April, 1965 Voh 9, No. 2 Sheriff on the Air

MIAMI —Dade County Sheriff T. A. Buchanan is the safety-minded co-pilot of motorists pouring in and out of Miami during peak rush hours. The safety education section of his department broadcasts safety warnings and information about traffic condi- tions over six local radio stations each morning and afternoon when traffic is heaviest, and motorists get the message through their car radios.

During 1964 the safety education section, headed by Sgt. Harold GrifFin, aired 5,014 of these reports —direct and live over radio and television. (That's Sgt, Griffin on the cover broadcasting over station WIOD. ) WFAB, a Spanish language radio station, is the newest addition to the Sheriff's "network" and serves a "Latin" popu- lation of over 150,000 in Dade County. The Sheriff's safety broadcasts over this station were selected as the best public service programs in Spanish for 1964. Other stations in the "network" are WFUN, WGBS, WEDR and WQAM.

Writing of the Florida Sheriffs Asso- ciation midwinter conference here, he observed: "The place was full of sheriffs of many shapes and sizes. As best we could learn, not one of Ithem has gone galloping off "thataway" in recent years. They don't head their men off at the pass anymore, either. Powerful patrol cruisers, airplanes and boats do the job quicker and beltter. " Pointing to the changed role of the ')HI!or sheriff, he observed: "He's still 'the most n t& powerful local law enforcement officer and the one closest to the people. He' s an organizer now —an administrator- and law enforcement isn't his only job. "We are thinking of crime prevention.

Florid'a Sheriffs Boys R'anch is a fine example of that sorit of thing, the writer concluded after talks with Ed Black- burn, former sheriff of Hillsborough County and one of 'the "founding fathers" of the ranch, and Harry K.
