New Additions to Work.
The compilations in the report wer
made by Secretary Meissner, and Chic
Logan in presenting the report com
ments upon certain changes and add
tions made in the work of the depart
ment as follows:
"a new patrol box was installed a
the Simmons baseball park, at the eX
pense of the Simmons Mfg. company
which however is not in the city limits
has served a very good purpose durln'
the summer months. By means OF TIN
patrol box the people of Kenosha wer
given direct and immediate service D
the police department. On several oe
casions due to accidents on the playln
field the police ambulance was sum
moned.
Gan additional automobile was adde
to the police department, namely
Paige seven-passenger touring ca
This car has proven a great help
the police department, due to its gres
speed it has enabled the department :
get to the scenes of crime in recor
breaking time. Several times durin
the past ar we have been able to al
prehend criminals while at work, due I
the service of the high speed automc
lille. A new Harley-Davidson motor
cycle with a side car attachment ha
been added to the motorcycle squad.
"New mushroom traffic lights hay
been installed at heavily congeste
traffic street intersections.
"New files relative to crime hay
been added, which enables the depart
ment to keep an accurate check on a.
sorts of crime committed in Kenosh
and major crimes throughout the Unit
ed States and Canada.
"a multigraph printing machine wa
added and stands out very prominent
as one Of the most valuable assets o.
the department. By means of this ma
chine a daily bulletin is issued to eacL
member of the police department. We
have also been able to print our own
forms, such as are used by the depart
ment, thereby eeonomizing on oul
printing.
1.-TWO dozen Lewis Hughes police
grenades were purchased which have
been very useful throughout the coun-
try IN barricaded house fights. We so
far have not had the occasion to use
these grenades, but It is greatly advisa-
BILE to have them on hand in case al
emergency arises in which to use same.
