Los documentos aqu presentados llegaron a mis manos de una forma muy
peculiar. El coronel retirado, Toms Maldonado, a quien pertenecan estos, me
los regal indicando que era la nica persona que valoraba lo que contenan los
mismos. Cul fue mi sorpresa, que dos semanas ms tarde, Don Tommy
fallecera en el cuartel general de la Polica de Puerto Rico. La confianza en mi
puesta me mueve a buscar que dependencia o institucin puede valorar este
legado. Tras mucho buscar encontr al Instituto de Estadsticas de Puerto Rico
como el organismo que no solo preservara el documento sino que lo hara
accesible a todo el que lo necesite.
Luis G. de Jess, BS
Ex Director Divisin de Estadsticas
Polica de Puerto Rico

Como parte de su misin, el Instituto de Estadsticas realiza trabajos para asegurar que las
estadsticas de Puerto Rico estn completas y accesibles. Con la publicacin el informe Estadsticas
de enfermedades infecciosas de notificacin obligatoria en Puerto Rico, 1949-1992 el 3 de febrero de
2010, el Instituto de Estadsticas rescat informacin de gran valor estadstico-histrico que estaba
archivado nicamente en papel. Ese primer esfuerzo correspondi a un programa especial para
comenzar la digitalizacin de documentos histricos de distintas agencias o corporaciones
gubernamentales.

En esta ocasin el Instituto de Estadsticas publica los Informes Anuales de la Polica de Puerto Rico,
1901-1955. Estos informes, que renda el jefe de la Polica al Primer Ejecutivo, tenan el propsito de
presentar datos administrativos, y documentar las actividades y los logros experimentados por esta
agencia en su misin de proteger y brindar seguridad a las personas y las propiedades. Los Informes
comprenden un conjunto de documentos de gran valor multidisciplinario. La disponibilidad de
Informes para 46 de los 55 aos entre 1901 a 1955 nos provee mltiples fuentes primarias de
investigacin para reconocer la evolucin de la criminalidad y de ste cuerpo de seguridad durante la

Los datos presentados en este informe son de gran valor histrico. Aunque en aos anteriores
investigadores han hecho anlisis de los datos de criminalidad de los ao 1900-1940, este informe
contiene los datos originales recopilados por la Polica hasta el ao fiscal 1955. El acceso a estos
documentos permitir que otros investigadores puedan analizar los mismos desde otras perspectivas.
Los prrafos a continuacin presentan propuestas de algunas formas de cmo abordar la informacin
contenida en estos Informes Anuales de la Polica de Puerto Rico. Los investigadores podrn brindar
un sinfn de posibilidades de investigacin e interpretacin a estos datos.

Desde la perspectiva de administracin pblica
La gerencia de la agencia. Esto incluye el manejo del presupuesto, la distribucin de las reas
policiacas; la visin y prioridades en la implantacin de la poltica pblica del primer ejecutivo.
, estos Informes contienen informacin estadstica
valiosa sobre los distintos componentes operacionales, administrativos y de apoyo en la Polica de
Puerto Rico. Estos permitirn analizar los siguientes elementos
El crecimiento del cuerpo de la Polica.
La inclusin de nuevos oficios o profesiones dentro de la agencia.
La inclusin de avances tecnolgicos como el automvil, en sus operaciones.

Desde la perspectiva sociolgica estos Informes proveen informacin valiosa para analizar los
efectos sociales en la isla por los cambios econmicos y polticos experimentados en la primera mitad
del siglo XX. Ejemplo de esto lo son la implantacin de la prohibicin del alcohol, la proliferacin de
movimientos de huelgas durante la Gran Depresin, correlacin de incidencia criminal con el
desarrollo econmico, y el rol del cuerpo de seguridad durante la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial,
entre otros. Desde la perspectiva salubrista, los datos de criminalidad permiten estudiar las
tendencias temporales de esta. Esto permitir hacer una comparacin de cmo la criminalidad ha
evolucionado en la isla, e identificar si las polticas pblicas establecidas han dado resultado.

INSU LARPOLICE
FISCAL Y E A ~ ENDED JUNE, 30, 1911
The insular police commission, an honorary body, which in accordance
with the law has control of the affairs of the police of Porto Rico, has
continued during the past year to devote much attention to this orgsniza-
tion. The commission in its annual report to the Governor invites special
to the present high state of efficiency of the police organization, which
it attributes in a great measure to the loyal and intelligent cooperation
of the officers and men of the force in the performance of their duties.
Attention was invited to the fact that although the pay of members of the
police force is not high, applications were received during the past year
from 8 sergeants, 21 corporals, and 340 guardsmen for reenlistment at the
expiration of their terms of service.
The present police organization consists of a chief of police, a
chief of the bureau of information, an adjutant, 1 first-class, 4 second,
3 fourth, 5 sixth, 20 seventh, and 23 eighth class district chiefs; 15
sergeants, 40 corporals, and 600 guardasmen, distributed among the 66
police districts of the island. A patrol system observed by all district
chiefs enables them to make weekly inspections throughout their respective
districts, which in some instances cover considerable territory, whereby
the entire island is kept under almost constant observation and the police
organization in close touch with local conditions.
1 ~
Especially was the efficiency of the police organization demon-
"
strated during the elections in the fall of 1910. The tacful and
intelligent manner in which they handled many situations which otherwise
might have proved disagreeable was so apparent as to result in numerous
telegrams and letters of congratulation from all parts of the island.
-Pgina 88 de 1653-
- 2 ...
The total number of arrests during the year was 50,895, of which but
533 were for felonies. This presents a decrease of 4,767 from the number
of arrests made during the previous year indicating, among other things,
less lawlessness and discontent, undoubtedly due in a large measure to the
fact that a large number of previously unemployed persons are now engaged
in peaceful pursuits. During the year 47 murders were committed and with
one exception the authors thereof promptly apprehended. It is probable
that in few countries can as low a record of felonies committed ;n propor-
tion to the population be shown as is found in Porto Rico, or as large a
percentage of arrests in the number of crimes committed. The people as
a rule are peaceful, law-abiding, and respectful. They are usually Willing
to assist the police in their efforts to maintain law and order, and are
ever ready to cooperate with them in the apprehension of offenders, as a
result of which few criminals escape.
The cost of policing the island during the last fiscal year was
$433,670.04. or $10.558.86 less than the expense of the previous year.
The bureau of information; maintained in connection with and to
assist the police organization, has by means of its detectives rendered
exceedingly valuable service. Cattle, jewelry, money, and miscellaneous
articles aggregating in value $15,000 have been recovered by the bureau
during the past year. Of the 50,895 arrests made, 1,824 were made by the
agents of this bureau, 1,596 of which resulted in convictions and but 228
in acquittals.
The work of the past year has proved conclusively that police
efficiency is materially increased by the use of saddle horses, of which
there were on hand at the end of the year 102. The organization with the
assistance of mounted men now performs much more service and covers much
-Pgina 89 de 1653-
- 3 -
more territory in outlying districts at frequent intervals than was before
possible with many mora men and no horses.
Experience has also shown that the average police officer is quick
to Jearn how properly to care for and use his mount to the best advantage.
The chief of police has recommended, and the suggestion seems to
be worthy of consideration, that not only should the number of mounted
men be increased, but that a number of district chiefs and other police
officers should be furnished bicycles with which more effectively to cover
their territory. Statistics covering the work and organization of the
police force for the year ending June 30,1911, will be found in Exhibit D
herewi th.

INSULAR POLICE
Fiscal Year 1912-13
There has been no change In the organization of the police force.
The enlistments during most of the year have been maintained at the
maximum of 625, authorized by law, except during the election period of
1912, when 667 special policemen were enrolled for a period of six days.
The unlfonned police and the detective force both performed meritortous
service during the bubonic-plague epidemic, assisting the health authori-
ties by special attention to the enforcement of regulations, by doing
inspection work, and by conveying to the people Instructions as t& preventive
,
measures they should adopt, and In many other ways that made their activities
timely and valuable.
The pollee made 41,658 arrests during the year, as compared with
52,967 during 1912, which, with a decrease in the number of murders and
other serious violations of law and order, Indicated a notable decre,se In
crime.
Statistics with reference to the work of the pollee force will be
found in Exhibit C of Appendix I.

INSULAR POLICE
Fiscal Year Ended June 30. 1914
No mat.tial change has been made in the organization of the police
force during the year. the number of guardsmen having been maintained at 625
as authotlzed by law, except that a number of posltlonl were left vacant
during the lalt few months In order to effect the reduction In foroe'to 600
In accordance with the appropriation act for 1914-15.
This force has efficiently policed the entire island and. In addition.
has materially assisted the courts. the sanitary service, the interior depart-
ment. and the bureau of weights and measures.
A carefully prepared book of rules and regulations for the guidance
of police officers was published by the department in January. 1914.
OWing to the necessity for economy. the legislature in its last
session repealed the section of the police law relating to reenlistments and
allowing additional pay therefor. and also eliminated the provisions for In-
,
creased compensation to sergeants. corporals. and guardsmen serving in the
district of San Juan and to guardsmen serving as detectives, ~ h i c h reductions
affect a majority of the force. The legislature also failed to make any
provision for the stabling and keeping of police horses. which are particularly
needed in the rural and mountainous districts, where officers have a large
territory to cover. Various centrals. proprietors, and police officers have,
however, undertaken to maintain these horses at their own expense to enable
the proper policing of the districts in which they are located, which will
make it unnecessary, for a time, at least. to dispose of the horses.
The pollee made 42.154 arrests during the year, and of the 38,765
cases which have come to trial 33,801, or 87 per cent, have resulted in
convictions. The number of acquittals has been steadily decreasing during

the past six years, and Indicates that careful Investigations are being made
prior to the presentation of cases In court.

on June 30, 1918". there remained on hand an unexpended balance
of $5,356.07. See 'exhibit "G."
RECRUITING OF POLICE:
On account of having exhausted the number of candidates for
enlistment in the force and due to the Nation's call to young men
for enlistment in the Navy and Army and many policemen leaving
our force to join those branches of the W a ~ Department, on July,
1917, it was found necessary that the Hon. Insular Police Commis-
sion should meet as recruiting board, which they did at San Juan
on July 17, 1917, and from the men who appeared for examination
two hundred (200) were approved for future enlistment in the
Insular Police.
ApPOINTMENTS:
During the fiscal year, 187 guardsmen and 3 detectives were ap-
pointed; 193 guardsmen, 15 corporals, 3 sergeants and 8 detectives
reenlisted.

MORALE OF THE FORCE:
In general, the morale of the force wp.s satisfactDry, although
several punishments were imposed upon several officers, due to viola-
tions of the rules and regulations of the Insular Police and for other
misconduct. The punishments consisted?f fines, reprimands in gen-
eml orders and extraordinary duty. Fines amounted to the sum of
$298.50, or $54.50 less than the previous year ($353).
PROPERTY:
On June 30, 1917, the value of unexpendable property on hand
was $65,926.90. That acquired during the year was valued at
$6,747.16, and property worth ,$9,013.69 was dropped from the books,
following the instructions from the Auditor.
Horses.-From the $9,013.69 worth of property dropped, $709
represented the value of 7 horses which were killed, for being affected
with contageous disease.
The following statement shows the number of horses owned by
the Police Department on July 1, 1917, those killed during the year
and the number on hand at the close of the fiscal year:
On hand, July 1, 1917 89
Killed 7
Horses on hand Jnly 1, 1918 82
These horses travelled a total of 99,187 miles during the year.
No horses were purchased nor sold during the past year.
Due to the excessive number of citations created by the military
conscription, as most of the men registered and many who failed to
register resided in the rural ba1'1'ws of the Island, the police horses
were overworked, in order to round up those persons who tried to
escape military service and closely cooperate with the officials in
charge of the selection.
The present number of horses available is most insufficient and
their use in the Police Department is beyond any dispute or doubt
of the exceptional benefit not only to the Police but to taxpayers as
well. The supply of horses is limited only because of the amount
of money appropriated by the Legislature, for reasons of economy,
and I will submit to the Hon. Insular Police Commission necessary
budgetary requirements for the increase and maintenance of an .ade-
quate number of these animals.
Atdomobiles.-On June 30, 1918, the Police Department pos-
sessed eight (8) automobiles, namely: one (1) Marmon Car, No.2,

The total number of miles travelled by these bicycles during the
past year is 11,872; miles. These vehicles are also economical and afford
valuable help to the force, when serving citations to people living
along roads, and especially in large towns, for the inspection of officers
at duty in the various beats, which are situated at considerable dis-
tance from the quarters.
Therefore, at least a supply of 100 bicycles should be maintained.
Uniform Fttnd.-This fund, which is a no-fiscal year appropriation
and was created in September, 1908, is utilized for the purcha3e of
uniforms and other equipment for the policemen. The purchased
material is sold to the officers and the proceeds of such sales are re-
imbursed to the Insular Treasl:.ry by deductions made in the monthly
pay-rolls.
The total expenditures made during the year for the purchase of
uniforms and its materials amounted to $17,884.57, and on June 30,
1918, the value of stock on hand was $5,333.33.
Due to war conditions the cost of uniforms for guardsmen has
one ,(1) Peerless Police Patrol, No. 1001, and six (6) Ford Touring
Cars, Nos. 120, 801, 841, 1355, 2127 and 2131, respectively.
Marmon Car No. 2 covered 10,652 miles, at a cost of up-keep of
$1,505.11, or an average of 14.1 cents per mile.
Police Patrol No. 1001 traveled 4,713 miles, at a cost of up-keep
of $706.96, making an average of 15 cents per mile.
The six Ford cars covered 33,543 miles, at a cost of up-keep of
$1,823.83, giving an average of 51/2 cents per mile.
Automobiles are most useful and necessary in this Department
and they provide economical means of transportation for removing
policemen to those towns not touched by the railroads and afford
great facilities for carrying officers to court a:D.d the inspection of
police posts. In cases of emergency they save much expense in the
transportation of policemen to the place of the occurrence. These
vehicles are, beyond any doubt, most valuable and of great assistance
to the force and their number should be increased as far as ecori:omy
and the necessities of the Department would allow.
Biaycles.-Following is a statement of the number of bicycles on
hand by July 1, 1917, those acquired during the year, number of
bicycles destroyed and the value of same:
3,104.80
increased from $9.50 to $16.50} and their salary being but $45, it
is absolutely prohibitive for the officers to purchase such expensive
clothes. The district chiefs are also paying for uniform cloths about
60 per cent more than in time of peace. In the near future I will
submit cloths and suggestions for a less costly uniform which could
1e used during the period of war.
Relict Fund.-The following is a statement of the conditions of
this fund on July 1, 1918:

service became invalid and some of them had to be'3discharged, while
others were placed under special medical treatment. For the same
purposes a number of subscriptions were raised among the members

From the above table it will be noticed that thE:; total number of
arrests made during 1917-18, namely, 43,956, has decreased that of
the previous year by 6,417.
Of the 43,956 arrests made there were 622 cab.es of felony, a de-
crease of 41 as compared with the number of the previous year. These
felonies consisted of 27 cases of murder, 29 of homicide, 42 threats
to kill and 524 cases of burglary and other crimes. (See exhibits
"B" and "C.")
The following table shows the total number of cases tried (con-
victions and acquittals), during each of the past eight years:
LIBERTY BONDS AND RED-OROSS SUBSORIPTIONS.
During the Liberty Bonds and Red Cross campaigns, in both of
which Porto Rico endeavored to do her part, the members of the
Insular Police, although receiving a limited salary, showed their good
,will and generosity towards the Government, by subscribing their
most for the increase of war funds.
1-.
Most of the district chiefs bought a Liberty Bond each and a good
number of the policemen purchased theirs by the installment plan
arranged by the b"nks.
In behalf of the Red Cross the members of the force not only
contributed a day's salary each, but also raised collections be-
tween themselves and the amounts were donated to the American
Red Cross.
Their attitude in these respects showed an intimation on the part
of the police to do their part not only in work but for financial assist-
ance as well.

FUGITIVES.
During the past year there were 146 escaped prisoners, proceeding
from the Penitentiary, camps at various insular ro'ads, reform school,
district and municipal jails, Insane Asylum, Leprous Colony and
ships anchored at ports of the Island.
From 84 prisoners escaped from the Penitentiary and insular
roads, 56 were recaptured; of 4 boys escaped from the Reform School,
3 were located; of 48 prisoners escaped from the jails, 31 were recap-
-tured; 2 insanes who ran away from the asylum were arrested; one
leprous escaped from the asylum was located and from 7 sailors who
had deserted their ships, 2 were located and brought back.

DISORDERLY HOUSES AND TENEMENTS.
Since the promulgation of the Federal Law, prohibiting the exist-.
ence of houses of ill fame, brothelfJ and baudy houses- within a radio
of five miles of any military camp, post, fort, etc., the Police Depart-
ment ensued an energetic campaign against prostitutes and persons
engaged in keeping houses for assignation purposes.
This Department, acknowledging the importance of the law and
- understanding that its enforcement would guard the maintenance
and improvement of the health and morale of our soldiers and the
publie, in general, cooperating with the Han. Attorney General, Fed-
eral and insular courts and with the district fiscals, took strenuous
measures to eliminate the danger from this source by confining dis-
eased women in designated places until they are cured or suppressed.
The work is difficult, evidence in many instances is extremely
hard to obtain and it must be remembered that the social conditions
are such as to make circumstances extremely favorable to this class
of people. Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that with the assistance
of the military police and all interested citizens and civilians, of
which there are many, and witr. the cooperation of the different
societies of Porto Rico, this danger will be diminished to a very
considerable extent in the near future.

, No arms were sold during the year.
During the year 140 persons committed suicide und 102 attempted
it, which numbers are almost equal to those registered in the previous
year, or 140 suicides and 97 attempts. In most of these cases the
deceased were afflicted with some infirmity and others were due to
jealousy and financial distress.
PROHIBITION AND ITS INFLUENOE.
In accordance with the new Organic Act, prohibition went into
effect in Porto Rico, on March 2, 1918, the difference in the number
of arrests between'this last fiscal year and the previous one is 6,417,
and although there has not been sufficient time to properly estimate the
beneficial results from, the prohibition, there is no doubt in the mind
of -the Insular Police but that prohibition is. one of the most excellent
and most beneficial laws that have ever gone into effect in this Island..
Its influence is being thoroughly felt throughout the Island. There is
every indication and very strong ones, that intoxication, disorderly
('onduct and other similar crimes are lessening due to its influence.
The increased attendance to the cines, churches and night schools
and night lectures is tremendous. The peace and tranquility which
are evidence of sobriety and decency have been extended all over
the Island, and I am positive that the coming year will show plainly
and indicate fully and strongly that prohibition is a substantial, bene-
ficial and moral law.
The following arms were seized during the year:

FIRES.
One hundred and sixty (160) fires occurred in the Island during
the period covered by this report, Said fires caused damages amount-
ing to $903,701 to the following property:
The amount of insurance carried on the above property was
$489,600. Three (3) persons perished during these fires. Cane fires
burned 2,629 cuerdas of plantations and the greater number of these
fires took place during the strike period. (See exhibits'}' E" and
"F. ")
STRIKES.
It seemed that with the entrance of the socialists in the political
contests in the Island and the formation of the Socialist Party, labor
leaders kept very busy with the masses, and their exicited speeches
and written propaganda originated many protests against capitalists
and a series of strikes ensued thr;mghout the tobacco and cane dis-
tricts. Occasionally, the trolley cars and railroad employees, bakers,
longshoremen and other unions sustained strike movements.
During the strike movements the police force acttd quickly, dili-
gently and according with the general circumstances. The Depart-
ment, employing all methods guaranteed by the laws, on several
occasions was forced to disperse diRturbing demonstl-ations and forbid
meetings at the rural sections in places where non-strikers peacefully
worked and seemed afraid of being disturbed by mobs and assailants.
Beginning in July and until December, 1917, the cigar-makers
and other tobacco laborers held strikes at the districts of Cayey,
Comerio, Ponce, Aguas Buenas, Coamo, Gurabo, Manati, San Juan,
Tva Alta, Bayamon, Cidra, Juana Diaz, Mayagiiez, Pefiuelas, San
Lorenzo, Utuado, Caguas, Corozal, Vega Baja, Juncos, Morovis and
Naranjito The cigar-makers struggled for increase in wages and the
women tobacco strippers protested about the poor quality of the leaf
and factory comforts. Their movements ended without any serious
public disturbance and parties finally entered into arrangements.
The peones at the cane centrales and plantations sustained strikes
from January 7 to April 30, 19] 8, at the districts of Barceloneta,

This work has taken up no small part of the time of many mem-
bers of the police force. Since the military registration started, July
5, 1917, most of the detectives and policemen have been engaged in
rounding up slackers and summoning men for appearance before the
magistrate8 of the Federal Court and officials of the registration
boards. In addition to these services, policemen had to give close
observation and attention to aliens and other citizens who showed
dangerous attitude in connection to the present tuitional emergency.
The. cooperation of the Insular Police with the judicial officials
in the investigation and prosecution of spies and aliens gave excellent
results, and I feel proud to state that, in my experience, never so
small a body of officers worked harder and with such patriotic activities
as the Insular Police, during this war epoch. In this respect, as in
many others, the men have demcnstrated extraordinary energy and
intelligence.

tives, five (5) detectives and thirteen (13) third-class
detectives, or a total of 25 men.
The Chief of the Bureau receives a salary of $2,400 per annum,
which is paid from the Miscellaneous Fund, subject to the approval
of the Governor. The other members are paid from the regular
police ,budget.
The operatives of this Bureau, in addition to their regular duties
as a secret-service force, cooperate with the police corps and render
valuable assistance to other branches of the Government, specially to
the judicial and war departments- They collect most useful inform-
ation regarding foreigners, aliens, persons suspected as seditious char-
acters, burglars, prostitutes and fugitives, and their experience about
such persons affords excellent -facilities to their work and that of the
uniformed force.
During fiscal year 1917-18, the members of the Detective Bu-
reau performed the following special services:
Total_____________________________________________ 114
Due to war conditions between the United States and the Germar.
Empire, enforcement of the Selective Law, investig(ijon and regis-
tration of German aliens, most of the activities of the Detective Force
have been dedicated to work related thereto, and the results have
been of much benefit to the public in general, and e.iCcellent informa-
tion was secured.
During the past year detectiveR made 981 arrests for violations of
the law, 825 of which resulted in convictions, 125 were acquittals and
on June 30, 1918, 31 cases were still pending trial. The fines imposed
amounted to $2,376, while the time sentences made a total of 230
years, 6 months and 19 days. The property recovered, including
money, amounted to $10,990.40.
The expenditures for operation of the Bureau for the fiscal year
1917-18 amounted to $14,964.38. distributed as follows:
Patillas, Maunabo, Caguas, Guayama, Arroyo, Rio Grande, Fajardo,
Carolina, Luquillo, Arecibo, Ceiba, Naguabo and Peiiuelas.
These agricultural strikers were subjected to wrong principles and
lead to illegal acts, which, if it had not been for the excellent tact
of the police in managing the situation, would have started seditious
processes and strong opposition to the Government and public welfare.
During the strike of agricultural laborers, many cane fields were
set on fire, which resulted in serious losses to the planters and central
owners. At the railroad line connecting Fajardo Sugar Company of
Fajardo, with their cane plantations at Rio Grande, the strikers
attempted to burn an important railroad bridge, but the flames were
promptly noticed by the mayordomos and only several planks were
destroyed.
On April 17, 1918, at barrio Rata Arriba, Arecibo, another party
placed two dynamite fulruinants over the railroad property of Cen-
tral Cambalache, perhaps with the purpose of blowing the first engine
that would pass the place, and when locomotive No.9, of said Central,
came to that point, the machinist, Vicente Stuard (strike breaker),
noticed the explosion and held back his engine. When he examined
the rails he found the metals of the fulminal!ts and also an anonymous
letter, warning him and other strike-breakers of bombing the bridges,
'engines, etc., if they 'vould not abandon the work. The police and
district attorney investigated the case and warned the mechanics on
strike about the responsibilities in such crimes.
Neverthelesi'>, at the same district and in the premises of the
Cambalache Central, another attempt was made. They took off belts
from the rails, with the purpose of causing collisions of trains and
derailments of Shme. The mischief was also noticed in time and
before it caused any injury.
Due to the progress of the strikes and the necessity of special
vigilance in the cane districts, on January 20, 1918, the department
employed 50 special guardsmen, which were distributed throughout
the strike places. These fifty men served until May 31, 1918, on
which date all strike movements and cane fires had ceased.
During the strike period a good number of persons, most of them
strikers, were arrested for carrying deadly arms, assault and bat-
tery and disturbing the peace, and some of the authors of malicious
fires were also located and prosecuted.

SUPPLEMENTARY REMARKS.
The most important and necessary legislation needed for the In-
sular Police is that of an increase in salary for the Insular Police
officers.
I am positive beyond any doubt that the Insular Police officers
detailed for duty in San Juan, of which there are an average of
160 men, should be paid 20 per cent more than police officers stationed
l-J,t other districts of the Island. It is absurd to pay a police officer
who serves in Barros, Cidra, Barranquitas, San German, Lares or
Adjuntas the same salary of $45 a month compared to the same salary
paid to the police officers in San Juan.
It is needless for me to state that the increased cost of living, the
necessary cleanliness of the police officers in the Capital, the long
and arduous duties before a criticising public, the many details to
Palace, courts and Federal departments demand an excellent-looking
officer, and all of this means expense, and I will take pleasure in sub-
mitting and recommending an increase of salary graded, first, second
and third class, which recommendation I have submitted before in
my previous budget to increase the pay of the police officers in San
Juan.
The work and efficiency of the Insular Police during the war
period up to date has been of such a character as to bring to them
the highest praise in letters from such departments. As for work
performed in -'-he registration of German alien enemies, they were
complimented by the Hon. United States Attorney General Gregory
for their efficiency in this work. They were complimented by the
Hon. Assistant Svcretary of the Navy, Mr. Roosevelt, for their collect-
ing 200 eyes for the Navy, they were complimented highly by the
Chairman of the Food Commission of Porto Rico for their able assist-
ance which they demonstrated along many different lines. The Hon-
orable Judge of the Federal C o u ~ t , in court and also by letter, con-
gratulated them upon their efficiency; the Marshal of the United
States Court, and the judges of the local courts have freely spoken
in admiration of the work of the police officers. They have willingly,
unhesitatingly complied with all duties imposed upDn them and they
were many. I cannot speak too highly of their loyalty and efficiency.
It is a great source of pleasure to me to have the visitors to Porto
Rico invariably comment on the excellent appearance Df the Insular
Police of this Island.
A slight decrease in fines upor. police officers for breach of rules
IS due to a desire of the Chairman of the Insular Police Commission
16
to reduce them to the lowest possible margin, and instead of fines,
which necessarily reduces the food and clothing Df the police officers'
families, to impose upon them loss of leave of absences and giving
them extra work.
The cooperation of the Illsubr Police Commission towards the
Insular Police Department has been of the highest order and their
assistance has been great. Their human'itarian and educational in-
structions and their ideas regarding morality und uprightness of
character has been far reaching in the Department.
Fora strenuous year filled with hard work, I thank and appreciate
the civilian employees of the Police Department who unhesitatingly
and willingly always gave their services whenever desired.
The loss of numerous of our young officers drafted into the Na-
tional Army will, no doubt, sOOIl be felt, but I believe that the situa-
tion will be met by those remaining with continued loyalty and I
have no fear whatever and trust that with the cooperatiDn of the
general public and the inhabitants of Porto Rico, who are on the
whole a peace-loving population and easily ammendable to law and
order, that we will continue successfully as before.
Very respectfully,
GEO. R. SHANTiON,
Major, N. A., D. I. 0.,
Chief, Insular Police.
