nately rare, he discharges his diff cult duty with fearlessness and dis cretion."
