Traffic
One of the greatest problems that confronts a city of our size and situated as we are, is the effective regulation of traffic and since that responsibility has been mine I have given it careful study and attention.
Figures and facts show that our efforts were not in vain and the number of accidents show our traffic and cycle officers have done their part most efficiently, but it is regrettable that such a large number of accidents are caused by the carelessness and in- difference of the victims.
The traffic problem will, in a short time, be a serious matter and must remain in the hands of the police to regulate. I believe the time has arrived that their suggestions should be given con- sideration in the question of highway planning for the future.
The recent establishment of the Traffic Ordinance was a long step toward safety and efficiency, and while some parts were in the nature of an experiment, we will necessarily soon ask for amend- ments as well as a few additional regulations.
Liquor Law
Early in the year it was found necessary to detail a man es- pecially to the enforcement of the liquor law. Inspector Larkin was chosen because of his experience in former years. The results accomplished by him have been very gratifying. This branch of police work more than ever before requires determination and ceaseless vigilance.
Under existing laws it is more difficult than ever before to successfully minimize the number of "Bootleggers" and "Moonshine Manufacturers." The few following figures speak well for this branch of the department:
Arrests for Liquor Law Violations for 1920 25
Arrests for Liquor Law Violations for 1921. 85
Detective Bureau
I cannot express too well my appreciation of the work done by this branch of the department in charge of Sergeants Daniel H. Doran and John J. Avery.
My own years of experience in this branch have shown me the determination and long hours required to accomplish such results as these men have shown during the past year.
They have worked honestly and faithfully, paying the same at- tention to the small case as to the large or seemingly more impor- tant ones given them for investigation.

Discipline
It is well known that nothing will so demoralize the efficiency of a department so quickly and completely as the absence of rigid but fair discipline.
When I assumed charge of this department, I immediately sought to acquaint the officers with knowledge of my determination to first demand strict discipline, but that I was equally determined to administer "The Square Deal" in dealing with them.
I also showed them that the faithful and efficient discharge of their various duties required uprightness and truthfulness, and that like all other members of the force they may hope to rise to higher positions through their activity and good conduct. Also that ad- vanced positions are filled by men who began at the bottom and so far as it is possible for me to enforce, promotions will be influ- enced by no consideration except the merit of the man.
They were also shown that the detailing of street sergeants was not alone for the purpose of detecting the violation of depart- ment rules, but to aid and advise them as they deserved in reach- ing the standard of efficiency which citizens expect.
I am sure the officers profited by the advice and that they now know that the merit of the man is always my first consideration, and I am also sure the good fellowship, keen, but friendly rivalry among the men can only produce good results.
Equipment
The department is better equipped than at any time and never before were all members equipped and armed as required by rules and ordinances.
Every member is today equipped with the highest type of weapon and other equipment required by the rules.
We are also provided with a machine gun furnished us free of charge when the Quincy Home Guard disbanded; also about forty repeating riot guns which came into our possession after the World War and an adequate supply of ammunition.
Some of these guns are now placed secure, in proper contain- ers, in different sections of the city, and are easily accessible to the officers should an emergency require their use.
Proper emergency tools for drowning accidents have been long wanted and today I believe we are safely equipped including a proper and safe boat now almost ready.
Most of our equipment and improvement has been produced by the good and co-operative spirit among the men, among whom are many good mechanics.
The department patrol wagon could not be improved. Our three motorcycles were purchased new last year but are in excel- lent condition. The Chief's automobile, though two years old, has been driven about 18,000 miles and is now in excellent condition. The only serious drawback today is our old Knox patrol auto of 1909 vintage, which has outlived its usefulness.
Three powerful searchlights of late pattern, for use on raids, search for lost children, and even in the deep water of the many quarry holes in which we are often compelled to grapple for drowned persons have been provided.

REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
We have recently added a section to our badly crowded garage which gives us considerable relief in that department.
During the present year we have added to our list of signal stations a signal box on Penn's Hill at High Street, another on Sea near Palmer, while another is now being installed at Squantum.

Recommendations
Considerable publicity has been given the question of a more suitable location and building for this department; also the addi- tion to the force of a matron and woman investigator. If the claims advanced appear justified, I sincerely hope early action will be taken.
I earnestly recommend that consideration be given my claims for a new medium priced vehicle for relief work of many kinds

REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
concerning which I would be glad to explain. This automobile would take the place of the old Knox car built for this department in 1909.
Conclusion
I desire to express thanks and appreciation for kindly advice and assistance given me during the year by His Honor Mayor Bradford, the members of the City Council, the Honorable Judge Albert E. Avery, the associate judges, and all attaches of our court. And to our City Auditor and City Clerk, also their assistants on whose kindness I have to indulge in operating the affairs of this department, I am thankful for many favors.
To the public, I am appreciative for many acts and expressions of confidence in the work done by this department and I sincerely hope our efforts to serve the public will merit continued approval.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED W. GOODHUE, Chief of Police.
