OUR POLICE AND OUR SECURITY

Commissioner Heinrich Pickert. of the Detroit Police
department has lust issued an interesting little booklet en-
titled Your Security with view to creating better
laons between the members Of his department and the
public.
Il is an effort in the right direction for without the
good will and cooperation of the public the police officers
Of any city find extremely difficult TO enforce the law.
This particularly metropolitan city like De-
tro where many minority groups help TO make up the
population.
The present unfrendly attitude of certain elements
Of Detros ctzenry toward members of our police force
is due degree the failure of many Of these Of
fcers to cultivate public good will.
Police officers should indulge in racial prejudice,
religious hatred injustice and brutality, in their
facts with citizens Of group, but unfortunately
Of our citizens from time time have suffered from un
necessary police brutality and intolerance
In his booklet. Commissioner Pickert wisely points
out the advantages be derived from establishing more
public good Will for the police department He outlines
few improvements in this direction which be made in
his department He writes in part:
w e must sweep our own doorstep. We must insure
uniform and correct attitude the part of
mel Steps have already been taken improve rela
tons with the public by telephone These should
have two obieetiyes in view first 10 see the call
handled c0urteously and prompty secondly. find
if the transaction was taken Of properly from police
technical viewpoint Cllzens should never be given the
"ranaround when they call the police department.
The Commissioner further says: "Al elevator opera
tors clerks in Offices and others who come in daily
with the public should be thoroughly schooled in the
proper treatment Of visitors department Special
attention should be directed the personnel who issue
rolt every three years This should be
splendd opportuntv 10 impress these citizens with the
management and high standards Of efficiency of their
police department They could be made into friends and
boosters of the police if handled properly However if
in their treatment while in hands for brief visit,
IN three they handled in gruf sury and
often arrogant have missed great opportun-
" to make number Of valuable friends
Again Comm ssioner Pckert declares:
a.. officers should be convinced that traffic viola
tons not personal affairs and should be handled in
strictly mpersoral manner 40 matter how serious
fagran' a'io be- the officer must learn there
no occasion 70 rea The offense as persona affron upon
himself He exertise self-contro and avoid argu-
mcnt ar loss 81 temuer
We commend Commissioner Pickert upon his book
let. Your Sec0ri't We hope will increase the feeling
Of greater mutual esteem between the public and the
lice department. and that may also bring about whole
change the attitude Of some Of he local police in
their contacts With coored citizens which will result in
secur.iy Tor groun.

POLICE DEPARTMENT:
A police department, like all 9TH
err large organizations. Is compos-
ed entirely OF individuals. Yet the
public has tendency TO evaluate
and form the opinion OF the De-
troit Police department as II II were
single unit. The good reputation
and high standing OF efficiency as
Il law enforcing agency. builded
around long years OF concerted ef-
fort by many good men. can be. and
often are. entirely ruined by the i'll
considered action or misconduct OF
one or few individuals within the
organization.
To quote Commission Pickert
1T has always been my BELIEF that
a better understanding and appre-
citation OF good public relations il
badly needed in all modern gov
ernmental agen les. Especially Is
this statement true OF law enforce
ment organizations. which, by the
very nature OF their work. are Sc
often productive OF micunderstand-
ing and ill-feellng."
No other form OF public service
is as likely TO cause such i'll feeling
among the public il serves as the
agency whose duty II is 10 enforce
the laws and restrict the citizens
conduct. The art OF policing a
community has been growing more
and more complex each year. In
the early history OF American po-
lice departments we find those
rudimentary police organizations
dealing 10 large extent with vari-
Gus forms OF larceny. The good
citizens OF the community. badly in
need OF protection from such thiev-
es. felt sincere alliance with the
police. They were both allied to-
gether against a definite outlaw
group. II was this feeling OF CO.
operation from the citizens which
was doubtless responsible for re-
suits accomplished by the ineffi-
cient, loosely organized law en-
forcing agencies OF years ago
Gauged by present-day standards
their results were entirely out OF
proportion TO their efficiency. CITI-

What Are You
Thinking
BY Fanny Curry

According 10 your thoughts your
life Is built.
This column Is to help mankind
on the way to right thinking: also
to show what happens to us when
we think wrong thoughts.
I am n winner
There Is one important thing for
man to do. and that Is to recognize
his oneness with God. Fear and
doubt will take the intelligent quail
ties from any man and he will be
a victim OF, circumstances. He Is
afraid OF one thing or the other,
which paralyzes his mental powers
and renders him UNIT. mentally.
physically, and spiritually.
Hatred. prejudice. and SUPPOSE
ton are monsters in mans affairs:
but you can overcome these shad-
ows. To desire 10 live better life
automatically changes conditions
for you. And you can have health.
success, and happiness by thinking
as you wish 10 see things come in
TO manifestation. BY your thoughts
you are condemned or justified.
When you walk the streets do
not NOPE along as though you
have not a spark OF energy, but lift
the head and swing the arms, take
correct posture. II will give you
perfect physique and also keep
the organs OF the body in good
condition.
II Is proper for man TO have re-
creation; but do not make a habit
OF lettering on the corners or pub
lie places; play your game and go
home. Walk the streets and smile
and let the sparks OF intelligence
shine out through your face, make
II a habit 10 smile and use tact.
Never employ the impression as
a coward: but as winner. wheth-
er you have a penny or not. Look
up and have faith In yourself and
God. Hold the thought fully;
l can: | Will; I must. Nine times
out OF ten you will not have the
interference of patrolman. hut II
you NOPE along you are most like
~ to attract them and the conse-
quence is brutality. Through the
expression OF mans eyes and ac-
tons he Is Judged by man and law.
Speak expressively and intelligent
ly when seeking employment or
business deal and you will win out.
