INGS HIT
BY HESSE

The strong right arm of the
District policeman shall pound
and belabor only in preserving
and defending the citizen in
the enjoyment of his constitu-
tional rights, Major Edwin B.
Hesse, superintendent of the
Police Department, has or
dered.
Too many reports are made of
promiscuous brutality when menu
bers of the force are not actually
engaged in protecting and de-
Tending society and securing
obedience to the laws." it is said.
In fewer words, the major has
instructed his force to see to it
that the citizen of the District
shall enjoy the privileges guaran-
teed by the constitution and force
shall be used only when said citi-
zen is not getting all that the
document PROMISES
Headquarters will take drastic
action in all cases in the future
when reports OF "wanton severity
are made. Hesse declared.
Hesse said that it has been
brought to his attention that his
men have exceeded their author
ity In making searches and invad-
ing homes in enforcement OF the
prohibition law and that this has
to stop.
A paragraph Of the order reads:
1.-THE constitutional provisions above
referred to. and the laws and regu.
lations enacted or adopted to 81 e
force and effect thereto, represent
in part the safeguards dictated by
the wisdom Of the ages as being
necessary to protect the citizen
against injustice and oppression,
and 1t should be the highest aim
of every member Of the force TO
see that no act Of his will, IN any
way, endanger the rights and
privileges which are guaranteed the
citizen by the Constitution, which
specifically provides that ones life,
liberty Of property can not be
taken from him except by due pro-
cess Of law"
Not enough attention has been
paid to Chapter 10 Of the Police
Manual, designed to teach the
rookie his first steps In arrests
and searches, Hesse pointed out.
