    Interview with Captain Wilford Swinney Interviewer: Kerry Owens Transcriber: Kerry Owens Date of Interview: March 31, 1986 Location: Austin Police Department, Austin, TX _____________________ Begin Tape 1, Side 1 Kerry Owens: This is Kerry Owens, and I’m doing an interview for Southwest Texas State University, the Oral History Project, in the History Department. This is March thirty-first. It’s 9:00. I’m at the Austin Police Department, and I’m interviewing Captain Wilford— Wilford Swinney: W-I-L-F-O-R-D and the last name is S-W-I-N-N-E-Y. Owens: Wilford Swinney. He’s been with the Austin Police Department for quite some time. Captain Swinney and I have discussed the legalities of the interview and the options he has available as far as editing, that type of thing. I don’t think at this point he has any questions. Do you think it’s pretty clear, Captain Swinney, as far as how we’re going to conduct the interview? Swinney: Yes, it’s clear now. Owens: I guess I’ll start the interview by asking Captain Swinney when he started to work for the Austin Police Department, or if he did something prior to that. Are you from Austin originally? Swinney: Well, I came here at the age of five. I was born in a place called Burnet County, and the nearest town at that time was Bertram. I was born about two miles south of Bertram, off of Highway 29, old Highway 29. It doesn’t exist any longer. The new Highway 20 goes through there now.

Its purpose is to meet the demand for trained personnel in the relief organizations of the State and because such a demand constitutes a challenge to the University to make available its resources of staff, libraries, and equipment for the fostering of a training program. It is a recognition of the fact that social work offers a wide variety of opportunities to prepared men and women and that such men and women are few in Texas compared with the great present demand. Every day it is becoming increasingly apparent that the situation· we are presently in has ceased to he an emergency and that the problems of relief and rehabilitation require for their efficient handlihg long-time planning and the trained skill of an adequate personnel. The Social Service Institute will offer to the social workers and other interested and qualified persons in Texas and the South· west an intensive program of courses, lectures, and field work that will combine technical guidance and intellectual stimulation with an opportunity for recrea­ tion in the ideal surroundings of the "newer" University of Texas.
