By Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie Springfield, III.--1 read about 10 newspapers a day, in addition to dozens and dozens of letters, memos and reports. My reading tends to supplement and confirm what people tell me in person--hundreds of them every week. j . As an experienced reader. I was. deeply struck just this week by the coincidence of five stories involv­ ing policemen in a single issue of a single newspaper. None was a big headline story--but taken together, they tell much of the full story of our law enforcement men. I have called policemen "t h e front-line soldiers of the safe and lawful society we all seek." They are that--but there's more to be told. Consider the five news stories: --Policemen help to dress two neglected little boys and take them to a foster home after rushing their little sister to a hospital. --Policeman seizes a knife- wielding robber without in­ juring him. Twenty policemen wait out a crazed and armed man who threat­ ened violence and refused to listen to his family. Again, the man was not injured, despite the heavy weapons the policemen had at the scene. - • --Policemen barricade a paving supply firm despite charges that a politician asked for the action to help a rival firm. --An off-duty policeman is sus^ pended after shooting a youth dur­ ing a quarrel over a fender-bender accident. In the first three cases, the police were acting with compassion and skill under difficult circumstances, and the news accounts seemed to take it for granted police would be on hand to help. That's one very important ele­ ment in the story of our policemen today -- we do take for granted t h e i r e v e r y d a y a c t i o n s t o h e l p people in trouble. I was struck by the picture of two, policemen carrying the little boys in the first story, go I made some inquiries. A reporter who had been at the scene confirmed my hunch.? He said: - - " • "The policemen were nice to the kids. It was a pleasure to see how gently and patiently they handled the situation.** In effect, that's what I saw also in the next two stories, where vio­ lence and death could have re­ sulted from improper police action, Instead, the policemen were pa­ tient and they used onJy as much force as was needed. Barricading a business firm pre­ sents a different side of the police story. The firm's attorney made it clear he thought it was a squeeze play with unpleasant overtones. Be that as it may. police were acting under orders and they obeyed. In the fifth case, we see still another view of the full police story--a policeman who seem* to have gone bad. Considering the terrific pressures we put on policemen, we should not be astonished that they're no: HX) per cent perfect. In my first-hand association with law enforcement men in five of­ ficial positions I have held. I have been impressed time and again by good policemen. I have seen them take abuse that no untrained person could with­ stand. I have seen them walk into dangerous situations giving no out­ ward indication whatsoever that they're human enough to be afraid!. And I have worked long hours to identify and discharge that small percentage of men who cannot act with restraint once they've been given a gun and a badge. The sporadic incidents of police brutality probably can­ not be eliminated entirely, but their number can be reduced substantially by good training and leadership. That effort is just part of what we must do if we expect good men to stand up under Jfie working con­ ditions we impose men. They're usually first on the scene, but their actions under fire, so to speak, most surely can be second- guessed by the press, the courts, or by other law enforcement agen­ cies. Thus their instincts, their train­ ing, and the kind of leadership they've had are all put to a severe test at the scene of the action. Usually there isn't time to look at a lawbook, or consult a doctor, or get advice from the writers of editorials. Frankly, I think we're darned lucky our policemen do so well so much of the time. And perhaps we take them for granted for a good reason: „ • >.> Most people are used „ to the idea that when we're in trouble, we can count on policemen to help. ,, m e a t u s • » T£fZ\Z\elB lUAfc.D Landscaping, Floral Courses Offered At MCC McHenry County college is offering two different land­ scape courses this fall semester.
