MERIT RULES
POLICE SYSTEM
IN MIL WAUKEE
Politics Barred, MorriSSey
and Deery Learn on
Visit There.
BY Upton s. BLISH
Times staff Writer

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 9.-The use Of
the merit system IN the Milwaukee
Police Department is being investi-
gated here today by Chief Mike
Morrissey and Corporation Counsel
James E. Deery Of Indianapolis, with
a view toward the establishment of
a similar system in the indianapolis
Police Department.
The two officials came here yes
terday at the request of Mayor John
w. Kern, who, impressed by vide
spread reports Of the efficiency OF
the Milwaukee police, which gen
orally is attributed to the civic service
methods employed here, asked for a
thorough investigation and report
on the Milwaukee system.
The indianapolis Times for some
time has urged the adoption of the
merit system in the Indianapolis
Police Department and, if Chief
Morrissey and Mr.. Deery report that
the system could be beneficial and
practical in Indianapolis, legislation
will be introduced, either in the cur
rent General Assembly or in the
City Council, to provide for its adop-
ton. it was learned.
The civil service system was es-
tablished in the Milwaukee police
force about eight years ago by
Daniel A. Hoan, the city's long time
Socialist MAYOR.
Must Pass Examination
Under the Milwaukee system, all
policemen and officials are ap-
pointed to their positions only after
they have passed a competitive eX-
animation and they can be removed
from office or denoted only when
charges of inefficiency or mall
feasance in office have been proved
against them. All appointments are
made by the Mayor and a non
partisan board of Police and Fire
Commissioners and they likewise
act on dismissals and demotions.
This board, which corresponds
somewhat to the Indianapolis
Safety Board, is composed Of five
one of whom is appointed
each year by the Mayor to serve for
a five-year term. Not more than
two commissioners may belong to
the same political party. They act
in disciplinary cases after recon-
have been made to
them by Police Trial Board COM
posed of the police chief and in
spector and the highest ranking
police officers.
Efficiency Obtained
AS a result of this system, the dis
cipline and efficiency of the Mil
waukee police force is famous
throughout the country. A police
man is obligated to put forth his
best efforts if he wishes to be sure
of holding his position, and he is
not in the constant fear of being
forced out of his job by change in
the city administration.
Likewise. a policeman is given a
place on the force because he has
proved his ability by competitive
examination and not because he has
been a loyal party worker or because
he has managed to win the favor
of his ward boss.
In Milwaukee, a man must be
good to become a cop and he must
to be good if he is to re-
main on the force.
