The Woman's Bureau of the iocal police department is an example of n organization “well conceived, well organized and well managed, but with- out the official status which is de- sirable,” It is declared by the Bureau of Public Personnel Administration in its_current monthly bulletin. Pointing out that Mrs. Mina Van Winkle's bureau has no standing ex- cept as is given by the 1926 polico manual, adgpted by order of the Dis- the bulletin_de- ares that “the organization which has been painstakingly built up might he overthrown or its work nullified” at any time. “As a matter of fact,” the publica- tion serts, “‘proposals which would seriously and unfavorably affect its work are being made at the present time, though apparently they are not being favorably considered by the B, commissioners.” The nature of these proposals is not divulged. The Bureau of Public Personnel Ad- ministration commends the Washing- ton authoritles for placing the House | of Detention under the Women's Bu- | reau, instead of leaving its adminis- tration and operation outside of the police department. “Where there is a woman's bureau in the police department,” it states, there is better assurance tha: the physical, mental and spiritual needs of those held will be properly pro- vided for; that the convenience of police and court officers will he hest served, and that costs will be kept Within reasonable hounds if this woman's bureau is made responsible for the House of Detention.” _ Referring to the Washington Wom- n's Bureau, the organization sa While the physical faeilit much to be desired and such modern features as adequate clinical service are not available, a careful survey of the situation leads to the conclusion that it would not be possible at the present time to provide in any other or the women and children held b, the police; to serve as well the con- venience of police and ¢ urt officers, or to keep the costs of the service ba. low the present levels," i The builetin reviews variou eth- ods employed in other l'lllf': 1:1' f‘Trl‘llhg for women and children in police cus- tody and tells of the different duties of policewomen under various plans of police administration. do_regular pol'ce rol or traflk duties is not favored by the organi- zation.
