Report of the Chief of Police
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town Hall, Milford, Mass.
Gentlemen:
It is my pleasure to submit the following report of arrests and other duties performed by your Police De- partment during the year of 1954.
The Town of Milford was honored by the American Automobile Association with a citation for our program of Pedestrian Accident Control. The Town was also honored
[125]
by the National Safety Council in recognition of its ac- complishments in completing the year of 1953 without a fatal motor vehicle traffic accident within the Municipal Limits. Our Safety program is under the direction of Sgt. James J. Curley, Safety Officer. I feel I should also note that for the year 1954 there was not a fatal accident within the Town Limits, for which we are all very grateful.
Sgt. John J. McGrath, Director of the Auxiliary Po- lice Unit has continued the fine program for 1954 and they proved during the Hurricanes Edna and Hazel how essential they can be in an emergency, for without their assistance, we in the Police Department would have been sorely taxed.
Patrolmen Edward J. Sullivan and Donald Small were graduated from the Police Officers Training School, sponsored by the Mass. Police Chiefs Asso., and conducted by the State Police Training School at Framingham, Mass. We commend the School and hope to continue our policy of sending our men to the school.
Your Police Department was also cited by the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary, Department of Massachusetts, for our efforts in abolishing objectionable Comic Books in the Town of Milford, and with your assistance we can continue to keep our news stands free of this type of literature.
Recommendation is respectfully made that Police Call Boxes be installed on Main and Central Streets for the protection of the public and the patrolmen on those beats.
Recommendation is also made that the cells in the lock-up be replaced, as they have outlived their usefulness and have been condemned by the State Department of Public Health, for years.
It is my pleasure to report that since May 31, 1952 we have not had a Fatal Motor Vehicle accident in the
[126]
