100 SOUTHERN CITIES NOW
HAVE NEGRO POLICEMEN

birmingham Ala, June g.
More than 100 Southern cities now
employ Negro policemen; however,
the majority of these law officers
are restricted to patrolling colored
sections. Nevertheless, the hiring
of Negro policemen has proved
satisfactory.
These facts were brought out in
a report on survey conducted re-
Gently by Paul Jones, secretary
of the interracial committee here.
The survey showed that while
a few southern cities had Negro
policemen before 1910, most towns
did not take the step until the end
of World War II.
"Many more cities will begin
utilizing them when they consider
how useful to both races they are"
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1955-06-11

Jones asserted.
Among those southern cities
which have colored law officers
are:
Galveston and Austin, Tex; Day
tona Beach, Fla; Louisville, KY;
Charlotte and Durham, N. C. All
had them prior to the end of World
War II.
Cities which hired them since
that time include Savannah and
Augusta, Ga; Mobile and Mont
gomery, Ala; Gulfport, Miss, and
Norfolk, Va.
The concensus of officials is that
the presence of Negro policemen
gives colored persons a sense of
Security" It also has reduced
tensions and frictions, they say.
