ATLANTA GROWS
The population of Atlanta is growing by leaps and
bounds. This growth is accompanied by a similiar growth
in traffic.
The Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission
predicts by 1983, there will be an estimated four million
six hundred thousand vehicular trips made each day on
the streets and highways of Metropolitan Atlanta.
HEAVY TRAFFIC
These predictions are based on statistics and information
compiled by the Commission and the Georgia State Highway Department.

BURGLARS SELECT VICTIMS
The contents of a home determines where some burglars strike, nowadays.
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."

�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.

�IDENTIFICATION BUREAU
A new system was started on a trial basis in the photography section this year.
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.

�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.

�POLICE EMERGENCY VEHICLES
Accidents on our expressway system usually are more s_evere than accidents occurring in slow
moving areas. 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.
Resuscitator
First Aid Kit
Porter power jack
Hydraulic jack
Wire cutter
Jumper cable
Metal cutter
Bolt cutter
Snatch block

�LARCENY OF CREDIT CARDS
Over 140,000,000 credit cards were in circulation in 1966. 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.

�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 .

�WORTHWHILE ENDEAVORS
Many of our police officers are engaged in var10us rypes of commendable activity during their
off-duty hours.
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.

�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.

�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.
