HIEF STUDIES

PROGRAM TO CUT ~ ACCIDENT TOLL

Believes Increase to 150 Men Is Possible in Traffic Division. Chief Morrissey will confer with the Safety Board Teusday on plans

for expansion of the police traffic and accident prevention divisions

without disturbing the Department’s| &

1939 budget, he announced today. He began a study of the two divisions today following recommendations by Sergt. Kenneth R. Dickinson, of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, that the traffic division personnel be increased from 86 to 150 men, and that roving accident prevention squads be formed.

Chief Morrissey said he believed that 12 accident prevention squads could be organized immediately without increasing .the division’s personnel. He said it may be possible to increase the traffic division to 150 men without adding new men to the force. This would be done, he said, by drawing men from other branches of the depariment.

More Signals Suggested

Sergt. Dickinson suggested that 16 patrolmen now on corner traffic duty could be assigned to accident prevention duty if the City should install traffic signals at these. inter-

sections. Other recommendations in the report which was made by Sergt. Dickinson after a week’s study of traffic ‘enforcement methods here include: Enactment of an ordinance making it compulsory for citizens to report to the Police Department all accidents involving injury or property damage of more than $25. Retention of the present system of having the City Clerk control parking stickers instead of having this function transferred to the Accident Prevention Bureau as has been proposed.

Training Course Urged

Institution of a two-weeks’ training course for traffic patrolmen and prosecutors under the supervision of Assogiation experts. Appointment by the City of a traffic engineer or vesting this function in a member of the City’s engineering staff. Establishment of a traffic court with a permanent judge. Municipal Courts last year handled 17,000 traffic cases, according to records compiled by Sergt. Dickinson. Assignment of a traffic analyst to tabulate statistics and analyze accident reports for the Accident Prevention Bureau, and assignment
