What is Wrong With the Police?
(.Continued from Page 3)
Government Secret Service, however,
does not reckon time, but results.
Tho cardinal rule of a secret'serv-
Ico agent Is Oct your man! It may
take a month, a year, five years, but
a case is never closed until a definite
goal is reached. This is why the
United States Secret Service has for
years maintained a record of eighty
five or more per cent of convictions
in the cases entrusted to its opera
tives a record which has not been
surpassed by nny other police organi
zation In tho world.
When, therefore, tho two suspects
walked from tho custody of the New
York police, they did not leave tho
espionage of tho Secret Service. This
espionage, it should be made clear
at tho outset, was inspired by other
reasons than the murder of Bene
detto Madonia. Had there not been
a strong suggestion of counterfeiting
operations in the records of tho sus
pected worthies, the secret service
department also would have been
compelled to abandon the case, g
tho constitution imposes positive
boundaries to tho duties of the na
tional police.
C USPICIONS of bad money nctiv-
itles on tho part of tho two Ital
ians proved well-founded. Gradual
ly' wo were able to establish tho
fact that the pair were directing
tlie movements of a large and ag
gressive gang of counterfeiters,
with four headquarters, one on the
East Sldo of New York City, an
other in Brooklyn, a third in
I'oughkecpsie, and still another In
tho woods near Highland, a Hud
son river village. The organiza
tion wbb manufacturing and dis
tributing spurious two-dollar and
five-dollar bills, marketing their
product principally by sales to
small Italian merchants over the
country at a rate of thirty-five
cents on tho dollar. One day we
found fifteen hundred dollars In
bogus bills under a bed in a de
serted East Sido lodging room,
from which the tenants had just
lied. Of tho devious twists in our
zigzagging trail this article has no
direct concern. Tho statement will
be sufficient that at the end of
seven years wo located a printer,
who had been escorted at the point
of a gun to a hut in the woods near
Highland and forced to finish certain
engraving details of a large quantity
of counterfeits. Under his guidance
wo followed tho path he had taken,
surrounded the headquarters of the
gang, and caught both of our men
literally red-handed. They were given
respectively thirty and twenty-five
year penal sentences. Incidentally,
It was tho general conviction of their
guilt in tho Madonia murder case
which had much to do with tho se
verity of the court finding.
This Illustrates another business
lack In our police administration. Of
course, there, should have been no
reason for a breajc In the investiga
tion of the Madonia murder even
with the release of the suspects. Jus
tice had not been satisfied. Certainly
tho full' functions".' of tho police had
not been discharged. The answer Is
that-our police do not possess a "follow-up"
system, ono of the first requi
sites of a business organization.'
Reflection will emphasize the Im
portance of this point even to tho
layman. The protection ot society Is
a task of necessarily Infinite detail,
of bewildering windings. While any
thing like a completo card Index of
human wickedness is, of course, im
possible, yet it Is obvious that the
tabulation of the known law-breaker
destroys halt of his menace if this
tabulation be one of action as well
as of paper. The harnessing of the
persistent criminal Is not the esplon
ago of a year, but ot a lifetime. It is
not the feverish activity of a moment
that will lay him by the heels, but tho
machtnc-llko watchfulness of a sys
tem that does not reckon time. And
this means the reorganization ot our
police departments on a business
foundation, with a business equip
ment. The worth of our pollco is not
only detection but protection.
To make over our pollco depart
ments, we must eliminate politics.
Otherwise It will bo a good deal like
trying to get rid of a defectlvo sew
age system by covering tho bad drain
age pipes with a new concrete arch
and pretending that because we can't
see them they don't exist. A business
police administration, with a polit
ical handicap, is Impossible. The po
lice chief must know that ho is as
free to do his work as though he were
the manager of a private detective
bureau. And tho men under him must
know tho same must know that It
is ability and not "pull" that counts.
The American police department Is
divided into two broad divisions, the
uniformed force, and tho pla,ln
clothes Bquad. It Is tho present rule
It cau ilit the eye of a farmer in a
Texai pottoffice
that a man can join the latter only
after he has served time in the uni
formed ranks, that he must first walk
a beat. In other words, our detective
department is merely an organization
of policemen out of uniform.
Wo nro forgetting that there is a
wide difference between a cop and a
detective. The former maintains
public order, guards property and
person from obvious marauders,
clears congested crossings. The de
tective must be viewed from quite an
other angle. He must see that the
man who has threatened the public
safety is brought to justice, must rea
son from effect to cause, must find
tlie trail of tho criminal, and follow
it to his lair. His, work Is largely
mental the other is largely me
chanical. The cop is always in the
public eye. Tho successful detective
should be as far from It as possible.
A detectivo force of a hundred gradu
ate policemen, with square-toed shoes,
fat pouches, bristling black mous
taches, Is of little more benefit than
were those men pacing beats. Tho
criminal spots them a block away.
Even the most casual bystander can
guess their calling. Some of tho most
efficient operatives of tho Govern
ment Secret Service are known to no
man in tho department but the chief.
Not bo much as a hint of their iden
tity has ever reached the public.
Were they known, seventy-five per
cent ot their usefulness would vanish.
Any improvement of police condi
tions must mean a revolution in the
personnel of tho detective force. Wo
must eliminate at tho outset the ab
surd restriction of preliminary an
