 "For lhc information and guidance

 "Whle 1t would seem unneces- sary to invite the attention of po- liccmcn to the sacredncss of an oaih and the absolute need of truthful and uncolored statements in giving testimony before q court in either criminal or civil cases, the attitude of some Of the members Of this de- partmcnt before the local police court and the Superior Court as well, makes 1t obvious that all have not the proper conception of that part Of their duty relative to their conduct while on the witness stand.
 Police must remember that their connection with eases ceases after they have presented their prisoner to the court and that in tcstifying they are 10 tell all the facts asso- ciatcd with the arrest, irrespective of what bearing their testimony may have on the decision Of the court. They are at no time 10 eXaggerate or in any way color their testimony either in favor or against the ac- Cuscd.
 They are not concerned with the manner in which the case is handled by the prosecuting attorney, or the decision Of the court, their sole duty being to make the arrest when nec- essary. present the prisoner 10 the court and to recite, without inject ing their personal opinions into the matter, the actual facts. They should also remember that the pun shment to be meted out is matter for the court 10 decide, not the po- liComcn.
