We now have the Police Signal System installed and in operation since last September which is working very satisfactory. Already it has proved itself to be one great step towards efficiency. There is an officer at the desk in the Police Station at all times, should a call come in at any time during the day or night this officer will
-179-
respond immediately. For the protection of the public and the efficiency of this department it is essential that we have another car so that when one car is out on some case, another car will be ready should an emergency call come in. I therefor respectfully recommend that another car be purchased for this department and police work in general.
This department has two motorcycles, one is five and the other is two years old, both machines have been run a great many thousand miles and are worn considerably. To have them repaired would cost perhaps more than one would care to spend on old machines. I do believe that we would be using good judgment and practicing economy if we should trade those two machines in for one new one and be fully equipped for the summer traffic.
The liquor situation has received strict attention dur- ing the past year. The report shows a gradual increase of liquor violations over the previous year. I respect- fully call your attention to the fact that this depart- ment has searched twenty-seven places for liquor which are not included in the within report as the defendants were not brought before the court.
The officer who patrols the Manomet district during the summer months has a large area to cover. His effi- ciency would be multiplied many times if he had a small car to cover this territory. I recommend that this sug- gestion be given your earnest consideration for the com- ing season.
The conception many people have of police work, gained from the movies and sensational newspaper stor- ies is of a crusty, crabbed official at the police station desk who, bellows at you when you come in, "What do you want?" If that ever was the custom it is not so today. Those officials know they are there for service and they render it in every possible way. The same is true of the policeman on the street. A patrolman is of- ten the first person a stranger speaks to, and the im- pression formed is liable to gauge his estimate of the
1
-180-
entire city or town and that is one reason why each offi- cer is instructed to render the utmost service and cour- tesy to those with whom he comes in contact, and it is surprising how many legal questions of various kinds they are asked. The police must be diplomatic in dealing with those whom misfortune often renders most unrea- sonable; the large amount of common sense with which most police officers are endowed enables them in many cases to render real service.
I respectfully recommend an appropriation of $27,500 to defray the expenses of this department for the year 1926.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN ARMSTRONG, Chief of Police.
