WE PREFER OUR OWN POLICE

We understand that Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
proposes to dcker with Governor Harry Nice Maryland
In regard to the creation of interstate detective force
Under this arrangement there would be reciprocal agree
ment between the District of Columbia police officials and
those OF Maryland whereby Investigations might
be expedited"
montgomery County wants of this This county
has adequate police force and indeed residents of the
county are not too to put much faith the
amount OF commonsense exercised by Washington police
men, And not any too much faith in the efficiency of
the Washington police force in view of its recent publicity
AT any rate such is not necessary
tainly not wanted.
There are Federal officers to take care of interstate
cases. The citizens of Montgomery County have great
deal of confidence in the Federal Government and the De-
parment of Justice when enforcing the law in
the Jurisdiction of Federal authorities Surely any inter-
state agreement would trepass upon Federal grounds
Here, IN Montgomery County, we feel that we have
police force amply able to take of the counts citizens
Washington police do their part keep gamblers and
criminals out of the District
Governor Nice has not indicated that he would approve
any action the part of the District of Columbia officials
which would place detectives in this county spying upon it's
citizens. We hardly believe that he would agree to
such move.
The chief executive has control over Montgomery
County police officers He might conceivaby order mem
bers of the State Police Force to make some ade agree
ment with District officers We do not believe that he
Will sanction such an agreement
