  "The War Years of the NYPD". Thanks Chief JK, I appreciate that video. Many times, I was pulled over by these Anti Crime Police Officers while driving my old Ford Pinto station wagon. I guess they pulled me over because I just didn't fit in. Often times thinking my purpose was to make a "buy". I had no problem with that. In fact, I was glad they were doing their job.

Willy D - The only "buy" you would have would have been at a McDonalds restaurant.  Yes, you would have been suspicious driving around in an old Ford Pinto, with CT plates, at 3AM, chasing fire engines in the worst neighborhoods in the world.

1943 Spring 3100, Mayor's Speech to graduation


Appointments to the Force ? Promotions to Captain



FEBRUARY 17, 1943


Promoted men, graduates and newly-inducted probationers listen to a
heart-to-heart talk by Mayor LaGuardia.

I HAVE repeatedly stated that I would sooner pro-
vide a grave at Potter's Field for a vicious crim-
. inal than pin a medal on a police officer's widow,"
Mayor LaGuardia told his listeners at the commence-
ment exercises held on the afternoon of Wednesday,
February 17, in the Line-up Gallery at Police Head-
quarters. The ceremonies included also the induction
into the service of 284 probationary patrolmen and 10
policewomen and the promotion of 20 lieutenants, "the
cream of the crop," as Commissioner Valentine aptly
termed them, to the rank of captain, they being the
men whose names topped the recently promulgated
list for promotion to that rank.

" ? and if at any time you are called and have to
approach a criminal in the act of committing a crime
and he's armed with a gun, you shoot first," the Mayor
advised, "and be quick on the trigger.

"Whenever force is being used in the commission
of a crime you must use a superior force to suppress



it. That's the A B C of policing. It does not mean
that violence can be used by the police on a peaceful
citizen or where no crime of violence has been com-
mitted. Naturally, you must exercise judgment, but
do not take a chance yourself."

Both the graduates and the new appointees were
reminded by the Mayor that they were entering the
police service of their own volition ; that they would
have to put up with a great deal in the matter of
hardship and discomfort and that it should be thor-
oughly understood that the Police Department is con-
structed along military lines and that strict discipline
is essential.

"I say that," the Mayor continued, "because in these
days some youngsters want to be wise guys, and in the
Police Department wise guys just do not fit."

Mentioning the training to which recruits at the
time of their induction are subjected, the Mayor said
that despite the rigidness of the course the students



SPRING 3100



should not get the idea upon being graduated and as-
signed to precinct duty that they then know all about
policing and the various procedures involved.

"You may have acquired an excellent knowledge ?
a theoretical knowledge ? of your duties," the speaker
declared, "but in this city it takes years to make a
police officer? and it costs the city money during that
time."

Stressing the added tension of police work due to
the war, the Mayor advised in his usual vigorous lan-
guage against the use of liquor and against attempts
on the part of members to live beyond their means.

"Keep off strong liquor," he advised, explaining that
drinking never did anyone any good and that it does
not mix with a nightstick, a billy or a revolver. A
drinking policeman all too often becomes a pathetic
case, he explained. He pointed out, too, that frequently
men with families ? and with years of service in the
Department ? are brought to trial for their misdeeds
when it is too late ? when nothing can be done to save
them.

Turning to the subject of law enforcement, the
Mayor called attention to the fact that war brings
about certain conditions that are very difficult to
control.

"I don't think it is right to say that more people
engage in crime during a war, but I do say that
there are more criminals who will take a chance during
times of stress because they know the people are tense,
and, too, that law enforcement officers have many
additional duties to perform, all of which tends to
produce in the mind of the criminal the idea that he
can get away with it."

Addressing himself to the policewomen, both the
graduates and the inductees, the Mayor explained a
distinct and useful service can be rendered by them
as members of a police organization of a city the size
of New York. He praised the work of the Juvenile
Aid Bureau of the Police Department and explained
that many of the new policewomen will be assigned to
duty with that branch of the service.

The Mayor after complimenting the twenty newly-
promoted captains on their success in what he termed
a "very exacting promotional examination," told them
that the rank of captain doesn't mean any more that
the incumbents sit all day at a desk.

"It means that you will be out in the field in com-
mand of your men," he told them, explaining further
that in the old days when a policeman became a ser-
geant he wore out the seat of his pants more quickly
than the soles of his shoes.

A commanding officer, he said, in modern tactics
is to be found in the field with his men.

"I know that all you captains will afford to your
Commissioner full and complete and loyal cooperation ;
and I know, too, that you men who have entered the
service, and those of you who go on duty today, will
live up to the fine traditions of this Department. You
will make good in your chosen profession, I'm sure.
As for you men going into the Academy, play the game.
Take the advice of the older men in the Department;
make up your minds that you have chosen a profession
? a life's work, and give to the city the best that is
in you."

The Mayor in the statement which follows took
public notice for the first time of repeated rumors of
the resignation of Commissioner Valentine:

"I was asked not so long ago if it is true that Police



Commissioner Valentine is going to resign. Yes, I
answered. And it is also true that we are going to hold
a benefit at Randalls Island when that occurs for book-
makers and gamblers, and that together on that occa-
sion Gypsy Rose Lee and the Mayor are going to do a
strip tease."

Commissioner Valentine brought out in the course
of his address the fact that several of the men pro-
moted to captain that day are only 36 years of age and
have but 15 years of service in the Department; also
that four of them had been raised from the rank of
patrolman during his administration.

"I want to call to your particular attention," the
Commissioner said, "that these men? the top of the
list? the cream of the crop ? some of whom got over
90% in their mental? didn't stop after they'd mounted
the first rung of the ladder of success. They continued
to climb and they are just as ambitious today as they
were when they came into the Department."

The Commissioner spoke of the "terrific beating"
taken because of the severe cold last month by the
men who had just left the training school for precinct
duty in the various commands. It is part of their job,
he explained. It will make them rugged if they can
stand it.

Whether it's heat or cold, rain, hail or sleet, our
men "must take it," the Commissioner asserted.

"In this connection you must always remember that
the more extreme weather conditions are, the more
vigilant and alert must be the members of our Depart-
ment when on patrol. In extreme cold a person may
fall and in a few moments be frozen to death. Then,
too, we must keep before our minds always the spectre
in extremely cold weather of fire breaking out in an
apartment house or other dwelling? particularly in
the nighttime. Persons in order to keep warm will
overheat oil or gas stoves or similar apparatus for
heating, and the cry of 'fire' in the middle of the night
? in zero weather ? will paralyze anyone. It is for this
reason men on patrol must be eternally vigilant in
order to detect the first signs of fire and be able then
to carry out their sworn duty to protect life and prop-
erty." .

Speaking of the difficulty experienced today m ob-
taining manpower, the Commissioner paid tribute to
President Harry Marsh of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission, who was one of the guests at the cere-
mony.

"I want to thank him for the fine type of men we
are getting," the Commissioner said, mentioning in
explanation of this statement the several lists recently
promulgated by the Commission for various appoint-
ments and promotions within the Department.

"We welcome you all," the Commissioner said in
closing, and directing his remarks to the graduates
and the new class of inductees, he bade them to re-
member the picture witnessed by them that day of
twenty young men being promoted to the rank of cap-
tain in the Department.

"You have the same opportunity," he asserted.
"Your responsibility is exactly the same as was theirs.
They did it? and you, too, can do it ? by application,
by industry, perseverance, intelligence, and by char-
acter."

Mayor LaGuardia in the course of the proceedings
made the usual award of a regulation service revolver
to the three probationary patrolmen and the proba-
tionary policewoman obtaining highest marks in their



SPRING 810



training school course, and likewise to the probationer
obtaining the highest marks in shooting. The re-
cipients of the awards, all of whom were presented to
the city's chief executive by Commissioner Valentine,
were:

Hiram C. Bloomingdale trophy: Probationary
Patrolman Robert H. Rapp, who had the highest aver-
age in all subjects.

Mayor's trophy: Probationary Patrolman Joseph
N. Delaney, second highest average.

Police Commissioner's trophy : Probationary Patrol-
man William C. Hayes, third highest average.

Masbeck trophy: Probationary Patrolman Saul
Fuchs, highest general average in shooting.

Chief Inspector's trophy: Probationary Police-
woman Emma Alden, who attained the highest gen-
eral average in all subjects for probationary police-
