Frequency Meditation System
Proves Boon To Police Work

The Wilmington Police depart
ment has a big job, maintaining
order in a community that has
expanded three or four times its
normal size.
One of the chief reasons that the
department is able to function sc
effectively is that the police fire.
quency modulated radio system
mas proven a boon, the officers
say.
In May, 1912. the city replaced
its Am. police radio system with
the frequency-modulated type. AT
that time five patrol cars. in ad-
oltlon to foot patrolmen, were
dealing with the greatly increased
police problems of this war-ex-
panded city. With the innovation
OF frequency-modulation went the
installation of car-to-car broadcast
ing to facilitate the speed with
which one car could be brought
to the aid Of another or to the
scene of a crime.
This system operates with the
use of $50 watt transmitter To-
Gated at the fire headquarters sta
ton with control room at the po.
lice station. A transmitter of this
volume has been found necessary
to overcome the bad atmospheric
conditions which prevail in this
area. Tied into this radio system
with receiving and transmitting
apparatus is the Fire Chiefs car,
and the city's fireboat, used for
protecting its riverfront docks,
warehouses and buildings has re-
Gently been equipped with a re.
celvlng set. Thus the fire CHIEF
can direct its operations from the
land when the nature of the fire
being fought so demands.
Tied into the city radio. system
are two OF the county government 4
patrol cars which are equipped
with receiving and transmitting
sets but not with car-to-car trans.
mitters. Breakfasts to these cars
are initiated at the city police con.
troll room.
Today the city operates six DO.
lice patrol cars fully equipped with
two-way, car-to-car sets with q
and 30 watt transmitters. The in.
stallation of frequency incubation
has greatly improved reception by
eliminating static and machine in.
reference. Greater coverage has
been accomplished along with the
elimination Of dead spots and the
prevention Of wavering trans.
hitting signal which under the A,
M. system caused broadcasts to
rise and fall from time to time.
Transmission from car-to-car has
beer successful over a range Of
twenty-five miles and from car to
headquarters over forty miles. In
addition there is now no interior.
ence from other stations and there
are few receivers in the area
which can pick up Wilmington po.
lice calls, thus providing greater
secrecy foc important police mes.
sages. Finally the component parts
of the frequency modulation sys.
tenn are smaller, requiring less
space, less maintenance, and less
expense.
This up-to-date equipment en-
ables the Wilmington police de.
partment to derive the maximum
use from its six patrol cars which
adequately protect an area and
population that would conceivably
require more cars without such
equipment. Contact is maintained
with foot patrolmen by means OF
police telephone call boxes.
