Police Shooting

u1HE DECISION to open The Washington Times
Metropolitan Police pistol matches to the police Of
all States this year is recognition of the increasing in
terest which aw-enforcement authorities throughout
the country are taking in improving their marksman
ship.
The first of these matches held last year, with
The Times offering gold plaque to the winner of the
competition among the District police and teams repre-
sentinc the State police of Maryland and Virginia.
It has been found, however that this "neighborly"
match will have to be extended in order that all police
teams desiring to compete in the National Capital may
be accommodated
Last year the local police out the Maryland
ers and the Ergnians.
Whether the local representatives will be able to do as
well against the widespread competition Of this
year is of course probematica but it is notable fact
that the ability of Washngton police to hit what they
aim at has been increasing steadily.
The abv or rather lack of it. on the part of police,
not onlv of Washington but of all cities to shoot accu-
ratev in former years. created that old standby OF the
news columns "the innocent bystander" who was
ALWAYS shot when the police drew their pistols.
The condition doesn't obtain any more.
Now. when a police officer draws his revolver and
fires he pretty certain to put his bullet where he wants
it to 60.
Much of the credit for this must go to the high Off
als of the department who have encouraged intrade-
parmental and inter departmental craftsmanship COM
petitions.
Here in Washington Maj Ernest Brown and his col
leagues on the high command have taken deep per-
sonal interest in improving the shooting of the depart
ment and under Lieut.. J. E. Fondahl, captain, the
District has police team of which it is justly proud
In connection with the coming matches to be held here,
appreciation must be expressed to the District National
Guard for the cooperation it is giving in making the
matches possible.
The Guard, through Col. John W. Oehman and
COL G. Nevt is making available that organizations
range at Camp Simms, without which it would be i'm
possible to hold the matches.
