LAFOUNT LAUDS POLICE RADIO
Declaring that police radio equipment has passed the experimental stage, Radio Commissioner Harold A, Lafount in a statement September 3 said that it is now recognized as a neces¬ sary adjunct to any well equipped Police Department.
"Practically all of the larger cities have installed radio systems for their police forces", he said, "and in all instances it has been found that such a system is indispensable and is the best method police have of getting information from the stations to the men as they patrol the cities in automobiles.
"During the year 1929 in Detroit, where radio is used by the police, there was a total of 22,598 messages sent out to radio-equipped cars. Of that number, 8,288 were actual emergen¬ cies, and as a result of these messages 1,325 arrests were made, very often the criminal being apprehended at the scene of his crime. The record shows these arrests have been made on an average of less than two minutes each. "
