CRIME DETECTION
UNDER NEW PLAN
Closer Cooperation Between
Central Office and Precincts
in Operation Monday.

A new system of investigating and
detecting crimes in Washington will
be put into force next Monday when
precinct detectives will be brought
into direct contact with the Central
Detective Bureau at police head
quarters in the interest OF closer CO.
operation between the central othce
men and those at the precinct.
The plan was suggested by Inspec
tor Henry G.. Pratt. in command OF
the Detective Bureau. and its object
Is two.fold: First. to eliminate duplica'
ton of effort by the precinct and de-
tective headquarters on casee which
should be assigned to precincts only.
and second, to fix responsibility for
the investigation Of every case coming
to the attention of detectives.
Endorsed by Fenning.
The plan was worked out by Pratt
and Maj. Hesse. and Commissioner
Fenning today said that 1t had his
hearty Endorsement, since 1t would
Police Department was made up OF
independent units functioning INDIE
pendently rather than united ma
chine with each part functtoning In
coordination with every other part
in the prevention and detection OF
crime.
Sergt c. c. Wise, will be trans
ferred from the first precinct to police
headquarters for special duty in con.
nection with this plan. 1t will fall to
him to preside at a daily roll call OF
the II precinct detectives, who viii
gather in the headquarters squad
room at noon each day for their as
signments. The assignments will be
given them when the case involves
investigation entirely within a pre-
cinct and has not angles diverging
generally about the city. Wise also
will have other duties such as being
responsible for the smooth operation
of the telephone system of the Police
Department, which has It's central
switch board at police headquarters.
and for transportation equipment for
detectives.
Inspector Explains System.
Up to this point. Inspector Pratt
pointed out today, numerous assign
ments which could easily have been
handled by precinct detectives had
fallen to the lot of headquarters detec-
tives. with the result that numerous
minor cases impeded their progress
with larger and more important cases
falling to their lot.
Under the new system this burden
will be taken of headquarters detec
tives and given TO precinct detectives,
while at the same time the precinct de-
tectives will be acquiring experience
and knowledge of the specialized work
of the central detective bureau by
being brought into such close contact
with headquarters.
Analogy Is Cited.
The analogy drawn in the situation
by Inspector Pratt is one referring
to family physicians and specialists.
For d local disturbance or average
case. the precinct detective. like the
family physician. will be called in and
given complete responsibility for the
case. In complex situations. how
ever. where the case has angles which
place 1t above the ordinary, the head
quarters detective or specialist will be
placed on It.
Commissioner Fennins said he had
noticed the plan as, contemplated here
has been in operation in a. number of
other cities and that it worked out
favorably.
