WYNNE Pari t Crime and Police Or ganization. To summarize the types of crimes committed in Klamath Falls. Inspector Young took the statistics that are submitted an nually to the FBI in cooperation with the Uniform Crime Report ing program. These figiu-es were studied for the 10 year period, 1948 through 1957. This figure, in report lorm, shows that there were three clas sifications of crime which showed a decided jump in the last two years, melts under SoO in value jumped trom ism sucn cases in 135. to 330 in 19o6 and 344 in 1957. Thefts over $50 value also showed an increase from 71 in '55, 65 in '56, up to 92 in 1957. Biggest jump was showr in the auto theft category where the fig ures jumped from 19 auto thefts in each 1C55 and 19j6 up to 55 auto thefts m 1957. In other categories the incidence of crime is down. Robbery reports numbered 13 in 1955, 17 in 1955 but only five in 1957. Otherwise the crime incidence remains about normal for other categories such as murder and non-negligent man slaushter, negligent manslaughter, raDe. robbery, assault, etc. A chart on crime rates per 100.- 000 population shows Klamath Falls $50 and auto theft. Klamath Falls is only slightly higher than other cities in its population class in sucn crimes as robbery, burglary, and shows less aggravated assault than other cities of comparable size Regarding the status of relations between the Klamath Falls Police Department and other law enforce ment agencies, the report says: Mutual cooperation exists with the Klamath County Sheriff's Office: cooperation wth FBI on high lev el, but department not making use of all FBI s facilities: close cooper- ationwith the Oregon State Police uibo exi&is. However, when discussing the re lations with the district attorney the report states, "The writer is not conducting an investigation of the district attorney's office and is no' qualified to do so. However, from stories appearing in the lo cal newspaper, from conversations the writer has had wi.h various citi zens of the community, and from conversations the writer has had with several members of the po lice department, it is obvious that a serious cleavage exists between the district attorney's office and the police department." The report continues, "Officers are discouraged by what they con sider the lack of vigorous prose cution of people arrested and charged with crimes. This situa aw enforcement. An attempt should be made to correct this con dition at once." Discussing the organization of the department. Inspector Young wrote, "It does not appear that the department has become top-heavy with supervising and commanding officers. The members of the de partment are doing a fail job of policing the community considering the conditions under ich they are required to work. Most of them have an intense interest in a field that has developed almost to the point of being professional. The re port that follows is not meant to be critical of members of the de partment as individuals. The ob servations, criticisms and sugges tions should be interpreted as con structive and designed for the pur pose of improving conditions with in the department and increasing service to the people of the city of Klamath Falls. The report points out that the chief cannot adequately discharge his administrative responsibilities when his tune is being taken up with the details of extensive super vision. Ikrecommends the chief tssume a position of administrator of the department, and delegate basic op erational responsibility and author ity to divisional commanders, con fining his own work to planning, training, coordination and public relations including public appearances. It also says, "Tho size of the Klamath Fulls Police Department does not warrant an assistant chief of police." It recommends that the position be abolished and in its place a position of patrol lieuten ant should be established to com mand operations of the department It recommends that the chief be in command of two lieutenants, would have reporting directly to him five subordinate officers, three patrol sergeants and two detective sergeants. Proposed reorganization ol the department calls for three patrol sergeants supervising three pis toons that would operate from mid night to 8 a.m., 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and 4 p.m. to midnight, It was recommended that a de- . tective bureau be established, and that appointments to detective be from those holding the rank of sergeant. , The services lieutenant would su pervise the housekeeping activities of the department such as main tenance, police equipment, care and custody of property, receiving com plaints, keeping records, identifica tion, communications and jail op erations. In connection with this, it was also recommended that the civilian female employes of the department be changed to a commissioned sta tus. TRAIN HITS TRUCK RICHMOND, Va.

Instead of investigating the complaint which the police depart ment should do, the complainant is often referred directly to the district attorney s office for further action. It is obvious that such a situation cannot continue if the city of Klamath Falls wants efficient The operations lieutenant would be responsible for patrol, traffic, investigations, juvenile and vice.
