ANNUAL REPORT


Frederick H. Blanck Chief


Report of the Police Department


To His Honor, the Mayor and the Municipal Council:


Gentlemen:


I hereby respectfully submit a report of the receipts and expenses together with a detailed report of the work of the Police Department of the City of Attle- boro during the year 1938.


Financial Statement


The appropriations for the department and the expenditures for the year 1938 are in summary as follows:


Appr.


Trans.


Total $50,125.00 4,480.00


Expended $49,894.73


Salary and Wages.


$50,125.00


Maintenance of Equip.


4,250.00


230.00*


4,479.87


Other Expenses.


2,470.00


2,470.00


2,469.87


New Equipment.


605.00


346.20


951.20


951.20


Committing Prisoners.


500.00


100.00


600.00


541.20


*Transferred from Salary and Wages account.


Remarks


Crime which has been at a minimum in our city for several years has still been reduced due to the way the officers have performed their duties. 90% of our crimes have been cleared by our Inspectors' Division.


Homes have been checked day and night where occupants have been away and in no instances has there been a break in the homes that have been checked. I believe the public is realizing the benefit of reporting homes vacant while away.


Our accident rate for the year has been better than in previous year, having cut down on fatalities and personal injuries considerably. This can only be controlled by motor patrols.


Recommendations


I recommend that we increase our department in number by five regular patrolmen and at least two cruisers with two-way radio sets, as we all know that the territory that we have to cover is a large one and we need to be in as close a contact as possible with our officers.


I would also recommend that a call box be placed at the corner of Holden and Bank Streets and the corner of Pine and Maple Streets.


62


ANNUAL REPORT


In Conclusion


At this time I desire to express my appreciation to His Honor Mayor H. Winslow Brown and members of the Municipal Council for the courtesy and consideration shown to this department; also to Judge Ralph C. Estes and his associates, John W. McIntyre, Walter A. Briggs and Clerk of Court, Edwin F. Thayer, who have so willingly aided me in the police work during the past year.


I wish to thank Edmund H. Gingras, Inspector of Motor Vehicles, and his department who have been ready and willing at all times to cooperate with my department.


Respectfully submitted, Frederick H. Blanck, Chief of Police.
