<br />I
<br />.1
<br />
<br />WE fEEL IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PAY OUR POLICEMEN COMPARATIVELY WELL
<br />IN AN EffORT TO ATTRACT A GOOD CALIBRE OF MEN IN THE fIRST PLACE AND ELIMI-
<br />NATE THE HIGH RATE OF TURNOVER WHICH EXISTS AT THE PRESENT TIME.
<br />
<br />A POLICEMAN 15 CALLED UPON TO BE AN AMBASSADOR, JUDGE, QUICK-THINKER,
<br />STRONG-MAN, AND AN ALL-AROUND NICE GUY. . CERTA.lNLY WE WANT MEN Of THIS
<br />TYPE ON OUR POLICE fORCE. IN ORDER TO GET THEM WE SHOULD BE WILLING TO
<br />PAY A fAIRLY GOOD WAGE.
<br />
<br />:1
<br />
<br />.' WE TH I NK THESE MEN .SHOULD BE ABLE TO START AT !30MEWHERE BETWEEN $350
<br />AND $400 A MONTH AND THEN EARN CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN THAT - POSSIBLY UP
<br />TO $600 A MONTH - AS PATROLMEN, AfTER A REASONABLE NUMBER Of YEARS EX-
<br />PERIENCE.. . WHEN WE. SAY THIS WE ARE NOT REfERRING TO CAPTAIN'S AND CHIEf'S.
<br />SALARIES BECAUSE WE ARE fIGURING THAT WITH GOOD MEN ON THE fORCE WE WON'T
<br />HAVE SO MUCH TURNOVER AND WE'LL HAVE PATROLMEN WITH FIVE TO fl~TEEN,
<br />POSS I-BL YTWENTY, YEARS Of. SERV ICE.

<br />
<br />WE THINK THAT LOW SALARIES ARE CERTAINLY NOT GOOD ECONOMY BECAUSE Of
<br />THE HIGH COST Of TRAINING A MAN. THE TURNOVER ,THAT. WE HAVE, EXPERIENCED
<br />FOR. THE .LAST NUMBER Of YEARS HAS CERTA I NL Y- RESULTED -I N DUMP I NG A LOT Of
