FOR  THE 


CITY  OF  BOSTON 


FOR  THE 


YEAR  ENDING  DECEMBER  31,  1966 


FRONT    COVER 

The  front-cover  montage  symbolizes  the  protection  afforded 
the  citizens  of  our  cit\-.  Whether  on  land  or  water,  the  Boston 
Police  Department  has  a  vehicle  \Yhich  can  reach  the  scene  of 
a  crime  or  render  assistance  to  the  sick  or  injured  in  a  very 
short  time. 

The  police  boats  cruise  the  harbor:  cars  are  on  constant 
district  patrol;  motorcycles  are  busy  with  road-law  violators; 
scooters  reach  sections  of  the  city  which  are  inaccessible  to 
other  vehicles:  and  police  horses  patrol  parks  and  wooded  areas. 

The  little  boy  in  the  center  is  printing  a  message  of  "im- 
portance'' to  the  people  in  our  city.

OFFICE   OF    THE    COMMISSIONER 


January  1,  1967. 
Hon.  John  F.  Collins, 
Mayor  of  the  City  of  Boston. 

Dear  Mr.  Mayor: 

In  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Revised  Ordinances 
of  1961,  Chapter  3,  Section  25,  I  am  submitting  herewith  the  annual 
report  of  the  Boston  Police  Department  for  the  year  ending  December 
31.  1966. 

This  report  outlines  the  activities  of  the  department  and 
its  members  during  the  period  and  reflects  the  changes  and  improve- 
ments made  in  our  methods  and  procedures  in  a  continuing  effort  to 
provide  the  highest  level  of  safety,  security,  and  service  for  the 
citizens  of  this  community. 

In  our  constant  effort  to  combat  those  crimes  which  occur 
during  the  nighttime  hours,  we  have  added  more  men  and  equipment  to 
our  Tactical  Patrol  Force.   This  mobile,  flexible  force  is  assigned 
for  duty  during  periods  of  highest  crime  incidence,  and  now  has  a 
plainclothes  and  detective  squad,  in  addition  to  the  uniformed, 
canine,  and  mounted  units. 

During  1966  this  department  inaugurated  a  city-wide  com- 
munity relations  program  under  the  Community  and  Internal  Affairs 

Division.   Its  primary  purpose  is  to  develop 
immediate  and  long-range  plans  for  police- 
community  relations  programs  on  a  neighborhood 
basis.   The  program  has  been  designed  to  set 
up  individual  workshops  on  each  of  the  thir- 
teen police  districts,  with  the  district 
commander  acting  as  chairman  of  his  district 
workshop.   Each  district  commander  will  there- 
by be  in  touch  with  civic,  religious, 
educational,  and  social  community  leaders  who 
wish  to  discuss  local  problems. 

I  take  this  opportunity  to  express 
my  appreciation  to  the  members  of  the  Boston 
Police  Department  for  their  loyalty,  dedi- 
cation to  duty,  and  the  efficient  manner  in 
which  they  have  carried  out  their  various 
assignments. 

I  also  wish  to  thank  you  and  your 
office  for  the  excellent  assistance  and  co- 
operation extended  to  me  and  the  department 
during  the  past  year. 

Respectfully  submitted. 


POLICE  COMMISSIONER 


JOHN     F.     COLLINS 

MAYOR 


CITY  OF  BOSTON 

OFFICE  OF  THE  MAYOR 

CITY  HALL.  BOSTON 


To  the  Members  of  the  Boston  Police  Department: 

In  this  era  of  great  social  upheaval  and  increasing  public 
awareness  of  the  problems  of  personal  safety  and  security,  the  role  of 
the  police  and  their  duty  performance  is  being  subjected  to  a  most 
critical  study,  evaluation,  and  review.   Never  before  in  history  has 
the  field  of  law  enforcement  been  surveyed  in  so  many  ways,  from  so 
many  directions,  by  so  many  people.   All  of  these  conclusions  reveal 
one  dominant  theme:   Crime  in  America  is  closely  associated  with 
poverty,  unemployment,  and  slums. 

It  is  in  the  large  core  cities  that  these  social  ills  are 
the  most  acute.   The  decay  of  the  inner  cities  has  brought  in  its 
wake  a  disproportionate  amount  of  crime,  delinquency,  and  disorder. 
This  challenge  can  be  met  only  by  massive  federal  funds,  drastic 
social  reforms,  and  a  total  public  commitment.   Federal  assistance  to 
municipal  law  enforcement  is  an  absolute  necessity  to  most  efficiently 
combat  crime  in  these  changing  times. 

The  task  of  providing  the  quality  of  law  enforcement  and 
community  services  expected  of  the  police  has  become  one  of  the  most 
difficult  and  sensitive  responsibilities  of  modern  city  government. 
The  fabric  of  contemporary  city  living  cannot  endure  without  effective 
law  enforcement  to  hold  it  together.   As  we  come  to  the  close  of  1966 
the  members  of  the  Boston  Police  Department  are  to  be  again  commended 
for  carrying  out  their  assignments  with  a  high  level  of  dedication  and 
competence . 

Sincerely, 


Mayor  of  Boston

OFFICE  OF  POLICE  COMMISSIONER 

ADVISORY    BOARD 

Like  many  city  police  departments  throughout  the  world,  the  Boston  Police  Department  has  been  under- 
going significant  changes  in  both  personnel  and  organization.  Changes  have  come  about  only  after  intensive  re- 
search and  long  deliberation  which  necessarily  involve  many  different  branches  and  di\'isions  of  the  department. 

The  men  who  make  recommendations  to  the  Police  Commissioner  must  possess  extensive  experience  in 
the  fields  of  police  patrol,  traffic  management,  records,  communications,  personnel,  and  training. 

Below  are  the  officers  who  serve  as  the  Police  Cormnissioner's  Advisory  Board.

Supervision  of  the  staff  necessary  to  operate  the  Office  of  the  Police  Commissioner  is  the  responsibility  of 
the  Administrative  Assistant.  Upon  him  falls  the  duty  of  maintaining  a  smooth  flow  of  information,  correspond- 
ence, and  communications  from  and  to  the  Commissioner.  This  sensitive  position  maintains  a  liaison  between  the 
Commissioner's  office  and  all  branches  of  the  department,  as  well  as  with  other  city  agencies,  civic  organizations, 
the  news  media,  and  outside  police  departments.

BUREAU  OF  FIELD  OPERATIONS 

The  administration  and  direction  of  all  personnel  assigned  to  line  functions  such  as  crime  prevention,  pro- 
tection of  life  and  property,  and  the  apprehension  of  those  who  violate  the  law  best  describe  the  objectives  and 
purposes  of  the  Bureau  of  Field  Operations. 


TACTICAL   PATROL    FORCE 

During  ig66  the  Boston  Pohce  Deparment  increased  the  size  of  its  Tactical  Patrol  Force  in  an  effort  to 
combat  the  ever-increasing  number  of  crimes  that  occur  during  the  nighttime  hours.  A  plainclothes  and  detective 
unit  has  now  been  added  to  the  canine,  mounted,  and  street-patrol  sections. 

This  increase  in  strength  has  been  utilized  almost  exclusivelj'  at  night,  with  the  entire  Tactical  Patrol 
Force  normally  working  between  the  hours  of  7  p.m.  and  3  a.m.  The  increased  surveillance  has  been  concentrated 
mostly  in  the  high-crime  areas.  These  areas  are  determined  by  statistical  reports  and  analyses,  prepared  and  dis- 
tributed by  the  Planning  and  Research  Division  of  the  department. 

During  iq66  the  canine  units  were  called  141  times  to  make  searches  of  buildings  or  to  look  for  lost  persons. 
This  activity  constituted  a  minor  portion  of  their  routine  patrol  work  throughout  the  city.  The  tactical  force  com- 
piled a  record  of  720  arrests  during  1966.  Twenty-four  of  its  members  were  commended  for  meritorious  work,  and 
five  of  its  members  were  awarded  departmental  medals  of  honor  and  valor. 


PATROL   DIVISIONS 

Fourteen  police  districts  provide  the  City  of  Boston  with  a  24-hour  patrol  force  designed  to  protect  the 
lives  and  property  of  its  citizens.  The  Patiol  Division  undertakes  the  preliminary  investigation  of  incidents,  with 
the  result  of  their  investigations  not  only  making  up  the  permanent  records  of  the  department,  but  also  serving  as 
the  basis  for  follow-up  investigations  by  the  Criminal  Investigation  Division.  For  administrative  purposes,  the  city 
is  divided  into  two  areas  designated  as  Patrol  Division  ''A"  and  Patrol  Division  "B.''  Patrol  Division  "A"  in- 
cludes Districts  I,  2,  4,  6,  7,  8,  and  15.    Patrol  Division  "B"  includes  Districts  3,  5,  q,  10,  11,  13,  and  14.

District  Eight  is  responsible  for  patrolling  Boston  Harbor,  which  is  58.7  square  miles.  The  commanding 
officer  of  this  district  also  serves  as  Harbor  Master  for  the  Port  of  Boston.  He  assigns  anchorage  locations  for  all 
ships  and  yachts  ertering  or  remaining  in  the  harbor.  The  harbor  itself  is  patrolled  on  a  24-hour  basis  by  three 
police  boats.     During  1966  there  were  699  domestic  and  911  foreign  vessels  that  arrived  at  Boston  Harbor. 


Three  Bo\s  Sa>ed  from  Drifting  Raft  b\   Harbor  Police 


This  district  also  contains  the  Emergency  Service  Unit  and  the  Bomb  Squad.  These  units  carry  all  of  the 
necessar}'  equipment  needed  to  cope  with  anj-  type  of  emergency  that  might  arise.  They  can  handle  all  explosives 
in  an\-  situation,  whether  it  be  da}-  or  night,  on  land  or  on  water.  In  addition  to  being  able  to  do  this,  the  Bomb 
Squad  is  qualified  to  detonate  explosives  where  demolition  is  required  to  protect  the  lives  and  safety  of  the  general 
public. 


CITY    PRISON 


City  Prison  is  located  on  the  ground  floor  of  the  new  Courthouse  Building  on  Somerset  Street,  Boston. 
It  has  separate  facilities  for  male  and  female  prisoners.  The  Male  Section  is  staffed  by  Boston  policemen  and  is  a 
place  for  the  temporar\-  detention  of  all  persons,  other  than  juveniles,  under  arrest. 

All  female  prisoners  are  brought  to  the  "Women's  Section,  which  is  under  the  supervision  of  a  chief  matron 
and  assistant  matrons,  all  of  whom  are  ci\'ilians.  All  prisoners  at  City  Prison,  unless  they  are  otherwise  released,

TRAFFIC    DIVISION 

The  jurisdiction  of  the  Traffic  Division  encompasses  Districts  One,  Two,  Four,  and  the  intersection  of 
Commonwealth  Avenue  and  Boston  University  Bridge  on  District  Fourteen.  It  is  responsible  for  the  regulation 
and  control  of  traffic  and  the  enforcement  of  traffic,  pedestrian,  and  parking  regulations  within  this  area.  This 
division  pro\-ides  a  safety  patrol  and  a  traffic  analysis  unit,  both  of  which  operate  on  a  city-wide  basis. 

Notices  of  parking  \dolations  issued  by  this  division  during  the  year  1966  amounted  to  368,1 16.  The  city- 
w'ide  total  issue  by  the  entire  Police  Department  reached  695,081. 

Vehicles  towed  by  this  division  for  reasons  of  traffic  obstruction  or  serious  violation  of  parking  regulations 
tallied  4,699. 

Citations  for  m.o\'ing  \aolations  numbered  3,485.  Of  this  figure,  845  warnings  were  given  and  2,640  court 
citations  were  issued.  Officers  of  this  di\-ision  also  checked  a  total  of  1,717  operators  under  the  "  Operation  Sixteen" 
program,  i.e.,  a  license  check  of  operators  of  motor  vehicles  who  appeared  to  be  under  sixteen  years  of  age. 

Pedestrian-law  citations  issued  by  this  di\'ision  during  the  period  from  April  i,  1966  (the  date  the  pedestrian 
program  became  effective),  until  December  31,  iq66,  amounted  to  7,074. 

The  Safety  Patrol  Unit  pro\'ided  a  two-school-per-da\-  schedule  of  safety  talks  and  demonstrations.  This 
operation  was  extended  to  outdoor  recreational  facilities  during  school  vacation  periods.  The  patrol  also  super\dsed 
a  weekly  program  on  safet}^  subjects  broadcast  through  the  facilities  of  Station  WEZE  in  Boston. 

The  Accident  Analysis  Unit  assimilated,  analyzed,  and  evaluated  both  collisions  reported  to  the  police  by 
operators  and  collisions  reported  by  police  personnel  who  investigated  at  the  scene.  About  20,000  such  reports  are 
processed  annualh',  and  from  the  information  obtained,  remedial  recommendations  are  made  which,  through  selec- 
tive enforcement,  eft'ecti\'ely  control  the  accident  problem  throughout  the  city.

AUXILIARY   SCHOOL   PATROL 

To  release  policemen  from  school-crossing  patrol,  and  still  provide  protection  for  schoolchildren,  female 
school-crossing  supervisors  have  been  employed  for  several  years.  They  have  authority  as  special  officers  to  enforce 
laws  and  regulations  relating  to  the  operation,  parking,  and  use  of  motor  vehicles  in  areas  adjacent  to  schools  and 
school  crossings.     At  the  present  time  the  department  employs  141  smartly  uniformed  traffic  super^dsors.

CRIMINAL  INVESTIGATION  DIVISION 


It  is  the  responsibility  of  this  division  to  perform  follow-up  investigations  of  criminal  cases.  For  adminis- 
trative purposes  it  functions  with  the  following  subdi\-isions :  Crimes  Against  Persons  Section ;  Crimes  Against  Prop- 
erty Section;  General  Investigation  Section;  Youth  Aid  Section;  Vice  Control  Section;  Technical  Service  Section; 
and  District  Detective  Section. 

Special  units  are  assigned  to  cover  the  following  phases  of  police  work:  homicide,  robbery,  automobile 
cases,  worthless  checks  and  frauds,  lost  and  stolen  property,  hotels,  pawnbrokers,  junkshops,  secondhand  dealers,

Chemist  Checking  Liquid   Found  at   Recent   Crime 


Members  of  the  Criminal  Investigation  Division  investigate  felonies  committed  within  the  juiisdiction 
of  the  City  of  Boston.  They  also  process  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  countries. 

Personnel  attached  to  this  division  and  assigned  onlj-  to  Headquarters  participated  in  over  ,^5,000  exami- 
nations and  investigations  of  crimes,  crime  scenes,  evidence,  weapons,  explosives,  as  well  as  reports  of  noncriminal 
incidents.  As  a  result  of  these  investigations  some  1,470  arrests  were  made.  These  statistics  do  not  include  the 
work  performed  bj-  detectives  assigned  to  the  fourteen  police  districts;  their  work  is  tabulated  on  the  district  of 
assignment. 

The  officers  of  this  di\Tsion  were  responsible  for  the  recovery  of  many  thousands  of  dollars  worth  of  missing 
or  stolen  properties  including  cars,  furs,  jewelry,  clothing,  etc.  Officers  attached  to  the  Domestic  Relations  Unit 
were  responsible  for  a  potential  saving  of  over  §312,000  to  the  City  of  Boston  as  a  result  of  their  investigation  and 
prosecution  of  cases  involving  welfare  recipients  resulting  from  court  orders  to  pay  for  the  support  of  children. 

To  better  imderstand  the  comjDlex  nature  of  the  investigations  which  came  within  the  purview  of  this  divi- 
sion, the  following  is  a  recital  of  the  types  of  examinations  and  tests  performed  b}-  members  of  the  Crime  Laboratory, 
a  unit  of  the  Criminal  Investigation  Division.  The  Laboratorj-  becomes  more  and  more  important  to  the  policeman 
in  the  area  of  discovering  and  securing  e\ndence.

YOUTH   AID   SECTION 


Youth  aid  officers,  although  officially  attached  to  the  Youth  Aid  Section  (a  Headquarters  unit),  are  as- 
signed to  specific  police  districts  and  are  generally  considered  to  be  members  of  the  district  to  which  they  are  as- 
signed.   At  the  present  time  at  least  one  youth  aid  officer  is  attached  to  each  of  the  existing  police  districts. 

During  ig66,  youth  aid  officers  arrested  and  prosecuted  i.ySi  male  and  440  female  juveniles.  The  officers 
also  brought  2,225  niale  and  550  female  juveniles  to  their  district  stations  for  questionirg  in  regard  to  criminal 
offences,  and  then  released  them  to  their  parents  for  discipline,  without  court  action. 


Getting  Acquainted 


OPERATION  SIXTEEN 

In  recent  years  this  department  has  been  beset  by  a  persistent  increase  in  the  number  of  auto  thefts.  For 
the  year  1965  we  experienced  12,913  of  these  thefts,  contrasted  with  3,502  back  in  iq6o.  Although  about  92  percent 
of  the  vehicles  are  taken  for  joyrides  and  most  arc  recovered  within  seventy-two  hours  after  theft,  this  type  of  crime 
still  presents  serious  problems  to  the  pubHc  and  the  police. 

Because  of  the  magnitude  of  these  problems,  the  department  developed  a  program  entitled  "Operation 
Sixteen."  This  program  consists  of  license  and  registration  checks  of  all  motor  vehicle  operators  appearing  to  be 
under  sixteen  years  of  age.  The  prime  purpose  of  this  program  was  to  bring  about  a  prevention  of  auto  thefts  rather 
than  to  effect  increased  arrests  of  young  persons  for  this  offense. 

During  its  first  year  of  implementation  there  were  121,744  motor  vehicle  operators,  who  appeared  to  be 
under  sixteen  years  of  age,  stopped  for  a  license  and  registration  check,  and  Boston  consequentl}'  showed  a  reduction 
of  998  auto  t'hefts  for  the  year  1966.

BUREAU  OF  GENERAL  SERVICES 

The  administration,  management,  and  operation  of  a  large  complicated  organization  that  deals  chiefly  in 
ser\-ices  to  a  tax-pa\-ing,  budget-conscious  citizenr}-,  requires  a  modem  centralized  system  to  direct  and  control  the 
myriad  problems  created  by  the  need  for  records;  communications  to  be  maintained;  personnel  to  be  trained;  and 
the  constant  effort  to  maintain  a  high  degree  of  efficienc\-  in  all  areas  of  police  work.  This  is  the  responsibility  of 
the  Bureau  of  General  Ser^^ces,  which  is  di\-ided  into  the  Central  Services  Division,  the  Records  and  Communica- 
tions Division,  and  the  Personnel  and  Training  Division. 


CENTRAL  SERVICES  DIVISION 

The  Central  Ser\nces  Division  has  the  direct  responsibility  of  all  building  and  equipment  maintenance; 
the  care,  custodj-,  and  processing  of  nondepartmental  property  and  inventory;  and  the  custody  and  distribution 
of  all  departmental  suppHes  and  equipment.  This  di\asion  is  also  responsible  for  the  processing  of  all  licenses  that 
are  issued  by  the  PoHce  Cominissioner. 

Satisfactory  maintenance  and  repair  of  pioperty  and  equipment  greatly  affect  the  efficiency,  morale,  and 
prestige  of  the  police  service  and  have  a  direct  bearing  on  good  public  relations. 


BUILDING   MAINTENANCE   SECTION 

The  Building  Maintenance  Section  is  charged  with  the  care,  maintenance,  supervision,  and  cleanHness 
of  all  police  btiildings.  Requests  for  repairs  or  maintenance  work  are  examined  by  members  of  this  tmit ;  then  a 
service  order,  containing  a  cost  estimate,  is  written  up  and  processed  through  the  Property  Clerk  so  that  the  work 
can  be  done  by  an  outside  contractor.  After  the  work  has  been  completed,  it  is  inspected  by  the  Superintendent  of 
Buildings,  who  approves  or  disapproves  of  the  work  done  by  signing  the  service  order,  which  allows  for  payment. 

At  the  present  time  the  Boston  Police  Department  is  constructing  two  new  district  stationhouses  which 
will  consolidate  four  existing  districts.    These  buildings  are  due  for  occupancy  late  in  1967  or  early  196S. 


PROPERTY   CLERK    SECTION 

The  Property  Clerk  Section  is  charged  with  the  care  of  lost,  stolen,  and  abandoned  property;  money  or 
other  property  alleged  to  have  been  illegally  obtained;  and  all  articles  and  propeity  taken  from  persons  arrested  for 
any  cause.  In  its  custody  are  also  placed  all  seized  liquor  and  gaming  implements  which  come  to  the  attention  of 
the  department. 

All  orders  for  supplies,  uniforms,  and  equipment  are  issued  by  this  office. 

During  the  year  iSi  motor  vehicles  came  into  the  custody  of  this  office;  twenty-six  vehicles  were  released 
to  legitimate  claimants;  and  252  vehicles  were  sold  at  public  auction.  There  are  now  seventeen  motor  vehicles  in 
custody.

cycle shop  where,  on  ySq  occasions,  motorcycles  were  repaired  and  serviced  during  the  vear. 

This  unit  is  responsible  for  the  inspection  of  all  department  vehicles,  all  garages  in  the  various  districts, 
and  is  required  to  investigate  and  report  on  all  accidents  involving  department  vehicles.

RADIO   MAINTENANCE  SECTION 

The  Boston  Police  Department's  Radio  Maintenance  Section  consists  of  one  sergeant  and  eleven  radio- 
technician  policemen.  It  is  responsible  for  the  repair,  maintenance,  and  operation  of  all  radio-communication 
equipment  used  by  the  Boston  Police  Department. 

The  continued  advances  in  the  radio-communications  field  demands  that  this  unit  keep  abreast  of  all  the 
latest  techniques  available,  to  pro\'ide  the  Boston  Police  Department  with  as  modern  and  complete  a  communica- 
tions system  as  is  attainable.  Because  of  the  continuing  change  of  equipment-design  these  technicians  have  man- 
aged, by  a  program  of  self-training,  to  keep  ahead  of  the  problems  in  radio  maintenance.  By  the  utilization  of 
police  personnel  for  this  communications  work  area,  the  department  has  realized  a  greater  efficiency  and  higher 
calibre  of  service,  and  these  men  are  subject  to  call  at  any  time. 

During  1966  the  members  of  the  unit  have  converted  the  major  portion  of  the  existing  mobile  radio-units 
into  a  two-frequency  system.  The  result  is  a  reduction  of  the  workload  on  the  existing  emergency  channel.  This 
system  is  functional  and  can  be  placed  into  operation  as  needed.  At  the  present  time  this  unit  is  engaged  in  plan- 
ning the  addition  of  equipment  for  providing  routemen  and  mobile  units  with  equipment  for  personal  communica- 
tions both  with  their  respective  districts  and  with  Headquarters. 

The  Radio  Maintenance  Section  operates,  around  the  clock,  a  radio  shop  containing  facilities  and  equip- 
ment for  repair  and  maintenance  of  all  department  communications  equipment.  Personnel  of  this  shop  also  install 
the  mobile  units  used  by  the  department. 


Mobile  Turret,  Used  in  Case  ot  Emergency 


27 

A  completely  equipped  mobile  communications  van  is  garaged  at  the  radio  shop  for  immediate  activation 
in  case  of  a  disaster  or  other  protracted  incident.  This  van  is  manned  by  department  technicians.  The  communi- 
cations van  contains  walkie-talkies,  mobile  telephones,  a  public  address  system,  and  all  radio  equipment  necessary 
to  replace  Headquarters  dispatching  facilities  when  necessari^ 

Because  of  the  complexities  associated  with  communications  and  with  the  advent  of  new  technology,  this 
section  is  constantly  searching  for  better  and  more  complete  communications  methods,  so  as  to  provide  better  pro- 
tection  for  our  citizens.

PERSONNEL   AND   TRAINING    DIVISION 


PERSONNEL   SECTION 

During  the  year  1966  the  Personnel  Section  of  the  Bureau  of  General  Services  continued  its  program  of 
microfilming  inactive  personnel  files.  This  unit  also  processed  the  semiannual  personnel  performance-evaluation 
reports  which  are  used  by  this  department  to  detennine  training  requirements  for  the  future. 

Three  recruit-patrolmen  classes,  totaling  114  officers,  30  permanent  and  25  pro^^isional  meter-maids,  44 
permanent  and  25  provisional  .school  traffic-crossing  guards  all  were  processed  .luring  the  course  of  the  year. 

From  Januarx-  i,  1066,  to  Dccemljer  31,  1066,  i,oSi  police  officers  were  examined  hv  Dr.  Robert  O'Xeil 
Blackburn,  department  police  physician,  at  the  Boston  Police  Clinic,  S18  Harrison  Avenue,  Boston.  Included  in 
this  number  were  the  prospective  police-recruit  candidates,  as  well  as  police  personnel  who,  as  the  result  of  an 
accident  or  injury  on  or  off  duty,  an  illness,  or  other  physical  disability  which  resulted  in  their  absence  from  duty 
were  referred  to  the  clinic  by  the  Personnel  Section. 

In  the  caje  of  prccpective  rcciuit  officers  a  careful  and  comprehensive  examination  is  made,  including  an 
emotional-stability  test  to  determine  their  fitness  for  the  position  of  patrolman. 

TRAINING   SECTION 

Police  Academy  personnel  continued  in  their  drive  to  enlighten  department  personnel  with  up-to-date 
knowledge  of  all  recent  Massachusetts  and  United  States  Supreme  Court  decisions  which  afTect  the  proper  per- 
formance of  dut>-  by  a  police  officer.  All  officers  having  attended  the  required  course  of  instruction  at  the  Academy 
were  furnished  copies  of  these  important  decisions. 

The  practice  of  inviting  guest  lecturers  has  been  continued  throughout  the  past  vear.  This  has  proved 
to  be  most  beneficial  to  both  the  recruit  and  seasoned  police  officer.  It  has  given  them  a  dearer  insight  into  their 
powers,  i-esponsibilities,  and  duties  with  relation  to  their  fellow  law  enforcement  officers  and  agencies.  Specialists 
within  the  Boston  Police  Department  have  willingly  assisted  Academ>-  personnel  by  making  themselves  available 
to  appear  before  the  assembled  students  and  present  their  particular  facet  of  work  which  reflects  the  practical 
ever\-da\-  police  procedures  consonant  with  current  law. 


'/  Refuse  to  Talk  Till  I  See  A\y  La«\er- 


Printed  hand-out  materials  used  in  the  course  of  lectures  were  checked,  and  reprinted  after  revision  where 
necessar}',  to  bring  this  information  up  to  date  prior  to  its  being  distributed. 

The  monthly  Department  Training  Bulletin,  published  b\'  the  staff  of  the  Academy,  was  prepared  to 
inform  each  officer  of  recently  enacted  changes  in  Massachusetts  and  United  States  laws  and  decisions.  The  bulle- 
tin, coupled  with  the  "Training  Key,"  a  bimonthly  publication  of  the  lACP,  containing  the  latest  information  on 
modern  police  methods  and  techniques,  is  distributed  to  each  officer  of  this  department  for  his  information  and 
guidance. 

The  Boston  Police  Reloading  Unit,  an  intricate  subdivision  of  the  Police  Academy,  in  its  annual  report 
submitted  relative  to  ammunition  used  for  training  purposes  b}-  our  police  personnel,  stated  that  officers  using  the 
Police  Academy's  indoor  range  used  5,200  rounds,  and  officers  attending  the  lequired  two  sessions  at  the  Moon 
Island  revolver  range  used  256,850  rounds. 

An  intensive  course  of  instruction  in  the  care,  use,  and  handling  of  all  types  of  weapons  is  given  to  all 
persons  of  this  department  and  other  law  enforcement  agencies  which  requested  the  use  of  our  range  under  the 
guidance  of  our  qualified  instructors. 

During  this  past  3'ear  5,146  persons  attended  the  range,  146  of  whom  were  members  of  law  enforcement 
departments  and  agencies  other  than  the  Boston  Police  Department.

BUREAU  OF  INSPECTIONAL  SERVICES 

The  responsibility  of  keeping  the  executive  officer  of  any  large  police  department  as  well  informed  as 
possible  in  matters  dealing  with  personnel,  recruits,  organized  crime,  civic  groups,  and  the  updating  of  all  depart- 
mental methods  and  procedures,  belongs  to  the  Bureau  of  Inspectional  Services. 

This  bureau  is  divided  into  two  di\asions  designed  to  accomplish  specific  objectives:  the  Staff  and  Com- 
munity Affairs  Division  and  the  Planning  and  Research  Division. 


STAFF  AND  COMMUNITY  AFFAIRS  DIVISION 

STAFF    INSPECTION   SECTION 

The  Staff"  Inspection  Section  is  generally  responsible  for  inspecting  the  appearance,  conduct,  and  duty 
performance  of  department  personnel  and  the  physical  condition  of  equipment  and  facilities;  the  manner  in  which 
supervisory  personnel  discharge  their  command  responsibilities;  the  degree  of  compliance  by  personnel  with  depart- 
mental rules,  regulations,  orders,  and  procedures;  the  making  of  such  other  types  of  field  inspections  as  will  enable 
the  division  to  determine  the  unifonnity  and  efficiency  of  the  department's  field  operations;  and  is  responsible  for 
conducting  the  annual  department  survey. 

Inspections  of  all  department  records  are  conducted  to  determine  completeness,  accuracy,  filing,  storage, 
and  accessibility.  An  evaluation  is  made  of  the  department's  operating  procedures,  orders,  and  methods,  and  their 
practical  effects,  in  order  to  secure  and  assess  the  reaction  to  existing  or  proposed  procedures,  orders,  and  methods; 
and  to  recommend  the  desirabilitv  of  changes  therein. 


Community  Relations  Staff 


32 

COMMUNITY  AND  INTERNAL  AFFAIRS  SECTION 

On  July  I,  i()()6,  the  Boston  Policc-Coniiinniity  Relations  Program  was  established  in  the  department 
under  a  central  coordinator.  The  program  is  designed  to  create  a  channel  of  communication  between  the  public 
and  the  police  that  is  both  accessible  and  flexible.  The  program's  structure  consists  of  a  police-community  steering 
committee  functioning  in  each  of  the  police  districts  under  the  chairmanship  of  the  local  district  commander.  These 
steering  committees  aie  centrally  connected  through  the  police-community  relations  coordinator  to  the  Staff  and 
Community  Affairs  Division  at  Police  Headquarters. 

Thus  far,  steering  committee  meetings  have  been  very  successful.  Preliminary  discussions  at  steering 
committee  meetings  have  included  a  wide  range  of  subjects,  such  as  handbag  thefts,  car  thefts,  teen-age  drinking, 
youth  programs,  senior  citizenship  participation,  and  development  of  recruitment  programs  for  law  enforcement. 

The  internal  affairs  officers  of  this  section  investigate  all  complaints  involving  conduct  of  personnel.  De- 
partment polic\-  requires  that  every  complaint,  no  matter  of  what  importance  or  justification,  be  investigated. 
A\'hen  a  citizen  wishes  to  make  a  complaint,  he  is  personall>-  inter\-iewed.  If  the  complaint  is  of  a  serious  nature, 
an  affidavit  is  taken;  then  the  person  or  jjersons  complained  of  are  interviewed,  and  the  entire  case  is  reviewed  by 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  section. 

This  section  is  also  responsible  for  pre-employment  interviewing,  background  checking,  and  the  screening 
of  new  applicants  for  the  position  of  recruit-patrolman  in  this  department. 


CRIMINAL  INTELLIGENCE  SECTION 

This  section  is  responsible  for  keeping  the  Police  Commissioner  informed  about  organized  crime  and  ths 
activities  of  known  criminals  in  the  city. 

The  personnel  of  this  section  have  compiled  a  compreiiensive  file  on  the  activities  of  known  criminals, 
organi/;ed  crime,  and  various  groups  which  require  police  surveillance.  A  file  is  also  kept  on  locations  which  have 
been  used  for  criminal  activity  in  the  past,  or  which  are  suspected  of  being  used  presently  for  any  criminal  activity. 
This  information  is  made  available  to  all  members  of  the  department. 

In  addition  to  furnishing  the  various  districts  and  units  of  the  department  with  information— much  of 
which  has  been  instrumental  in  the  solution  of  a  large  number  of  crimes  committed  within  this  cit\'— this  section 
maintains  close  liaison  with  other  departments  and  agencies  at  local,  state,  and  federal  levels. 


PLANNING    AND    RESEARCH    DIVISION 


DATA    PROCESSING    SECTION 

During  1966  the  Boston  Police  Department  was  chosen  as  one  of  fifteen  law  enforcement  agencies  to 
join  with  the  National  Crime  Information  Center  at  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Invescigation  Headquarters  located  in 
Washington,  D.C.  The  initial  connecting  link  will  be  a  ro5o  IBAI  terminal  device  which  \\'ill  be  transmitting 
selective  information  on  stolen  cars,  stolen  guns,  identifiable  stolen  property  of  substantial  value,  and  renditable 
wanted  felons.     It  is  expected  that  interconnecting  agencies  will  multiply  greatly  in  the  immediate  years  ahead. 

Boston's  Planning  and  Research  Division  spent  a  great  part  of  iq66  laying  the  groundwork  for  a  computer 
installation  that  is  expected  in  the  middle  of  igOy.  It  is  hopeful  that  within  the  next  >-ear  Boston's  computer  will 
be  interfaced  with  the  national  computer  in  Washington. 


33 


Boston's  Police  Department  was  privileged  to  have  its  Commissioner  Edmund  L.  McNamara  selected  as 
the  1966  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Uniform  Crime  Reports  Section  of  the  International  Association  of  Chiefs 
of  Police.

PLANNING  AND  RESEARCH    SECTION 

Police  planning  is  a  staff  operation  which  continually  analyzes  the  operations  of  the  department  with  a 
view  towards  improving  procedures  and  developing  new  methods.  It  maintains  constant  communications  with 
other  units  of  the  department  both  in  formulating  new  programs  and  in  infoiming  line  units  of  crime  trends  through 
evaluation  of  reported  offenses.  This  section  also  provides  assistance  to  the  Bureau  of  Field  Operations  relative  to  the 
deployment  of  men  and  equipment  in  the  form  of  statistics,  charts,  and  maps  which  help  to  pinpoint  problem  areas.

m.ent  stored  on  the  shore  of  the  lake  and  a  male  child  in 
the  water,  which  was  partially  ice-covered.  The  child 
was  about  fifty  feet  from  shore,  holding  on  to  a  thin 
accumulation  of  ice,  and  appeared  to  be  near  exhaus- 
tion and  in  immediate  danger  of  drowning. 

Patrolman  Spinale  ran  to  the  shore  where  he  dis- 
robed to  his  underclothing  and,  in  complete  disregard 
for  his  own  safety,  entered  the  water  and  began 
swimming  with  great  difficulty  to  the  assistance  of  the 
child,  breaking  the  ice-covered  surface  with  his  hands. 
He  reached  the  child  and  took  him  back  to  shore. 
Upon  reaching  the  shore  Patrolman  Spinale  was  ex- 
hausted and  unable  to  remove  himself  from  the  w-ater. 
He  passed  the  child  to  two  other  officers  who  were 
successful  in  re\'iving  him  and  removed  him  to  Boston 
City  Hospital. 

Patrolman  Spinale  was  assisted  from  the  water  and 
was  administered  oxygen  prior  to  his  being  removed 
to  the  Boston  City  Hospital,  where  he  was  found  to  be 
suftering  from  exposure,  treated,  and  was  released.

Patrolman  Roland  ^\'.  Bird,  Jr.,  Patrolman  Robert 
E.  Federico,  and  Patrolman  Thomas  P.  Traynor  of  the 
Tactical  Patrol  Force  were  awarded  Department 
Medals  of  Honor  for  meritorious  police  duty  per- 
formed on  July   24,   1066. 

At  about  10  p.m.,  at  Massachusetts  and  Columbus 
Avenues,  where  Patrolman  Bird  was  assigned  and  when 
he  was  receiving  instructions  from  Patrolman  Federico 
and  Patrolman  Traynor  who  were  in  T.P.F.4  -8  car, 
he  observed  a  male  passenger  in  a  1966  Chevelle  con- 
vertible, which  was  in  motion,  stand  up  and  shoot  the 
operator  of  the  car.  The  operator  lost  control  of  the 
convertible,  which  struck  the  police  car,  forcing  it  onto 
the  sidewalk,  resulting  in  Patrolman  Bird's  striking 
his  head  on  the  roof  of  the  police  car.  The  man  with 
the  gun  ran  across  Massachusetts  Avenue  down 
Columbus  Avenue  towards  Northhampton  Street,  with 
Patrolmen  Bird  and  Tra>-nor  in  pursuit  on  foot,  while 
Patrolman  Federico  followed  in  the  police  car,  at  the 
same'time  notifying  the  Central  Complaint  Room  of 
the  shooting. 

Patrolman  Bird  drew  his  service  revolver,  ordered 
the  man  to  halt,  and  when  he  failed  to  do  so  fired  a 
warning  shot  into  the  air.  The  subject  turned,  pointed 
a  pistol   at  the   officers,  and  turned  into   an  alley. 


36 


Patrolman  Bird  fired  four  sliots  at  the  culprit  and  saw 
him  drop  to  the  ground.  The  officers  entered  the  alley 
and  found  the  subject  lying  face  down  and  a  .32- 
calibre  semiautomatic  German-make  steel  pistol  on 
the  ground  near  the  subject.  He  was  placed  under 
arrest,  removed  to  the  Boston  City  Hospital,  treated 
for  a  puncture  wound, and  placed  on  the  Danger  List. 
The  victim  of  the  initial  shooting  was  taken  to  the 
Boston  City  Hospital  from  che  scene,  suffering  from  a 
bullet  wound  of  the  right  chest,  and  placed  on  the 
Danger  List. 


Patrolman  Francis  R.  Walsh,  now  assigned  to  the 
Planning  and  Research  Division,  and  Patrolman  Remi 
C.  Kennedy  of  District  14  were  awarded  Department 
Medals  of  Honor  for  meritorious  police  dut\-  per- 
formed on  March  31,  1966. 

Patrolmen  Walsh  and  Kennedy,  assigned  to  the 
14-1  sector  car,  while  passing  a  market  on  Cambridge 
Street,  Allston,  at  about  10:25  p.m.,  noted  the  clerk 
was  not  behind  the  counter  in  the  liquor  store  section 
and  stopped  to  investigate.  Patrolman  Walsh  en- 
tered the  store  on  North  Harvard  Street,  and  Patrol- 
man Kennedy  covered  the  market  side  located  on 
Cambridge  Street.  As  Patrolman  Walsh  entered  the 
store,  he  was  met  by  the  owner  who  stated  he  had 
just  been  held  up  by  two  men  who  were  then  trying 
to  escape  through  the  other  section  of  the  store. 
Patrolman  "Walsh  heard  the  sound  of  the  glass  breaking 
and  observed  two  men  attempting  to  climb  through  a 
broken  window.  Patrolman  K  ennedy ,  from  his  position, 
saw  the  holdup  men,  and  ordered  them  to  stop.  One 
of  them  turned  and  had  what  appeared  to  be  a  gun  in 
his  hand.  The  officer  fired  three  shots  from  his  service 
revolver,  and  one  of  the  men  fell  to  the  ground;  the 
second  man  escaped.

Hospital,  was  found  to  be  suffering  from  a  gunshot 
wound,  and  placed  on  the  Danger  List.  The  owner  of 
the  market,  having  been  struck  on  the  head  during  the 
progress  of  the  holdup,  was  taken  to  St.  Elizabeth's 
Hospital  for  treatment  and  while  there  identified  the 
wounded  man  as  one  of  the  men  who  had  held  him  up.

awarded  a  Department  Medal  of  Honor  for  meritorious 
police  duty  performed  on  October  28,  1965. 

The  officer,  while  in  a  radio  patrol  car,  entered  the 
alley  in  the  rear  of  353  Commonwealth  Avenue  in 
response  to  a  disturbance  report  and  heard  a  man 
being  beaten  and  calling  for  help.  Upon  the  approach 
of  the  officer  the  assailant  fled  from  the  scene.  The 
victim  stated  he  had  been  robbed,  and  the  assailant 
was  armed  with  a  knife. 

Patrolman  MacDonald  gave  immediate  pursuit  and 
momentarily  lost  sight  of  the  assailant,  only  to  be 
confronted  by  him  in  a  darkened  section  of  the  alley. 
After  a  firce  struggle  the  officer  disarmed  the  assailant 
and  placed  him  under  arrest  for  robbery. 

The  assailant  was  taken  to  District  Four,  where  a 
search  of  his  person  disclosed  a  brown  leather  wallet 
containing  an  amount  of  currency  and  two  endorsed 
checks  as  well  as  personal  papers  of  the  ^^ctim.  The 
victim  identified  his  property  and  the  prisoner  as  the 
man  who  had  assulted  and  robbed  him. 

The  assailant  was  arraigned  in  Boston  Municipal 
Court  where  he  was  found  guilty  of  robbery  while 
armed  and  sentenced  to  Concord  Reformatory'.

About  5  p.m.  Detective  Friel,  assigned  to  special 
dut}-  on  Washington  Street,  Roxbury,  and  when  in  the 
area  of  Ball  Street,  observed  three  men  acting  in  a 
suspicious  manner.  Detective  Friel  kept  these  men 
under  surveillance  and  saw  them  enter  the  premises 
at  2043  Washington  Street.  Within  a  few  minutes 
he  proceeded  to  the  front  of  the  store,  looked  in,  and 
observed  an  elderly  woman  lying  on  the  floor  with  a 
coat  wrapped  about  her  head  and  heard  her  calling 
for  help  and  pleading,  "Stop  beating  me." 

Drawing  his  service  revolver.  Detective  Friel 
entered  the  store  and  surprised  the  men,  who  were 
in  the  act  of  committing  an  assault  and  unarmed 
robbery.  Still  unaided,  he  held  the  three  men  at 
gunpoint,  summoned  aid  from  a  passerby,  and  when 
assistance  arrived  had  the  victim  conveyed  to  the 
hospital  for  medical  treatment.

Medal  of  Honor  to  Detective  Frederick  J.   Friel 

While  assigned  to  radio  patrol  duty  on  District 
Four,  the  ofiicers  responded  to  an  audible  alarm 
sounded  from  a  store  on  Washington  Street.  The 
officers  went  to  the  rear  of  the  building  where  they 
observed  dense  smoke  coming  from  the  fourth  floor 
of  a  four-story  brick  tenement  and  business  building. 
The  officers  immediately  requested  fire  apparatus  via 
the  dispatcher  and  then  entered  the  building  to  arouse 
and  assist  the  tenants. 

Patrolman  Graham  went  up  the  rear  fire  escape 
and  entered  the  third  floor  through  a  window.  He 
came  upon  an  unidentified  male  and  assisted  him 
through  the  smoke  to  the  window  leading  to  the  fire 
escape.  He  returned  to  the  hallway,  aroused  a  man 
and  a  woman,  guided  them  to  the  window,  and  called 
to  the  firefighters.  A  ladder  was  raised,  and  the 
officer  assisted  the  couple  into  the  arms  of  the  fire- 
fighters. 

By  this  time  the  flames  and  smoke  had  increased 
in  density,  but  the  onicer  went  back  into  the  hallway 
and  came  upon  a  woman  with  an  infant  in  her  arms 
and  a  small  boy  clutching  her  clothing.  He  guided 
them  to  the  window  and  helped  them  to  escape  over 
ladders  with  the  firefighters.  Once  more  the  officer 
returned  to  the  hallway,  heard  a  male  voice  calling, 
and  assisted  a  man  to  a  window  and  onto  the  ladder. 
The  officer  left  the  building  by  climbing  down  a  ladder 
after  ascertaining  that  all  occupants  had  been  removed 
from  that  part  of  the  Ijuilding. 

In  the  meantime.  Patrolman  Charbonnier  had 
entered  the  front  of  the  Ijuilding  to  alert  the  tenants. 
He  assisted  two  women  with  children  down  the  stairs, 
then  re-entered  the  building  where  he  found  an  elderly 
man,  with  one  leg,  in  a  semicoUapsed  condition.  He 
carried  him  to  the  street  and  once  more  entered  the 
building,  only  to  be  driven  out  by  the  unbearable  heat.

THE  HUNDRED  CLUB 

OF  MASSACHUSETTS 

During  the  year  1959  a  group  of  philanthropic  businessmen  formed  an  organization  known  as  ''The 
Hundred  Chib  of  Massachusetts. " 

The  prime  function  of  this  organization  is  to  provide  financial  assistance  to  the  widows  and  dependents 
of  policemen  and  firefighters  who  have  lost  their  lives  in  the  line  of  duty. 

The  Boston  Police  Department  again  expresses  its  gratitude  and  appreciation  to  '■  The  Hundred  Club" 
for  the  invaluable  assistance  rendered  the  families  of  police  officers  who  have  given  their  lives  in  the  service  of  our 
community.
