A Message From

The Police Commissioner

To: His Honor the Mayor, the City Council and the Residents of the City of Boston:

In many respects, Fiscal Year 1982-1983 was a year of notable gains by the Boston Police Department. Laid off police officers were recalled, new police officers and cadets were hired, much needed equipment was purchased and the crime rate dropped for the first time in ten years.

The year started with the recall of the last one hundred and sixty-three officers who had been laid off as a result of the budget deficits caused by the so-called Tregor rebates, school overspending and Proposition IVi. This improvement in the patrol force was aug- mented l)y the hiring of more than two hundred new police officers. Additional personnel were added to the department rolls by hiring sixty new cadets during August.

The promotion of Superintendent Francis J. Coleman to Superintend- ent-in-Chief was the first of a series of promotions which included nineteen Sergeants to the grade of Lieutenant and twenty-three police officers to the grade of Sergeant.

An increase in the department budget of almost 10 million dollars over the previous fiscal year made it possible to replace the depart- ment's obsolete motor vehicles and radios.

Shortly after the new year, plans were announce for a major reorgan- ization of the Department that involved a fundamental shift in the basic patrol strategy. The plans attempted to maximize the visability and effectiveness of the patrol force by rationalizing the use of existing resources and by shifting those resources to the areas of the greatest need.

The cornerstone of the new plan was the assignment of priorities to calls according to their urgency, and the allotment of personnel to the calls according to their priority. This new system necessitated the use of one officer units for non-emergency service calls and the assign- ment of two officers to every call for a crime in progress or for a life threatening situation.

As a result of the changes implemented under the Reorganization Plan, the Department more than doubled the number of beats that it fields on a daily basis. There were increases in the number of walking officers and motorcycle units working on a daily basis.

The effect of these changes had was almost instantaneous and unmis- takeable. Response time to all categories of calls dropped and by the end of the fiscal year had gone from a response time average of nine minutes to one of five minutes.

Perhaps most important of all, the crime rate began to drop for the first time in more than ten years. By the end of June, the Department had recorded almost eleven percent fewer crimes than it had for the corresponding previous year.

However the Department and the city are still faced with the fact that the local recidivism rate is more than seventy percent. The bulk of suspects that the department deals with have been processed before and can be classified as career criminals. Until the judiciary in this city realize the full extent of the problem and begin to act more aggresively, we can look for little change. Without a change in the recidivism rate, the department will have to continue to put its major effort into visibility and rapid response to act as a deterrent.

As we enter the new fiscal year, these trends appear to be intensify- ing. The crime rate continues to drop and the visibility of the Depart- ment's personnel is providing better service for all residents of the City of Boston. As the Reorganization Plan is further refined and a number of newly created units, such as the Auto Task Force and Burglary Task Force, begin their work in earnest, conditions can be expected to improve even more.

The Functions

of the Boston Police Department

In March 1983, the Boston Police Department's organizational structure was changed to increase the Department's efficiency in meeting the changing needs of the Boston Community.

The new organizational structure (above) is organized into four majoB entities: the Office of the Commissioner, the Bureau of Administrative Services, the Bureau of Investigative Services, and the Bureau of Field; Services.

The most evident changes of the Reorganization are the introduction ol the one officer patrol cars, the two officer Rapid Response Units, and the greatly increased number of walking patrols in the city neiglv borhoods. As a result, there is a ninety-one percent increase in the number of patrols fielded by the Department.
