We re proud to have the real officer For most Department memshy

bers the success of the recent film Dick Tracy just means a pleasant night at the movie theater or some future evening at home watching a rented videotape

For one Department memshyber however it means more intershyviews speaking engagements and remarks about his famous name

Our Dick Tracy is Captain Richard Joseph Dick Tracy commanding officer of the Deshypartments Reproduction and Graphic Arts Section

He doesnt have the exaggershyated chiseled features of the comic strip character He doesnt wear a two-way wrist radio or bright yelshylow fedora and trench coat Some of the offenders he has arrested in his career have been ugly but nothing as grotesque as Pruneface or Flattop

But he does share the same name and occupation as the famed fictional character-which at times has been a curse but more often a blessing

Since the movies release the kidding has taken on new proshyportions said Tracy When I was a youngster it was tough Other kids picked on me Theyd want to fight me so they could say they had beat up Dick Tracy so I had to learn to fight at an early age

Tracy was named after his father Dick Tracy a hard-working Chicago boilermaker His parents never considered any possible problems with the name because the comic strip was only two years old and had not yet attained its phenomenal fame

There has been a few hassles Once his mother called a restaushyrant trying to locate her son and asked Is Dick Tracy there Beshyfore the proprietor slammed down the phone he said Lady the


Going through life with a famous name is one thing but going through it with the same occupation as the famous person is even more interesting Capshytain Dick Tracy commanding officer of Reproduction and Graphic Arts Section has learned to live with both the good and bad He has received even more atshytention since release and success of movie Dick Tracy

only place to find Dick Tracy is in the Tribune comic pages

Inevitably when someone hears his name for the first time the person either laughs or thinks Tracy is some sort of wise guy

Once while working undershycover in the Narcotics Section Tracy returned to his office folshylowing an arrest to inventory a cache of narcotics The desk sershygeant saw Tracy dressed in tattershyed clothing and ordered him out of the office

When Tracy told him his name the sergeant became even more furious When Tracy showed

him his police identification card the sergeant thought it was an elaborate prank being played on him by his fellow officers Dick Tracy a real police officer Yeah sure It took several phone calls before officers were able to cool down the sergeant and convince him it was not a joke

Even today many people I come in contact with doubt that my name is really Dick Tracy he said Even after I show my police ID card there are many who still doubt me and think its all a joke Ive taken a lot of rib bing from many people especially my feUow officers

But Tracy is proud of his name and he says it has even brought him great pleasure

It is something I have lived with and lived through but Im proud of it he said When I was a young boy I was naturally inshyterested in the comic strip Dick Tracy created by Chester Gould My father used this interest in the strip to impress upon me certain principles and qualities that Gould had incorporated in his Dick Trashycy-honesty trustworthiness inshytegrity and respect for law and orshyder

Ever since I can remember Ive wanted to be a police officer and not because of my name While I dont believe my name has particularly helped me in my cashyreer it has also not been a handishycap My profession is law enforceshyment and Im serious about the profession

Like his fictional namesake Tracy has never backed down from a challenge

He joined the Department in 1956 and his dedication is reflectshyed by his promotions to detective sergeant lieutenant and captain In the meantime Tracy took a leave of absence to serve as police


chief of Pottstown Pennsylvania in 1967 before returning to the Department in 197 5

It was a challenge so I took the job said Tracy

The small town-located 35 miles from Philadelphia with a population of about 27 500- has never forgotten him Tracy was a popular and innovative police chief

In Pottstown Tracy introshyduced Crime Check a crime prevention program resulting in inshycreased citizen cooperation in reshyporting crimes and suspicious incishydents to police He instituted a new police emergency number esshytablished an expanded training program and improved the towns police library He established a canine unit a crime control (tactishycal) team and an auxiliary police squad

When Tracy met Chester Gould creator of the fictional deshytective the cartoonist told me that I had done his Dick Tracy one better because I became a poshylice chief and his never did

Tracy has never avoided the connection to the cartoon characshyter In fact he has relished it What might have become a burden to a lesser man has been turned to an advantage by our Dick Tracy

Among his most prized posshysessions are a personalized original drawing by Gould and a book of early Dick Tracy episodes autoshygraphed by the creator A poster

I

-

Chester Gould presented original drawshying to Capt Dick Tracy in 1961

of the recent movie adorns a wall in his office Tracys business cards feature a drawing of the square-jawed detective

Tracy has appeared on the television shows To Tell the Truth and Whats My Line and recently was an honored guest at Dick Tracy Days in Woodshystock Illinois Goulds hometown

It seems that everybody that he comes in contact with-childshyren hardened criminals fellow ofshyficers- is touched in some way upon hearing the name even if it

Departments Ski Club scores high

only draws a smile After all people remember

you if your name is Dick Tracy he says especially if you also happen to be a police officer

Once when he was introducshyed to a Cub Scout troop as Dick Tracy the crowd of boys clutchshying pieces of paper rushed the ofshyficer requesting his autograph I felt like an imposter even though I was signing my own name he said but it was a big thrill

The reactions are mixed with the criminal element I would hear that offenders I had arrested and were in Stateville Prison would be furious brag or joke about being arrested by Dick Tracy

Tracy is proud of his family who has also learned to live with his famous name His wife Barbara is probably the only person who can tell you how it feels to be married to a police officer named Dick Tracy for 26 years

Barbara and Dick have three sons Michael is an options trader assistant at the Chicago Board Opshytions Exchange William recently graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and is a second lieutenant

And their other son is a depshyuty marshal appointed to the US Marshals Service and is presently enrolled in recruit training at the Federal Law Enforcement Trainshying Center in Georgia

Traffic stops Are pat-down searches allowed A question that arises every day in

law enforcement operations is whether pat-down searches are permissable in the content of a traffic stop

The Illinois Appellate Court Peoshyple v Brown 190 Ill App 3rd 511 (2nd District 1989) addressed this isshysue and resulted in the court issuing guidelines for law enforcement personshynel to follow when searching a driver on a traffic stop

In Brown a police officer observshyed a traffic violation As the officer apshyproached the vehicle he observed two people in the front seat The driver reached up to the dashboard and then down to the floor The officer did not observe any object in the drivers hand

When the officer explained to the driver why he had stopped him the drishyver admitted he was speeding The drishyver handed over his drivers license and exited the vehicle as requested by the officer Outside the vehide the officer conducted a pat-down search of the dri-ver

The officer felt a hard object in the front pocket of the driver s jacket and simultaneously the driver attemptshyed to place his hand in the pocket The officer placed the driver against the car and told the driver to put his hands up

When the driver again reached for his pocket the officer drew his gun and called for assistance After handcuffing the driver the officer searched the pocket and found two marijuna cigashyrettes search of the car revealed that it was a radar detector that had been placed on the floor

The issue presented to the court in this case was whether the officer proshyperly conducted a pat-down search of the driver

In response the Appellate Court stated

In the present case the offender properly stopped defendant for traffic violations but had no reashysonable basis which he could arshyticulate to conduct the search after ordering defendant out of the car When requested the deshyfendant did produce his license in a manner which caused no alarm to the officer who examined it and ordered defendant out of his car and searched him There is no evidence that the license was imshyproper in any way or alerted the


officer to the possibility of pershysonal risk No authority has been offered by the State or seen in our research which would permit even a limited search of a defenshydants person simply because he has been stopped for a traffic vioshylation for which ordinarily a citashytion would be issued for a later court appearance

The court rejected the argument that an officer would have felt his life was in danger because of the hand movement that was noted before the stop Without other facts suggesting danger to the officer there was no aushythorization to conduct an intrusion

upon the drivers person Therefore in a routine stop for a

traffic violation a pat-down searchs of the driver is not permitted A pat-down search would be allowed if there are arshyticulative facts that suggest a possibility of danger to the officer and the officer reasonably believes he is dealing with an armed dangerous individual

Dont put off getting your papers together for family

The following is intended to serve as a reminder for Department employshyees and their families to plan ahead All too often people avoid spending a few hours on estate planning resulting in costly and painful problems later

bullA will trust or other testamentashyry should be written and periodically updated If there are any dependant children a guardian should be named Notify someone as to where the will is kept

bull If you have a safety deposit box name more than one person who will have access to the box in case of an emergency

If there have been changes in your family for any reason-such as divorce death or remarriage-make the necessashyry changes in your insurance policies and will

bull If there is anyone in your family who regularly takes medicine is often hospitalized or who is elderly keep a llst of medical insurance numbers (inshycluding Medicare) and medicines that apply to this person Periodically up-shydate this list and make it available ~o all adult family members in ca5e an emergency occurs and the person needs to be hospitalized immediately

bull A valid power of attorney for adults should be executed to prepare for the possibility that a family member may become mentally or physically inshycapacitated This document allows the person named to transfer property and

to access savings and checking accounts if needed This procedure is helpful when adult children have to care for an elderly parent on a long-term basis

bull If you own real estate there should be a periodic review as to who is named on the deed After chances occur in a family such as a death or remarrishyage names should be deleted or added to the deed Having a single name on a deed with no existing will or trust may result in hours of unnecessary litigation and attorney expenses when the title holder dies If property is owned in a state other than Illinois you should inshyvestigatemiddot what the options are in that state for holding and transfering of property (For example Michigan does not permit land trust whereas Illinois does)

We learned in the academy to exshypect the unexpected and to be prepared

_for whatever may happen This advice should apply not only

to our job but also to our familys future

Department aims to rid roads of drunken drivers In an effort to crack down on inshy

toxicated motorists the Department has conducted roadside sobriety and safety checks at unannounced citywide locashytions this year

The new roadside checkpoint program follows two recent US Sushypreme Court decisions to aid police in efforts to rid the road of intoxicated drivers The Court upheld the const itushytionality of random roadside stops roushytinely used by police to detect drunken drivers among passing motorists

This decision overturned a Michishygan Court ruling that police roadblocks were unconstitutional The opinion written by Justice William Rehnquist said a states interest in preventing drunken driving by motorists outshyweighs the intrusion on an individuals rights

In the second decision the Court ruled that police may question drunken driving suspects and videotape their reshysponses without first advising them of their constitutional rights

The inconvenience of being stop-


ped at roadside safety checkpoints is a small price to pay for the knowledge that the vehicles on the street around you and your family are being driven by sober and licensed drivers said Supershyintendent LeRoy Martin

Too many motorists continue to get behind the wheel of their car and drive despite the intense publicity camshypaigns which have been waged nationshywide in recent years We find this conshytempt for the lives of others on public streets and highways reckless and irreshysponsible and we intend to clamp down on these drivers

If motorists do not exercise good judgement of not driving when under the influence of alcohol then they will have to accept the penalties that follow when they are caught and arrested

The Department has also purchasshyed 22 addit ional breathalyzers (Intoxishymeter 3000) with a federa l grant proshyvided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations US Departshyment of Transportation

The Department already possess-

ed nine breathalyzer said Assistant Deputy Superintendent Richard Grishashyber Traffic Division The additional units will allow for one unit for each of the 25 districts and another for the Mashyrine Unit as an enforcement tool against drunken boaters The remainder will be used for training purposes by the Acadshyemy and Traffic Safety and Training Sections

The Department also is standardshyizing its DUI training for patrol memshybers as it relates to Departement policy ru les and regulations by producing brief videotape presentations illustrating DUI detection and arrest procedures There is also an ongoing program to train seveshyral officers to be certified lntoximeter 3000 operato rs

The roadside checks have resulted not only in arrests for driving under the influence having open liquor in a vehishycle and for possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) but citations issued for revoked or suspended licenses no city sticker no proof of insurance and other miscellaneous viola ti on s

Albert Race CPD officer killed in 1878 The following is another in a series of historical articles detailing the stories behind all our courageous officers who have been killed in the line of duty Whenever we pass by and glance at the stars displayed in the Superintendents Honored Star Case in the lobby of Headquarters Building particularly the stars from the 19th Century we may someshytimes forget that they are more than just relics of the past more than mere inanimate pieces of metal-they were once worn by living men and women many with families who gave their lives in the service of others Each star has its own story and each is a symbol of the outshystanding work and dedication of all our officers

I n 1878 Thomas Alva Edison received his patent for the phonograph writer Carl Sandburg and entertainer

George M Cohan were born and the popular tunes of the day had such titles as Baby Mine and Emmetts Lullaby

All this aside these were troublesome times and a Chicashygo police officer the fourth in Department history was killed in the line of duty

Chicago was just beginning to recover from a period marked by strong civil unrest and disorder and the entire country had just experienced four years of severe economic depression One author wrote about the year 1877 and enshytitled it Year of Violence

During 1877 major railroad strikes and rampent unemshyployment crippled the nation Department members exhibited remarkable courage and dedication by maintaining order durshying several bloody riots It is amazing that one of our citys ofshyficers didnt lose his life during this tumultuous year in which more than 50 Chicago officers were seriously injured

Unselfish Department officers in fact put these troubles aside and went out of their way to take care of one another

A formal constitution was adopted for the Chicago Poshylicemens Benevolent Association Whenever an officer died two dollars were collected from each member to be given to the widow or legal heirs A committee was established to visit the sick Any member who became disshyabled in the line of duty was entitled to receive a dollar a day to assist in his reshycovery Funeral benefits included $125 for expenses and an escort of 40 unishyformed officers

The Department in 1878 consistshyed of only 443 members- a supshyerintendent five captains 17

lieutenants 12 sergeants 376 patrolshymen 28 station keepers and a custodishyan- serv1crng a city population of 436571 The number of officers fluctushyated greatly from month to month as the city struggled with its budget

he won the hearts of citizens with his extraordinary heroian and bravery He along with several o ther officers often put their lives on the line by standing between the citizens anti uncaring mobs of roughs and rioters

An extremely modest man Seavey was somewhat surshyprised when his appointment to superintendent was announcshyed on July 30 1878 He was so popular that it was said that when he would arrive at his office each morning he would be greeted by a crowd of admirers who wanted just to speak with or wave to their hero

Forced to find an alternate entrance to his office and because of his modesty Seavey would ride his horse and buggy each day from his home on the West Side to his downtown ofshyfice tie the horse to a pole in the alley at the rear of the buildshying and climb into his office through an open window

A superstitious local politician saw this one day and shouted My God Seavey why do you come in that way Don t you know it will bring you bad luck Entering a house through a window means death

Seavey only laughed sat down at his desk and took up business of the Department as though he had been superintenshydent all his life

Not that his novel way of arriving to work had anything to do with it Seavey would become gravely ill in May 1879 and would be dead of kidney disease on September 7 Alshythough he served only a brief term as head of the Department historians credit Seavey with proving himself an able executive officer in every respect

0 fficer Albert Race a native of Pennsylvania came to Chicago to work for the Pinkerton Detective Agency where he gained experience in law enforcement before

joining the Department around 1874 Race 38 was consider-

ed by his fe llow officers as a faithful and efficient officer but extremely temperate and economicalHe had served heroically during the 1877 rio ts

Race once kept his life savings in a bank but after losing faith in such inshystitutions when several banks closed beshygan carrying all his money with him He was unmarried and lived at the Harrison Street Police Station not an uncommon practice for officers of the day

At about 9 45 on the night of Ocshytober 4 1878 Race was on patrol and walking south on the 400 block of South State Street Just minutes earlier he had stopped to chat with Officer James Shanley [possibly Shandley] who was on patrol walking north Down the street a housekeeper waited to stop the officer as he passed by because her employer wished to ask Race for some advice

At one point Superintendent Valshyrous A Seavey wrote a report to city ofshyficials complaining about the lack of poshylice Seavey joined the Department in 1871 about the time of the Crea t Chishycago Fire and made quick advancement in his career During the riots of 1877

Valrous A Seavey was popular superinshytendent who had an interesting way of starting each workday

Despite the late hour the downshytown area was fairly busy- a druggist conducted business a short distance



away several people walked the street window shopping a bored little boy looked out his window at the street below A curious woman living above a pawnshop called the New York Loan Office had interrupted her game of cards with friends to watch a horsedrawn wagon pull up in front of the building One of the gas streetlights was unlit but visibility was good

The pawnshop was operated by a Lester Friedberg who had arrived in Chicago only a year earlier but had already gainshyed an unsavory reputation in the neighborhood He had been arrested on a warrant from New York for jumping bond to apshypear at a trial on charges of obtaining merchandise under false pretenses He had cleared up matters in New York and had reshyturned to Chicago where he continued operations as a notorishyous fence for offenders

Superintendent Seavey had once ordered Friedbergs lishycense to be revoked but the pawnbroker was able to pull some strings and was back in business Recently some merchandise was found in his shop which had not bee properly recorded in his books as the license required It was suspected that the goods had been stolen Friedburg was issued a summons and the case was pending

Residents of the area were used to seeing wagons arrive at the pawnshop at all hours of the day and night As Race was passing by two men were inside talking to Friedberg One was Johnny Lamb an infamous leader of a major burglary gang the other was a notorious character known as Sheeney George who had just been released from prison the previous August after serving nine months for his part in a burglary

About an hour earlier the two offenders had raised an iron grate in the rear of the ES Jaffrey and Company buildshying had broken a window and crept upstairs to where valushyable merchandise was stored They packed up thousands of dollars worth of expensive material and returned for a second shipment A night watchman would find a third shipment stacked by the back door which the offenders had never reshyturned for A courageous officer would ruin their plans

The second shipment of stolen goods was inside the washygon outside Friedbergs pawnshop As Race walked by he alertly noticed a large amount of merchandise including a bolt of expensive cloth and a bulging valise in the back of the wagon Suspecting immediately that the goods were stolen the officer stood aside and waited until the two offenders Jan from the pawnshop and into the wagon

What have you got there demanded the officer One of the offenders wore dark clothing was tall with a

dark complexion and a full beard and had a clay pipe clenchshyed between his teeth

None of your damn business he sneered before quickshyly drawing a pistol pointing it at Races head and firing

When the bullet struck him the officer dropped to the ground and died either instantly or within the next 10 minshyutes The ball entered the neck about an inch below the right ear and took an upward course lodging in the base of the brain The bullet passed veins and arteries because there was little hemorrhage Powder burns were found on the officers face and $475 were found in his pockets

The wagon must have been low to the ground because all the eyewitnesses insisted that the gunman was sitting in the seat when he fired and the bullet was fired upward

Louis Bauer a citizen across the street saw the flash of the pistol and the officer fall and yelled Stop him Stop him The gunman jumped from the wagon ran along the wall of a large store and east to Wabash Avenue Wabash at this time had few buildings and was covered with tall weeds and

grass The offender kept running to a park near the lakefront which was littered with old railroad cars and rubbish His flight was so rapid that he was gone before anyone had time to think of pursuit

The other offender grabbed the reins and shouted get up to the horse and progressed about 200 feet before he jumped from the wagon By this time citizens had started to chase the wagon The offender ran into a vacant lot and disshyappeared into the shadows to the west

The runaway wagon was stopped by Officer Shanley who had returned to investigate the commotion The officer gave the reins of the horse to a nearby citizen and then helped other people carry Race to the drugstore for medical attenshytion Officer Race however was either already dead or would die shortly thereafter Shanley did not see either offender

C aptain Simon ODonnell who would eventually sucshyceed Seavey as superintendent was placed in charge of the investigation By 10 30 a description of the gun-

man had been distributed to all the police stations in the city by telegraph

The wagon was covered with mud so the officers washed it in hopes that the owners name would be painted on the side a popular practice but this was to no avail ODonnell then came up with a brilliant idea by releasing the horse and following it to its owners home but this only revealed that an innocent citizen had had his horse stolen the night before

Friedberg was found in a rear room of the pawnshop and arrested He denied any knowledge of the murder saying I dont know Ask my wife She runs the pawnshop I dont have nothing to do with it When his wife was interviewed she said that two men which she couldnt describe had brought in the goods placed them on the counter and left

A search of the shop revealed 16 bolts of silk and six dozen expensive handkerchiefs In the back of the wagon were found 28 dozen colored silk handkerchiefs in the valise several articles of clothing and a bolt of fine velvet All were identifishyed by a clerk from the Jaffrey Company as being stolen from their building Other goods were found in the pawnshop inshycluding a dozen boxes of imported cigars that were suspected of being taken in a burglary the night before

Although Friedberg had two hours to dispose of the stolen property before police searched the shop he failed to do so It was suspected that with all the confusion the shifty pawnbroker forgot this important detail

There were several eyewitnesses to the murder-the boy the woman above the shop a few men on the street-but none made a very strong case in court with their testimony

Although Lamb and George were eventually arrested for the crime the Department always believed that there was more to the case than was revealed by the investigation Four years later an account referring to another murder was deshyscribed as far more mysterious than the murde r of Officer Race by John Lamb and his pals Lamb was sentenced to be hanged for the murder but this was later dropped on appeal primarily because of the character of the major witness against him at the trial-his accomplice Sheeney George

The star of Officer Race No 7 can be seen in the Honshyored Star Case in Headquarters Lobby

(Note In 1878 another Department officer lost his life while on duty Officer Charles Kern died from injuries suffered after accidentally falling into an excavation behind a downshytown building)

O W W ilson Auditorium_ Earlier this year Superintendent

LeRoy Martin dedicated the auditorium on the fifth floor of Hendquarters Buildshying in the honor and memory of OW Wilson innovative superintendent of the 1960s

The auditorium has been comshypletely remodeled and features displays containing mementos of Wilsons law enforcement career including awards diplomas and photographs

When Wilson retired in 1967 Mayor Richard J Daley said when any history of Chicago is written his [Wilshysons] contribution to our citys progshyress will constitute onr of the most inshyspiring chapters

At the dedication ceremony Sushyperintendent Martin read an outstanding speech outlining Wilsons life and career Martins remarks are included here in their entirety

We are here today to pay tribute to Orlando Winfield Wilson better known to all of us as OW Wilson and to dedicate this auditorium in his honor and memory

When Wilson took over the Chishycago Police Department morale was at an all-time low because of the Summershydale scandal

OW was appointed superintenshydent of the Chicago Police Department on March 7 1960 by the late Mayor Richard J Daley When appointed Wilshyson was the dean of criminology of the University of California at Berkley He had been brought here to head a blue ribbon committee to find a new police commissioner to replace Timothy J OConnor The committee conducted a nationwide search and interviewed scores of candidates But in the end the committee decided Wilson was the best man for the job and recommended him to the mayor

Wilsons appointment was not popular Some police resented the fact that one of their own had not been named to replace OConnor who had worked his way up the ranks to become commissioner

Furthermore Wilson was a civilshyian and not a police officer although he had served as chief of police in Wichita Kansas and Fullerton California early in his career

Wilson was instructed to clean house and that he proceeded to do He told the press his new job presented the


0W WILSON

greatest challenge in law enforcement and in the world His objectives were to modernize and impove the Department and to remove the stigma of graft and corruption whether perceived or real from the police image

With the support of the late mayor and funds approved by the City Council the Department received new equipment higher salaries and more manpower The seven years that followshyed were probably the most innovative and progressive in the history of the Chicago Police Department

There are many things to reshymember Wilson for some more imporshytant than others Probably his hallmark accomplishment was the reorganization of the command structure which made possible for more police officers to comshypete for promotions to sergeants lieushytenants and captains It also opened cashyreer opportunities in the exempt comshymand ranks as well

Another outstanding accomplishshyment was the streamlining of the Police Communications Center which at that time was state-of-the-art The $25 milshylion center attracted hundreds of law enforcement and governmental agency visitors from throughout the world who came here tc study a computerized communications system which disshypatched patrol cars to crime scenes in a matter of minutes

bull dedicated 1S The era of the traditional neighshy

borhood footman came to an adrupt halt as the Department motorized its beat officers For the first time police officers were deployed on the basis of statistical crime studies in each district

Newly painted blue and white squad cars bearing the We serve and protect logo replaced the old black veshyhicles Blue roof lights replaced the red Mars lights Conventional sirens gave way to the oscillating whistles Police officers also took on a new look with short sleeve shirts for the summer brass name plates shoulder patches denoting unit of assignment and a checkerboard cap band which became part of their unshyiform

These vehicle and uniform changes made police highly visible in the community and did not go unnoticed by a watchful public

Standards for better screening psychological testing and longer imshyproved training for police recruits were put into place Officers already on the job were sent back to the Police Acadshyemy for in-service training

To root out allegations of corshyruption and graft by police officers Wilshyson created a 100 man Internal Affairs Division Human Relations Unit personshynel met and worked with community and civic leaders to ease racial tensions Our Crime Laboratory was expanded and improved emerging as one of the best in the country

The old federation of 38 autonoshymous police stations were reduced into a group of 21 district stations and six area headquarters housing Detective Youth Traffic and other special units

We could gq on and on about the many changes which took place between March 7 1960 and May 14 1967 when OW Wilson announced his retirement While improvements and modernization made the Department rttore efficient the psychological impact on police and the public was dramatic and more important Wilson developed the quality of police service that was needed and wanted by the community In turn the public developed a new sense of trust and confidence in their Police Department

Under his leadership the Departshyment was raised to new heights of effishyciency and professionalism Wilson

Martins friend is ro le model Superintendent LeRoy Martin entertained a special

guest recently who gave him reason to be proud and take pride in her accomplishments

She is Ensign Davida Nelums 22 a daughter of friends of the superintendent David and Bobby Nelums She stopped in and recounted her accomplishments after graduating from the Naval Academy in August

Ensign Nelums can be proud said Martin She has mader her parents proud and shows what young people can do when they apply themselves in furthering their education and making an excellent career move I couldnt be happier for her

Ensign Nelums is the first Luther South High School graduate to be accepted at the academy in Annapolis Maryland where she earned a bachelor of science degree in engineering

I had been accepted for either West Point or the Navel Academy but after attending a summer seminar I thought the Navy would be the greater challenge she said Friends in high school were surprised by my decision to enter the academy but I was determined My parents were very supportive My mother told me you do what you want to do

It wasnt easy You squeeze five years of schooling into four years covering academics military training and athletics It gives you training for a leadership position and makes you accountable for what you do in the Navy It can be stressful but it was an interesting four years

Ensign Nelums is looking forward to her next step in her military training She enters the Navy Supply School for six months of training starting in December in Athens Ga

Ensign Davida Nelums visits friend Superintendent LeRoy Martin Nelums serves as inspiration to youth

earned the respect and admiration of all those who came in contact with him including cynics who had predicted the mild-mannered scholarly law professor wouldnt last six months

He was truly an outstanding person and we owe him a great deal of gratitute for his leadership his foresight and coushyrage Today we have the best police department in the nation and it is up to all of us to continue his tradition as we meet the challenges of the 1990s
