Police Force
ReformAsked
S+reamlined System
Sought by Bureau
BY CHARLES WARD


year by abandoning five precinct
police stations and distributing
their work among the remaining
stations.
1t could make other savings by
abandonment OF reorganization Of
its police call box system; aboli-
ton OF roll call; by using patrol
wagons 10 perform some OF the
duties now performed by scout
cars and ambulances; by reorgan-
izing police districts on the basis
OF crime leads and by building
police stations large enough only
70 handle police business.
These are some OF the sugges-
tions contained in a report on the
police system made by the De-
troit Bureau OF Governmental
Research released Saturday.
SYSTEM oUTMoDED
In II page paper ]. NJ. Leon
ard OF the bureau staff, said that
the system was based on condi-
tions that prevailed in the days
when the foot patrolman was
supreme. ="
The report added that the Sys-
TEN did not take into considera-
ton changes that had occurred
in police practice since develop
ment OF the automobile and radio.
The stations which the bureau
would abandon are the second
Fort street,, the third Hunt
street,. the eighth Grand River)
the ninth (Bethune) and eleventh
CDavison). II points out that each
station has a salary list of SIS 900
year and that their elimination
would result in saving OF S375,-
900 annually.
OBSTACLES SEEN
There are two obstacles 10 elm
mating the precinct system, the
report said One Is the call box
system and the other the fact
that reorganization would provide
fewer top-rsnking positions.
The bureau believes that the
call box system could be sban-
doned without affecting the eff
ciency of the department Or
could be reorganized in one OF
two ways.
One would terminate all boxes
in a room next 20 the radio room .
in the central headquarters. The
other would terminate the box
hines in four districts
I, was estimated that the lat
ter plan would eliminate 81 OPP
orators and result in saving OF
S95 900 annually.
ROLL CALL UNNECESSARY f
The roll call. the bureau. said,
is no longer necessary since su-
periors could check on patrolmen
by means of radio. II suggested
that streamlnlnC Of police sta
tons would eliminate unnecessary
cell blocks and leisure rooms.
Asked about the report Mayor
Jeffries said ne had received i
but had not had time 70 study II !
He SAID however, that he had
been struggling 10 attain an ideal
police setup ever since he took
office
Police officials found many
flaws in the report, bowever
DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS I
We've been studying that
for years. along with the bu-
reau," Secretary Douglas CHM I
said. speaking in the absence Of /
Commissioner Ballenger we
studied the same facts hut have
reached different conclusions.
He said the department con-
sidered the roll call and tho call
