Although offences which were brought to court show a greater number than last year, this does not really mean that crime is on the increase in Plymouth, as a great number of these were violations of the automobile laws.
One great problem which confronts our Department with the small force which we have at present is the great amount
-196-
of automobile travel which passes through this town during the summer months. At times it is difficult to get an officer with experience in traffic duty to take care of the automo- biles and pedestrians at busy corners when needed.
Compared with the Police Forces maintained in other towns of the country according to population ours is the smallest numerically, we have less than one policeman for each 2,300 of the population. The average throughout the country is one for each 1,000, and in most cities it is one for every 600 people.
The Policeman on duty is more heavily burdened with duties and responsibilities than the average citizen has any idea of. Among other things he must familiarize himself with buildings on his route and their occupants; he must watch for violations of the law which are numerous ; he must preserve order, protect juveniles, watch for criminals or the criminally inclined, and anticipate and prevent crime. Pa- trolmen are also called upon to employ sound judgment in accident cases involving injury to life and property in some of which the town might be liable.
Practically every incident furnishes something new in the way of police duty or in human nature. The patrolman is often called upon to be both judge and jury and to exercise diplomacy. In this brief review it would be impossible to state adequately the variety of problems they meet and solve every day.
The need of a Police Signal System seems to be growing stronger every day, and therefor, I respectfully recommend that you give the matter of providing this department with such a system your earnest consideration.
I respectfully recommend an appropriation of $17,000 for the year 1923.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN ARMSTRONG, Chief of Police.
