The request for a Police Signal System is repeated again this year and I urge favorable consideration. Last year's report set forth many of the advantages which the town would derive from the system, showing that it would in- crease the efficiency of this department immeasurably.
The matter has been given further consideration and specifications and estimates prepared which are definite and may be used to contract for the installation of such system.
The following is a list of a few of the Cities and Towns which are similar in population to Plymouth and who have recently installed the Police Signal System.
Population
9 Police boxes and
11 flashlights
Middletown, Conn.
13,638
15 Boxes and
So. Manchester, Conn.
13,400
11 Klaxon horns.
20 Boxes and
Belmont, Mass.
10,749
19 Recall stations.
Gardner, Mass.
16,971
7 Bell lights.
14 Boxes,
West Springfield, Mass.
13,443
9 Bell lights and
3 Flashlights.
Winthrop, Mass.
13,455
14 Boxes and
12 Flashlights.
A Police Signal System such as we are contemplating would increase the efficiency of this department at least forty per-cent.
I therefore respectfully recommend an appropriation of $12000. for the installation of a Police Signal System.
I will again renew my recommendation that the rank of sergeant be installed in this department, he to take charge of the night officers and all night duties in general.
16 Boxes and
1
179
As the business of the Police Department is gradually in- creasing from year to year, I therefore recommend that the number of regular Police Officers be increased from six (as now is) to ten.
I respectfully recommend an appropriation of $24,000.00 to defray the expenses of this department for the year 1925.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN ARMSTRONG,
Chief of Police.
