THE POLICEMAN
To carry out the will of the people as expressed in law is one duty of the police; to protect the city from crooks and thieves is another duty; to shelter refugees and give them food and clothing in times of great emergency is a third duty.
“A competent policeman to-day should be sanitary officer, guide, counsellor, thief-catcher, peace-officer and soldier, all rolled into one.”—Arthur Woods.
