A unique system is used in obtaining a list of major appliances he can steal from each home. Information is gathered for the burglar by women who call residences stating she is making a survey and gives the name of a prominent organization with the assurance that she is not conducting a sales gimmick and requests cooperation by answering a few questions needed by her research program. The caller then reads a list of questions such as: Number in family Number employed outside the home Televisions -- size, model, color or black and white Sewing machine -- make, manual or electric Vacuum cleaner -- make and type Radios -- make and size Stereo, if portable Lawn mowers, make, size, riding or self propelled Air conditioning units -- make, tonnage of portable units The caller thanks the housewife for being very helpful. The burglar now has a list of what each home contains. He becomes very selective in his profession. "Ye s, we have a c olor te levis ion." 20 �K-9 SQUAD Outrunning an escaping burglar who has a head start can be very difficult for a police officer, but a simple matter for a K-9 dog, thereby creating a need for a K-9 Squad. Our K-9 Squad consists of one lieutenant and twelve officers, each with a trained dog. When off duty, the dog resides at the hoine of the officer. Befo.re an officer is assigned to the K-9 Squad, his neighborhood is checked for any adverse attitude directed towar.ds a dog living in the vicinity, also, the pen in which the dog is kept must be sanitary and well constructed so as to prevent the dog from escaping. A prospective K-9 dog must have above average intelligence and of even temperment, not over two years of age or under one year of age, should weigh 80 lbs., or more, be in good health, male sex and German Shepherd breed. In selecting a dog for the K-9 Corp, approximately six out of every ten dogs fail to pass tests required by the trainer and are eliminated as prospects for our K-9 Corp. After a dog is selected, he is put through training periods by a professional dog trainer. He is taught to be aggressive and not afraid of gun fire or noise. The dog, during its course of training, is taught to grab the arm in which a perpetrator holds a weapon, thereby preventing use of such weapon. The dog is taught to hold the subject without inflicting additional injury pending the the arrival of the officer. The officer that the new dog will be assigned to work with also attends training school. After graduation, they are designated for street duty. Training wi II continue under the supervision of our professional trainer. Periodically he conducts re-training programs in which the dog is given various tests which indicate its merits and capabilities. The K-9 Squad has two trucks designed to hold the dogs. The trucks are used in covering large areas and transporting the dog from one section to another when necessary. K-9 dogs are very valuable when used for searching large buildings, warehouses and unlighted areas for hidden criminals. 21 �- - - -- - -- - - - - -- - ACTIVITIES OF IDENTIFICATION BUREAU Persons photographed and fingerprinted Persons identified by fingerprints Sets of fingerprints made Dis positions to the F.

Color slides are made of all persons arrested for robbery and sex crimes. Their image is projected on a screen in exact life size, in natural color and is reviewed by victims and witnesses for identification purposes. The slides are classified and filed according to age, race, sex and height of arrested person. The system is cross indexed with the identification number. During 1967 over 1,700 color slides were made. This system is a great improvement over the four inch by five inch black and white mug shots and produced such favorable results that our present plans are to expand it until all major crimes are eventually included in this color slide system. SEARCHING FOR PERPETRATOR 23 �CRIME PREVENTION ii I, A new concept in cnme prevention was inaugurated by this department during 1967. We are striving to change the thinking and behavior of potential criminals by creating a desire for them to become worthwhile citizens with a correct sense of values which include a respect for City, State and Federal laws and an obedience to home regulation. WE SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMEN T To deter a person from becoming a criminal and taking the first wrong step, this training must start with youth. Some sections of the city already contain recreational organizations and agencies capable of absorbing the youth population into various constructive activities. SKATE-O-RAMA 2,500 participat ed 24 �CRIME PREVENTION II , In other areas of the city, we find a need for youth guidance organiz a tions. Realizing this need, the department has broadened the structure of crime pre vention by sponsoring several aven ue s of activity for our young people. We encourage and assist groups such as Junior Deputy and Junior Crime Prevention Clubs, since these groups participate in crime prevention by influencing other people to live clean lives. JUNIOR CRIME FIGHTERS Our officers co-operate in providing sight-se e ing tours for the youngsters and assist the Jay cees in providing entertainment during half-time periods at ne ighborhood non-professional football games. Our officers speak to many adult groups suc h as PTA's, ci vic organizations and schools on vanous crime prevention subjects. LOST CHILD FINDS FRIEND 25 �1967 TRAFFIC ACCIDENT SUMMARY l.

Often times, people are trapped inside wrecked vehicles. Danger of fire is ev er present, thus creating the need for emergency rescue vehicles with great maneuverbility and power. Io answer of chis need , two small but powerful vehicles equipped with four-wheel driv e capable of moving heavy broken down trucks from the traffic arteries were added to the mobile units this year. They are manned by officers trained in resuscitation , first aid and other phases of rescue work. Due to their great maneuverbility, these small vehicles can reach the scene of an emergency much faster than the large heavy type rescue vehicles. These vehicles are in addition to the four trucks that patrol our expressway syste m rendering assistance to stranded motorists . When not involved in rescue operations, the vehicles patrol the e x pre s sways helping ocher police units in the regulation and control of vehicular traffic. Personnel assigned to these vehicles are experts in operating the following equipment c a rried in the vehicles.

This number greatly increased during 1967 . Illegal and unauthorized use of credit cards cost American citizens between twenty-five and thirty million dollars per year and from all indications, this amount will continue to increase. Merely by presenting a credit card, cash and most any type of service or commodity is obtainable on demand by the holder of credit cards. Various methods a re used to obtain credit cards, Some are stolen by pocket pickers , some by resident burglars and some from hotel and motel guests. They are also counterfeited. Airlines, department stores and service stations are targets in the credit card racket. Tremendous bills are run up very fast at motels and hotels especially in large cities . before the owner has any knowledge that. his credit card has been stolen. Service stations are frequent victims in this sophisticated form of larceny . Not only is the credit card used for purchasing motor fuel, it is used for purchasing tires a nd other items offered for sale in the station . In one case, a victim received a bill for twenty high priced automobile tires that had been purchased two at a time in different stations between Atlanta and C a lifornia , using a stolen credit card. In a distant city, a young boy with a stolen credit card ran up bills for over ten thousand dollars having parties and purchasing gifts for girls he met, before being apprehended. HOTEL PAID B Y CR EDIT CARD 34 �GULLIBLE CITIZENS SWINDLED Widows and poor citizens are swindled by fast talking con-men who represent themselves as being reputable building contractors. These contractors seek their victims by door-to-door contact and telephone calls. The victim is promised first class workmanship below the market cost, for additional rooms , carports, driveways, patios and other type of remodeling to their home. In some instances, the victim signs a second mortgage unbeknowing. Tliis is done by the swindler at the time of the signing of the contract. He shuffles a mortgage paper in with the contract papers and the victim innocently signs all papers. In other cases , the perpetrator is given 50% of the total amount of the contract to purchase building material. The balance to be paid upon completion of the job . The perpetrator spends about a half day tearing out or doing preparatory work, leaves the job, neve_r to be heard of again. In mos t cas es , the victims are widows and uneducated people who are not in the position to sta nd such losses . In cases where second mortgages are made, the victim is laboring under the illusion that she is to pay a reasonable amount of money for the job. She is shocked when she receives a past due noti ce that she has failed to pay the first payment due on her second mortgage, which in most cases 1s more tha n she ordinarily would have paid had she been dealing with a reputable contra ctor .

This rype activity varies from boy scout leadership to conducting religious services for our silent citizens. Due to the limited space m this publication, we are illustrating only two of these endeavors. While a ssi gned to the Morning Watch (12PM-8AM) Officer C. L. Huddleston observed groups of deaf people gathering for fo od and fellowship in a downtown restaurant. He obs erved them very closely and became interested in them. Years lat er, he transferred from the mission committee to the silent department in his church. Not knowing the A B C' s in the si gn language, he studied the sign language i n orde r to take part in teaching the word of God to our d eaf c itizens . Officer Huddles ton now teaches a class of 45 deaf people each Sunday.

Forty-eight officers now attend colleges and universities in the Atlanta area, completing courses of instructions in their off-duty hours. Thirty-three of our officers are holders of bachelor degrees and eight have masters degrees in law. Fourteen officers have completed courses at the FBI Academy. Several have attended the Traffic Institute at Northwestern University and the Southern Police Institute. The Georgia State College now offers a two year course in Police Administration which leads to an Associates of Arts Degree. The College is one of the few institutions in the nation offering this course. Twenty-six Atlanta police officers are presently enrolled in this degree program. Various degrees held by other officers include: One 'Bachelor Electrical Engineering One Associate of Art Three Bachelor of Business Administration ~ r J_.? Three Bachelor of Science Four Bachelor of Art One Bachelor of Divinity r .j ATTEN DING COLLEGE 46 �ALCOHOLISM A ruling by the Superior Court caused a change in drunkenness cases booked after July 19, 1%7. This ruling applies only to chronic alcoholic cases. In the new ruling, the order stated that "excusal of one afflicted with chronic alcoholism from criminal prosecution is confined exclusively to those acts on his part which are compulsive as symptomatic of the disease and with respect to other behavior -- not characteristic of confirmed chronic alcoholism - he should be judged as any person not so afflicted." The judge did not exclude those drinkers whose alcoholic binges cause great harm to others and to the peace in general. It did not excuse those who get drunk and disturb the peace at will. It did Iiot excuse arrest of those drunk on the streets or in public places who are not classed as chronic alcoholics. The menace to the community of such persons will still be acknowledged. The Fulton County case is the first time in Georgia alcoholism has been judged to be a disease a nd not a cri me. Chronic alcoholics are not exempted from criminal guilt in cases involving criminality. The ruling reduced the effectiveness to only cases of drunkenness, loitering, and other directly rel ated to the state of intoxication. ALCOHOLIC 47 �ATTEMPT SUICIDE Attempt suicides show a drastic increase in recent years. In 1963 one hundred and forty-seven persons attempted to take their own lives. 1n 1967 two hundred persons attempted to take their lives. The records indicate that people who survive this searing emotional experience constitute a pool from which completed suicides are later drawn. Below is the age, sex and race breakdown on attempt suicides for 1967. 20 & 21-25 26-30 36-40 31-35 41 - 45 46 -50 51-55 56& Under Total Over White Male 10 16 6 5 10 5 3 5 8 68 White Female 12 16 17 13 9 7 1 3 3 81 7 3 3 2 2 0 0 0 0 17 Negro Female 15 11 3 3 1 2 1 0 0 34 Total 42 46 29 23 22 14 5 8 11 200 Negro Male POLICE DEPARTMENT COST OF OPERATION 1967 Purchase of Equipment. · · $ 274,260.99 Lights and Power . . . . 21,101.33 Service, Motor Transport Department . 575,966.95 Uniforms . . . . . . . 112,648.50 Other Cost of Operations 212,387.14 Salaries . . . . . . . 6,284,103.15 Salaries - Traffic Policewomen (School Crossings) 99,835 .60 Renta ls , I.
