MEDICAL CARE TO POLICEMEN

System for Prisoners’ Aid Revealed in Death Inquiry.

+ Police officers decide whether prisoners need medical attention at the scene of arrest or at City Jail because the City does not provide stand-by medical service at the | Jail.

This was disclosed today as Dr. Norman R. Booher, deputy coroner,

continued his investigation into the death of Roscoe Evans, 36, of 1031 English Ave., who died at City Hos-

pital Sunday, eight days after his arrest on charges of intoxication

ands vagrancy. Police believed he merely was intoxicated and he was not taken from the County Jail to the hospital until a week affer his arrest. Deputy sheriffs were unaware that his skull had been fractured or that he was ill. They said he did not complain. System Is Explained If the officer at the scene of arrest believes a prisoner needs treatment for injury or illness he calls the lieutenant at headquarters and asks for an ambulance to take the prisoner to City Hospital. If the turnkey or matron at the jail believes a prisoner needs medi-

tenant- who calls for members of the four-officer emergency squad. If they decide they cannot provide proper treatment they report back to the lieutenant who calls at City Hospital for a doctor. The doctor | decides whether hospitalization is requried. Inspector Helm explained that all members of ‘the emergency squad have completed Red Cross first aid

courses. He said that all squad cars are

many officers have taken the first aid courses. ‘Best Ever Tried’

Inspector Helm said that the present system is the best ever tried here. Until some 20 years ago a “sick room” was maintained at Police Headquarters. . Internes from City

.Hospital or senior medical students were “on call” for emergencies. Deputy sheriffs assigned to emergency calls have completed first aid courses. If they believe they are unable to give proper treatment they summon an ambulance and a doctor. Dr. A. J. Schneider, retained by the County, visits the County Jail daily to give prisoners medical attention. Dr. Robert Dwyer, retained by the Federal Government, visits the jail daily to treat Federal prisoners. Deputies call the doctors if a

prisoner needs medical attention at | |

times other than while they are; ‘making their routine visits. A “hospital room” is maintained | at the jail and prisoners are taken to it for treatment.
