YEAR ENDING JUNE 30.

7-? $4} ‘9 ~ Jim 26, 1912. TO THE HONORABLE COUNCILMEN OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: GENTLEMEN:

I herewith submit my annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, together with such information and statistics as could be assembled, showing the work and roster of the Police Department of the City of Los Angeles, the changes

made, innovations, and recommendations I deem necessary for the continuance of the service the Police Department has given the city in the year. Respectfully, C. E. SEBASTIAN, Chief of Police. a -+ *'”""’<-".*E'=#._'~'- 4 ANNUAL REPORT EMINENTLY SATISFACTORY I have not one word of criticism to uttcr against the work of the members of the Los Angeles Police Department in the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1912. Their work has been eminently satisfactory and consistently good. The service the division commanders, commanders of the sub-stations and bureau chiefs have given the city and the taxpayers has been higher than the average. As men and police ofiicials they are above criticism and invariably are wideawake, loyal, ener getic and trustworthy. The primary object of a police depart. ment is the prevention of crime. In this the Los Angeles patrol men, police detectives and the policewomen have accomplished a great deal, their efiorts injthis direction having attracted the attention of the judiciary and the bar as well as that of munici palities and many civic organizations. The next object of having a police department is that of the detection of offenders after crime is committed. That the tLos Angeles Police Department has won an enviable name in the pursuit of and the capture of criminals is known to each of you. It has been a pleasure to learn of the words of praise and coin mendation uttered by the police commanders of other cities for this department. This, more than anything else, shows that the Los Angeles policemen and detectives are held in esteem and are respected elsewhere as at home. The efficiency of the police department is revealed in accompanying reports and the t.".buIated forms, each of which is a story in itself. GENERAL DISCIPLINE To obtain these results it is absolutely necessary to have and maintain general discipline. The discipline enforced has been of a character that fully accomplished these objects. How to obtain such discipline is one of the most dificult problems the Chief of Police has to solve. Good police work in the preven tlon of crime and the detection of violators of the laws and ordinances does not obtain when there is dissension and jeal uusies. Los Angeles’ Police Department has been freer from these in the past year than at any time in its history. PERSONAL INTEREST A kindly interest in the personal welfare of the members of the Police Department and the exercise of a supervision which encouraged energy. self-reliance and fearlessness as wcll as con fidence in those in authority—this carrying with it the l

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 5 of such a policy is proved by the splendid records shown. In addition, it has caused the patrolmen to take pride in keeping their uniforms neat and clean, and they have, with exceedingly few exceptions, been courteous and kind to persons seeking their assistance and advice. Visiting police officials and citizens often time have noted this, the work of the police in time of conven tions and street parades receiving their encomiums. ADDITIONAL PATROLMEN AND DETECTIVES The work of the year and the almost numberless demands. requests for additional assistance in the several police branches, and extension of police protection to residence districts annexed recently compels me to urge the necessity of providing at least 100 patrolmen and ten police detectives. More could be used and even then, Los Angeles would not possess the number of patrolmen and detectives employed in cities not exceeding it in area of square miles and population. In this connection I want to call attention to the wisdom. nay. the necessity of establish ing an additional sub-station in the neighborhood of Central and Vernon avenues. This locality is central and it would greatly facilitate the work performed in the University and Boyle Heights Divisions were another sub-station provided. I respect fully advise that a site for this station be purchased without delay. GONG AND “FLASHLIGHT” SYSTEM The gong system at the street intersections in the com-i mercial and congested districts has been tested in other cities. So has the red signal or “flashlight” system been "tried-out" in residential districts, here .as elsewhere. Both have proved their value in the suppression and correction of crime. The gongbell is of incalculable benefit in police work in the commer cial districts. the sound of the bell calling the attention of the patrolmen on the beat and the policemen detailed at the cross ings, informing him that his personal attention is required. The “flashlight” system has been in operation in this city for sev eral years. the owners being nightwatchmen. The flashing of red signal lights in residential districts possessing them has greatly assisted in the apprehension of criminals bent on house breaking or highway robbery. SUB-STATIONS FOR MOTORCYCLE POLICE To facilitate police service in residential districts in which the police patrol is insuflicient--this due to the lack of patrolmen —I have established sub-stations for motorcycle policemen. The 6 _ ANNUAL REPORT value of this special call-service, which is directed from the Division headquarters, has been amply demonstrated. A perusal of the attached table showing the number of calls received and miles traveled by the motorcycle “call-men" attests this state ment. The citizens and taxpayers appreciate this service, which afiords them a sense of protection they otherwise would not possess. It is my plan to establish additional sub-stations for the motorcycle service in Garvanza, Boyle Heights, Hollywood and Wilshire districts after July 1, 1912. CHANGE IN MOUNTED SERVICE Observations taken in other cities have caused me to con sider the advisability of withdrawing a part of the mounted policemen from the outlying districts and transferring at_least [our of the squad to the congested district where the work of protecting the pedestrian public and directing the movement of vehicles has increased to an enormous extent. I do not believe it feasible to withdraw the mounted ofiicers from the hilly dis tricts, it being almost impossible for prompt and rapid motor cycle police service in these localities, but I do deem it necessary to transfer several of the mounted squad from the level road districts to the commercial district. I have in contemplation a plan to detail mounted policemen between the street intersections in Spring street and Broadway, and to fill the vacancies created in the outlying district by motorcycle police. (Note: This change has been efiected and the mounted police have effectually aided in handling the trafiic on the streets of the business section of the city.) “CITIZEN POLICEMEN” There is no question as to the value of “Citizen Policemen.” Those familiar with police service, especially in cities where the growth in population is rapid. know that it is almost impossible to give satisfactory and complete police protection in the newer districts; also, that many minor offenses pass undetected and go unpunished because of the fact that the average citizen does not care to act, because he feels he has no authority to make arrests or utter warnings when a law or ordinance is violated in his presence. Several months ago, the question and advisability of seeking council legislation enabling me to appoint ZOO “citizen police men,” who would serve without pay and who would not be en titled to street car transportation gratis, was considered. The plan received the approval of the Honorable Board of Police Commissioners. and the _City Attorney was authorized by the

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 7 Honorable City Council to draft an ordinance providing for the appointment of the “citizen policemen.” Since the plan was proposed I have received 800 applica tions from reputable citizens for appointment in this branch of police work. I solicited the applications in many instances, .thers came as volunteers. In the event these appointments are made, I believe it a good plan to select citizens whose homes or business places are in the outlying districts where regular police protection is insufficient; also to appoint well known men in all classes for special police work in closer-in communities because many of them are in a position to observe violations wl'liCh escape the patrolmen on the beat. Many prominent men—professional and business men and others who have retired from active life—have taken a lively interest in this plan. They have undertaken the study of police problems and the knowledge obtained by them from personal observations has furnished the police with valuable information and assistance. In nowise did they interfere with police work. Not one of the complaints filed by them concerning crime or ordinance violation had to do with a patrolman or a police de tective. STATISTICS OF VALUE The amazing growth of Los Angeles has not been marked ly a serious increase in crime and violations of ordinances. As a matter of fact the police oflicials in this city were quite agreeably surprised last winter when they scrutinized the crime reports and ascertained that the percentage of highway robberies, store and house burglaries and murders was less than that of the preceding winter. An efficient Detective Bureau and a well manned and excellently trained organization of captains, lieu tenants, sergeants and patrolmen made this possible. In one of the following tables you will find that the total number of arrests, convictions, cases dismissed or otherwise dis posed of totaled 34,561; that the amount of money received in fines and forfeitures of bail amounted to $140,000. and that the aalue of stolen and recovered property restored to the owners was $115,742.11. The total number of persons arrested on charges of intoxication was 16,517. Of this number 13.240 were released by the “Sunrise Court.” There were nineteen homicide cases investigated in the year. Eleven persons chargd with murder were held to answer. Eight were released from custody, the homicide proving justifiable. In showing that the work of the policeman is not always 8 ANNUAL REPORT directed to the end that he becomes offensive in demanding convictions where a warning suffices, I want to point to the fact that 17,045 complaints were dismissed. True, many of these had no foundation when taken into court, but a surprisingly large number of them were dropped because it was decided that a warning against a repetition of the offense was sufiicient. A NATIONAL UNIFORM AUTOMOBILE LAW Considerable study has been given the automobile-motor cycle problem. We, in Los Angeles, have not overlooked this question because the problem is before us day and night. The climate and good roads add to this branch of police work, causing the lovers of motor propelled vehicles to travel this way. The court sheets daily show arrests and convictions for violations of the city's anti-speed ordinances and other traffic regulations. At present the policemen are engaged in enforcing the ordinance regulatinig the use of mufflers. So many complaints were re ceived that it was necessary for a general order to be issued to the patrolmen on the beat to give heed to this class of violations. The publicity given the crusade assisted the police and today few violations are noticeable. Thanks to the Automobile Club of Southern California and the Automobile Dealers’ Associa tion, the word was passed that the members of these organiza tions would assist the police in enforcing the ordinance. If Providence and my duties do not interfere, I propose to {resent to the delegates assembled at the nineteenth annual con vention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, a paper urging a national uniform automobile speed law, one that will do away with the confusion resultant because of the almost innumerable laws and ordinances in sister states and cities; also, to ask that a uniform road rule be considered. These meas ures I deem necessary, and other police chiefs have assured me of their support. the paper (Note: Chief Sebastian presented at the convention re ferred to above, with the result that the plan for a Ul"lifOX-1’Tl automobile speed law was unanimously endorsed by the convention.) IN THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT The Police Department’s traffic squad is a most valuable adjunct in protecting pedestrians and directing the movement of \ehicles. While this is one of the largest tasks falling to this police branch, the forty policemen detailed to this squad have assisted in the general work of the Police Department. arresting many culprits who otherwise would have escaped. The number of arrests by members of this squad totaled 3025. The total t tt.i.|~l~i1

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 9 number of medical treatment cases passing through the hands of the traflic policemen amounted to 127 in the year. Thirty five lost children were restored to relatives. The total amount of fines assessed against persons arrested by members of the traflic squad was $25,439. Of these arrests 1297 were for viola tions of the traffic ordinance. Seven hundred and one men and \\ omen were arrested for violations of the anti-speed section of the ordinance. A few violators were compelled to serve jail sentences. However, the $16,615 fines collected and the jail sentences imposed does not seem to cause a decrease in the number of arrests and complaints. A WORD FOR THE JUVENILE BUREAU Owing to the character and number of cases receiving at tention by this bureau I want to emphasize the fact that there is no more important a branch in our service than that of the Police juvenile Probation Bureau. It is an old fashioned belief that the hand of the police is raised against the boy. It has been the <,lTOI’t of the members of this bureau to disabuse the citizens— fathers and mothers and guardians of children of this. The laws governing juveniles are too complex and stringent and should be revised and greatly modified. In past years juvenile offenders were dealt with as in cases wherein adults were concerned. That system, thank goodness, has been done away with and juveniles today are treated as delinquents instead of as criminals. Words are inadequate to describe my praise and satisfaction for the valuable work that is being done toward training children to live as law abiding men and women. VALUABLE SERVICE A most valuable service has been iven the city in the past year by the Metropolitan Squad. he plainclothesmen de tailed for duty here investigate all complaints against disorderly women and bawdy houses. Their work is to keep the city clean morally; to see that bawdy houses do not open, and that women do no solicit in the streets. Complaints against gambling houses and those engaged in the illegal sale of liquor are referred to the Metropolitan Squad. Other police work often falls to the lot of these officers, no man shirking his duty because it does not concern his immediate detail. Of the 2613 arrests made by the Metropolitan Squad for the fiscal year, 1213 convictions were obtained and $65,795 was paid in to the police courts in fines and bail forfeitures. 10 ANNUAL REPORT AN ENVIABLE RECORD Many difficult, intricate investigations were conducted dur ing the past year by the Detective Bureau. The majority of them were cleared up, and several are pending. One hundred and sixty fugitives from other cities and towns were arrested and given into the custody of the proper authorities. Seventy one fugitives from this city were traced to their hiding places and returned to Los Angeles. Owing to the small number of police detectives, it is impossible to give all the time necessary to every case and therefore, we are bound to make some failures, but the work of the police detectives, everything considered, has been such that the press and the public have praised them in terms. cities in the most laudable Few the world receive more - efficient detective service. One of the most important departments in the detective service is the Bureau of Identification. Los Angeles has one that is not excelled by any other Police Department in the United States. We know this because police_ofi‘icials from the larger cities oftentime have complimented our Identification Bureau and have requested copies of different branches of the card index system we use. The installation of the “finger print" system will greatly accelerate our detective work. (Note: The “finger print” system has been added to the Identification Bureau and has already proved a success.) THE PROPERTY CLERK In past years there were complaints against the methods employed in caring for and keeping records of the personal effects of prisoners, lost and found property and goods recovered in burglaries and similar cases. The reforms created in this bu reau have put an end to these complaints. The incumbent has proved a most satisfactory caretaker and his index form system has brought order out of chaos. The Property Clerk’s report shows that he handled property and money valued at $294,272.64 in the year. THE “CHINATOWN SQUAD” The federal and state authorities depend to a great extent upon the assistance of the plainclothesmen and uniformed officers in the “Oriental district" to assist them in their work of tracing the movements of contraband Chinese and Japanese. the shipment of opium, “slave” girls, and in watching the opera tions of and identifying spies. So far as the Police Department is directly concerned. the conditions in “Chinatown,” and in the district populated by the Japanese, are satisfactory. The LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 11 sanitary condition in both districts has been improved, this by the strict enforcement of the health ordinances. The opium traflic has been almost eradicated. The tong war difficulties which have prevailed in other Pacific Coast cities scarcely have been felt here. The policemen are vigilant day and night in suppressing fantan and lottery playing, and have greatly reduced these forms of gambling, so much so that those familiar with such affairs are amazed. The fact that leading Chinese gamblers, “slave” owners and prostitutes do not remain in Los Angeles is the best evidence of the efficiency of this special detail. LICENSE INSPECTION The work of the Police License Inspector has increased to a large extent in the year. A splendid showing has been made by this bureau, its financial statement revealing that $22,780.67 were collected in fines, delinquent licenses, back licenses and for new business. SAVES TIME AND MONEY The substitution of a Department Accountant for a Depart ment Secretary has proved a money and time saving departure. It now is possible to obtain accurate and intelligent information in a few minutes where under the old system it required hours to furnish it. The policy of placing this particular branch of the service in charge of a civilian who is required to give proof of his qualifications in a civil service test should never be abandoned. GROWTH OF ROUTINE BUSINESS As a further indication of the growth of the Police Depart ment, it is not out of place to state that the routine work of the Department has increased so rapidly that in the past two years and a half, I have been compelled to add five stenographers to our staff. Where one stenographer was able to care for the filing of records, correspondence and other routine matters, it now requires six to handle the daily business of the Department. HARBOR POLICE A sufficient number of police is stationed in the San Pedro “Harbor” district to take care of policing that community. The men working in that part of Los Angeles were selected for that detail. Thus far they have given splendid service and their work has been complimented by citizens and visitors who entered Los Angeles by way of the harbor. The need of a police patrol 12 ANNUAL REPORT boat has been spoken of several times. It is my opinion that such a patrol service should be provided, and I respectfully recommend that the Honorable Council provide it. WOMEN A SUCCESS IN POLICE WORK The practicability of employing women in police work has been demonstrated, Los Angeles’ policewomen having made good in every detail. Outside Police Departments have asked many questions concerning their work and several cities, after being supplied with information, have decided to enlist the services of women as police officers in juvenile and ordinance investi gators. THE JAILS The sanitary condition of the City jail and those at the Division stations is entirely satisfactory. The grand jury and civic organizations have inspected them at difi’erent periods. The only criticism presented was that the housing capacity was too limited for the present growth of the city. They stated, however. that they believed the housing would be sufiicient after the present improvements are completed. The addition to the Eastside jail will provide considerable room. This, with the rearrangement of the rooms and cells in the City ]ail build ing should provide ample accommodations for a period of from three to five years. Those acquainted with the improvement in progress at the City ]ail declare it will make it one of the model institutions of its kind. RELIGIOUS WORKERS AND THE “SUNRISE COURT” \’Vhile the subject of jails is before me I want to mention the work that the various churches and missionary organiza tions are doing in the City and Division jails and to speak of the operation of the “Sunrise Court." Each Sunday several bands of church workers and missionaries visit the jails and conduct services therein. The Rev. Edward Brady. always zealous and devoted in his reform and up-lift work, conducts a Catholic service in one of the police court rooms. lie has erected a portable altar, and this and a choir add interest and attend ance to his services. The members of the Protestant churches are equally energetic. The influence the religious workers have over the men and women prisoners is marked to a degree, and quite a number of the unfortunates have been assisted to better lives. The workers in the Young Men’s Christian Association conduct a special service each Tuesday for the prisoners de tailed to work on the chaingang. LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 13

The “Sunrise Court," an innovation established more than a year ago, continues in operation. Its success is not questioned as it has prevented many good men—men whose only fault was that they were intoxicated—losing their positions, the early hour of release enabling them to go to their places of employ ment at the usual hour. The officials of the Francis Murphy Association, the Francis Murphy junior League and the Bethle hem Institute have been and continue deeply interested in this method of caring for the welfare of these unfortunates. REFORM IN CHAINGANG WORK I have given considerable study to the proposition to do away with the chaingang. Scores of men and women prom inent in church and reform work have urged this and their argument bears weight. Several months ago the old system of conveying prisoners from the City jail to the Eastside jail, the housing place for men sentenced to serve day and month terms, was changed. In the old days it was the custom to transport the prisoners in open wagons. The present system provides for_their transportation in old patrol wagons, which are covered over. This prevents the prisoners suffering additional humilia tion and disgrace in the eyes of their curious fellowmen who assemble in front of the jail buildings every time the prisoners are being removed. In this fiscal year I expect to abolish other unpleasant features. It is proposed to employ men, sentenced to jail, in Griffith park at building roads and trails—this with your ap proval. This will remove the prisoners from the city streets and will enable the city to utilize their services to a good, if not a better advantage than has been employed. The plan under consideration provides that the prisoners shall eat and have sleeping quarters in the ranch houses in the park. (Note: This recommendation has been approved by the City Council.) MUNICIPAL INSTITUTIONS There is an urgent demand for a Municipal Farm, a Munici pal Lodging House and a Municipal Employment Bureau. Many splendid men and women support me in agitating these. Several. eastern cities have them and in few, if any instances, has failure marred the institutions. If good and honest managers are placed in charge, there can be no question concerning the success of the farm, house or bureau. Such institutions are valuable in many directions in police work, prevent crime and 14 ANNUAL REPORT pave the way to assist the indigent and ill. (Note: Plans are practically completed for the immediate estab lishment of the farm.) LIQUOR REGULATIONS Los Angeles has been commended by thousands of visitors for the manner in which the liquor traffic is regulated. Quite a number of them have informed me that the regulations enforced in this city are the best in the United States. They also compli mented the administration and the police for keeping this traffic so clean, not only in the personnell of those granted liquor licenses, but in compelling obedience to the sanitary or health ordinance. Police inspections of the saloons, wholesale liquor houses and restaurants possessing liquor licenses, have been conducted in the past year. The holders of the licenses in nowise objected to this inspection—as a matter of fact they welcomed and displayed interest in it. V\/here changes in doors, windows, lavatories and kitchens were ordered, there was a ready com pliance with such demands. NO DISORDER The city has been remarkably free from disorder growing out of strikes or disputes between employers and employes. The employed class in Los Angeles is one of the most law abiding in the United States, this because only the better class is given work. The majority of the skilled workers own their homes and possess bank accounts. As a rule they are contented and avoid controversies and agitators. INSPECTION AND DRILL It is my intention to do away with the custom of instructing the patrolmen in drill tactics at yearly intervals. This has proved an annoyance and operates as a hardship to all tconcerned. I am formulating a system whereby drill periods shall be held twice each month in the Police Divisions. The departmental drillmaster and the patrolmen favor this change. The splendid success of the annual inspection and drill held May 1, 1912, encouraged the commanders and their subordinates, and re vealed to each the necessity of continuing the yearly maneuvers, as well as proficiency in army tactics. REVOLVER PRACTICE The range in the basement of the Temple block has proved satisfactory and the patrolmen and police detectives frequently visit it. I would respectfully suggest that the city furnish the LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 15 ammunition—ten rounds a month to each officer. This would reduce the ofi’icer’s personal expense at the range and would impell interest in their making themselves more proficient in the use of firearms. CIVIL SERVICE I am strongly in favor of extending the civil service in the Police Department so that it reaches and protects every mem ber Who is detailed to special duty. This is a move in the right direction, and enables the ambitious who desire to specialize to protect the city and themselves from hasty action or ill-advised removal orders. INVESTIGATING OFFICER FOR POLICE COMMISSION WORK This detail of police work was made in the past year and is one that produces excellent results as well as accelerating the deliberations of the Board of Police Commissioners. The work in this particular department has increased by leaps and bounds in twelve months and demands constant attention. The investi gator is required to inquire into all applications for license per mits which are granted by the Police Commissioners. These include applications for liquor license, massage andbath, mag netic treatment, shooting gallery. billiard and pool hall, bowling alley, the medium and palmist, second hand and junk dealer, junk collector, livery and feed stable, stockyard and sales stables, dance hall, dancing academy, auctioneer and boxing permits. He investigates the character of the applicant, verifies the frontage, where frontages are required, and ascertains the views of citizens in whose residence or business locality the applicant seeks to establish him or herself. This task completed. he scrutinizes rooms or buildings the applicant plans to occupy and sees to it that they conform to the ordinances and the rules and regulations of the Police Commission. Signatures attached to protests are checked by him; also those appearing on frontage petitions. Accompanying most of the frontage petitions are plats of blocks, showing the frontage in the block and the frontage protested. He also makes such other investigations as the Police Commission and the Chief of Police may require. LEAGUE OF PEACE The police chiefs, sheriffs, city marshals and constables in other cities and counties in Southern California cooperate strongly and heartily with the Los Angeles Police Department 16 ANNUAL REPORT in every request for evidence and the apprehension of fugitives. In no instance has assistance or information been denied. This cooperation has been reciprocated in every possible direction. making the work of the authorities much easier and their rela tions pleasant. In this city last February was held an impromptu convention of the peace guardians in Los Angeles and adjoining counties—this at my suggestion. A splendid banquet was served at the Hollenbeck hotel. At the close of the speech making hour the League of Peace of Southern California was organized. The object of this organization is to encourage and keep alive the spirit of reciprocity and give encouragement and assistance when desired. MOTION PICTURE CENSOR BOARD Noteworthy work is being done by the Board of Censors for Motion Pictures. This has facilitated police work in the suppression of crime, because the Censor Board has enforced the ordinance regulating the display of photoplay films, pre venting the exhibition of pictures of highway and train rob bery, burglary, murder and other scenes that would tend to instruct or educate boys and youths in the use of weapons, vice and the schemery of adult criminals. The members of the Censor Board assemble at the Arrow theater each Tuesday between 9 and ll o’clock a. m., and there inspect and pass upon films. The average number of films passed upon at each session is seven. The police endeavor to prevent the display of crude and vicious placards and banners in front of a certain class of the motion play houses, using the advertising ordinance as a vehicle in warning and prosecuting the owner. CONCEALED WEAPONS In closing, I desire to direct the attention of the Honorable Council to the need of an ordinance permitting the better regu lation of the sale of weapons that can be concealed about the person, especially revolvers. I respectfully recommend that legislation along this line be considered at an early date. My suggestion is that the sale of such weapons be absolutely pro hibited unless the would-be purchaser has obtained a permit signed by the Police Commissioners or by the Chief of Police LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 17 ARRESTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING JULY 1, 1911, ENDING JUNE 30, 1912.

By reference to the attached statement it will be noted that there were 1297 arrests made for violations of the traffic ordin ance, exclusive of speed violations, for which violations $2944 was levied in fines. For misdemeanors other than traffic or dinance violations there were 995 arrests. Fines for these viola tions totaled $5811. Eleven arrests were made on felony charges; twenty-one on suspicion, and thirty-five lost children were returned to relatives. The 127 medical treatment cases include persons injured in accidents, those fainting in the street, insanity cases and cases of sudden illness.

The 701 arrests by the motorcycle squad for violations of the anti-speed ordinance, emphasizes the importance of this branch of the Police Department. The $16,615 imposed as fines, in addition to the number of jail sentences does not seem to diminish the number of “speeders” to an appreciable extent. The completion of each stretch of new pavement causes additional LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 23 complaints against speed maniacs followed by demands for relief from this dangerous pastime. When we take into consideration the fact that there are approximately 13,000 automobiles and 6000 motorcycles in daily use by the residents of our city; that there are 7000 automobiles registered to suburban residents within a radius of thirty miles, all of which frequently travel into the city,—the large percentage of them coming here daily,—and the further fact that this enor mous number is augmented at the rate of 530 automobiles and 220 motorcycles each month, we cannot well evade the question of the need of a larger motorcycle squad as well as a substantial increase in the number of traffic policemen. The data contained in the accompanying table was taken from the records~ of the Police Department and was, therefore, easily obtainable, but scores of accidents averted by the traffic policemen at the street intersections can never be definitely ascertained. In the past year several members of the Traffic Squad dis tinguished themselves for bravery and presence of mind in time of danger in stopping runaways and rescuing people from what seemed certain death beneath the wheels of street cars and vehicles. In making these rescues the policemen risked their lives, and though several were painfully injured, none of the injuries sustained resulted seriously. This calls to mind the fact that the position of the traffic officer is one of great hazard and that these men carry their lives in their hands. The number of arrests for felonies and misdemeanors, coupled with the fact that the fines assessed against this class of offenders, amounted to double that assessed against the vio lators of the traffic law, emphasizes the importance of the traffic as an auxiliary to the patrol branch in the apprehension squad - of offenders who otherwise might have escaped. AN ENERGETIC SQUAD The work of the Metropolitan Squad in the fiscal year has been such as to attract attention. It is one of the most important branches of the Police Department because of the fact that it is the special detail of this squad to conduct the investigation of complaints against prostitution, gambling houses, the illegal sale of liquor, women soliciting in the streets and similar offenses. The arrests made by members of the Metropolitan Squad, however, are for every class of crime and violations of the or_ dinances. 24 ANNUAL REPORT

Fletcher Embezzle. Vancouver “ 18 C. H. Gary O. M. F. P. San Ber’dino THE “ORIENTAL SQUAD” The work of policing the “Oriental district,” in coast cities is a diflicult branch of police work. In Los Angeles this district includes Japanese as well as Chinese residents. In the past the police have had considerable trouble in suppressing gambling, lottery playing, opium smoking, internecine and tong wars. The present conditions in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. however. are satisfactory from a police viewpoint. The traffic in opium has been eradicated to a degree that is amazing to those familiar with conditions in former years. Gambling, the playing of fantan and the Chinese lotteries have been suppressed to an extent that is decidedly satisfactory. The professional gambler has disappeared because of the fact that he is unable to derive an income from his operations. True, there is the visiting pro— fessional gambler, but he does not extend his visit to Los Angeles because of the fact that the Chinatown police who have noted his presence, keep him under surveillance. In fact the leading Chinese professional gamblers, prostitutes and "slave owners” give Los Angeles a wide berth. because its police climate is incongenial. The Chinatown policeman oftentime is called upon by the _ .United States Immigration and Internal Revenue ofiicials and the agents of the State Board of Pharmacy to assist in the work of tracing the movements of contraband Chinese and the shipment of opium. In no instance has a request for assistance in this direction been denied. Consequently, there is a most friendly spirit between the Police Department, the Federal and State oflicers. For a period of six months the police officials in the Pacific Coast cities have been worried and annoyed by the tong war between the Hop Sing Tong on one side and the Hip Sing, Suey Sing and Sin Yuey Ying Tongs on the other. This war, preva lent in most of the larger cities along the Pacific Coast in the autumn months of 1911, and down to the middle of May, 1912, was terminated by an agreement entered into by the tongs on May 25, 1912. Only one active feature of this war came to our immediate attention. It occurred May 25, 1912, when a member of the Suey Sing Tong was killed by an alleged member of the Hop LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 29 Sing Tong. The alleged murderer was captured within a few hours by the Chinatown policemen. He now is awaiting trial. Several “highbinders” who were imported from northern cities were arrested at this time, the law abiding Chinese, giving the police information of the presence in the city of these undesirable visitors. Two of these unwelcome guests were fined for carry ing concealed weapons. Others were taken to the Bureau of Identification where their measurements were taken. Each pris oner then was given “hours” to leave the city. The work done in the fiscal year by the “Oriental Squad," shows that one arrest for murder was made, that two men were arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, two were arrested on charges of robbery, five for grand larceny and that six fugitives from justice were taken into custody. Misdemeanor cases and arrests attended by the Chinatown policemen in the year consisted of 22 arrests for petit larceny, 58 arrests for carrying concealed weapons, six on charges of battery, 25 for disturbing the peace, 55 on charges of vagrancy, 25 for violating the law regulating the use of opium, 97 for viola tion of the lottery ordinances, 981 for intoxication and 44 arrests on minor charges. The number of arrests made in the fiscal year by members of this Squad totaled 1369. A GOOD SHOWING Business transacted through the office of the Police License Inspector during the year beginning July 1, 1911, and ending June 30, 1912: Delinquent licenses collected ...... $14,945.S4 New business and back licenses collected ...... 7,417.13 Fines in Police Courts ...... 418.00

Total ...... $22,780.67 In addition to the above figures this office disposed of numer ous complaints from citizens alleging to have been unfairly dealt with by persons holding licenses from the city. These complaints were chiefly against employment offices, pawnbrokers and sale stables. It is the policy of this office to see that justice be done to both parties and in almost every case satisfactory results to all concerned were obtained. Under the present system of handling the license business through the Police Department instead of employing collectors as heretofore, I feel safe in saying that the change is more satis factory to the general public, besides being a confirmed financial success. 30 ANNUAL REPORT

As this system is new and many people are negligent re garding the payment of licenses, it is essential that all members of the Police Department co-operate and instruct those subject to a license to pay same promptly. In this way the number of delinquents can be reduced to a minimum and the success of the . system assured. JUVENILE BUREAU One of the most important of the ditterent branches of the police service is that of the Juvenile Bureau which is in command of Police Probation Officer Leo VV. Marden. Detailed as assistants are Mrs. Aletha Gilbert, Senior Police Matron; Mrs. Ola Taylor, Police Woman, and Patrolman J. A. \Vinn. All cases of delinquency and dependency among children which come to the notice of police officers of this city are re ferred to this bureau for investigation and suchaction as will befor the best interests of the children involved. Thorough investigation is also made as to the causes of delinquency and dependency and, in case adult persons are responsible, prose cutions are made in the proper courts. When one takes into consideration that a large per cent of the crime committed in this_ city is by juveniles and that the most hardened criminals of today were at one time children whose environments were bad. the necessity and advantages of maintaining a Juvenile Depart ment is conceded. Not many years ago, juvenile offenders were dealt with in thesame manner as were adults which resulted in children of immature years being thrown in company with hardened crim inals. As a remedy for the condition, our legislature enacted special juvenile laws which classified children who commit crime as delinquent. instead of criminal and dependent, when without proper guardianship or environment. Since those first juvenile laws were enacted, there have been amendments which greatly enlarged the scope and jurisdiction untilit is now a question whether there is too much law. It has been charged that under the present juvenile laws there is not"a child in this city that is not either delinquent or dependent. Under the present law a girl _ofifive years who is without parents or a proper home is classed adependent the . same as a girl of seventeen who is a prostitute. A boy of nine years who rides a bicycle on a public sidewalk. in violation of a city ordinance is a delinquent the same. as a boy of seventeen who commits a burglary.t Whether the case be a misdemeanor or felony, the juristdiction of the Juvenile Court over such child is the same.

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 31 Under these conditions, it is necessary that police depart ments come to the rescue of the children by assigning all juvenile cases to police officers who are especially adapted to the work and who carefully investigate each case, as well as the character, temperament and environment of each child, before bringing it before the Superior Court as a delinquent or dependent. A child who has committed a minor offense is not brought into the Juvenile Court until it has had “a chance,” and the records show that more than ninety percent of such cases make good. VVith the co-operation of parents, such children are placed on their honor and are not required to report at stated times, as the re peated mental suggestion of wrongdoing, which is brought to the child’s mind at reporting times, may do great harm. By records of all cases being filed and indexed and by each child coming before the same officers, this department becomes an identification bureau for juveniles. A child who has pre viously been arrested is quickly recognized and cannot pass as a first offender. The work of the Juvenile Bureau is gradually increasing be cause of the rapid increase in population of this city. Following is a synopsis of the number of cases investigated during the fiscal year: Juvenile arrests ...... 125 Adult arrests ...... 53 Juvenile cases from reports of other officers ...... 1488 Adult cases prosecuted ...... 72 Special reports from citizens investigated ...... 208 My observations of the operation of the state laws for juveniles induces me to urge that the proper authorities revise the laws to the end that they may be modified and be more dis criminate as to the character of the offense committed.

The requirements of the Signal Service now demand 150 additional Police Signal boxes for the city, in Hollywood, San Pedro and Eagle Rock districts, a twelve-circuit charging board and an eight-circuit receiving table at Central Station. I would further recommend the installation of a complete red-light or flash signal system throughout the city. THE “CHAIN-GANG” While it is proposed to abolish several of the ugly and dis pleasing features connected with the “Chain-gang,” it is inter esting to note that the total number of prisoners who were given pick and shovel, or other labor, as punshment totaled 24,463. This means that an equal number of day’s work was accomplished in the period from July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912. The “Chain-gang” is housed at the Eastside Jail. The meals served in the fiscal year at this jail totaled 199,035. This includes meals to other prisoners as well as to those who were “Chain gang” workers.

Total ...... l99,035 Total ...... 24,463 days LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 35 DEPARTMENT GARAGE The departmental garage and machine shop have been in existence since the building of the University Station, at which place it is located. It is well equipped with inachinery and tools for doing the department work in the quickest and best manner possible. There are two expert men employed in the garage, one being :1 regular patrolman who is detailed as :1 machinist. and the other an emergency motorcycle repair man. These men are thoroughly competent and work for the interest of the department. \Ve get the work done more quickly than it could be done telscwhere as we can hold back a11 unimportant job until the more important repair can be made. The work being under the direct supervision of the captain of that division, is done with the least possible delay and expense. The automobile and motorcycle call-service has greatly as sisted the police in saving lives. preserving the peace. and pre venting the commission of crime. The following statement is of interest because it reveals the condition of the motor vehicles in police service. Incidentally. it shows the wisdom of main taining a combination garage and machine shop. Automobile No. 1 is an old gearless car that has been in use in the University Division. It has been completely overhauled once in the past year. This car is practically worn out and it lakes most of one man’s time to keep it in operation. Automobile No. 2 is the old gearless car that was used at Central Division. It has been discarded. A part of it has been installed in car No. 1 and the remainder stored in the garage. I would suggest that cars No. 1 and No. 2 be sold or traded in on a new car. (NOTE.—Several of the cars referred to here have been sold or traded, and three new Premier autos have been purchased.) Automobile No. 3 is a Locomobile and is used principally by the Chief of Police and the Mayor. Automobile No. 4 is an Oakland and has been in use in University Division. It has been overhauled once, has had two broken shifting arms and two broken springs replaced, and has been taken down twice for clutch trouble. Automobile No. 5 is an Oakland and has been in use in Central Division. It has been overhauled once, has had one broken axle. five broken springs and three broken shifting arms replaced. The differential torshing tubing has been broken twice, one wheel has had all new spokes at one time and three spokes t 36 ANNUAL REPORT at two other times, one wheel has been “trued” twice, the front axle bent once and clutch trouble has occurred several times. Automobile No. 6, an Oakland, has been in use in the East Side Division. It has had two gear shifting forks broken, four broken springs, four broken axles, one broken running board hanger and several broken bearings replaced. The difierential torshing tubing has been broken three times and clutch trouble has occurred several times. Automobiles Nos. 7 and 8 are automobile patrols that are used at the Central Station. One has been overhauled once. The other has not required much work. There have been numerous minor repairs and adjustments on all automobiles and motorcycles. Most of the above work has been done since Ianuary, 1912. VALUE OF “CALL” MOTORCYCLES

This table shows the number of calls made and miles travel led in the fiscal year by the “call” motorcycle ofiicers in each of the Police Divisions. The valuable work done by patrolmen detailed for this work cannot be calculated. The answer is that it pleases the citizen and taxpayer who resides in remote localities, affording him almost instant police protection. It is my desire to establish additional motorcycle sub-stations in the Police Divisions to assist the mounted police men and patrolmen on the beats: The reports read as follows: CENTRAL DIVISION Month Calls Miles Traveled July ...... 85 ...... 240 August ...... 119 ...... 275 September ...... 70 ...... 205 October ...... -. 96 ...... 260 November ...... 54 ...... 125 December ...... 74 ...... 18() January ...... 69...... 201 February ...... -- 59._ ...... 197 March ...... 72 ...... ;..205 April ...... -_ 84...... 221 May ...... 61 ...... l7l June ...... 60...... l6O

LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 39 VALUE OF MOUNTED POLICEMEN The usefulness of this branch of police work and the advant age a mounted policeman has over the police olficer who walks a beat has been demonstrated many times in the year. The eight policemen detailed for this work protect about fifty square miles of territory. Two mounted policemen are detailed to each

tion to business, tact, what to do, when to do it, and what to leave alone. It rests with the early incumbents to make or un make this branch of Police Department. Women are making this bureau popular and indispensible. A keener insight and ability to draw facts from women and children in trouble coupled with a natural, sympathetic nature, helps her to prevent

crime rather than inflict punishment. At the same time she is required to be firm—not allowing sympathy to interfere with her judgment—as in many cases discipline is the only remedy. Formerly, people of other cities requesting that lost rela tives and friends be located, were instructed to make such re

quests through their local peace officers to this Department. If the motive was proper and the request regular, an investigation was made whereby about one-sixth of the requests were located. The rapid growth of Los Angeles in population in the past seven years so greatly increased the number of requests to locate miss ing relatives and friends; also to furnish information of deaths,

that I determined to give more time and closer attention to these demands. A “Lost and Found Bureau” was established and in it a few days the publicity received in the local newspapers and press dispatches brought an avalanche of “requests” in the mail and by wire. This “avalanche,” by the way, has not diminished

in size, as the number of letters received is on the increase. Strict and personal attention to this duty to the public at large has enabled the policewoman and her assistants to locate three fifths of the people sought. Under the present system all suen a requests are referred direct to policewoman who is assisted in her investigations by patrolmen who are incapaciated from active duty because of injuries or illness. - a There is also broad field in protecting young girls from bad associates in public dance halls and motion picture theatres. a This is broad road to ruin from which young girls can be saved by the timely assistance of policewomen as mashers, young and old, consider young women as their legitimate prey. It is only LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 41 by causing their arrest and punishment that unprotected girls are safe. THE RECEIVING HOSPITAL The Receiving or Police Hospital has given treatment in the year to 6,985 men, women and children. Of these 1.604 called a second, and in some instances a third time, reducing the total of first or individual cases to 5,381.. -The increase over the preceding year totaled 711 cases. In 1908-O9 the number of per sons treated totaled 2,867. For those years and the one enclosed the character of the cases treated included almost every kind of an accident, attempted suicides, suicides, attempted murders, murder and illness of many varieties. Sick prisoners to the number of 11,775 received medical treatment in the year. In the same period 3,650 police olficers called at the hospital for medical treatment or for injuries sustained while in the per formance of duty.

It carries a feeling of financial security and comfort to the LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 43 wife who knows not at what moment her policeman husband and the father of her children may be taken from her by a murderer’s hand, accidental death or illness induced by exposure. Found on benevolence—a spirit of natural fraternalism which follows the guide line of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,”—the Association has grown in number and financial influence, until it contains upon its roster more than half the number of regular patrolmen. At present it has a treasury balance of a little more than $12,000. This fund, kept alive by the voluntary dues and contributions of 275 active mem bers, is one that recites credit to an unincorporated body of men who are engaged in a hazardous vocation, frowned upon by agents of life insurance and casuality companies. Section two of the By-laws of the Relief Association tells this story tersely and truly: “It shall be the purpose of this Association to bind the members together in a closer bond of fraternity for mutual pro tection to each other in sickness, distress and death; also, to pro mote and improve social intercourse and welfare between the members thereof.” Another thing that displays the spirit pervading this organi zation, revealing the trust and confidence policemen bear toward each other, is found in the fact that there have been few—ex ceedingly few, changes in the personnel of the affairs of the Association. George H. Williams, a sergeant at the time the organization was perfected, now a retired lieutenant, was the president of the Relief Association from its inception to the time of his retirement,—-December 6, 1911. Captain R. S. Haupt has been its treasurer since 1907. Sergeant J. W. Tyler, elected secretary at the first informal meeting, has been retained in office all these years without criticism. It was in 1904 that the men responsible for the present splendid organization determined upon a change in the manner of providing funds for the care of sick, bullet wounded or injured policemen, and supplying funds for burial expenses in the event of death. In October of that year there was a continued drain on the salaries of the policemen in the way of voluntary con tributions. Four subscription lists, each seeking assistance for policemen, were at the desk sergeant’s office the day the call for the preliminary meeting was posted. W. A. Hammel, Chief of Police at the time, approved of the suggestion made that the Police Department organize and fraternize in a relief society. Sergeants George H. Williams, J. W. Tyler, R. S. Haupt and the late L. R. Harris conferred with Chief of Police Hammel 44 ANNUAL REPORT concerning their plan to form a relief association. They placed before their superior officer the story of a con tinued drain upon their salaries and expressed the desire that the giving of assistance be directed through an organization which would simplify their benevolences. The sergeants out lined their plan and upon receiving the approval of Chief l lammel. a call for an informal meeting was issued. One of the first ideas set forth to prospective members was that the proposed relief society was in no wise associated with the “Police Relief Pension Fund,” provided for by the legislature. The present oflicials of the organization are: President. Captain A. \V. Murray; vice-president. Sergeant W. E. Smith; treasurer, Captain R. S. Haupt; secretary, Sergeant J. W. Tyler; trustees, Lieutenant J. L. Butler and Sergeant J. W. R. Grogan. The balance sheet for 1911 revealed that the Association had $11,105.18 in the treasury. In the history of the organiza tion $5,701.65 in sick and death benefits have been paid by the Assocation. The total amount donated to outside charities since the Association was organized is $4,000.00. The amount received from the souvenir book of 1911 was $5,259.60. The mortuary list of the Relief Association is as follows: Detective P. H. Murray, Sergeant L. R. Harris and Patrol men VV. H. V\/right, John Colling, S. B. Stiles, S. Hill, Thomas Christian, A. Mercer, R. A. Maranville, and J. W. Murphy, whose deaths came as the result of illness induced by exposure or in juries sustained while in the performance of duty. Members killed in the performance of duty were Captain \‘.*-. l--l. Auble, Patrolmen David Brooks, Arthur B. Crusey and I~‘. C. Eiler. Patrolmen C. S. Bowman and J. P. \Viley were accidentally killed. THE BULLETIN CLERK Under this heading I desire-to call attention to the value of the Police Department’s print shop. In the year ending June 30, 1912, the printer has issued each day in the year 645 copies of the “Police Bulletin.” This makes a total of 235,425 “Bulle tins,” placed in daily circulation, each operating as a “Paper Policeman” in locating the movements of criminals, in identify ing lost or stolen property, and in restoring property to the UVVIICTS. In these “Bulletins” were presented 1,986 descriptions of per sons, bicycles, automobiles, horse-drawn vehicles, watches. jewelry, etc. In addition to the descriptive paragraphs there LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 45 were many special and general orders, letters of commendation, and instruction to officers. Each member of the Police Depart ment receives a copy of the “Bulletin.” One is mailed each day to the office of the Mayor, the City Auditor, the Health Depart ment, and each member of the Police Commission. Every fourth day copies of the preceding days’ “Bulletin” are mailed to every chief of police and sheriff in California, and to all the constables and city marshals in Southern California. In addition to these the authorities in every important railroad sta tion in Arizona, Nevada and Utah, and to the coast cities in Washington and Oregon. The work of the Departmental printer, however, does not end here. His oflice supplies the majority of the blank forms used in the police work. He has on hand 106 different forms of type and electrotype. The number of blank forms printed inthe year totalled 814,085. The number delivered to the several offices totaled 466,085. The number of blank forms on hand total 348,000. The Work of the Police Department has greatly increased in the year, necessitating an order to enlarge the size of the “Bulletin.” MANY CASES INVESTIGATED The city prosecutor and his staff issued 8.130 complaints in the fiscal year on state misdemeanor cases, while 8,594 com plaints for violations of the city ordinances were received and taken into court. A large number of cases (484) were settled without prosecution; 524 were dismissed and 279 defendants were discharged from custody. The state misdemeanor cases included 1,082 for cruelty to animals, 1,817 for disturbing the peace, 281 for gambling, 114 for conducting disorderly houses. 268 for violating the pharmacy act, 401 for petit larceny and 2,916 vagrancy cases. The great majority of these cases reached the city prosecutor’s office through the Police Depart ment. CITY POUND One of the incidentals in police work is that of reporting and caring for estray animals. The report of the City Pound master, while it does not belong to this Department, presents an interesting array of figures, as many of the cases mentioned passed through the Police Department. The report covers the fiscal year, and shows that 3,136 dogs were taken to the City Pound, that 2,838 were humanely de 46 ANNUAL REPORT stroyed, and that only 298 were redeemed. In the year, 603 cows and calves were cared for. The number of dogs licensed in the city, exclusive of the San Pedro and Wilmington districts, totalled 12,478. The work of this bureau has netted the city $16,000 in license fees. PLAY GROUND ATTENDANCE Interesting figures are found in the following table which discloses the number of children visiting the Public Playgrounds. These recreation centers have greatly reduced the amount of police work attendant upon the care of children whose play grounds in past years have been centered in the streets and high Ways and upon vacant lots. Total number of boys visiting playgrounds from July l, 1911 to June 30, 1912 ...... 332.884 Total number of girls visiting playgrounds from July 1, 1911 to June 30. 1912 ...... 27l,308 Total attendance boys and girls from July 1, 1911 to June 30, 1912 ...... 6(H,l92 Six of the regular playgrounds are open throughout the year.
