WHY DID the Police Board ask the International<br />
Association of Chiefs of Police<br />
(IACP) do a survey of the <strong>Chicago</strong> Police<br />
Department?<br />
The reason is that there are still a few "doubting<br />
Thomases" around who persist in raising questions<br />
about the need for more foot patrolmen, the use of<br />
one-man cars, the wisdom of withdrawing detectives<br />
from district stations, the question of "too much<br />
paper-work," the need for "detective patrols," the<br />
state of morale on the Department, etc.<br />
The IACP report answers all of these questions and<br />
more.<br />
Members of the Police Board felt that it was desirable<br />
to have objective answers to these questions<br />
and an evaluation of our progress by a reputable and<br />
informed group of outsiders whose <strong>com</strong>petence in<br />
the police field could not be challenged. Now we have<br />
it. A distinguished panel consisting of Daniel Liu,<br />
Chief of Police of Honolulu and president of the<br />
IACP; Herbert T. Jenkins, Chief of Police of Atlanta<br />
and 1st vice president of IACP; and Colonel Earle W.<br />
Garrett, a well known police management consultant,<br />
has <strong>com</strong>e in with its findings:<br />
"Law enforcement in <strong>Chicago</strong> IS on a<br />
sound footing."<br />
"That more has not been done is solely<br />
due to time limitations."<br />
"The progress of the last four years has<br />
been nothing short of phenomenal."<br />
"What has transpired in <strong>Chicago</strong> . ..<br />
demonstrates above all the unbeatable <strong>com</strong>bination<br />
of aggressive, knowledgeable leadership<br />
and dedicated City administration<br />
support."<br />
We members of the <strong>Chicago</strong> Police Department<br />
knew it all the time, didn't we?<br />

Gen. Franklin M. Kreml, president of the<br />
Police Board, informs the press of the<br />
IACP survey and, together with O. W. Wil·<br />
son, reviews the group's findings .
