R|KHOFF SCORES
c. OF c. REPORT
ON CITY POLICE
Absurd in Its Entirety Is
Chiefs Reply to Harri-
son Survey,

Police Chief Herman F. Rkhoff
today characterized as absurd in
its entirety" report Of Leonard V.
Harrison. Chamber of Commerce
expert, on reorganization Of the
police department.
The report does vindicate me in
my request for more patrolmen,"
Rikhoff declared.
Rikhoff declared money saving in
few instances as set out by Har-
rison might be all right. but that
he had failed to quote figures and
conditions in other instances.
Referring to Harrison's report for
consolidation to- save man-power,
Rikhoff declared 1t would be inpos-
sible to keep the city garage filed
with good mechanics on a patrol
mans salary The chief said he kept
two men on the telephone desk at
headquarters-one eligible to pen
sion service and the other physically
incapacitated
At the city hospital Rikhoff said
he had three men detailed, all ply
sically unable to perform patrol
duty.
1.-The fact is" Rikhof said. "AI-
though I have 534 names on the po-
lice pay roll, only about half of
them are doing police duty"
Il didn't make these conditions.
I inherited them, and they've been
going on here for years"
The chief agreed with Harrison on
need of more sub-stations but de-
clared he had refrained from asking
for them because of the expense.
He said reduction in ranks would be
acceptable to him, but that city
council had brought about all the
promotions, many against his
wishes.
Rikhoff disagrees with Harrison,
who recommended consolidation of
the patrol and traffic system. He
said he used traffic men for park
duty OIL Sundays. He also defended
the double patrol system declaring
the city was divided into such large
districts it would be impossible for
one patrolman to cover the districts.
