BO nt the 14th annual Police-Com munity Belntlbm Institute. Harold Warren, director of community aerrkee, Dallas Po lice Deportment, told 100 men and woman at AAM “we must treat aQ citizens with complete human dignity to ps effective to the community." Warren sold the future of pro- fesatonal tow enforcement de pends on how wall the police meet social problems within their cities. He suggested polks and social agencies work together, and ha told the social workers “I don’t think we could be successful without you." | ARM’s Police Training- Divi sion of the Engineering Exten sion Service is hosting the an nual institute sponsored by the National Conference of Chris tiana and Jews. State law .en forcement agencies and associa tions have endorsed the seminar. Conference participants are en rolled from Texas,* Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Virginia and West Virginia. Community relations, Warfen emphasized, muzt involve the po lice department, community lead ers and have the full support of police administrators. He outlined the Dallas pro- gfam, noting social science train ing for officers, beat committees, store front offkee, a computer identification system, recruiting from minority groups and the Police Athletic League .(PAL) for youth. “We try to give our officers extensive training to aociology and psychology,” noted LL Billy D. Prince, a member of Warren’s 42-man staff who assisted with the program. i “There are usually more peo ple effected by a crime than peo ple realise," he continued, “like the victim, hia family and the family of the arretted." Prince said the social training includes bringing older, experi enced field officers back to the training academy for “rap ses sions with community leaders and minority groups.” ~ Dallas currently has four store front offices, Prince pointed out. with two additional stors fronts toclnfad to the new budget He said store fronts art open ed to high crime areas with com munity service officers wor from the stores to aid within these arena. Fifty boat committoas have been formed, he adds A out of 109 police bests in Dallas. The i community relations staff organ- | loos tho bant committee — some with 090 to 900 members — and then turns the organisation over to three officers who work the beat • Warren reported the beat com mittee concept is working well to low crime arena, but to not aucceoaful in high crime areas. “We’ve found where crime is highest, attends pee is low oat," Warren admitted. Since the beat committees were formed, he said, crime has dropped 12 per cent city-wide and the clearance rate on eases to up six per cent Dallas’ computer identification system, Warren aald, has n advantage to that it “may pre vent us from booking the wrong man." The computer system produces instant information and to an aid to c r l m • investigations. “We make special efforts to avoid dr resting a man who to innocent," he stressed. Currently Dallas has placed 90 per cent of its recruiting efforts toward minority groups, Warren revealed. He said it includes a revisioa of testing methods and promotion policies to make them fair to minority groups. Wallace D. Beasley, executive director, Texas Commission, on Law Enforcement Standards and Education, also spoke Aug. 30. Beasley said Texas has 39 junior colleges and 11 senior colleges offering degrees in law enforce ment. He disclosed college students are “very interested” in the new degree programs. He said there were 1300 seeking law enforce ment degreea in the fall of 1970 and 5,203 during the spring of 1971. “Over one-half are planning to enter police work,” Beasley said a survey found. He added hia office has certi fied 16310 officers throughout the state under a new law which . was effective last September. • # | ‘ i\ Prisoners complete courses at A&M Selected inmates of the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) took a giant rehabilitative step Friday at A&M.
