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.

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

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.
