10 CHICAGO TO FIGHT CRIME WITH RADIO City Is Equipping 150 Autos and 50 Stations With Sets. BY ROBERT MACK. Radlo is going to be lised in an tempt to flatten out Chicago’s perm nent crime wave. A plan of crime detection and crimi- nal apprehension by radic {hat, in the opinion of experts, should rock Chi- cago's notorious underworld with fear has been adopted by the city police department, which has been waging & futile battle against gangsters, rack- eteers and hoodlums. Every eight city blocks there will be stationed a radio- equipped automobile, manned by patrol- men awaiting word from headquarters of crime on its particular “beat.” At police headquart-rs will be a high- powered short-wave radio-telephone transmitter, from which orders will issue. The service will be around the clock. Already 150 automobiles and 50 precinct stations are being equipped for the radio net. Next year 100 additional automobiles will be added to the service within city limits. In the suburbs 25 “radio cars” will be placed, as well as 25 radio-equipped police stations, all working from “radio police central.” Tear gas bombs, sawed-off_shotguns, machine guns, cameras and fingerprint equipment will be carried on the Tadio | Ambassa cars. The larger ones will be manned by five patrolmen, the smaller by two. The radio crime_detection met should cover Chicago's 300 square miles like the dew, according to the police de- partment. Apply for Channel. All this was related to the Federal Radio Commission by & high official of the Chicago police department in filing an application for a short-wave length below 3,200 kilocycles to be employed 1n the service. Based on past actions of the commission, approval of this appli- cation virtually is automatic, and awaits only the reconvening of the commission for a vote. For the preliminary work the city of Chicago has appropriated between $100,000 and $150,000, the com- mission was told. The system is the outgrowth of the resent radio criminal service operated v the Chicago police in co-operation with broadcasting station WGN. But this service, although good as far as it goes, does not go far enough. Besides this shortcoming, the emergency calls are broadcast to the public, criminals and all, over the regular transmitter of WGN, right in the middle of a musi- cal program or what not. The new system, although a radio- telephone service, as distinguished from radio telegraphv of code. will be on ghort waves and not within the range of reception of the broadcasting receiv- ing sel. Special short-wave recelvers must be used. Criminals, of course, can buy them, but they are not to be found at everr street corner. Car Every Eight Blocks. The radio cars will be equipped with special receivers, constructed to with- stand jars and bumps. Located at in- tervals of eight blocks, these cars, it is believed by the department, should be on the scene of the crime even before the offender has had time to leave the premises. Radio crime detection systems now are operated in seven cities, but not on the commrehensive scale contemplated in Chicago. The Detroit police depart- ment has just been licensed for a sys- tem comparable to the Chicago project. It is a matter of covering only 144 square miles in Detroit, whereas Chi- cago has the problem of 300 square miles, as well as a somewhat healthier crime growth. With its system Detroit 1s reported to have apprehended a crim- inal within 30 seconds after the order was broadcast. Other cities which either have radio detection systems or are authorized by the commission to install them are Cincinnati. Highland Park, Mich.; Dal- las, Buffale: Baltimore, Boston, and Berkeley.
