Hartford's police department is "antiquated" it's policemen Hack pride in service, and the depart ment holds little public prestige, according to a report issued yester- day by Professor o. w Wilson of the faculty of the University of California and the Staff of Public Administration service.
 The issuance of the Hartford re- port brought to the minds of Wa terbur.ans the report filed with Mayor Vincent A Scully by the Wa terbury Taxpayers League several months ago following a survey Of th2 police department by Prof. Ellis Zimmerman of Columbia university.
 Details of the report have not been made public in Waterbury, with both Mayor Scully and the Taxpayers League declining to be the first to make announcement concerning it's contents.
 The Hartford report charges that the Insurance City has crime rate among the highest in New England and New York state, although Hart ford spends more money per capita on its department than any city in New England except Boston, and has more police employees for each 1000 population than any New Eng land city except Boston.
 Antiquated Procedures
 "The antiquated procedures used by the Hartford Department fill the informed public and the more com petent members of the department with disdain.
 Failure to place responsibility and delegate commensurate author ity has damaged police morale. There are on the Hartford Depart ment some unusually well qualified men, sincerely interested in pro- viding a high quality of police service. These men, including some in high-ranking positions, are given no responsibility and consequently are denied an opportunity to demon strate their ability"
 In another section of the report, the position of the deputy chief is cited with the statement that he "does not have complete responsib- ility for a single police function, He has no occasion or opportunity toplan, and he exercises control over no single group of men for 8 protracted period and thus has no opportunity to develop esprit de corps. Since he has not clearly established job to do, he cannot demonstrate his ability and has no incentive to do more than handle routine matters that are usually handled by a lieutenant. He awaits an emergency that never comes"
 High Crime Rate
 Finding that the problem of traf- fic control is of major importance in Hartford, the report states that

relative success in traffic control has been purchased at the cost of high crime rate. It presents data on the crime rate in Hartford and in 18 other cities of more than 100,- 000 population in New England and New York State. Hartford, the re- port states, had higher murder rate Ca five-year average) than any of the other cities with the eXcep- tion of New York CityA Buffalo and Fall River; higher automobile theft rate than any other city ill the group except Boston and Cambridge, Mass. ard the highest larceny and aggravated assault rate. The report, however, states that the aggravated assault rate is probably dispropor- tionately high as the result of a failure to distinguish between ag- gravated and simple assaults. Only Fall River had a higher burglery rate than Hartford, and only seven cities had a higher robbery rate than this city.
