Lt, Urech Speaks To Club Shore Patrol Work Described To Rotarians The duties and authority of mili- tary police in any area where there is a military establishment were outlined by Lt. Jake Urech,, USN, Senior Shore Patrol officer, in a talk given yesterday at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club. Lt. Urech was introduced by Ro. tarian Claude Spear, chairman of the club’s youth committee. He explained that “MP” refers to Army personnel assigned to po- lice duty, and “SP” or Shore Pa- trol was the term used by the Na- vy. Local Personnel The Key West area, which in- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN cludes that part of Monroe Coun- ty comprising the lower keys, has a complement of 2 officers and 55 enlisted men. The numbe1 of Shore Patrol as- signed to duty at any one time is based on the number of personnel on liberty, usually one member of the Shore Patrol to 35 men. He stressed that the duty of the Shore Patrol is to maintain or- der, aid and assist Navy personnel, and to protect their rights. The Shore Patrol tries to anti- cipate trouble and prevent inci- dents from arising from unseem- ly conduct on the part of Navy personnel, Friday, March 12, 1954 Look and fit like $20 slacks yet cost only $190” new, nubby texture $12.95 famous porous weave PALM BEACH’ ~ Give yourself the piel of their cool comfort, colorful smartness These Palm Beach slacks combine beautiful tailor. ing, smart style and fit with the famous coolness of Palm Beach “ventilated weave”.

Lt. Urech stated that the Shore Patrol has jurisdiction over Naval personnel only while they are on liberty. He stressed that the Shore Patrol tries to maintain friendly relations with civilian authorities. When it is necessary for the Shore Patrol to question a service man, whether he is in uniform or civilian clothes, they must give complete information as to name, rank, ship or station, but the Pa- trol is instructed to be courteous in such instances. Not a Punitive Group The Senior patrol officer stress- ed that it is not the duty of the Shore Patrol to punish violators. The night stick is carried for the protection of the Patrol. They are not allowed to beat up any one they are trying to apprehend. As Lt. Urech humorously put it, “If a man is hurt, he must be sent to sick bay, and the tax payers don’t get their money’s worth. We like to keep our men healthy so they can go to work the next morn- The Shore Patrol has no authori- ty over civilians, except to require them to identify service men in- volved in a disturbance with civ- ilians. The Shore Patrol has no au- thority to turn a service man over to municipal, county, or state au- thorities. FBI Can Help In certain instances, the Federal Bureau of Investigation can inter- vene. The Shore Patrol has the right to testify in cases involving service personnel and civilians. Shore Patrol personnel may be assigned to ride in civilian police vehicles for the purpose of appre- hending and taking into custody service men who “break te peace” or are involved in any misdemeanor. It is the sole responsibility of the Shore Patrol in this area to maintain order in Naval Housng Units, such as Sigsbee Park and Peary Court, since the State has ceded all rights to the Govern- ment. Cases involving civilians living in the area are referred to Federal authorities. Quelling Disturbances The Shore Patrol has the auth- ority to enter private establish- ments in the event a disturbance involves military personnel, or in a case such as a riot, where in- tervention is for the “‘good of the community.” Lt, Urech aaid that the Navy takes “‘action only after careful investigation.” He said that civil- ian complaints against Navy per- sonnel should be referred to the Shore Patrol, which then notifies the offender’s commanding officer. In turn, the commanding officer investigates the complaint and re- commends the proper procedure in the case. Effect of Draft In closing, Lt. Urech said that sinee the Selective Service law be- came effective, many men are in the services who would not other- people’s sons are serving the Key West Area, your sons ay be serving on other bases.” answer to a question by one the Rotary members, Lt.

City Authority In answer to another question, Lt. Urech reiterated that the city and state has no authority in the Sigsbee and Peary Court housing projects. It is the duty of the Shore Patrol to suppress disorder- ly conduct, and the Shore Patrol may call on the FBI for assist- ance if necessary, Paul Sher announced that Ro- tary National convention will be held in Seattle, Washington on June 10, 11, and 12, and the Dis- trict assembly will be in DeLand, Florida, April 25, 26, and 27.
