A $21,303 grant was awarded to
area police precincts to sustain a

project. This project gives every
police department in Bryan, Col
lege Station, Caldwell, Navasota,
Centerville, Madisonville and
Brenham prompt access to crime
data ranging from minor traffic in
fractions to felonies. The Criminal

tee made this grant possible.
The grant covers approximately 75
percent of the teletype costs.
The other 25 percent comes from
city or county budgets in the form of
taxes and bonds. The Criminal Jus
tice branch of the Brazos Valley De
velopment Council is in charge of
both the CJD grant and payment of
teletype bills.
“We couldn’t live without it. It’s
invaluable. It’s our ‘bread and but
ter’,” said Lt. Casper, of the Bryan
Police Department.
Use of the teletype is fairly com
plex although response is rapid (15
seconds to two minutes). For in
stance, a policeman sees a
suspicious-looking car on the side of
the road. He reports the license
number to the dispatch who then
teletypes that number to the De
partment of Public Safety. There,
the owner and any police records are
traced through a computer and the
data is returned. The same proce
dure is used for traffic violators and
criminal offenders.
