Harrison who has been with The Boston Police
Dept for the past IL years, is the first woman in
thrty-five years to be assigned to homicide in
vestigation Although attached to Headquarters -
she was requested by Capt. John H. Cloran of Sta
ton for duty and assigned to work with we'll
known Officer Joseph w. Williams ST.. of that Sta
ton. Capt. Cloran is to be commended for his afor-
thought in assigning two of his most capable cour-
teouS aides to that needs tact, courtesy and
intelligence in the process of delving into the lives
of those associated with the deceased person I'm
sure that their work will aid the promotion of
more of our members, to higher ranks on the forces
because of their capabilities So far we have only
one detective - Mr. Fred Mclean. So let's hope
maybe Miss Harrison and Mr.. Williams will be re-
cipientS of promotion - Incidentally - Speak
