Albany, N. Y. A great propor
tion of the money appropriated for
control of crime in this country
should be used to maintain larger
better trained and better paid police
forces, according to recommendations
contained in a report just made pub
lic by the sub-commission on police
of the Baumes Crime Commission.
Control of crime is one of the most
important problems in the Unitec'
States and costs the country about
$13,000,000,000 a year, including the
expenses of maintaining jails, courts
police and the loss involved through
stolen goods and all erintinal activi
ties, the report says.
Prisons Could Be Reduced
If a larger share of the appropria
tions for crime control were ex
pended on improving and increasing
the police forces, the report asserts,
fewer prisons would be needed, there
would be less stolen goods and e
smaller number of law infractlonr
generally. "It would be just a shift
ing of money to get better results,"
it adds.
The report urges establishment of
police training schools under the di
rection of the State and recommends
that members of the police force whe
seek advancement should be required
to attend a school for police which
conforms with the standards set by
the board of regents. A few police
training schools have already been
established, it says, and more of a
similar nature should be provided
the courses of training to start before
police officers have arrived at the
grades of lieutenant, captain, inspec
tor or equivalent rank. The report
recommends that two policemen be
provided for every 1000 inhabitants
and continues:
"One way to prevent crime is Ic
have better and more policemen
made better by education and a pro
per understanding of their work, and
also to have them trained to lead
and educate the public to a better
understanding of the prevention of
crime. The proposition is so simple
that an argument is hardly necessary
to prove the need for more and better
trained police."
Need of Courtesy Is Showen
The report calls atteniron to the
importance of courtesy in police
work and declares that this should
form a special course of instruction
in the training schools.
"People seldom give a thought to
the fact that 90 per cent of the time
of policemen is given to the law
abiding citizen in servrng him and
protecting him and that courtesy is
one of the great assets of the police
department," it says. Otner courses'
in the training schools would include
instruction on how trials are con
ducted, how to be a witness, the var
ious kinds of crime, traffic rules and
how to safeguard evidence.
