This is because the police - depart- ment has effectually nipped in the bud all attempts to flagrantly transgress. 'l"he appointment of Chief Rawlinga camie on March 20, 1900, but. he.did not take office until the first of the following month. He:is the fifth man who - hag served the city as chief of police. "A. W. Whittaker was = the first_incumbent. . He was followed By. A. 'W. Spaulding who resigned to he- come sheriff - of Hartford. . Tounts ‘Washington L. Morgan . ‘served for ten years and at his. th Chief Johnson took up the n He re- signed - after about seven ‘years of service. ‘At ‘that time the police de- partment was.in & state of chaos and following a sen lonal - upheaval Chief Rawlings.was' famed. * At that time the late Captain Patrick Lee was an active member of the force, but he steadfastiy refused :to permit his friends to. even mention ' his name as a ' candidate, Detective - Sergeant Samuel Bamforth was groomed at the time by some of his friends .for the p/onlth‘m. bBut made no aggressive fight for the office and on Chief Rawlings’ appointment assured him of his loyal- ty. When the present chief took of- fice in 1900 theé day patrol force con- sisted. of one man who strolled about the center of the ¢ity. The entire de- partment consisted of but a = dozen men, including the .chief himself. In those days it was the custom for the /|'ehief to lock up the police station dur- ing the noon hour while he went home to dinner. It became apparent, how- ever, that the noon Howmr was one of the most important &g soon - Chiet Rawlings secured tweg' day policemen and threw away the Headquarters key. Since then the police station has never been closed.. Then began the long fight for additional policemen. For several year#two officers wers added annually. Then none were ap- pointed, but finally the department has been increased until, at present it numbers fifty-two regulars and forty- three supernumeraries, * s 8 . During his sevénteen years of ser- vice Chief Rawlings has seen \safety boards come and go. He has seen all sorts of plans suggested. Some have proved practical and some have not. Under the regime the detegtive bureau has been established and a patrol has been added. In the old days an officer making ‘an arrest either had to walk his prisoner to the station or commandeer a passing wagon. Later a horsé drawn vehicle was purchased and finally . the - present automobile patrol ambulance. A majority of the' city's sensational murders have occured during Chief Rawlings' term of affice. Of all these the chief states that' the famous Zebris-Gilmanaitis murder in the Church street parish housé two years ago last month was the biggest. The ‘baffling. Bosworth murder a . few years after the cHief took over the police department 'reins was . second only to this parish. house murder.
