Meeting with Mayor Richard J. Daley recently was four­ year-old John Goldthwaite III, who was named the Heart Prince for the 1972 Chicago Heart Fund Campaign . Ac­ companying him was James J . Condon, general chairman for this year's drive. The Oak Park youngster was born with a heart defect that made it unlikely he would live more than three years. After several operations and open heart surgery, his congenital defect was completely corrected . A few years ago, it would have cost John his life. The meeting with the Mayor was on the occasion of his signing a proclamation naming Heart Month in Chicago.

He said he plans to become Director of Field Op­ erations for the Chicago office of Burns International Security Services, Inc . He was appointed to the Chicago Po­ lice Department in 1946, promoted to

sergeant in 1954 and to lieutenant in 1961. In 1965 he was promoted to cap­ tain and deputy chief of the Patrol Division . Deputy Chief Lynskey is a graduate of St. Ignatius High School, the South­ ern Police Institute in Louisville, Ky., and Northwestern University Traffic Institute. During World War II and the Korean War he served in the U.S. Army, receiving a battlefield commis­ sion and two bronze stars.

Deputy Chief Leonard Retires APTER 33 YEARS of dedicated service to the Chicago Police Department, Deputy Chief John Leonard retired, effective 1 March 1972. He had held the post of Administrative Deputy Chief of the Pa­ trol Division since December 1961. During his · career with the Depart­ ment Deputy Chief Leonard also served as Director of the former Internal In­ vestigation Division, now the Internal Affairs Division, and as the Depart­ ment Advocate .

THE HIGHEST AWARD of the U .S. Secret Service was presented to the Chicago Police Department for "superior as­ sistance" in protecting the President and Vice President of the United States. The award presentation was made to Superintendent James B. Conlisk, Jr., at Police Headquarters recently by John Hanly, Special Agent in Chicago of the Secret Service's Chicago office. In a letter accompanying the award, James J. Rowley, Director of the Secret Service, specifically commended the Chicago Police for the "exemplary man­ ner in which they carried out assign­ ments" during the visits to Chicago last Nov. 9, 1971, of President Nixon and Vice President Agnew. Director Rowley said the Department was receiving the "Director's Honor Award" for "outstanding cooperation in connection with the protective re­ sponsibilities of the U .S. Secret Service." In making the presentation, Mr. Han­ ly said that during the November 9th presidential and vice presidential visits, the Chicago Police performed "one of the finest professional jobs of crowd control and general all-around police work that I have seen." He added that he has observed police departments throughout the United States, Europe, South America and the Far East. The Chicago Police Department, he said, has the best training, equipment and leadership. Superintendent Conlisk expressed his appreciation to the Secret Service and said he was accepting the award on be­ half of all the men and women of the Department.

On his last day of work, Deputy Chief John L eonard greets his son, Prob . Ptlmn. Patrick Leonard.

Working Zone 7, from left, are Dispatchers Robert Howard, Thomas Groark and Russ Carroll. At far right is Dispatcher Ralph Pert ell.

THE DISPATCHERS - who receive tele­ phone calls from citizens dialing PO 5­ 1313 and dispatch beat cars to give vari­ ous types of police service-are the high-powered basic ingredients of the world's most sophisticated police Com­ munications Center. If the beat patrolman can be said to be the backbone of the Chicago Police Department, then the dispatchers surely 4

comprise a great portion of the nerve center of that backbone. The Communications Operations Sec­ tion is a unit of the Bureau of Technical Services under the command of Deputy Superintendent John D. Mad!. The Communications Division in its entirety under the direction of Director William Miller. The Section itself-the Com­ munications Center- is commanded by

Captain Merlin J. Nygren. There are 228 patrolmen who have achieved dispatchers rating in the Sec­ tion. In addition to these, there are 15 patrolmen who are presently in training to be dispatchers. This is an appropriate time to talk about police dispatchers because there will soon be an expansion and change­ over from eight zones to 11 and a need

for 42 additional dispatchers. The Sec­ tion has begun its recruiting. Dispatchers- to be effective-must possess several qualities. They need ade­ quate on-the-street police experience to work fast and coordinate the efforts of many units. Their decision-making stems from experience and must be al­ most reflex action. Success in the unit, according to one dispatcher, "depends on how well you get along with your fellow man." The men enjoy the work because they are continuously involved, throughout their tour of duty. It never gets dull. A great satisfaction comes from assisting the citizens of Chicago. Calls for service are the most numer­ ous between 4 p.m. and midnight, in­ crease on that watch on weekends, and reach tremendous peaks during the hot summer months when the greatest num­ ber of people are on the streets. Addi­ tional men are assigned to peak work­ load hours. These special shifts are called the "power watches." At each zone there is a computer in­ quiry terminal, electronically linked to information storage disks of the com­ puter operated by the Data Processing Division. When an officer in the field radios for information regarding a vehicle or person , the dispatcher types the de­ scription supplied by the officer on the terminal's keyboard. The computer processes the inquiry message and flash­ es a reply on the terminal screen which is relayed to the officer. A dispatcher is the first policeman that citizens contact as they call PO 5­ 1313. He must complete that call as soon as possible, ready for the next in­ coming call. In seconds, the officer gets the citizen 's name and add ress and sometimes his telephone number and ascertain s what the problem is and if it is a matter for police service. (How­ ever, the citizen does not have to give his name if he does not wish to do so.) Thus far this year, the Communica­ tions Center has received an average of 8,500 to 9,000 calls daily. (During 1971, some 3,890,921 calls were received for a daily average of 10,660). On the weekends, they get more than J 0,000 per day. While three men normally handle a zone console, there are four men on the 3-11 power shift. Often just two men can handle a zone on the midnight watch during the wee hours of the morning.

Dispatchers, Continued ...

Dispatcher Tom Reid has been a policeman for 25 years and a dispatcher for 11 years.

In the Communications Center, there are zone consoles that control the movement of beat officers assigned within a given zone. Other consoles are city wide, providing communication with Traffic, Investigators, Special Op­ erations Group and Youth Officers. There are alternate city-wide chan­ nels for emergencies and special events. Also included are consoles and desks for point-to-point communication out­ side the city, for handling overload caI1s and for general supervision. All of the consoles and desks are interconnected so that dispatchers and supervisors can talk directly to other consoles.

The Star magazine "plugged in" to zone consoles and listened to zone dis­ patchers answering calls and making as­ signments during part of one morning and for seven hours one Friday night. The variety of calls handled, the pa­ tience of the dispatchers and the speed of dealing with distressed citizens and in turn sending out beat cars to help them were eye openers. Dispatchers have talked people out of committing suicide, have coordinated chases from one zone to the next and often obtained enough information about a crime just committed so that beat officers were able to apprehend

the suspects almost immediately. Although not involved in physical ar­ rests, the dispatchers have been cited by the field forces and recommended for Department commendations many times as a result of their expertise. One late-night caller described a rob­ bery in progress on an upper floor that she could see, but that could not be seen from the street. The dispatcher kept her on the phone while a beat car went to the location. The patrolmen could not see anything at first, but, through the dispatcher, the woman de­ scribed just where to go and the officers apprehended the offenders In the midst of the robbery. •

Crossing Guard Helen Satriano is on the job at 115th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue.

Charm School for District Girls HELEN SATRIANO is a Crossing Guard at ll5th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue and a good one, at that. She has served in this capacity for almost ten years. But Mrs. Satriano's interest in her community and her district has gone far beyond that. With the aid and spon­ sorship of the 5th (Kensington) Dis­ trict Neighborhood Relations personnel, she has organized and already held three three-month charm school courses for teenage girls of the district. One day well over a year ago, Mrs. Satriano looked around and discovered there were no organized activities for girls in the district. She talked it over with Neighborhood Relations Sgt. Sven Johnson and came up with the idea for a charm school. A former Patricia Stevens model and the mother of five children- three mar­ ried, two still at home-Mrs. Satriano went ahead with the project with full approval of her husband. She has de­ voted many hours, all her own time. The first charm school class could have numbered well over 100. such was the enthusiasm, but there simply were not enough facilities, especially for the first time. Thus Mrs. Satriano graduated 27 teenage girls in the first three-month course. She was assisted by Miss Joyce Ad­ ducci of the Finance Division, who also lives in the 5th District. Miss Adducci acted as a second instructor, she was commentator for the graduation cere­ monies and performed many secretarial duties for the project. At the close of the course, they held

a formal graduation ceremony with a talent show where the girls could dis­ play many abilities in addition to their modeling adroitness. The charm school includes such topics as proper grooming techniques, personal hygiene , makeup techniques, how to walk, sit, and stand as well as good manners and personality develop­ ment. Fifteen pre-teen girls were graduated from a course in January and 50 teen­ agers completed a course in February. Now Mrs. Satriano plans to hold the three-month course once a year, begin­ ning in September, but split in two groups, pre-teens and teens. Mrs. Satriano also envisions a club for teenage girls of the district, a group girls can join after the charm school or

even if they haven't attended the charin school. The response has been over­ whelming. The attractive Crossing Guard be­ lieves such a club could help the needy, visit hospitals and nursing homes at holidays and possibly take educational tours. Mrs. Satriano emphasized that none of these activities would be possible without the willing cooperation of Sgt. Johnson and his staff. As for the girls, Mrs. Satriano be­ lieves the course has helped to break down barriers among girls of varying backgrounds. And they have a place to meet-the police station-and some­ thing worthwhile to do. That is Helen Satriano's rewardtheir youthful appreciation. •

At the charm school graduation ceremonies, Mrs. Satriano, left, speaks to parents in the audience. Beside her is Miss ,Joyce Adducci, her assistant and commissioner for the program. B ehind them, Sgt. Sven Johnson of the 5th District was also present.

HAYMARK ET STATUE MOVED

Easy does it as the 9'1" statue is moved into place.

S

THE POLICE STATUE commemorating the seven Chicago police officers who were killed in the Haymarket Riot of 1886 was moved to the lobby of the Chicago Police Department Headquarters build­ ing, I 12 1 S. State St. The statue was formerl y located at 700 W . Randolph St. , a few feet east of the Kennedy Expressway. Moving the statue to the lobby of Police Head­ quarters is appropriate, Supt James B. Conlisk , Jr. said, because it will enable the statue to be viewed by the thousands of school children and other visitors who tour Headquarters each year. The 9' I " statue was designed by Frank Batchelder of St. Paul , Minn. in 1889. A famous sculptor of the da y, Johannes Gelert of New York City, was named to make the statue. It was dedicated in May, 1889, in the center of the street at Randolph and Des Plaines Streets before a crowd of 20,000 people. The monument was moved to the west side of Ogden at Randolph Streets in Union Park in the early 1900's. In 1928, it was moved into Union Park on Washington Bouleva rd on the north side of the dri ve . In 1958 it was again moved to its most recent loca tion at 700 W. Ran­ dolph St., only 200 feet from the orig­ inal location . •

Daily, Chicago school children view the statue.
