Reporter
Editor's note: Recontly News
Roview reporter Bill Sparks hap
pened to be with Roseburg city
police officers when they cap
tured two safe burglars. He won
dered if the policeman's life was
always exciting, or if it was just
routine, hard work. He accom
panied officer Don Webberley on
a full tour of night duty, and
the following story Is what he
learned about the job done by
Roseburg policemen, night in and
night out.
By BILL SPARKS
News-Review Staff Writer
The graveyard shift of the Rose
burg city police department checks
in at police headquarters about
10:45 p.m., ready to start eight
hours uf patrolling the city.
Oliiccr Don Weooeriey, arrivea
at the station at 10:43.
He explained that all of the
graveyard officers come in 15 min
utes early to look over uie not
sheet." "Graveyard," like the
same term at a lumber mill, stands
for the late night and early morn
ing shut. At the police depart
ment it means from 11 p.m. to 7
a.m.
The "hot sheet" is a list of stolon
and wanted cats which each of the
officers checks before going on
duty. He also carries a copy of
the hot sheet in the patrol car.
The license numbers which ap
pear on this sheet mean the driv
ers of these vehicles are wanted
for everything from failing to pay
an overtime parking ticket to mur
der. Special marks appear behind
those wanted for felonies, denot
ing the fact they should be con
sidered dangerous.
After checking the hot sheet,
Webberly looked at the most re
cent listings of stolen cars which
appeared on the teletype machine.
The new hot sheet wouldn't be
typed up until later the following
morning, so Webb made a list of
the wanted cars, writing the li
cense numbers on the palm of his
hand.
Sergeant Details Work
Next item on the agenda was a
discussion with the boss of the
night shift, Sgt. Sam Gosso. Gosso
details the work for the coining
eight hours, making each man
who'll be out in a car responsible
for a specific area of the city.
Webberly drew the safe patrol and
the west side.
Gosso was on security, which
also includes a safe patrol, and
officer Larry Burge drew the resi
dential 'patrol. Officer Norm Neal
was on the desk.
First. Webberley drove down SE
Stephens St. and made a check of
all the safes in various grocery
stores and other businesses in the
area. This is one of the most im
portant phases of the graveyard
security check.
Webb and each of the other offi
cers had learned where each safe
is supposed to be and how it is
supposed to look. They also know
how each door should lock in place
and which windows should or
shouldn't be open.
It was a simple light leak
through an open door which led
Burge and officer Bob Voss to dis
cover the safe burglars in the Food
Mart two weeks ago.
After finding all the safes to be
sitting just where they belonged
and all intact, Webb headed for
the west side. This includes all
the business area west of the Oak
Ave. Bridge.
Businesses Checked
This is also primarily a security
check, as the west side man checks
all doors, windows, etc. in every
business in that part of town. The
drug stores are checked especially
close because of the high potential
of a drug addict trying to get his
supplies from one of them. ;
This might sound as though time
goes swiftly on these routine check
On the contrary, its a slow, meth
odical job. Checking out the south
end of the city took more than a
half hour and officers later spent
more than an hour on the west'
side.
The routine check isn't just a
matter of driving by to see if
things look in order. It involves
getting out of the car dozens of
limes a night and rattling doors.
When asked if this didn't get
pretty boring, Webberley explain
ed, "Sure it does, but that's our
job. We're out there to make sure
everything is the way it helqngs.
We check and recheck every store
several times a night. Jiist be
cause it looks okay at midnight,
doesn't mean someone isn't trying
to knock over the safe at 2 a.m.
Stray Car Discovered
Driving through an alley he saw
a car, which didn't belong in the
area, parked near a gas station.
Webb called into the police station
and asked for a "12-20" on the li
cense number. The 12-20 is police
code for a wanted car. The hot
sheet contains only numbers for
the previous five days, but records
at the station contain all wanted
numbers received from Oregon,
Washington and California.
Neal radioed back the vehicle
was "12-21," which means not want
ed. Webberley then asked for a
"12-7," which means the registra
tion on the license number. Neal
advised him to stand-by, while he
sent a teletype message to Salem
and learned to whom the license
was registered.
Before the information came
back, the driver of the car re
turned and Webberly discovered
he had parked there while taking
his girl friend, who lived across
the street, home. Neal radioed in

the 12-7 and it was registered to
the driver of the car he had spot
ted. This time everything was clear
'The next time it might be some-
body trying to make off with a
load of ties," Webberley explain
ed.
Heading back toward the center
of town, he heard Burge advise
the station he was going "12-2,"
and he named a license number.
He said the car had been speed
ing through Roseburg and he had
stopped it on Diamond Lake Blvd.
"12-1" meant he would be out of
the car talking to the driver.
Fellow Officer Protected
Gosso. advised him he was on
the south end of the city and that
Webberly ' should "cover in" for
Burge. "Cover in" is a term mean
ing "Drive to the area where you
can observe what the other offi
cer is doing and be on hand if
there is any trouble."
"More policemen are killed
while making a supposedly rou
tine traffic stop than while actual
ly engaged in a battle with felons,"
Webberley explained.

At 3 a.m. Webberley went 12-2
for coffee. After a "pick-me-up"
stop, he was back to patrolliug
the streets.
City policemen on the grave
yard shift are given, two breaks,
one after three or four hours on
duty and the second about 5 a.m..
when they catch breakfast, lunch,
supper whatever it is that time
of morning.
Early Routine Repeated
The rest of the morning was a
repetition of the earlier hours
checking and rccheekmg to make
sure the city was sale. Several
times during the night and morn
ing, he ran into Gosso at different
places in the cily.
The third man on. the shift, us
ually the sergeant, double checks
all areas covered by the regular
ly assigned cars. More checking
and double checking. Boring as
it might sound, its one of the big
gest factors helping to give Rose
burg one of the lowest pcr-capita
crime ratings in the Pacific
Northwest.
Dawn had taken over from the
darkness when Webberley pulled j
into the station at 7 a.m. Tlw day I
crew was already there, checking
hot sheets and getting assign
ment from the shift sergeant.
While making out his activity
report for the shift just completed,
Webberley explained it takes about
a year for a man to learn the
city; to know how things should
look, which cars belong where;
which windows and doors should
be open or closed.
He said the shift he'd just com
pleted was the normal mid-week
lour of duty. Activity picks up on
the weekend, when more people
are out and keep police busy on
misdemeanors. This, he explained,
some felons use as a prime time
to commit crimes. "The .busier
they see you, the more chance
they figure they have to pull some
thing," he said.
Reserve Officers Help
He explained this was why the
police department had a special
crew of unpaid reserve officers j
who helped them on the weekends,:
and why they cooperated so close- i
