"In the United States a major responsibility rests upon the shoulders of our Chiefs of Police."
"I look forward confidently to the day when the moral forces of every community will rally to your support in the fight against crime everywhere."
"The police by instinct are the enemies of gang activities, robberies, holdups, and ruthless murder."
"The Chiefs of Police occupy a position of high command in that service."
