The Beginning OF IA Realization Of A Dream

Back about 1888 several civic
minded citizens in the Colored area,
along with Sgt. o. w. Faircloth of
the Miami Police Department, visu-
allied the rapid growth Of the Ne
gro population in Miami, and that
there would be growing need for
closer at home" policing of this
area The answer obviously, seemed
to be Negro police were actually in
service. They had no home, no head
quarters, but actually held their roll
calls in the office of DR.. 1. p. Davis.
Shortly thereafter, they moved to
temporary quarters, all or 8 of
them. to 9S4 (rear) NV End ave.
Sgt. Roy Tanner, (now Detective
1t. Tanner) was in charge of the
Negro precinct, ably assisted by
Sgt. George Allen. Personnel of this
new bureau within the Miami Police
department increased slowly, until
IN l94S there were 20 Negro police.
men, one White Commanding Off.
Ger and 3 White Desk Officers.
Lieut.. j. T. Griffin was assig~d
TO command the Negro precinct in
september, 1948. Shortly thereafter
authorization was granted for an in.
crease in personnel of 10 additional
patrolmen, and a regular 24-noln
patrol was inaugurated in Coconut
Grove. Serious crimes fell off. Grim.
lnals were apprehended soon after
their crimes, and better conditions
prevailed. Sergeant Allen was again
assigned to assist 1t. Griffin, and
one additional White officer was
named to serve at the precinct.
The personnel at this precinct
overflowed the facilities available at
their headquarters. Noticeable to all
was the lack Of space, lockers, and
the general dilapidated condition of
the precinct station. The only ans
wer seemed to be new quarters. and
preferably their own building. With
this in view, the Chief of Police.
walter E. Headley, the City Mana.
ger, DR.. o, p. Hart, and the city
commissioners were contacted nv
civic leaders of this area. A
thorough survey disclosed that the
needs were not exaggerated, that a
new building was imperative to
house this growing police depart
ment within a police department.
cooperation was freely given all
along the line plans were drawn
for a new building to house the Ne
gro Precinct as well as a court room
to be presided over by Negro
judge. Sgt. c. B. Kindred was assign
ed to the precinct, giving them ono
Commanding Officers for each of
the S-hour shifts. Four additional
Negro patrolmen were authorized.
and patrol started in Liberty City.
Contract has now been awarded
Chauker Brothers for construction of
this new modern Negro precinct sta.
ton. Work is being started at once.

for that class. 1t was also brought
out that required standerds in the
local school are on a par with the
hest high schools in the state and
gave local graduates a standing on
a level with those Of any other high
school.
Mr.. Owen pointed out that most
people fail to recognize how many
of the high school graduates get
married soon after graduation,
without acquiring any further edu-
cation; which would seem to indi-
cate the need for a course of train
ing on responsibilities of citizen
ship and family life. He presented
figures showing the result of a
resume Of what has happened to
graduates of the Glass of 48: as Of
Oct. 1st., 1948, the figures show
