I have to give Commissioner

didn't have the heart to bother
them with phone calls about the

to know whether the "wilkes"
will be snatched back from Marine and Aviation and reconverted

fishing boat and V.I.P. tug if
he feels the need for one. Meanwhile the tankers in the harbor,
all sitting ducks at anchor, must
present an upsetting picture to
anybody who is fire-minded and
who happens to have a beautiful view of the harbor from

Prom time to time, a police
officer may have to appear in
court as a witness in a criminal
case. The content of his statement is very important. The way
he gives his testimony may
create a favorable or an unfavorable impression in court. He
should be able to talk about the
kind of evidence he has and
where the evidence came from:
otherwise, cross-examination may
confuse him and reduce the value
of what he has to say. If he reviews his facts before testifying,
he will be better prepared to
carry out his assignment —
which is to provide accumte information in such a way that its
meaning will be understood by
the court.

(D) How he gives his testimony is more important
than what he says.

According to a report on police
corruption, some police officers
collected "pad" payments on a
regular basis. These were bribes
from people whose businesses
would have suffered if they or
their customers had received
parking tickets. For example,
some bar owners paid the police
to allow their customers to
double- or triple-park without
being ticketed. Pay-offs were
made by construction companies
and businesses which made pickups and deliveries in crowded
areas. Some small companies
used unlicensed drivers during
rush seasons and wanted to make
sure that the police did not
bother them. Police corruption
also took the form of "scores."
"Scores" were one-time payments
to police officers to overlook moving traffic violations. Taxi drivers, truck drivers, and other motorists whose livelihoods depended on having a driver's license
were often willing to make such
payments.
73. On the basis of the information given above, which of
the following statements is
correct?
^ ^ ^ Police corruption was
^ ^ ^ supported by law-breaking citizens.
(B) In general, "pad" payments
involved
less
money than "scores."
(C) The police should have
overlooked minor violaations.
<D) Taxi drivers were more
likely than businessmen
to bribe police officers.
74. According to the passage,
"pad" payments and "scores"
both involved
(A) unlicensed drivers.
(B) pay-offs
which
were
^ ^ made on a regular basis.
police officers who were
willing to be bribed.
(D) seasonal city traffic conditions.
As a rule, police officers arriving at the scene of an automobile
accident should first care for victims who need immediate medical treatment. If necessary, the
officers should ask bystanders to
help warn approaching cars and
keep traffic moving. People should
be kept out of traffic lanes and
at a safe distance from the
damaged cars. This will help to
avoid additional accidents at
the scene, and will allow faster
movement of emergency vehicles.
Such action will also protect any
evidence which might be important later.
75. Among the following actions
that police officers might take
at the scene of an accident,
which one should be taken
I m ^ Warn approaching cars of
the accident.
(B) Keep
the
bystanders
moving.
(C) Find out which driver
was responsible for the
accident.
<D) Get the license plate
numbers of the cars involved.
76.Tlie first thing that police
officers should do when they
get to the scene of an acciis to
S
take care of the injured
who
need
immediate
help.
(B) ask for the help of bystanders.
(C) warn oncoming cars and
keep traffic moving.
(D) protect evidence which
shows how the accident
happened.
77. An important reason for
keeping people out of the traffic lanes is to
^ ^ allow ambulances to get
through.
(B) allow photographers to
get a picture of the accident.
(C) keep crowds from forming.
(D) keep souvenir hunters
away from the scene.
Many factors must be considered when a police officer is deciding whether or not to make
an arrest. If an arrest is not considered legal, it could mean that
some evidence will not be allowed in court. At other times, an
arrest may tip off a suspect
before evidence can be found. In
all cases, an arrest takes away
from a person the very important right to liberty. It is very
upsetting to a person, causing
him worry and possibly loss of
money. On the other hand, an
officer must also realize that if
an arrest is delayed too long,
the suspect may run away or
the evidence may be destroyed.
78. A judge may refuse to accept
evidence of a crime if
(A) it interfered with the
suspect's right to liberty.
(B) it was found after the
suspect was tipi>ed ofT.
(C) the suspect was able to
get away.
©
it was collected during
an illegal arrest.
79. In deciding whether to make
an arrest, a police officer
should
(A) consider whether the suspect is a known criminal,
realize that an innocent
person could be very upset by being arrested.
(C) not delay since evidence
can be found later.
<D) not worry about the innocent person because the
courts will free him.

The sergeant in command of a
team of police officers on special
assignment gave extra instructions only to the inexperienced
officers in the group. Each of
the experienced officers was to
guard ore of the four exits from
a building, while the sergeant led
the remaining three men through
the front door.
80. The plan to be followed
^ ^ required the participation
of all members of the
team.
(B) is standard
operating
procedure.
<C) was known only to the
experienced police officers.
<D) did not require the sergeant to take part.

Fire lieutenants' salaries would

The new "attack units" proposed by Fire
Commissioner

M
A
BRAHAM Beame scored a lot of points with civil service
workers on his first day as Mayor of New York City
when he issued an executive order reinstating the rule that
appointments and promotions be made in strict order-ofrank from eligible lists.
The City's 104th Mayor went to the top of the list with
his s t a t e m e n t that the Merit System must be preserved from
favoritism and unjust discrimination.
The order that eligibles be named in precise sequence
as they placed in competitive examinations should ease the
suspicion that surrounds, rightly or wrongly, the option of
choosing from among the three top available candidates.
Under the o n e - i n - t h r e e rule, it is possible for the two top
scorers to be indefinitely bypassed.
The state, however, stll retains the o n e - i n - t h r e e rule.
As recently as last November, Theodore C. Wenzl, president of the Civil Service Employees Assn., testified before
the State Senate Standing Committee on Civil Service
and Pensions:
"It is the feeling of our Association that appointments
from a certified eligible list should be made in strict rank
order, which would eliminate the inequity of an employee
with a lower final score on a promotional examination being
promoted, while an employee with a higher final score is
given no reason why he was not selected for promotion.
An a m e n d m e n t to the Civil Service Law, such as I am
proposing here, would eliminate the frustrating and demoralizing aspects of the present procedure and enhance
the concept of the Merit System in the eyes of all concerned
parties."
It would seem, then, that Dr. Wenzl is right on the
Beame.
Job-Related Test
T
HE City of New York, with its police officer exam,
managed to produce an unquestionably job-related test
— a feat of no small importance to a City that in the past
has been unable to defend its exams in the courts against
charges of discrimination and^ irrelevance.
To construct a valid test for police candidates was
the City's highest priority. And, if anything, the general
reaction was t h a t the test was "too easy."
That the exam was not controversial in terms of content is commendable. But this is not to say that if a c a n didates scores 100 he will be a good cop.
On the other hand, when you have 54,000 citizens who
want a job, you have to distinguish them somehow —
especially when you have only 10,000 positions to fill.
We wonder where the City — and the civil service
system — is going. Did the City sacrifice anything with
this exam? Will those appointed to the Police Department
be of lower calibre t h a n present employees?
If an exceptionally high percentage of those who took
the test pass it, it would seem the selection process lacked
discretion.
The City was under pressure to insure that this exam
would give an equal opportunity to blacks. Hispanics and
women who wanted to join the Police Dept. With that pressure off for the moment, the City h a s a breathing spell during which it can evaluate its testing procedure. As we have
Indicated previously, it may be that no written exam can
adequately test the skills required for any sensitive position. We hope t h e City will be honest and candid as it
evaluates apointees from this exam, and will shape its
future e x a m s accordingly.
(Continued from Page 1)
Assemblymen ( greater voice in
committee deliberations and in
floor debates.
It is a measure of the Speaker's confidence in his ability to
run a smooth Assembly operation
that he is prepared to open up
the legislative process at a time
when his majority control Is so
slender. There are 81 Repubhcans in the Assembly, just five
more than the 76 votes needed
to pass a bill. This means ihat
on a sharply divided issue, there
will be very few votes that the
Republican leadership can spare.
Reform Rules
On the other hand, Speaker
Duryea is sensitive to the dissatisfaction and frustration of many
Assemblymen, both Republican
and Democrats, over a feeling
that they are powerless and
voiceless under a procedure tliat
is governed by the leadership
operating through the Rules
Committee. Moreover, Assemblymen have become increasingly
resentful over the life and deatn
control of committee chainnen
over the bills they introduce.
Under reform rules that Speaker Duryea will propose, Assembly committees will be required
to hold public hearings on most
bills referred for their consideration. Committees will be required to hold open rather than
closed meetings when they decide to report or kill a bill. Thi.s
means that the public and the
press will be permitted to attend
all committee meetings. In addition, the committees will be required to maintain records of
the votes of each member on
every bill pending before the

Studies made by academicians
and foundations on the perfonnance of legislative bodies in a:)
50 states universally give the
New York Assembly high grades
for performance and praise
Speaker Duryea for the quality
of his leadership. The new, open
procedure planned by the Speaker is likely to enhance the stature of the Assembly and of
the Speaker in the eyes of the
professionals who study the legislative process in an objective
and nonpartisan manner.
Demonstrated Leadership
A command pilot in the Naval
Air Transport Service in the
Pacific theatre during Wcrld
War II, Speaker Duryea demonstrated his leadership qualities
early in his public career, when,
after only six years In the Assembly he was 'elected Minority
Leader by his colleagues. Duryea,
who walks with the grace of a
trained athlete, has visited every
corner of the State In behalf of
Republican candidates for publb
office and Is expected by his admirers to be the Governor some
day.
Whether he will try for that
office this year Is an option ^hat
Duryea i£ leaving open. This will
give Qovernor Malcolm Wilson
an opportunity to occupy stage
center during his first time In
dealing with the Legislature.
Many Republican leaders believe that Duryea will not contest
Wilson for the nomination tnis
year In order to avoid a bixiLsIng primary fight that might

No Contract,
No
Arbitration
The Dutchess County Supreme Court has decided that
an expired collective bargaining agreement between a board
of education and a teachers' association would not support
a claim for arbitration of grievances because there was no
longer an agreement to arbitrate. The lapsed agreement
contained a provision for compulsory and binding arbitration as the terminal step in the grievance procedure.
The board of education and the teachers' association
entered into an agreement pursuant to the Taylor Law
which was to run from July 1, 1970, to June 30, 1972. Among
other things, the agreement provided t h a t teachers' grievances would be handled in a four-step procedure, the final
stage of which was compulsory arbitration. The parties commenced negotiations for a new agreement to begin July 1.
1972. However, they were unable to agree upon the terms
of the new agreement, and the existing contract ran its
stated course.
«
«
«
IN DECEMBER 1972, the association filed a grievance
over what it claimed was excessive size of 10 classes in the
sixth grade. The grievance proceeded through the various
stages provided in the expired contract through the third
stage, which was an appeal to the board of education.
In its decision on Feb. 8, 1973, the board stated that
since the collective bargaining agreement upon which the
teachers relied expired on June 30, 1972, and since the
claims arose more than six months after that expiration
date, "there is no foundation, either procedurally, or substantively, for the procedure followed by the grievants for
the relief which is sought. Accordingly, the claims are
dismissed."
A few days later, on Feb. 20. the association submitted
its demand for arbitration, and the board of education proceeded in the Supreme Court for a stay pursuant to Article
75 of the CPLR.
The court goes into considerable detail describing the
legislative intent set forth in the Taylor Law, indicating
the elaborate and involved procedures which are available
in the event of impasses which arise as a result of negotiations.
THE COURT FURTHER points out t h a t section 201(12)
of the Taylor Law defines the term "agreement" as the
"result of the exchange of mutual promises between the
chief executive officer and an employee organization which
becomes a binding contract, for the period set forth
therein . .
The court pointed out that the words which are
emphasized would be superfluous if they had not been
employed in a considered way in order to limit public collective bargaining agreements to the periods of their stated
terms.
The court, therefore, granted the Board of Education's
application for a stay of arbitration holding, "Article 14
of the Civil Service Law was well conceived as a device to
put public employment disputes to rest. To declare that an
agreement continues beyond its stated expiration date,
would run counter to the plan and upset the balance between public employers and employees which has been established by the statute. It is concluded t h a t there was no
agreement in effect between the parties at the time when
the grievance procedures were initiated."
*
*
«
THIS COURT IS SAYING that a violation of the terms
of an expired contract cannot be grieved while there is no
new contract in effect, even though the old contract had a
grievance procedure with binding arbitration. Its decision
seems impossible to reconcile with the PERB decision in
the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority
case cited at
5 PERB 3037, in which it was held that the employer c a n not make unilateral changes in terms and conditions of employment during collective negotiations.
This decision rather than following the intention of the
Act in creating and maintaining harmonious relationships
between the public employer and its public employees would
seem to do just the opposite and leave a clear road open
for a public employer to change terms and conditions of
employment when there is an inability or some great problem in reaching an agreement on a new contract.

Beame Order Kills
1-ln-3 Hiring Code:
It's Bacl( To Merit
In one of his first official
acts as Mayor, Abraham
Beame fulfilled a campaign
promise by eliminating the
controversial "one-in-three"
practice instituted by the
Lindsay
administration.
The "one-in-three"
rule
allowed
heads
of
city
agencies to appoint to a civil
service job any one of the
top three candidates on a
list resulting from a civil
service test.
Executive Order No. 4, issued
Jan. 1 from City Hall, requires
commissioners to take only the
top person, and eliminates the
previous option in order to "preserve the Civil Service merit system and to avoid favoritism and
improper and unjust discrimination."
The order applies only to New
York City civil service. The onein-three practice will continue
in New York State jobs.
Mr. Lindsay had initiated the
practice to give commissioners
greater "flexibility," yet critics
saw it as a route around the
Merit System. That system maintains that a citizen who passes
a civil service exam should be
appointed in rank order of his
standing on the eligible list resulting from the exam; that is,
on his merit.
The one-in-three rule may be
invoked, according to the executive order, only with the Mayor's
written approval after a commissioner has proven "good and
sufficient" cause for so doing.
Executive Order No. 4 state.s:
"In order to carry out and
protect the principles which underlie the provisions of Article
V, section 6 of the Constitution,
to preserve the Civil Service
merit system and to avoid favoritism and improper and unjust
discrimination, all heads of City
agencies are hereby directed to
make appointments and promotions from eligible lists promulgated after competitive examinations only in the order in which
the names of available candidates
appear upon such eligible list,
except with the written approval of the Mayor upon good and
sufficient cause being shown."

Talking about fireboats, on
December 23, 1913 at 3:25 p.m.
the Pireboat Duane responded
to an alarm from its berth at
the foot of West 42nd Street.
Old Manhattan Box 736 at West
End Avenue and 98th Street was
"in" but this one was a little
diflerent. At 3:56 p.m. the Duane
was back at berth having been
notified by telegraph that the
box was a false alarm. The
officer in command was Lieutenant Meenan who received a
congratulatory
message from
Commissioner Joseph Johnson.
Said Lt. Meenan in reply: "The
wireless idea is excellent and
will save the burning of vast
amounts of fuel in useless runs."
The idea had to be given up
eventually because not enough
full-time telegraphers could be
found to man each boat around
the clock. First, telephones were
placed at the end of certain
piers where boats en route would
check in by phone with the dispatcher thus giving rise to the
teiTO "call me on the land line"
which one still hears today from
time to time. The next big
step was the introduction of
radio communications.
The rest is history. Sometimes after a shake of the head,
one wonders how on earth we
ever did without radio. However, looking at the towerladders
and the Super Pumper system
etc., I think of the days when we
thought motortzed steamers and
Christy front drive ladder trucks
were the cats whiskers but then
comes the true wonderment . . .
they put out fires with them?
Well, they dropped in their tracks

Before John Lindsay left office
he allowed four bills granting
increases for accident disability
to certain police and fire retirees
to become law without his signature.
The final day for the Mayor
to take action on these bills
flntro. No. 1367. 1368, 1369 and
1370) was Dec. 27.
Commenting on this uncustomary action, Mr. Lindsay said:
"As a matter of principle, because I believe that pensions
should be increased by supplementation geared to cost-of-living indices and not by changing
the base rate, I cannot sign
these bills. I am, however, particularly convinced that these
bills will provide a sorely-needed benefit to the retirees covered by the legislation, who exist
on a fixed and limited Income.
I am, therefore, permitting the
bills to become law without my
signature."
The retirement benefit awarded to police and fire retirees who
were required to retire as a result of line of duty disabilities,
will now equal three-fourths of
the salary of a first grade patrolman or fireman, as of July 1,
1965. This is consistent with retirement benefits allowed to all
disability retirees In the police
and fire pension system.

In a sharp reaction, CBEA vicepresident William McQowan, the
Association's highest ranking officer employed by Mental Hygiene, commented;
"I strongly resent Senator
Padavan's charges, which reflect
unjustly not only on loyal employees at Creedmoor, but also
on dedicated employees at other
institutions ttu'oughout the state.
"It Is unfortxmate for the
senator to choose this way to
build his image in the media at
the expense of Innocent people.
"If he has any proof, he should
give it to the district attorney,
and not resort to sensationalism
in the press.
"Our employees at state institutions are excellent and hardworking people, often doing faf'
beyond what they are being paid

per."
Dr. WilUam Werner, Creedmoor's director, acknowledged

percent for rapes, assaults, and
homicides. However, larcenies,
robberies, and burglaries decreased. and the overall rate for

Police Officers Margaret Firestone and Harry Davis are partners on patrol. They see a man
lying on his back on the southwest corner of Second Avenue
and Sixth Street. Officer Firestone leaves the patrol car to
look at him more closely. The
man is dressed in clean clothes
and seems to have stopped
breathing. Officer Firestone bends
over him. makes a quick inspection, and tells Officer Davis to
send for an ambulance. She begins to administer mouth-tomouth resuscitation. At this point
the man becomes fully conscious
and states that this has happened before. He insists that all he
needs is a glass of water. He
does not want to go to the hospital. nor does he want to be
driven home. Officer Davis gets
a glass of water for the man from
a nearby store. The man refuses to give his name and will
not wait for the ambulance. He
drinks the water, thanks the officers for their help, and walks
north on Second where he disappears from view.

At approximately 5:00 P.M. on
a foggy, rainy afternoon, Police
Officer Ressa arrived at the scene
of an accident a few minutes
after it occurred. On the basis of
his own observations, and from
the statements of the persons
involved in the accident, he decided that the accident happened this way: Mr. Goldsmith was
driving his car east on Tenth
Street. Tenth is a straight, oneway street which runs downhill
as one goes from west to east.
At the intersection of Tenth
Street and Pacific Avenue, Mr.
Goldsmith came to a full stop
for a red light. When the light
turned green, he started downhill and immediately struck Mr.
Bates, a forty-three-year old high
school teacher who was jogging
north on Pacific. Mr. Bates was
not seriously injured, and admitted that he had been careless in
crossing the intersection.

Leader Analysis Of Police Exam
By K A T H A R I N E
SEELYE
Since most of the questions from the second half
of the police officer exam had
mathematical or factual answers based on diagrams,
The Leader analysis is limited this week to three questions which may be protested.
Last week, in the edition of
Jan. 1, The Leader discussed five
of the judgmental questions and
possible approaches for protesting the proposed correct answers.
From our readers' responses so
far. it appears that four of those
questions, nos. 26. 37. 50 and
55. will be protested by several
candidates.
Added support for protesting
nos. 26 and 37 was discovered in
an unofficial answer sheet circulated in the Police Academy prior
to the release of the answers by
the City. Police officers who made
up the answer sheet indicated
either C or D might be correct
for no. 26. and either A or D
might be correct for no. 37. No
analysis accompanied those answers.
Also on that answer sheet no.
85 had two answers, and fiese
are discussed below.
Candidates are reminded that
instead of arguing for a change
in an answer they may call for
the deletion of an entire question. This might apply to a question such as no. 50 where the obvious approach — question the
employee — was not listed among
the answers.
Questions 56 through 100 are
reprinted in this issue of The
Leader, beginning on Page 4, and
the proposed key answers are
listed again this week, on this
page. Questions 1 through 55 appeared in the Jan. 1 edition,
however nos. 6 through 15 were
not reprinted since they were
a simple matter of matching
photographs.
In answer to some readers who
either called or wrote that they
were puzzled by the protest pro-
cess. three points should be
made. First, if the challenge to
an answer is upheld, the Department of Personnel's original
answer still holds; the other answer is simply added as another
correct choice. Thus, no one's
score will go down as the result
of a protest.
Second, there is no penalty
for submitting a protest which
Personnel deems unsubstantial.
All the candidate stands to lose
Ls a point for the question he
got wrong anyway.
And third, some candidates
apparently believe they need
legal assistance in order to submit a protest. While this is a
common practice for candidates
taking promotional exams, especially in the uniformed services, it is quite rare and totally unnecessary at the entrance
level.
In submitting a protest, the
candidate need only describe, as
best he can. what he was thinking when he chose the answer
he did. Since this was an entrance level exam and the candidate presumably had no police
training. any knowledge of
police policy or of the penal code
should have been Incidental. The
exam purported to test the candidate's judgment, his ability to
reason and to work out basic
mathematical problems.
Following is the analysis of
questions 72. 85 and 96. The Leader welcomes comment from test
takers and others interested in
the test. Protests must be submitted to the City by Jan. 18.
• 72. The
question
asks
which answer may be inferred
(emphasis added) from the paragraph. According to Webster's,
one infers from something implied and not directly stated.
Although this question was not
under the word meaning category. test takers can only assume
that the construction of the sentence was Intentional. Therefore,
the proposed correct answer. B.
would appear to bo weakened
because that option is explicitly
stated in the paragraph, and
no inference is required. It would
seem from the paragraph that
either A or C may be inferred:
clearly it is important for the
officer to know the facts; and
what he says, assuming he
wouldn't be there if he had
nothing to say. should make the
case stronger, either for or
against the defendant.
• 85. This question had twf
EMJsslble answers — A or C —
on the unofficial sheet circulated
(with no analysis) in the Police
Academy. The paragraph says
four of the seven major crimcs
increased, and rapes, assaults
and homicides. Increased more
than 10 percent. Three other
types, larcenies, robberies and
burglaries, decreased. And auto
theft was the seventh major
type. Clearly auto theft was included among the crimes thit
Increased. Presumably since auto
theft was not mentioned with
the others as having Increased
more than 10 percent. It increased less than 10 percent.
That is, however, only an assumption, albeit logical, and it
may be that auto thefts did in
fact Increase more than 10 percent. and. Indeed, could have Increased more than 20 percent or
30 percent. This is apparently
the reasoning behind C: that
auto theft was not specifically
mentioned as not having Increased more than 10 percent.
The reader knows only that auto
theft Increased; he does not
know by how much. And as ore
police officer advised: never assume anything.
• 96. The paragraph says:
"When the light turned green.
(Goldsmith)
started
downhill
and immediately struck Mr.
Bates." Goldsmith was starting
from a full stop at the red light.
The proposed correct answer, C,
indicates nothing about Goldsmith's speed, only his direction,
and "going straight
ahead"
would imply, if anything, some
degree of momentum, some testtakers have argued. "Starting
from Parking." answer A. gives
a more precise description of
Goldsmith's speed and his possible Impact on Bates whom he had
struck immediately. The test failed to distinguished "Parking"
as either the gear in which the
car was set at the red light or
a parking space. Nonetheless, it
does suggest a full-stopp»ed ix)sltlon, and this was the position
from which Goldsmith was starting. and since he struck Bates
immediately, that he was just
starting is Important.
Protest
Instructions
Protests to the proDOsed
key answers for the police
officer exam must be submitted to the city by Jan. 18.
The protest against each
question must be written on
a separate sheet of paper,
with the evidence
upon
which the protest is based,
and each sheet must include
the candidate's signature
and address.
All protests may be mailed In
one envelope to: the Dept. of
Personnel, 55 Thomas St., New
York, N.Y. 10013. The lower left
corner of the envelope should
say: "Key Protest, Exam 3014.
Patrolman-Policewoman."
The Dept. of Personnel will release "final key answers" after
considering the protests. A department spokesman said there
was no way of knowing when
the finay keys would be released
since it depends on how many
protests are registered. The
Leader will print the final answers when they are available.
The list of successful candidates
— the eligible list — may be
ready for hiring purposes by
early summer, once proposed
answers are finalized and all
54,000 test papers are corrected

Future retirees can build up
a substantial amount of cash
payable upon retirement (or
leave) from the government.
For example, suppose an employee has 30 days of annual
leave which he plans to carry
over into 1974. He plans to retire (or leave the government)
during this year, and his annual
leave will be worth $10 per hour.
During 1974, the employee will
earn an additional 26 days of annual leave If he does not take
any vacation.
Under the new law, this worker will be entitled to a lump sum
payment for the 30 days (240
hours) of leave carried over
from 1973 to 1974 plus 26 days
(208 hours) earned but not used
during the year.
Thus, when he retires, that
leave will be worth at least $4,480
to the $10-an-hour employee. He

ator Padavan look to his own
house before attacking others."
The mental hospital has some
50 buildings on 238 acres in
Queens Village, and it is freely
open to public access. The hospital with a staff of 2,700 employees has a case load of 2,200
in-patients, and 5,000 out-patients and day-patients handled
at 30 clinics in the community.
The security force numbers 23
persons to protect the hospital
and grounds on a full-time basis.
The grounds are also on the
patrol route of the New York
City Police Department.
Senator Padavan said the hospital must depend primarily on
its regular security staff, and
said, "No more than four or
five guards are on duty at any
one shift."
In his letter to Dr. Miller, he
stated: "A minimum of 50 security guards is essential. The
additional cost would be more
than offset by the savings in
equipment, food and supplies being carried out of Creedmoor
on a regular basis."
Terry Dawson, president of the
Creedmoor chapter, CSEA, and
thus directly concerned with the
situation, said:
"I feel we have the best employes. Creedmoor is a big area,
and we can't be held responsible for outsiders who can roam
the grounds at any hour. I think
the employees are being victimized by them.
"We have repeatedly asked for
more security, but we are told
there is a budget freeze and so
on. We certainly need an expanded security force and this has
been one of our proposals in
negotiations. We'd like to see
roving patrols at night.
"We also want more lights.
It is too dark at night. And
some system of control must be
set up for visitors.
"If Senator Padavan wants to
help us he should harass the
legislature for more money to
beef up the security force."
Also at Creedmoor, Dorothy
King, CSEA board member for
Mental Health, advised: "There
ought to be identification cards
