Atlanta Wants More
Negro Cops
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlas)— Mayor
Hartsfield last week ordered Police
Chief Herbert Jenkins to put on
more police, and to bring the Negro
compliment of Atlanta’s police force
up to full strength.
At the same time, the Mayor said
that he would seek an increase in
the number of Negro policemen in
the 1950 city budget. ‘‘These men,”
said the mayor, “have done excel
lent service for Atlanta in the few
months they have been on our
force, and even our severest critics
now agree they have been the cause
of a material reduction of crime of
all kinds in the Negro sections of
our city.”
At the present time, the authoriz
ed strength is eight Negro officers,
but actually only five are on duty.
Two of the eight have submitted
their resignations, and a third has a
broken arm received in the line of
duty.
