Mr. Ball. What is your business or occupation?
Mr. Westbrook. Captain of police.
Mr. Ball. The Commission has asked us to put something in the record about everybody's past experience. Can you tell me about where you were born—they don't get to take a look at you, so they would like to read about you.
Mr. Westbrook. I was born in Benton, Ark., November 9, 1917. I was a farm boy and came to Dallas in 1937, and went on the police department June 13, 1941, and I served as a radio patrolman for approximately 4 years, promoted to sergeant, and was a sergeant for about 6 or 7 years, and was promoted to captain in 1952, and have held that position since.
Mr. Ball. What are your duties in general, captain?
Mr. Westbrook. At the present time I am personnel officer. We conduct all background investigations of applicants, both civilian and police, and then we make—we investigate all personnel complaints—not all of them, but the major ones.
Mr. Ball. Do you wear a uniform?
Mr. Westbrook. Well, it is optional. I don't wear one.
