District May Establish
Motorcycle Police School

Establishment of training school
for motorcycle policemen may be-
come necessary to assure the Met
ropolitan force sufficient capable
men for this duty.
A recent survey of the entire
department disclosed that only 81
men not now assigned to motor
cycles had experience with them,
according to Maj. Edward J. Kelly,
superintendent of police. Maj. Kelly
said the check was undertaken at
request Of Commissioner Young. who
indicated Inauguration of a training
program might become necessary.
There are now 10 vacancies for
motorcycle men in the Traffic Divi-
sion.
The reservoir of 81 men who know
how to ride the two wheeled
vehicles may be exhausted rapidly
Maj. Kelly said, since many of these
members of the force may be I'M
suited because of age, physical con-
ditiOn or other reasons.
Motorcycle policemen are paid $40
extra a month because of addi-
tional hazards. Officials have been
unsuccessful in efforts to obtain
congressional approval of a raise
in the bonus to $25 per month.

tor of civilian defense, asked re-
