REPORT.
Headquarters of the Police Department,
Office of the Police Commissioner, 154 Berkeley Street,
' Boston, December 31, 1943.
To His Excellency Leverett Saltonstall, Governor.
Your ExcELLENcf , — As Police Commissioner for the City
of Boston, I have the honor to present in comphance with the
provisions of Chapter 291 of the Acts of 1906, as amended, a
report of the work of the Boston PoHce Department for the
year ending November 30, 1943.
I was appointed PoHce Commissioner for the City of Boston
on November 26, 1943, succeeding Mr. Joseph F. Timilty
upon the expiration of his term of office.
The War and the Police.
The war has placed a great additional burden upon the
police department. The police have performed a great number
of extra hours of duty for exclusively war purposes without
taking into account the innumerable daily activities created
or increased by war conditions. Thousands of cases involving
enemy aliens, draft dodgers, saboteurs and deserters were
referred to this department for investigation by the various
Federal agencies and military authorities. In addition thereto
the department was called upon to furnish police details at
various defense plants and factories producing war materials.
From time to time protection was furnished by the department
for the transportation of convoys of war materials from one
location to another.
The Harbor Police in addition to their regular duties of
patrolling the waterfront were called upon to protect the many
new government buildings and piers that have been erected
along the upper harbor and to guard as well the many wharves
and storehouses w^here war materials are stored, or where
vessels are being loaded or unloaded, in order to prevent any
acts of sabotage or other unlawful acts by enemy agents.
Frequently assistance was rendered to the United States Navy
and the United States Coast Guard by the Harbor Police in the
8 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
transportation of officers from various points in the upper
harbor. In addition to these activities, the Harbor Police were
instrumental in enforcing the dimout regulations respecting all
lights located on wharves, docks and piers, in that they be of a
particular design and focus and be operated correctly during
all blackout tests.
Civilian Defense.
The Volunteer Auxiliary Police was established in the
department in accordance with the Acts ©f 1941, Chapter 719,
Section 5. The members volunteer their services as a patriotic
duty, without compeiLsation. Men classified in 1-A under the
Selective Service Act are not eligible for membership because
they are subject to early call in the Armed Forces. The
members are equipped with a badge, helmet, night stick and a
flash light. They are photographed and fingerprinted and
given the oath of office. Their duties are restricted to pre-
vention of crime, protection of life and property and such
other duties as may be assigned to them in an emergency.
There are 3,075 men enrolled as Auxihary Policemen.
The Air Raid Wardens carried out the duties assigned to
them in periodic drills and exercises, including blackouts,
during the second year of the war, in a highly successful manner.
Approximately 17,000 men are enrolled as Air Raid Wardens.
New members of these protective forces are constantly being
trained to replace those who have found it necessary to resign.
The members of these units are deserving of the highest
praise for their patriotism and unselfish devotion of their time
to the important war-time responsibiUties that have been
entrusted to them, and their efficiency has elicited warm
praise from Civilian Defense Officials.
Personnel.
The morale of any large body of men is inspired and main-
tained at a high level if they are happy in their work and aware
that indi\ddual ability and ambition will be rewarded. So far
in my term as Police Commissioner I have come in contact
with officers who have distinguished themselves in the perform-
ance of duty through intelligence, initiative and courage.
Each year such officers are awarded the Walter Scott Medal
for Valor, Department Medals of Honor, or are cited in General
Orders for outstanding achievement. In my opinion, many of
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 9
these officers because of such proven ability are quaUfied to
fulfill assignments of greater responsibility, and in matters of
promotion are worthy of particular consideration in so far as
Civil Service Rules and Regulations permit. In this manner,
officers can be reassured that the department is not unaware
of those who perform their duties in keeping with the highest
traditions of the service.
Since the inception of the war, the department has lost the
services of many of its able and experienced officers who have
entered the Armed Forces. A total of two hundred and eighty-
seven (287) officers and twenty-three (23) civilian employees
answered the call to the colors. A further depletion of the
personnel would seriously affect the efficient functioning of
poHce service.
During the past year, deferments had been claimed by the
department but met with scant approval from the local draft
boards. Recently, however, these boards have been satisfied
that the claims for such deferments were based upon well-
founded and important reasons and many of these claims
have been granted in the interest of the service. It is also
encouraging to report that the draft boards have shown a
greater spirit of cooperation by granting the reopening of
certain cases for the purpose of reclassification.
In spite of the inroads made upon the membership of the
department by the war, the personnel has been able to carry
out all its duties as well as the many extra calls made upon them
in connection with the war in a highly satisfactory manner.
In the absence of a Civil Service eligible list for military
substitute patrolmen to replace permanent patrolmen who
entered the Armed Forces, permission was requested of and
granted by the Civil Service Commission to appoint properly
qualified men from civilian lif^ as provisional temporary
patrolmen. On October 11, 1943, one hundred and twelve
(112) men were appointed provisional temporary patrolmen.
On June 2, 1943, with Civil Service authorization, ten (10)
properly qualified women were appointed provisional temporary
policewomen.
The emergency battalion of the department was reorganized
on July 7, 1943, and composed of five hundred (500) officers
for services in time of unusual stress. These officers were
given an intensive course of training in riot formations and
defense tactics with special training given in the use of firearms.
10 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
A Red Cross course in First Aid training was started in the
Spring of 1943 for all sergeants and patrolmen. This course
was taken in relays so that at the present writing two-thirds of
the officers have completed their training and the remainder
of the men are now in the process of training, so that all of
these officers will be enabled, whenever the occasion arises, to
handle efficiently those cases requiring first aid attention.
Governor Leverett Saltonstall directed John F. Stokes,
Commissioner of Public Safety, on October 19, 1943, to con-
duct an investigation of assaults, insults, and cases of property
damage allegedly resulting from anti-Semitism in the Metro-
politan and Boston areas. Commissioner John F. Stokes
submitted a report to the Governor in which he stated that
thirty-four of the forty alleged incidents occurred in Police
Di\dsions 9 and 19 (Roxbury and Mattapan districts) and
showed evidence of neglect of duty on the part of sergeants
and route officers to make a proper investigation. The for-
tieth case was found to be purely fictitious. He also reported
that he had found a widespread dissemination of anti-Semitic
hterature. He further reported that he could find no evidence
of any organization of an anti-Semitic nature. The indi\dduals
reported as being responsible for these anti-Semitic incidents
were found to be boys sixteen years of age and under.
Upon direction of Governor Saltonstall, Commissioner
Stokes forwarded a copy of his report to the then Police Com-
missioner who, on November 22, 1943, instituted an investi-
gation. Of the forty (40) cases mentioned in the report of
Commissioner Stokes, he stated that sixteen could be elimi-
nated because the police were never called upon to take
any action and there was further evidence to show that the
police were never given any information whatever about them.
Three cases were found to he outside the jurischction of the
Boston police and one proved to be purely fictitious. Two
cases involved no assaults or other offenses upon which the
pofice could take action. In fifteen cases the police took
action upon complaint. In one of these, the complainant
disappeared and no trace whatever could be found of him.
One case involving no complaint consisted of derogatory
remarks that had been overheard. One case was a duplication.
As far as could be discovered, there was no evidence of any
organized anti-Semitism in this city.
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 11
Juvenile Delinquency.
Delinquency among juveniles is a problem that has always
been with the American people. It is only natural 'that it
should assume greater proportions under the impact of a world-
wide war. Some of the causes for this growth are the lack of
proper parental supervision, the employment of both parents
in defense industries to the neglect of the children at home,
the ease with which young people can earn high wages, thus
affording them a larger amount of spending money, and lack of
sufficient recreational facilities in the average large city.
Police departments are usually blamed for the recent in-
crease in juvenile delinquency as they were blamed in the
first world war. However, the truth is that lack of proper
parental supervision is the primary cause of any increase in
juvenile dehnquency in the majority of cases. In addition to
this lack of proper parental supervision may be added the
avariciousness of some parents to work in defense plants and
leave their children to their own devices for eight or ten hours
a day. Under these circumstances, a great many children fall
in with bad companions who are instrumental in leading them
upon wrong paths and ultimately into the hands of the police.
In an effort to cope with this problem at the present time,
and in the years to come, the department established on
August 9, 1943, what is known as the Crime Prevention
Bureau, under the command Qf a Deputy Superintendent,
and which is staffed as follows: two lieutenants, two acting-
sergeants (policewomen), nineteen patrolmen and twelve
policewomen.
The functions of this Bureau are:
1. To develop a program of crime prevention intended
to eliminate those factors that induce criminal tendencies,
especially among children.
2. To enlist in this program the aid of the public and
all interested agencies and other divisions and units of the
police department.
3. To teach good citizenship and to develop the proper
mental attitude of all citizens toward law enforcement
agencies.
4. To ascertain persons and places which in any way
contribute to delinquency of children and to take necessary
steps to correct such conditions.
12 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
5. To super\dse the inspection of all places of public
amusement.
6. To promote the welfare of children and take special
care to locate missmg children.
7. To investigate all complaints concerning boys and
girls and to investigate individuals concerned in such
cases.
From its inception up to November 30, 1943, officers of the
Bureau arrested 55 juveniles for various violations of the law.
In addition to these arrests there were 3,077 inspections and
1,530 cases investigated. In every case the Bureau makes an
effort to deal with the child without resorting to court action
in so far as possible and to enlist the sincere cooperation of the
parents to the end that the child may be spared a court record.
Conclusion.
Durmg my official capacity as Chief Blackout Officer in
Metropolitan Boston, I had frequent occasion to work with
officials and members of the Boston Police Department in the
enforcement of blackout regulations. I am pleased to say that
I have always found the rank and file of its membership ready
and willing at all time to cooperate to the fullest degree in the
public interest. As Police Commissioner, I am happy to be
associated with such a fine body of men and I look forward to
many years of fruitful and pleasant relations. I also wish to
express my appreciation to the members of the department
for the fine spirit they have extended to me.
In conclusion, I wish to thank Your Excellency, the pubUc,
and the press for the splendid cooperation that has been
accorded me upon my assumption of this responsible position.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas F. Sullivan,
Police Commissioner for the City of Boston.

The number of persons punished by fine was 16,217, and the
fines amounted to $164,888. (See Table XIII.)
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 17
One hundred and sixty-five persons were committed to the
State Prison; 2,282 to tlie House of Correction; 153 to the
Women's Prison; 261 to the Reformatory Prison, and 2,107 to
other institutions.
The total years of imprisonment were: 2,892 years (814
sentences were indefinite); the total number of days' attend-
ance at coiu't by officers was 34,681 and the witness fees earned
by them amounted to $8,637. (See Table XIII.)
The value of property taken from prisoners and lodgers was
$160,612.
Eight witnesses were detained at station houses; 22,575 were
accommodated with lodgings, an increase of 12,839 over last
year.
There was an increase of 12.86 per cent in the number of sick
and injured persons assisted, and an increase of about .34 per
cent in the number of lost children cared for.
The average amount of property stolen each year in the city
for the five years from 1939 to 1943, inclusive, was $382,532.74;
in 1943 it was $396,881 or $14,348.26 more than the average.
The amount of stolen property which was recovered by the
Boston police this year was $296,792 as against $219,655 last
year. (See Table XIII.)
In connection with arrests recorded, it is interesting to note
that 20,053 persons, or 31.99 per cent of the total arrests during
the past year, were persons residing outside the city limits of
Boston. This shows clearly the extent to which Boston is
called on to perform police work for non-residents.
The Commissioner has attempted to find out what per-
centage of arrests in other cities is of non-residents. This per-
centage is so small in other cities that statistics are not kept of
this class of arrests; therefore, it should be borne in mind in
making comparisons of Boston with other cities, either of the
cost of policing or of criminal statistics, that 31.99 per cent of
the arrests in Boston is of non-residents, whereas other cities
have but a negligible percentage of arrests of non-residents.

pared with the same period ending with November 30, 1942,

This Bureau, a central detective agency of the Department,
consists of several subdivisions, and is operated on a large
scale and in an efficient manner.
In addition to its divisions for investigation of reports of
automobiles stolen, lost and stolen property, and homicides,
(as well as supervision of the line-up), — squads are assigned
to cover the following phases of police work and investigation:
arson, banking, express thieves, general investigation, hotels,
narcotics, pawnbrokers, including junk shopkeepers and
dealers in second-hand articles, pickpocket, radical, shopping
and a night piotor-patrol squad.
Members of this Bureau investigate felonies committed
within the jurisdiction of the City of Boston. They also
handle cases of fugitives from justice and conduct hundreds
of investigations during the course of a year for various police
departments throughout the United States and foreign coun-
tries. Further, they cooperate in every possible way with
outside police departments in investigation of crime and
prosecution of criminals.
Automobile Division.
This division investigates all reports of automobiles stolen
and is in daily communication with police authorities of the
United States and Canada. Many investigations are made
in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Post
Office Department and immigration authorities of the United
States.
The automobile division index contains records of approxi-
mately 700,000 automobiles, consisting of cars stolen in Boston,
cars stolen in other places, cars reported purchased and sold,
cars for which owners are wanted, cars used by missing per-
sons and cars whose operators are wanted for various offenses.
Many arrests are made by officers of the Department and the
Automobile Division through information obtained from this
index.
All applications for U.sed Car Dealers' Licenses are inves-
tigated by officers of this division. Frequent examinations
are made to ascertain if used car dealers are conforming to the
conditions of their licenses.

Lost and Stolen Property Division.
A description of all articles reported lost, stolen or found in
this city is filed in this division. All the surrounding cities
and towns and many other cities forward lists of property
stolen in such places to be filed. All pawnbrokers and second-
hand dealers submit daily reports of all articles pawned or
purchased. A comparison of the description of articles lost or
stolen and those articles which are pawned or purchased by
dealers resulted in the recovery of thousands of dollars' worth
of stolen property and the arrest of many thieves. Approxi-
mately 150,000 cards were filed in the stolen property index
during the year.
In addition, members of this Bureau visit pawnshops and
secondhand shops daily and inspect property pawned or pur-
chased, for the purpose of identifying property which may have
been stolen.
Homicide Squad.
It is the duty of officers of this unit to investigate and
prosecute all homicide cases. They are required to interrogate
all persons involved in or who have knowledge of the commis-
sion of crimes of murder, manslaughter, abortion or other
crimes of \aolence. Cases assigned to inquest are prepared

and presented by officers of this unit. The officers assigned
to homicide work, with poHce stenographers, are subject to
call throughout the day and night. The confessions and
statements obtained by members of this unit have proven of
inestimable value in the successful prosecution of capital
cases.
The homicide files contain complete reports of all inquests
and deaths by violence in Boston and also a record of all
accidents reported to the Police Department.

BIOLOGICAL CHEMIST.
Summary of the Year's Work.
Work at the Laboratory.
The chemical laboratory of the Boston Police Department
is located at the Southern Mortuary, and since its opening in
1934 has worked on 2,760 cases. The average annual number
of cases for the last five years was 326. During the past year
330 cases were submitted to the laboratory.
The number of individual tests per case varies widely
according to the type of case, but during the course of the
year the total number of tests will range from 3,000 to 3,500.
A partial breakdown of the cases into types of work shows
more clearlv the nature of the chemist's work.

Attendance of the Biological Chemist Before Judicial Bodies.
In addition to work in the laboratory on case material,
the chemist has been in attendance on courts and grand juries
on 98 days during the past twelve months.
Toxicological Problems.
The bulk of the routine analytical work in the laboratory
is toxicological in nature. Outstanding is the number of cases
examined for presence of alcohol, analyses being made in 65 per
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 37
cent of the cases. That this is not unusual may be seen from
the average vahie for the five years, 1939-1943, where analyses
for alcohol were made in 64 per cent of the cases. Alcohol is
found present in a high percentage of cases involving accidental
death from various causes, as well as in homicidal cases.
Carbon monoxide poisoning, as well as barbiturates, have
continued their usual frequency. The slightly higher number
of monoxide cases this year has arisen from several fires in
which there were multiple deaths.
In more recent years fluoride has been commonly used as
an insect poison with frequent accidental deaths as well as
some suicides. An experimental check of quantitative analyti-
cal methods during the past year has produced an abnormally
high percentage of fluoride cases, although some of the investi-
gation was an outgrowth of the "Cocoanut Grove" disaster.
The fact that most of the cases involving toxicological work
do not enter the criminal courts tends to obscure the essential
nature of the work. Sudden deaths must be investigated, and
in such deaths by poison (accidental or suicidal) knowledge
of the poison taken and of its amount is necessary for an
opinion as to the cause of death, as well as to circumstances
surrounding that death. Such knowledge may forestall or be
an integral part of a civil suit or of a claim for compensation.
Technical Work on Criminal Cases.
The laboratory serves as a clearing house of technical work
on highly-varied aspects of criminal cases. While this work
has developed chiefly from investigation of homicides, many
phases of it are applicable to other types of cases. The func-
tion of the laboratory is to examine the scene, weapon, defend-
ant, clothing, etc., selecting concrete physical evidence which
is examined, analyzed, etc., in the laboratory for such informa-
tion as may have bearing on the crime, the defendant's partici-
pation in it, etc.
In some instances the case is purely circumstantial and
based solely on technical evidence. In many others, the
laboratory's work serves to check or modify statements made
by witnesses, to clear points of confusion, or to fill a minor gap
in recollection. In others, the case is the product of close
cooperation between the laboratory and investigating ofl&cers,
each using the other's information as it is developed.
38 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
There have been a number of interesting cases in the past
year, of which two are excellent examples of this cooperation.
In one, a hit-and-run car, after striking the deceased, was
involved in a subsequent accident causing property damage.
Officers found at the scene of the fatal accident a fragment of
headlamp lens which matched exactly a fragment found at the
scene of property damage. This clearly established the re-
sponsibility of one car for both accidents. Witnesses provided
little information, but investigation by the officers produced
a damaged car which also showed a new headlamp bulb and
lens. The new bulb and lens were traced. The old lens was
like the fragments and the dimout paint appeared similar. At
the laboratory the lens was examined, also the dimout paint,
and compared to that on the fragments from the two scenes.
Examination of the underparts of the car revealed scratch-
marks in the adherent dirt, and fragments of plant material.
These fragments were taken to the laboratory and compared
to parts of a hedge which the hit-and-run car passed over after
jumping a curb and knocking down an iron fence. From these
laboratory data a circumstantial case was prepared for prosecu-
tion. However, the investigating officers continued theirwork
and located a passenger in that car who admitted remembrance
of jumping the curb. This corroboration of the laboratory
evidence made the case complete.
Similarly, in a homicide by kicking, investigation produced
a suspect whose trousers showed blood spatters on the legs;
whose shoes showed a tiny bit of epidermis (outer layer of the
skin), a minute fragment of bone, and extensive bloodstains;
and whose hat showed some dirt, blood spots, and a small
fragment of bone adherent in a blood spot. From this evi-
dence a circumstantial case was prepared. Further investiga-
tion by the officers located a witness who saw the deceased
kicked.
These cases illustrate the variety of material examined at the
laboratory, and the manner in which physical evidence is used
to develop a case, fill gaps between witnesses' statements, etc.,
to produce a complete case for trial.
Cooperation with Other Agencies.
During the past year few lectures were given. The chemist
cooperated in the Medico-Legal Conference sponsored by the
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT— No. 49. 39
Massachusetts Medico-Legal Society and the Department
of Legal Medicine of Harvard University with a discussion of
hit-and-run automobile cases, and at the seminar with a
discussion of barbiturates and narcotics.
There has also been occasion to cooperate with law enforce-
ment agencies in other New England states with suggestions
or work on evidence.
40 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
BUREAU OF RECORDS.
Establishment, Purpose and Equipment.
The Bureau of Records was established October 17, 1931, as
a central correspondence and filing unit in the Department.
It consists of several separate divisions, namely: criminal
identification, fingerprints and photographs, missing persons,
warrants and summonses.
It is one of the outstanding units of the organization and its
value to the Department is indispensable. It stands in favor-
able comparison with identification units of the most advanced
departments.
Advancements and changes are constantly bemg made to
maintain efficiency and to increase the worth of the unit to the
Department as a whole.
To bring about this efficiency of service, equipment of the
Bureau is continually being augmented by addition of modern
identification apparatus.
The followmg is a partial list of such machines which have
constantly proved their value to the Department and which
are numbered among the equipment of the modern police
department :

Multilith.
Installation of a Multilith machine, January 31, 1934, under
direct supervision of experienced operators, enables this De-
partment to prepare and complete printing of circulars con-
taining photographs and fingerprints of persons either reported
missing or wanted for criminal offenses. The original cost
of this machine has been saved many times over in the efficient
method of printing such circulars in the Bureau. It has
proved a distinct advantage in issuance of these circulars
which play so important a part in apprehension of fugitives
from justice.
The Multilith machine is completely equipped with cameras
for preparation of half-tones which add to the varied output
of the machine. This machine is capable of printing in approx-
imately two hours descriptive circulars of persons wanted, and
in some cases it is possible to complete and mail such circulars
to outside cities before the fugitive arrives at his destination.
•
Output of Daily Manifolds, Wan-ajit Manifolds, etc.
There were 499,275 impressions turned out on the mimeo-
graph machines, comprising daily manifolds for the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation and other units, warrant manifolds,
bulletins and circular letters.
There were 12 forms and circulars photographed and 12
forms printed in upon a zinc plate. There were approximately
12 Multihth plates used by this unit in the past year and 6
films used.
42 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
Circulars Drafted, Containing Photographs and Fingerprints of
Fugitives.
During the year 15,000 circulars, containing photographs
and fingerprints of fugitives, were drafted, printed and mailed
from this office to every city and town in the United States
with a population of 5,000 or more, State bureaus of identi-
fication, all Army and Navy recruiting stations, and a number
of the larger cities in foreign countries. Circulars requesting
cooperation in the return of seven missing persons were sent
to all important cities in the East and practically to every city
in Massachusetts.

Photographic Division.
The Photographic Division of the Bureau of Records is one
of the finest and most modern in the entire country. Its
equipment has been continually added to and renewed with a
view of maintaining a high standard of service.
It forms an important adjunct of the Medical Examiners'
offices and cooperates with those offices in all homicide cases.
The Medical Examiners' offices are supplied with enlarged
photographs of every homicide case. The efficient operation
of the Medical Examiners' offices is improved by the coopera-
tion of this Unit.
Enlarged photographs are filed in cabinets especially built
to accommodate the size. The enlarged photographs are
principally scenes of homicides, hit-and-run accidents, and
suspicious fires, and have proved invaluable for court purposes.
Many communications have been received as a result of the
value of these photographs, particularly in arson cases. Juries
have been greatly assisted in determining the condition of
burnt premises by introduction and exhibition of these photo-
graphs in court. This same excellent effect is obtained in
homicide and hit-and-run cases.

Record Files of Assignments.
Files of this Bureau contain records of all assignments made
in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, also all records of
arrests made throughout the Department. There are also on
file reports of all felonies committed within the city and all
reports of the investigation of these felonies.
Identification Division.
In the Identification Division records are kept of all persons
committed to the Massachusetts State Prison, Massachusetts
Reformatory for Women, including their fingerprints and
photographs; also records of all inmates of the Suffolk County
House of Correction and their fingerprints. The keepers of
jails and houses of correction in the several counties of the
Commonwealth have been requested to furnish this Bureau
with a copy of the fingerprints of every inmate and they have
responded favorably. In addition to the foregoing, the files
contain many thousands of photographs and fingerprints,
correspondence, records, clippings and histories of criminals
arrested or wanted in various parts of the United States
and foreign countries.
Main Index File.
The Main Index File forms the basis on which all other
files are dependent. It is at all times being checked to main-
tain accuracy. There are now recorded in the Main Index
File 796,700 persons. These include all persons arrested and
fingerprinted in the Bureau, applicants for Hackney Carriage
Licenses and applicants for Special Officers' Licenses, etc.
Criminal Record Files.
The Criminal Record Files contain a record of each person
whose fingerprints are contained in the fingerprint files. At
the present time there are in the Female Record Files 13,350
records and in the Male Record Files there are 155,718 such
records. These records are continually being brought up to
date by cooperation with outside departments and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
Cabinets of Segregated Photographs of Criminals Arrested.
Photographs of criminals arrested by the Boston police and
photographs received from other sources are filed in segregated
44 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
cabinets. Photographs received from outside departments
are placed in the "Foreign Segregated" file and those taken by
this Department are in the "Local Segregated" file. Photo-
graphs of all criminals are segregated into four distinct sections,
namely, white, yellow, negro and gypsy. Each of these groups
is subdivided according to sex and also classified under head of
the crime in which the subjects specialize. The "Local
Segregated" file contains 41,092 photographs and the "For-
eign Segregated" file, 17,988 photographs.
Exhibiting of Photographs of Criminals in Main and
Segregated Files.
The Identification Division has rendered efficient and
beneficial service to officers of other departments in exhibiting
photographs of criminals in the segregated and main files to
victims of robberies, confidence games, pickpockets, etc.
In many instances, important identifications have been
made which have resulted in arrests and convictions. Valu-
able assistance has also been rendered to government officials
of the following branches: Post Office, Treasury and Secret
Service Departments, Federal Bureau of Investigation and
other government agencies. Similar services have also been
rendered to railroad and express companies.
Members of Bureau Visited Scenes of Homicides,
Burglaries, etc.
Members of this Bureau visited scenes of homicides, bur-
glaries, robberies, suspicious fires and other crimes and secured
photographs of fingerprints, in many instances of the persons
who committed these crimes. In many cases photographs
were taken of the scene where the crime was committed. The
figures and other data in connection with the work are con-
tained in a subsequent part of this report.
Ultra-Violet Lamp {"Black Light").
This Bureau has successfully continued in the operation of
an ultra-violet lamp, commonly known as "black hght."
This type of lamp is used for detection of forgeries on checks
and altered documents, fraudulent paintings, counterfeit money,
fake antiques and also for photographing of bloodstained
fabrics. Fingerprints that formerly could not be photographed
are now photographed with ease through the use of luminous
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 45
powders such as anthracene or luminous zinc sulphide, due to
radiations emitted by this lamp.
The " Fluoroscope" and "White Drill."
There have been acquired by this Bureau two valuable pieces
of scientific equipment. The first is known as the "Fluoro-
scope." When the rays of this instrument are trained on the
subject before it, it reveals presence of any foreign substance
concealed cither on or in his person, for instance, jewelry,
metal or glass. The finding of glass in clothing on a person
suspected of striking and killing a pedestrian with an auto-
mobile is another example of what the instrument may accom-
plish in detection of crime and criminals. The same is none
the less true of inanimate objects, such as packages contain-
ing bombs, or concealed defects in the mechanism of an auto-
mobile or other object, which may be responsible for serious
accidents or death of persons. The value of this device in
thwarting criminals is very apparent and makes an important
addition to the scientific equipment contained in this Bureau.
The second piece of equipment before referred to is the
"White Drill," purchased for the purpose of repairing photo-
graphic equipment. This work had been done by commercial
concerns, but is now performed, to the greatest possible extent,
by photographers attached to this Bureau, resulting in a large
saving.
Pantoscopic Camera.
One of the most valuable pieces of equipment in the Bureau
is the Pantoscopic camera, used for the purpose of taking
photographs of bullets connected with homicide cases. By
means of this camera the entire circumference of the bullet
showing cannelure impressions made as it passes through the
barrel of the revolver can be photographed. Impressions
shown by the photograph of this bullet are carefully compared
with impressions of a test bullet fired from a revolver believed
to have been used in the homicide. If the test bullet and the
real bullet disclose the same cannelure impressions, there is
strong presumption created that the revolver under examina-
tion was the one used in the homicide.
Developing and Printing Room.
Developing and printing of criminal photographs by mem-
bers of this Bureau has, since its existence, saved thousands
of dollars. The original practice of having this work done by
46 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
private photographers necessarily led to great expense and
delay. A staff of experienced photographers trained in every
phase of police photography and on duty twenty-four hours a
day, is prepared to accomplish any photographic need of the
Department, and to give that type of service which could be
rendered only by the most modern and best equipped
photographer.
In conjunction with increased demands constantly made
on this staff of technicians, and in order that their work might
be maintained on an efficient basis, there has been installed
in the Bureau a developing and printing room which compares
favorably with that of any in this locality.
Installation of this "dark room" has many favorable advan-
tages. It is located on the same floor as the Bureau where
all photographs of prisoners are taken, thus eliminating necessity
formerly followed of developing and printing in a separate part
of the building. The room is large, containing twice the floor
space of the old room, has large sinks for washing films, a
Ferrotype dryer and other equipment for production of work of
high standard. This has been one of the major changes in
recent years in the Bureau and represents a definite forward
step in the photographic division.
Filing System of Photographs and Fingerprints of Unidentified
Dead.
A modern development of the photographic division was the
installation of a filing system wherein fingerprints and photo-
graphs of unidentified dead are filed. The fingerprints are
first sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps, in such cases where the persons
are of enlistment age, in an effort to identify these dead. Fail-
ing in this, they are filed in the Bureau of Records for future
reference. Through this method, a large proportion of the
tentatively unidentified dead were later identified and their
relatives notified.
Single-F^inger print Files.
The single-fingerprint files have great potential value in
making identifications of persons committing crime. Hereto-
fore, single fingerprints, or two or three, as the case might be,
taken at the scene of the crime, were valuable only for com-
parison with the ten fingerprints of the person under suspicion.
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 47
whether his prints were then in our files or taken later. There
was no method of filing latent fingerprints taken at the scene of
crime up to comparatively recent origination of the single-
fingerprint system of filing by Chief Inspector Battley of the
Fingerprint Di^'ision of Scotland Yard, England. The Battley
system of single-fingerprints is installed in the Bureau of
Records, and does not weaken in any way the standard system
of filing fingerprints, but is a very valuable addition thereto.
There are, at present, on file in this Bureau, 20,100 Battley
smgle fingerprints and 2,050 latent fingerprints which are
compared with all in-coming single fingerprints.
Fingerprint System Practically Eliminating Bertillon System.
The fingerprint system has practically eliminated the Ber-
tillon system as means of criminal identification. During the
year identity of hundreds of criminals was established for this
and other departments through the fingerprint files of this
Bureau. Identification of persons wanted for murder and
robbery while armed was among the most important made.
Civilia n-Fingerprint File.
Another important development of this Bureau was institu-
tion of the civilian-fingerprint file, wherein are kept finger-
prints of certain license applicants w'ith suitable index attached.
Its Use in Connection With Applicants for Licenses.
By means of the segregated file, it is impossible for a person
with a criminal record, whose fingerprints are on file, to obtain
a license under an assumed name, because by comparing his
fingerprints with those in the civilian-fingerprint file, it is a
matter of only a minute to determine whether the particular
applicant has ever had, or applied for, a license before. There
are now contained in the civilian files fingerprints and criminal
records, if any, of 13,883 hackney carriage drivers, 641 sight-
seeing automobile drivers and 4,586 special police officers.
Displacement of Conley-Flak System of Fingerprint
Classificafion.
The Conley-Flak system of fingerprint classification and
filing, in operation in the Boston Police Department since in-
stallation of fingerprints in 1906, has been entirely displaced
and supplanted by the Henry Modified and Extended System
48 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
of Fingerprint Classification and Filing, as used in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D. C.
In order to effect the change, some 150,000 fingerprints were
carefully checked by operatives, the formula on each was re-
vised, and a new type of filing card made out for each set of
fingerprints, together with complete criminal record of each
subject typed thereon, showing dealings of the individual with
various law enforcement agencies throughout the country. In
such cases where a criminal subject used one or more aliases^
cross-reference cards were made and filed in addition to the
main card.
In effecting transformation of systems from the Conley-
Flak to the Henry, all fingerprints of persons, who are either
now dead or so old that their criminal career is definitely at an
end, were removed from the active file and placed in a separate
file for future reference. Hundreds of duplicates were taken
from the files and placed in other inactive files. A final
examination was then made to insure correct filing of every
fingerprint and record card. At this writing, it can be truth-
fully said that the fingerprint system of the Boston Police

Services of a Draftsman from the Personnel.
A modern development of the Bureau of Records is the
service of an expert draftsman, one of the personnel, who drafts
scenes of crimes for presentation as evidence in court, to aid
the government in prosecution of its case by showing the jury
the exact location and surroundings at the scene. During the
course of the year, the draftsman visited scenes of various
serious crimes where he took measurements and later drew to
scale twenty-seven individual plans. Twenty of these have
been used as exhibits in the following courts within jurisdiction
of Boston:
Municipal Court 4 days.
Grand Jury of Suffolk County 7 days.
Superior Court 30 days.
In addition, ten special drawings or paintings (miscellaneous)
were also made for the use of the Police Department.
Some of these drawings have not as yet been exhibited in
any court, but will be presented when the cases to which they
relate come to trial.
The drafting room is fully equipped with all necessary instru-
ments required for efficiently handling this work.
Criminal Records for the Department Furnished by the Bureau.
All criminal records for the entire Department are furnished
by the Bureau of Records, as well as certified copies of con-
victions for presentation in courts, both here and in other cities :

Identification Made Through Fingerprints.
Our fingerprint men are often called on to testify both in
our courts and in courts of other jurisdictions, when identifica-
tions are made in our files through fingerprints; also, where
identifications have been made through latent prints.
Photographers of the Bureau are summoned principally
before courts of this city, but on occasions where connections
are made with latent fingerprints for outside cities, the photog-
rapher, who enlarges the prints for purpose of charting them
for presentation as evidence in court, is also summoned into
court to enable the photographs to be properly introduced.
There have been many occasions in the past when chiefs of
police of outside cites and towns have asked for services of
fingerprint and photography experts, in consequence of crime
committed in their jurisdiction. The Department cooperated
by sending these men, properly equipped, to survey the scene
of crime and reproduce any prints available for evidence.
Missing Persons.
The Missing Persons Division, a branch of the Bvu'eau of
Records, is performing a fine type of service to citizens of
Boston and surrounding cities and towns. Its chief function
necessarily is to aid families in the location of their relatives
reported lost or missing. It performs valuable service in
identification of luiknown dead persons found in various
sections of the city whose relatives had been located. With-

out this service, such dead persons might have been interred
with those unfortunates in potter's field.
During the course of the year, the Missing Persons Division
cooperated with various State institutions in the location and
return of many wards who had left these institutions without
permission.

During the past j^ear there was an increase in the total
number of persons reported missing of 353 cases over the
previous year. This was due in the main to the number of
persons reported missing to this Department from outside
departments.
In connection with the "teen-age" girl problem, a record of
individual ages was kept for the past seven months of girls
reported missing in the City of Boston. Other than those
cases where the girl was 21 years of age or over, it clearly shows
that females of 15 and 16 years of age were the most frequent
offenders, and those between 13 and 17 years, inclusive, to be
the "problem" group. See the following table.

Warrant File.
Procedure as to Warrants Issued to or Received by this Department^
The warrant file for the entire Police Department is kept in
the Bureau of Records. A hst of all warrants issued to or
received by this Department is sent out each day on the
manifold and every officer in the Department receives a copy
of this fist. Twenty-four hours after issuance of a warrant, if
the person named therein has not been arrested, a form card is
forwarded to the Bureau of Records by the station house with
all data pertaining to the warrant and the case. These cards
are alphabetically filed so that almost instantaneously it may
be ascertained whether a warrant exists in the Department
for any person named. On service of the warrant another
card goes forward to the Bureau of Records with necessary
information of service.
Warrants Received from Outside Departments, Etc.
All warrants received from outside departments are cleared
through the warrant files of the Bureau of Records. All
correspondence pertaining to movement of warrants outside
of the city proper is handled in that Bureau. Commanding
Officers of this Department are required, under the rules and
regulations, to notify the Warrant Division of arrests on war-
rants issued to the Boston Police Department and on warrants
of all other poHce departments; also when arrests are made
without a warrant involving serious crimes. The rule applies
to this procedure every hour of the day and night. The
warrant files are immediately searched. If it appears that
there is a warrant for the arrested person in any other jurisdic-
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 55
tion, the officer in command of the arresting division or unit
is immediately notified and given full particulars, and such
other police division or unit in Boston or outside jurisdiction
is immediately notified that the person is under arrest.

Establishment and Purpose.
On December 14, 1936, there was estabUshed in the Bureau
of Records a summons file for the purpose of facilitatmg service
of summonses. All summonses for service outside the City of
Boston obtained by the several divisions and units are for-
warded to this Bureau where they are recorded and sent to the
Chief of Police of the city or town where a defendant resides-
Summonses received from other police departments for service
in this city are in the same manner recorded and sent to the
respective divisions and units for service and, after service has
been made, are returned.
The following figures represent summonses received from
outside cities and towns for service in Boston from December 1,

TRAFFIC.
The Traffic Division consists of territory within boundaries
of Divisions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 16, and the traffic post at Cottage
Farm Bridge, Division 14. Primarily, it is the duty of the
Traffic Division to enforce rules and regulations established
by the Boston Traffic Commission and to provide for safety of
the public using our highways within this territory. Traffic
officers are assigned to vital traffic control points as well as to
special duty of tagging automobiles parked on our streets in
violation of law.
The Traffic Di^'ision is responsible for proper control of
licensed hackney carriages and the duty of carrying on a pro-
gram of Safety Educational work.
Activities.
During the past year the usual traffic problems were pre-
sented to the Traffic Division. There has been a tremendous
increase in pedestrian traffic arriving each day by the Boston
Elevated System, bus lines and railroad trains in addition to
thousands of employees working in defense plants, who go to
and from work by automobiles passing through some part of
the city. There has been in the vicinity of the North and
South Stations such a marked increase in vehicular traffic,
such as buses, trucks and convoys of soldiers, that additional
traffic officers have been placed at vital intersections at unusual
hours for the purpose of facilitating traffic. The opening of
retail stores on Monday and Wednesday evenings has also
necessitated a redistribution of traffic officers.
Tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles, many
of which come from other states, have been the cause of con-
gestion in the market district as well as in other sections of the
city. Such conditions have necessitated placing of officers in
the market area as early as 6 a. m. to control traffic conditions
and make streets passable, so that serious congestion will not
result. It is believed this business has attained such pro-
portions that terminals should be required. Trucks almost as
long and as wide as the average freight car now drive through
the city streets. No doubt, they have been made for economic
handling of goods, but congestion caused by them has become
almost intolerable. Their economic value could be con-
siderably increased and traffic congestion greatly alleviated by
use of terminals. Freight and express coming into Boston
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 57
could be unloaded at conveniently-placed terniinaLs and goods
could be sorted for smaller trucks to deliver to various stores
and warehouses. It is believed that the long-haul cost from
terminal-to-terminal would thereby be reduced and a good
deal of useless mileage and congestion within the city limits
eliminated.
Arrangements were made for the control of traffic in connec-
tion witli the following events:

bile public would be inconvenienced as little as possible.

traffic-detour signs to be placed in streets during parades, while
streets are under repair and* during emergencies.
The Traffic Division has always exerted every effort to en-
courage visitors to come to our city and to assist them in every
way possible. These visitors patronize our hotels, places of
entertainment and business establishments. Every courtesy
is extended to them by officers of the Traffic Division in rela-
tion to the parking of their automobiles whenever this can be
done without hindering free movement of traffic. Thus, the
Police Department gains new friends, and it is pleasing to know
that many visitors take back to localities from which they came
a pleasant thought of the treatment accorded them while stop-
ping in Boston.
Arrangements were made for the most advantageous routes
to destinations and escorts were furnished for many distin-
guished visitors and organizations, some of which are enum-
erated as follows: Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox; Austra-
lian Cadets; Madame Chiang Kai-shek; Mexican Ambassador
and party ; group of distinguished Russian women ; Lieutenant-
General Ben Lear; Women's Defense Corps; Guadalcanal hero
"Barney" Ross; heroes of the "Memphis Bell"; Major General
Ralph Royce and party; American Federation of Labor group;
Archbishop Karekin Hovsepian, and Prime Minister Churchill.
Traffic Conditions.
In essence the Traffic Division is making e^Try effort to
have the city become so attractive for residence and business
that the tendency to move beyond its limits will be stopped.
Studies in automobile traffic have uncovered many facts bearing
on the problem. So many passenger cars are coming into the
"Inner Cordon," the portion of the city bounded by the Basin,
the Charles River, the Harbor, and Charles, Stuart and Ejiee-
land streets, that occasionally a little congestion results.
Parking has always been a most troublesome problem for the
traffic police. Traffic rules and regulations are established by
authorities other than the police; nevertheless, it is the duty of
the police department to enforce these regulations, and this we
try to do in an intelligent manner, governed by our years of
practical experience. The police know the difficulties of their
task and have knowledge of legal and other limitations affecting
action that can be taken or even attempted, which are unknown
to critics and advisors.
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 59
Situated as Boston is, especially in the crowded section, with
its narrow and crooked streets and tlie variety and extent of
uses to which they must be put, tlie business section of Boston
bears not the remotest resemblance to anything that can be
found on the American continent, or, perhaps, in the whole
world. The police cannot widen or straighten the streets and
neither have they the power to reduce the number of vehicles
or persons using them. Their task is to enforce the rules and
regulations which have been made for the common good.
Everyone recognizes and has recognized for years the increasing
difficulties of the street situation. The police, who have created
none of these difficulties, are constantly doing all that their
numbers and authority permit for relief of the public. In the
midst of conflicting interests, our police officers have been
soundly instructed to exercise courtesy and act patiently upon
all occasions.
New problems have come about as a natural consequence of
war. A boom era, such as we are now experiencing, affects all
in some way or other, expecially the police. During the past
year or longer, the Traffic Division has been confronted with
the serious responsibility of assisting and escorting convoys and
other vehicles of the United States Government through streets
of our city as rapidly as possible, consistent with safety, in order
that they might arrive at their destinations promptly and
without difficulty. Escorts, in all instances, have been pro-
vided to meet at various parts of our city line, such convoys of
trucks, containing soldiers and equipment from the different
army camps, and at times under most trying conditions; but
there was never an occasion where such duties failed to come to
a most successful close.
Safety Educational Automobile.
Our Safety Educational automobile has been in continuous
operation on the highways of Boston during the past several
years, educating motorists as to the proper manner in which
they should operate their automobiles and instructing pedes-
trians as to the proper place and manner in which they should
cross the street. Through constant and persistent short
safety talks by officers assigned to this automobile, the general
pubhc is rapidly becoming more accident conscious.
Each Saturday, between the hours of 9 and 9.30 a. m., broad-
casts are given over a local radio network by members of the
60 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
M-1 Safety Squad. It has a membership consisting of children
of school age, 16 years and under.
During the past year many requests have been received for
the Safety Educational car to visit other cities and towns to
give talks along safety lines to various groups of children and
adults, and in particular, to auxiliary police officers and air-
raid wardens.
At the Park Department playgrounds, during the summer
months, many "Safety Shows" were provided for children.
The Safety car may be seen at all important parades and at
Park Department baseball and football championsliip games
in Fenway Park. The car has also been used in cooperation
with the Massachusetts Public Safety Committee on Boston
Common and at various other locations during demonstration
of air-raid precautions, assisting greatly by use of its loud
speaker in preventing injury to spectators and impressing on
their minds need for greater safety.
The car, with its officers, has also been called on many times
to appear at gatherings of employees of large trucking concerns,
telegraph offices, theatres, civic and fraternal organizations,
and other business establishments, where safety talks have
been given to employees of these various concerns or to persons
in attendance at the meetings. Many schools and organizations
outside the city have been accommodated in like manner, upon
request.
As a result of this program conducted by the Safety Edu-
cational car, many complimentary letters have been received
from persons in various walks of life.
Tagging.
During the period from December 1, 1942, up to and in-
cluding November 30, 1943, the Traffic Division issued ap-
proximately 52,000 notices for violations of the "parking"
rules established by the Boston Traffic Commission. Such
notices were forwarded through the United States mail to
owners of offending automobiles, or by service in hand to the
operators.
The decrease in the number of violation notices issued during
1943, in comparison with last year, shows a better spirit of
cooperation on the part of automobile owners.

Conclusion.
It is pleasing to know that during these perilous times, when
there is so much talk about invasion to our shores, that officers
of the Traffic Division, by reason of training, organization, and
intimacy with traffic problems, are best suited to direct and
control traffic in an emergency. Their competence in this
respect is demonstrated by expertness with which they handle
large groups, particularly at times of parades, large gatherings
at recreation parks and other groups of a like character. Then,
too, they are familiar with the highways. Not only are they
aware of the volume of traffic in evidence on any particular
roadway, but they likewise know the characteristics of such
traffic. With these gifted qualities, the presence of the uni-
formed traffic police officer in the street brings about a feeling
of security to the general public. These same officers have
especially proven their worth during recent "blackout" and
"alert" tests in our city and their conduct under these con-
ditions brought favorable comment from the press and radio.
The value of the uniformed traffic policeman in the street
was never more graphically emphasized than on the afternoon
of Friday, February 5, 1943, when Patrolman James A. Powers,
then of the Traffic Division, on duty at the intersection of
Massachusetts avenue and Boylston street, performed what is
believed to be the most outstanding act of valor during the
current police year. This officer fearlessly intercepted a
dangerous gunman in the commission of a serious crime. He
was fired upon by the gunman, but through timely preparation,
the officer having taken his revolver from his pocket, exercised
the good judgment that comes only from experience, and was
instrumental in removing from society a very dangerous
criminal.
62 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
BUREAU OF OPERATIONS.
Creation.
This Bureau was created on July 11, 1934.
The Bureau was detached from the Superintendent's Office
and estabhshed at PoUce Headquarters as a separate unit,
April 2, 1937.
Duties.
This Bureau has control of all communications equipment,
consisting of telephone, teletype, radio and telegraph and
through its facilities has directed movement of radio cars,
police boats, and ambulances.
The vast majority of all telephoned complaints, reports and
requests for information from the general public and other
police departments, military organizations and organizations
connected with the Civilian Defense program was handled by
officers of this unit.
Accomplishments.
During this period, from December 1, 1942, to November 30,
1943, personnel of the Bureau managed transmission, reception
and handling of :
247,310 outgoing telephone messages and 5,071 toll calls
made by the Department through our switchboard.
Approximately 320,000 emergency telephone messages
received and handled at the turret through either "Devon-
shire 1212" or the Department inter-communicating
system.
Approximately 475,000 telephone messages received
through our switchboard, many of which were transferred
■ to the turret for handling.
Due to the war and other emergencies the number of
telephone calls has increased. This has necessitated
installation of another panel or unit on the switchboard,
including additional lines, and has also required additional
operators, four on day duty and two on each night tour of
duty.
Direct lines have also been installed connecting this
unit with report centers, telephone exchanges, utility
companies, etc.

BALLISTICS UNIT.
Formation and Duties.
The activities of this Unit, with its personnel, are under
the supervision of the Superintendent of PoHce.
With a Sergeant-Balhstician in charge, the office consists
of experts in balhstics, moulage, explosives and munitions,
also a gunsmith.
The Sergeant-Ballistician, under the direction of the Super-
intendent of Police, has charge of the care and custody of
all firearms, explosives and substances of explosives coming
into possession of the police.
The Sergeant-Ballistician examines all evidence found at
the scene of a crime where firearms or explosives are used
and sends a written report to the Superintendent of his findings.
The Sergeant-Ballistician prepares cases where ballistic
evidence is required insofar as bullets, shells, firearms or explo-
sives are concerned and appears before the courts in such cases
to give evidence.
The Sergeant-Ballistician has custody of emergency equip-
ment such as rifles, shot-guns, machine-guns, gas guns,
revolvers, pistols, bullet-proof vests and tear-gas equipment
and maintenance of same.
Accomplishments.
During the year members of this Unit responded to 40
emergency calls after regular working hours and performed
1,053 hours of extra duty in this manner. Members of this
Unit spent 82 daj^s in court on ballistic and moulage cases.
For efficiency of the L^nit the following material was added
to the equipment: 100 Official Police Commando type .38-
calibre special revolvers, 100 gas ma.sks, equipped with new type
canisters for all military gases, 200 hand-lights and 2 large
gun baths for cleaning rifles, shotguns, revolvers, pistols,
machine-guns and gas guns.
The follo\ving equipment was serviced and repaired: 500
revolvers, 110 riot guns, 20 gas guns, 4 gas masks, 110 gas
billies and 2 gas projectors. In addition to the foregoing,
the following equipment located at the various police divisions
and units was serviced : 200 riot guns, 20 gas guns, 10 Thompson
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 65
sub-machine guns, 110 gas billies, 145 gas masks, 60 bullet-
proof vests, tear-gas munitions and 4 high-powered rifles.
Substantial savings were made by repairing our own equipment.
All firearms held as evidence pending disposition by the
courts, and those held for ballistic purposes, are kept clean and
recorded.
Stolen firearms received at this office are traced and returned
to the rightful owners and a file maintained of same. Any
United States property recovered is returned to the Spring-
field Armory, United States Ordnance Department.
Fifteen groups, consisting of members of the Army, Navy,
Coast Guard and Marine Corps, have visited the Unit during
the year. Between three and five hundred servicemen were
shown through the Unit. Also, members lectured to military
groups in metropolitan Boston.
During formation of the Auxiliary Police Force this office
issued 5,000 riot clubs, 5,000 flash fights and 20,000 batteries
to the various divisions for their use, and 5,000 white helmets
were also issued. The riot clubs were numbered at this Unit.
Through courtesy of the Police Commissioner, the Adjutant-
General of the Massachusetts State Guard sent the following
firearms to this Unit from the State Guard Supply Depot:
15,000 shotguns, 750 Thompson sub-machine guns, 300 Reising
machine guns and 25 gas guns. These weapons were stamped
with the State serial number, cleaned, inspected and serviced.
A number of groups of State Guard officers have received
instructions in assembling and disassembling the Thompson
and Reising sub-machine guns and nomenclature of same and
in the proper means of handling explosive bombs and suspicious
packages.
During the year members of this Unit attended lectures and
demonstrations given by the Boston Fire Department and
various military groups on the subjects of bombs, firearms, and
civil cooperation with Army regulations. A course in Bomb
Disposal Reconnaissance given at Fort Devens was attended
by a member of this Unit and information obtained passed on
to members of the Department.
This office has worked in cooperation with the Army, Navy
and Coast Guard Intelligence during the year.
Members of the Military Police were instructed in the
science of Ballistics at this Unit.
66 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
The portable -lighting equipment, department property-
assigned to this office, was used at various times throughout the
year.
MOULAGE.
Substance known as moulage was utilized to good advan-
tage on several occasions. Specimens were used in court to
establish proof in breaking and entering cases.
Serial Numbers on Firearms.
There were a number of cases where serial numbers on fire-
arms, locks, instruments and other objects were erased and
had to be treated with chemicals to reveal the numbers for
identification, resulting in tracing ownership of most of these
articles.
Tear-Gas Munitions.
Members of the Department were instructed in the use of
tear-gas munitions during drills held at the First Corps Cadets'
armory, and at the West Roxbury revolver range during the
summer months.
Several groups of State Guard officers and enlisted men were
instructed in the use of tear-gas munitions at the Camp Curtis
Guild rifle range, Wakefield, Mass.
Disposition of Confiscated Explosives.
During the past year a number of grenades, projectiles.
Mills bombs, fixed ammunition, dynamite and caps, railroad
torpedoes, powders and war souvenirs, which had come into
possession of the police from various sections of metropolitan
Boston, were delivered to the Bomb Disposal Officer, First
Service Command.
Examination of Suspected Bombs.
The portable X-ray equipment assigned to this office was
used frequently to examine suspected bombs, various types of
explosives and all packages of suspicious nature. The danger
of injury or possible death in removing these materials was
thereby eliminated.
Miscellaneous.
An interchange of evidence is carried on by this Unit with
all Federal agencies and police departments. Bullets and
shells are mailed to other enforcement agencies to aid in the
arrest of criminals.
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 67
All evidence in homicide cases is properly marked and
stored in the vault of this office until needed by the courts.
The police divisions and units are now equipped with a
sufficient supply of emergency equipment to handle any situa-
tion. Periodic inspections are made and equipment replaced
whenever necessary.
The motor truck attached to this Unit has been equipped
with all necessary material for emergency purposes.
68 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
CRIME PREVENTION BUREAU.
Creation.
This Bureau, created August 9, 1943, is established as a
separate unit of the Department, with quarters upon the fourth
floor of Police Headquarters building.
Formation.
The Bureau is under command of a Deputy Superintendent
(designated as Director), who is assisted by the following
police personnel: 2 Lieutenants, 2 Acting-Sergeants (Patrol-
women), 19 Patrolmen, and 12 other Patrolwomen.
The personnel is divided into two divisions: male juveniles
being handled by Patrolmen, and female juveniles by Patrol-
women.
Purpose.
To meet the pressing problem of juvenile delinquency which
faces law-enforcement agencies today, the Bureau was formed.
Law enforcement having direct contact with crime, the
police are obligated to take an aggressive and corrective role in
aiding and establishing programs of crime prevention.
Juvenile delinquency, if left unchecked, tends to result in a
national calamity.
Sworn officers of the law, pledged to prevent crime, have a
grave responsibility, and must do their part to carry out their
obligations intelligently and effectively.
The Department, recognizing the need of such action,
established the Bureau.
Duties in General.
1. Develop a program of crime prevention, intended
to eliminate factors that induce criminal tendencies among
children.
2. In this program, enlist aid of the public, interested
agencies and divisions and units of this Department.
3. Teach good citizenship, develop a proper mental
attitude of citizens toward law-enforcement agencies, and
especially to educate the public and the police in the
problem of crime prevention and suppression.
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 69
4. Determine persons and places which in any way
contribute to delinquency of children; investigating and
taking necessary action to correct such conditions.
5. Supervise and inspect places of public amusement.
6. Promote welfare of children, the sick, the aged and
the needy; taking pains to locate missing persons.
7. Investigate cases concerning boys and girls, and
assist in investigation of cases where women are involved.

Limitation of Hackney Carriage Licenses.
Under provisions of Section 4, Chapter 392, Acts of 1930,
as amended by Section 1, Chapter 280, Acts of 1934, the Police
Commissioner was required to fix a limit for the number of
hackney carriage licenses to be issued, which limit shall be
based upon the number of licenses then issued and outstanding
but shall not be in excess of 1,525, and he may from time to
time, after reasonable notice and hearing, decrease the number
so fixed, but in no event to number less than 900.
In accordance therewith, the Police Commissioner, July 20,
1934, by General Order to the Department, set the number of
hackney carriage licenses to be in force at 1,525,
Subsequently, the Police Commis.sioner, after publication
of reasonable notice in the Boston daily newspapers and after
public hearing, November 28, 1939, by General Order to the
Department, announced (effective as of January 6, 1940) that
the limit for the number of hackney carriage licenses to be
issued under the reference in law herein set out was decreased
to 1,200; provided, however, that the announcement shall not
90 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
affect, in any way, the rights of any existing licensee to renewal
of his license under provisions of said amending section.
The Police Commissioner further announced in said sub-
sequent General Order, effectiye as of January 6, 1940, that
hackney carriage licenses may be granted to the number
heretofore established (1,525), except that no further original
licenses shall be granted until the number of hackney carriage
licenses outstanding shall have been reduced to less than 1,200
by cancellation or revocation or the failure of holders of licenses
to apply for renewals, and thereafter hackney licenses may
be granted only up to a total not exceeding 1,200.
If a hackney carriage license applicant is refused a license
by reason of the fact that the maximum number of licenses
limited under the Act, with amendment, referred to, has been
issued, the Department of Public Utilities, on petition of such
applicant, may after a hearing determine that public con-
venience and necessity require a higher limit than that fixed
by the Police Commissioner or previously established by said
Department, and shall establish the limit so required, in which
case the limit set by said Department shall be considered final
until change as herein provided.
Abolishing Special and Public Hackney Carriage
Stands.
In accordance with Chapter 508, Acts of 1938, —
"An Act with Relation to Pubhc Stands for the
Use of Taxicabs and Motor Vehicles for Hire in
Cities . . . ,"
accepted by the City of Boston, the Police Commissioner as of
February 11, 1939, at 7.45 o'clock, a. m., abolished all special
and public hackney carriage stands, granted in accordance with
Chapter 392, Acts of 1930.

In accordance with Chapter 508, Acts of 1938, referred to,

o'clock, a. m., established public taxicab stands in the City of
Boston, which stands are free and accessible to all taxicabs
whose owners are licensed by the Police Commissioner.
(See list of public taxicab stands on file in the office of
Inspector of Carriages.)
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 91

is 1,367 as compared with 1,369 in the previous year; this
number being limited in accordance with Chapter 280, Acts of
1934.
Private Hackney Stands.
Chapter 392 of the Acts of 1930, referred to, provides for
the occupation of private hackney stands (that is, upon private
property) by licensed hackney carriage owners.
During the year 20 applications (capacity 355 carriages) for
such private hackney stands were granted.
Sight-Seeing Automobiles.
By the provisions of Section 1 of Chapter 399 of the Acts of
1931, which went into effect June 9, 1931, the term "sight-
seeing automobile" was defined as follows:
"The term 'sight-seeing automobile' as used in this
act, shall mean an automobile, as defined in section one
of chapter ninety of the General Laws, used for the carry-
ing for a consideration of persons for sight-seeing purposes
in or from the city of Boston and in or on which auto-
mobile guide service by the driver or other person is offered
or furnished."
Previous to this enactment a sight-seeing automobile was
held to mean an automobile "which was capable of seating
eight or more persons and was used or offered for the transpor-
tation of persons for hire."
It is further provided by Chapter 399, Acts of 1931, as
amended by Chapter 93, Acts of 1933, that it shall be unlawful
for a person or corporation to offer or furnish service by a
sight-seeing automobile in or from the City of Boston, unless

of Pubhc Utihties a certificate, declaring that public con-
venience and necessity require such operation; and further,
it is provided that it shall be unlawful for a person to operate
said automobile as a driver in or from said city unless he is
licensed so to do.

become null and void by operation of law.

On June 3, 1942, the Pohce Commissioner directed that in
accordance with vote referred to, of the Department of Public
Utilities, in the paragraph immediately precedmg, it shall be
lawful for the owner of a licensed sight-seemg automobile to
transfer such sight-seeing automobile license to the class of a
Sight-Seeing Horse-Drawn vehicle, — the fee to be paid therefor
to the Police Department for such transfer to be the sum of
one dollar.
The Police Commissioner further stated that this permission
of transfer, from the type of a motor vehicle sight-seemg auto-
mobile to the type of a sight-seeing horse-drawn vehicle, is
permissible, notwithstanding suspension referred to of June 3,
1942, of sight-seeing automobiles, as contained in the notice of
the Department of Public Utilities.
Accordingly, insertion was made in the Rules and Regula-
tions of this Department to the effect that Rule 66 of said Rules
and Regulations, relating to Sight-Seeing Automobiles, shall be
inclusive of Sight-Seeing Horse-Drawn Vehicles and Drivers
thereof, insofar as they are applicable to meet the then present
conditions of the sight-seeing horse-drawn vehicle business.
1944.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 49. 93
Fees Therefor.
The fees for such sight-seeing horse-drawn vehicles, com-
parable to those for sight-seeing automobiles of similar seating
capacities, were established as follows:
For a sight-seeing horse-drawn vehicle designed to carry
not more than twelve persons, $10.
For a sight-seeing horse-drawn vehicle designed to carry
more than twelve but not more than eighteen persons, $15.
For a sight-seeing horse-drawn vehicle designed to carry
more than twenty-four persons, $50.
The following statement gives details concerning horse-
drawn sight-seeing vehicles and stands:
Sight-Seeing Horse-Drawn Vehicles and Stands.
Horse-drawn sight-seeing vehicles granted 7
Sight-seeing stands for horse-drawn vehicles granted ... 6
Continuing with .our practice, "new" sight-seeing drivers
for the year commencing as of March 1, 1943, were fingerprinted
as in the case of "new" hackney carriage drivers, and their
records, if any, searched for in the Bureau of Records.
The fingerprint blank with any record thereon was made a
part of and considered with the application to drive.
There were seven sight-seeing drivers' licenses granted.
Issuing of Tags for Hackney Carriage Violations.
The system of issuing tags to drivers for violation of rules has
continued to show good results. During the past year, 6,391
tags were issued to taxicab drivers for various violations.
Twelve hundred thirty-one penalties were imposed, and 79
revocations were made, the remainder being reprimanded and
warned and a record filed for future reference. This system of
discipline has continued to result in relieving courts of many
minor cases which would tend to congest their dockets.
There still continues to be a minimum of crime among the
3,951 drivers licensed by the Police Commissioner.
Appeal Board.
In accordance with Hackney Carriage Rules and Regula-
tions, hackney carriage drivers and owners dissatisfied with
findings of the Inspector of Carriages, have the right of appeal
94 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
to the Commissioner, provided appeal is made in writing within
forty-eight hours of date of finding.
Such appeals are heard by an Appeal Board, consisting of
a Deputy Superintendent of Police and two Captains, desig-
nated by the Commissioner.
Hearings on such appeals shall be public; the appellant shall
have the right to be represented by counsel, to introduce evi-
dence and to cross-examine witnesses.
The Board shall file its report and recommendations with
the Commissioner who takes such action thereon as he deems
advisable.
In accordance with such provision, many matters of appeal
from imposition of penalties (as well as fitness of applicants for
hackney carriage drivers' licenses whose applications had been
rejected) were referred by the Commissioner to the Board.
Supervisory Force.
Since February 11, 1939, when public taxicab stands were
established in accordance with the law," and then existing
special and public hackney carriage stands abolished, the super-
visory force of the office of Inspector of Carriages (now con-
solidated with the Traffic Division) enforced rules and regula-
tions of this Department relating to conduct at and occupancy
of public taxicab stands by licensed hackney carriage drivers.
In addition, during the past year, such supervisory force
has been very busy in the Blue Hill avenue section of Boston,
suppressing activities of taxicab operators who engage in
illegal practice of bringing so-called "loads" to the intown
section of the city, in violation of Section 1, Chapter 408, Acts
of 1931, which reads as follows:
"No person shall, except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, operate any motor vehicle upon any pubHc way
in any city or town for the carriage of passengers for hire
in such a manner as to afford a means of transportation
similar to that afforded by a railway company, by indis-
criminately receiving and discharging passengers along
the route on which the vehicle is operated or may be
running. . . ."
This policy has resulted in reducing these activities to a
minimum, and the procedure will be followed continuously until
such illegal practice has ceased.

WAGON LICENSES.
Licenses are granted to persons or corporations to set up and
use trucks, wagons or other vehicles to convey merchandise
from place to place within the city for hire.
During the year, 59 applications for such licenses were re-
ceived, 57 were granted, one was cancelled for non-payment and
one was disapproved. (See Tables XIV, XVI.)
Commencing as of July 1, 1931, two kinds of wagon licenses
were issued:
1. For the licensee who operated from an office, garage,
stable or order box, the license stated that it was "Not at a
designated stand in the highway."
2. For the licensee who required a definite stand, the
license stated that it was "For a designated wagon stand
in the higliAvay."
Applications for such designated stands were accompanied
by written approval of owners, lessees or official representatives
of abutting property.
Of the 57 granted, 38 were for licenses from offices, garages,
stables or order boxes, and 19 were for designated stands in the
highway.
Note.
Legislation affecting motor vehicles transporting property
for hire :
Chapter 122, Acts of 1937; effective June 21, 1937.
"No person holding a certificate (common carrier) or a
permit (contract carrier) issued under the provisions of
(Chapter 264, Acts of 1934, by the Department of Public
Utilities) and authorizing the transportation of property
for hire by motor vehicle within the City of Boston shall
be required to obtain a license from the Police Commissioner
for said city on account of such transportation or the use of
motor vehicles therein."
The legislation referred to did not affect customary procedure
of this Department in issuing a "wagon" license for a horse-
drawn vehicle or for a handcart to convey merchandise for hire.
96 POLICE COMMISSIONER. [Jan.
A motor vehicle for which there has been issued a certificate
or permit by the Department of Pubhc Utihties, authorizing
transportation for hire, shall not be required to be also licensed
by the Police Commissioner on account of such transportation
for hire in this city.
However, should it be intended to locate such motor vehicle
at a designated stand in the highway in the business of trans-
portation for hire, the owner thereof, to lawfully occupy such
designated stand, has no alternative but to take out a "wagon"
license to be granted by the Police Commissioner.
