Vienna Takes Pride
In Efficient Police.
Neus Wiener Abendblatt, Vienna
The Vienna police have been tradi-
tionally fortunate in having the lead
| ership Of men who sought or ac-
cepted administrative positions in the
| department not for private emolument,
but for the public good. Rarely indeed
has odium attached to any functionary
Of executive position, while the rank
and file Of the department are nota-
| bly, free from taint in their dealings
with the public, performing their duties
without fear or favor and esteeming
any offer Of gift or bribe for an in
| fringement Of their duty a contempti-
BILE insult
In addition to an expert technical
knowledge of their responsibilities, all
the officials Of the Vienna police de-
| partment, more than 200 In number.
are trained In the legal aspects of their
work, and most Of them have a more
or less comprehensive knowledge of
chemistry, anatomy, physiology and
mental diseases to aid them in the
elaborate investigations so frequently
made necessary in their calling. In

unsurpassed fnesse of the Paris pre-
lecture. Like these famous French po-
| lice officers, the Vienese magistracy Is
| composed of men familiar with several
foreign languages, particularly English
and French. Before their appointment
| all police officials in Vienna receive
| at least two years special training
for their duties in the metropolitan
| "Polizei-Schule" in any other subjects
advantageous with respect to the expert
accomplishment Of their duties. Though
promotions to executive posts are not
usually from the ranks, at present near
ly 100 men of the gendarmerie poll

ambitious subjects at the University of
| Vienna.
| Whether considered from the stand
point of intelligence or physique, the
Viennese police have few superiors. In
pursuing the criminal they employ, too
every scientific innovation facilitating
capture and conviction. The automo-
bile and radio have been lavishly
adopted toward these ends, as well as
the so-called "Poller Formprozees"
(Poller model process), by which OBJ
1ects are duplicated and preserved in
definitely, when otherwise they would
be lost or marred. Footprints in muddy
ground; other impressions, such as of
tires and bullet marks in plastering, as
we'll as portions of the human body, re-
producing wounds faithfully as to ma
ture, extent and even color-all of these
are perpetuated in an accuracy which
makes them identical with the original
markings and equally valuable in sub
how remotely ordered.
Within the past year only one homi-
eide in Vienna has remained unsolved.
All the others and multudinous prob
lens of scarcely less concern have been
promptly and effectually solved. The
rank and file never have any fear of
the consequences while doing their pre-
scribed duty. They are supported fully
and all their actions justified by their
superiors, when such doings are in ac-
cord with the law. There are no "un-
touchables" In the proceedings Of the
Viennese police department. Before
being assigned to service each COM
ponent Of the force is qualified not only
In the particulars already enumerated
but IN swimmipg. pugtlism. wrestling.
