Daily. BROOKLYN’S WAY. ~In-Brooklyn-some‘things are-done differently and-better-than-in-old New York. One of these improvements is the manner in which charges against policemen are handled.” For a long time it has been the custom for Police Commissioners to yall over the way the courts review the judgments in police trials. Quite aften a commissioner tries and breaks a policeman, only to have his <decision reversed_on appeal-to fhe court...Far this it has. been customary. Court” of Appeals have taken great pains in numerous. opinions to tell Police iContmissioners what the law is and how. disobedient or incom- petent policemen can be removed from the force. A policeman can be broken either for violating the criminal. hws of the State, which apply alike to all citizens, -or—-fer breaking the’ rules of the department, which apply. to. policémen_ onl This is a distinction which trial police commissioners seem to have difficulty in comprehending. _A-po- Code.as anybody else. If he takes a bribe or commits a felonious as- _sault or steals he is guilty ofa Grime, and the | proper course is to arrest: hinz, lock him up, indict him, try | ‘him, convict him and,send him to State prison just as if he were an ordinary citizen. The verdict of the jury and the pronouncement of the sentence by tire judge carry the ejection of a criminal from the police But the Penal Code has nothing to do with the rules of the Police Department, which every policeman is presumed to know, and for the violation of which he can be suspended, fined or dismissed at the dis- =-tretion.of the Police Gommissioner. -What-the_courts have decided is that while-the- disciplinary. powers fhe Police Commissioner are ample and complete, he has no right to ‘convict a policeman of a crime without such evidence as would warrant ‘& fury to convict, and without such a fair trial as any citizen accused of trime fs constitutionally entitled to receive.
