Trenton, New Jersey, February 15, 1933. |
George B LaBarre, Esq.,
Director of Public Safety
Trenton, New Jersey.
Dear Sir:-
I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of the Bureau of Police for the year 1932.
Arrests for the year totaled six thousand one hundred and ninety-eight (6,198), almost twelve hundred less than the year previous. This figure does not include the more than five hundred (500) juveniles taken into custody and forthwith turned over to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, in accordance with the law. About one-quarter of the total arrests were attributable to violations of the State Motor Vehicle Act, the State Traffic Act and the City Traffic Ordinance, which figure amounts to one thousand five hundred and seventy-five (1,575), almost one thousand less than the year 1931
During the year the sum of eleven thousand eight hundred sixty-one dollars and fifty cents ($11,861.50) was collected in Police Court in fines. This figure is less than half the amount of fines collected the year previous. Two hundred and sixty-nine thousand and fifty dollars ($269,050.00) represents the value of property recovered by the Bureau during the year, nine thousand nine hundred dollars ($9,900.00) of this amount being for merchandise and cash recovered, the remainder representing the value of stolen automobiles recovered. The numerous fines and costs collected in Mercer Court on convictions for arrests made by this Bureau is not included in this figure.
Three felonious homicides were committed in the City during the year 1932, the Bureau being successful in apprehending and bringing to justice the guilty persons.
Arrests for drunkenness totals one thousand three hundred and seventeen (1,317) an increase of nearly one hundred over
|
I
the year previous. Three hundred and one (301) are reported for illegal sale and possession of intoxicating liquor. This figure is more than one hundred less than similar arrests for 1931 which is due to curtailment of police activities in this direction because of the repeal of the State Enforcement Act. These arrests are directly attributable to the fact that a squad has been especially assigned to this work. The estimated value of illicit liquor stills, intoxicating liquor, liquor mash, etc., confiscated by the police during the year amounted to one hundred nine thousand two hundred twelve dollars and fifty cents ($109,212.50). Attracted by the easy profits available in the illicit liquor traffic, many private homes and so-called “speakeasies” continue to flourish in violation of the law. This Bureau is greatly harassed by the number of complaints received of these alleged violations, but it will continue to do its utmost to bring all violations into court.
The Bureau was successful in recovering and returning to owners seven hundred fifty-six (756) automobiles out of a total of seven hundred seventy-one (771) reported stolen during the year 1932. This number, however, does not include the many automobiles that were reported stolen and later found to have been picked up by irresponsible youths for joy-rides and abandoned within a few hours. This practice continues to be a source of great annoyance and inconvenience to automobile owners and to the police. Arrests are often made, but few convictions result because of reluctance on the part of owners to press complaints.
No strike of major importance among the working people occurred during the year with the exception of a mine one that occurred during the week of October sixteenth at the Regal Doll Company, which was satisfactorily adjusted by the end of the week. Riotous disorder occasioned at its beginning that resulted in the breaking of numerous windows in the plant by stone throwing was quickly subdued by the arrival of special police squads, and order was maintained thereafter. Police information had it

that the strike was agitated and sponsored by a local group of Communists. Otherwise labor conditions in the City during the year was in a settled state.
A decrease of nearly two hundred (200) in the total number of accidents that occurred on the public streets and highways of the City during the year 1932 is shown compared with the year previous. Twelve accidental deaths caused by motor vehicles are reported, a figure less than 1931. A detailed report of all highway accidents appears in another part of this report.
The Bureau is complying strictly with the provisions of the law relative to granting permission to persons carrying concealed weapons. The character and reputation of all applicants is rigidly investigated. Much vigilance is maintained to detect and apprehend persons illegally carrying concealed weapons. Merchants and others who sell firearms are made to comply with the law requiring investigation of all prospective purchasers, sales being held up until a permit issued by the police bureau is presented by the purchaser. However, mail order houses continue to be a source of supply for firearms and the Bureau is unable to keep a check of their sales.
Each Patrolman of the Police Bureau attended the Police Training School for the usual period of three weeks during the year, covering the entire curriculum. New recruits are immediately entered in the school and given general instructions, later attending the regular classes. Particular attention in the school is given to teaching the Schafer Prone Pressure Method of Resuscitation. Weekly drills and target practice were given with excellent results. Beginning with the year 1933 Police Training School activities will be materially curtailed due to necessitated by reductions in the Bureau personnel in order to cut costs.
The School Safety Patrol with its work of safe-guarding school children at crossings continues to function smoothly and efficiently. School principals and teachers are cooperating enthusiastically with the police in this work.

The buildings in the Police Bureau are in good repair and sufficiently equipped. The end of the year 1932 brought reductions in personnel of the Bureau due to drastic cuts in operating costs. The Bureau will do the best it can to maintain the same measure of public safety for the citizens as heretofore and the people will have to be patient. All other requirements of the personnel have been well taken care of. The superior officers and patrolmen are co-ordinating in the performance of their duty to the City and Public and a higher degree of efficiency is apparent in the discipline of the Bureau.
A compiled City Ordinance would prove of much benefit and materially aid the Police Bureau as it is often confronted with situations involving provisions of various City Ordinances which necessitates numerous inquiries of the several City Government Departments for verification.
Again it is urgently recommended that the Police Bureau be made the sole judge in the regulation of Traffic Signal Lights, insofar as the regulation of traffic is concerned. Timing, changes effecting the condition of the lights, installation of “flashers”, etc., should be left to the discretion of and on the initiative of the Police Bureau. The Electrical Bureau should effect changes only upon request for same being made by the Police Bureau, upon the completion of which a report be submitted to the Police Bureau. The Police is vitally concerned with the service of Traffic Signal Lights, but as it is the practice at present, changes and installation of “flashers”, etc., take place without the knowledge or advice of the Police Bureau.
Persons who solicit homes from door to door, whether for religious or selling purposes, should come under strict regulation. An Ordinance could be enacted that would compel all solicitors to be first registered by the Police Bureau which registration should require the furnishing of two miniature photographs for identification and record. The Police have instances on record of solicitors committing petty thievery. The present
|
IV
Period of acute economic depression will tempt unscrupulous individuals to solicit homes either in the guise of religious activity or charity work, thereby giving them excusable access to front doors.
Outside firms and business houses are doing an increased business in the City by sending agents in vehicles to solicit and deliver orders, and this extensive practice should be regulated by the enactment of an ordinance providing for the licensing of this form of business. The so-called armored car business maintained by firms or individuals should also be assessed a small license fee, the main purport of this being that the police may have record of the individuals or agents that are doing such business in the City. When the armored car firms are so licensed by the City, then municipal authority , obtained by enactment of State Law, can be granted the guards to carry firearms. They are doing so at present, but are not legally or properly registered to carry such firearms.
The members of the Police Bureau are appreciative of the cooperation and assistance given by you and your fellow members of the Board of Commissioners during the year 1933.
Respectfully yours,
{signed}
William P. Walter
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF DETECTIVE BUREAU
The Detective Bureau reports a total of two hundred fifty-eight (258) arrests for the year 1932, twelve of this number being females. These arrests include fugitives brought to Trenton from other states by extradition. This number is far below the year previous, which was four hundred thirty-three.
Stolen property recovered by this Bureau during the year amounted to the value of two hundred sixty-seven thousand nine hundred forty-five dollars ($267,945.00). However, of this amount, nine thousand nine hundred dollars ($9,900.00) represents merchandise and cash recovered, the remainder being the value of stolen automobiles retrieved.
Eighty-nine (89) persons were reported missing during the past year, sixty (60) of this number were located, the remaining twenty-nine (29) still unaccounted for.
The uniform members of the Department and the Police of other cities rendered most valuable assistance to the Detective Bureau during the past year.

REPORT OF TRAFFIC BUREAU
The lowest death rate by persons killed by Motor Vehicles in the City of Trenton since the year 1924 occurred during the past year, this number being twelve.
Citizens and residents of several of our congested area streets continue to complain of parked vehicles in front of their homes. The only remedy that can be suggested for such complaints is to extend the time limit on parking. The reduced Traffic Bureau personnel to forty-one members as compared to fifty-one a year ago will make it a difficult matter to check on the time limit parking if it is extended to take in the streets that are being complained of.
A detailed report of all accidents by Motor Vehicle that occurred in the City during the year 1932 is contained in another part of this report.
