Divorced from -The Bridgeport department, as ent of 3SI. Of the original ros- it stands today under the efficient ter George Arnold and John F1- leadership of Supt. Joseph A. i on wer( tne of tf fjrsl Walsh, backed up by Capl. Domi- group.

The jurisdiction of the de- nic A. Conte, as head of i well partmenl was at time "with- trained detective division, com- the boundaries of the city of Bridgeport, or on any portion of Seaside park." Originally the Common had appointment of members of the department, and stood for one ytar. Later the commissioners nominated. Still later this was changed, so lhat appointments were made by commissioners, but their action had to be ratified by the Common Council. In 1895, that was changed for Ihe lasl time, so that appoint pares with any like department in the nation.

In former years politics dominated it to such an extent it weakened its efficiency. For many years past, especially since the advent of Civil Service, it has been divorced from the control of the Common Council, and since then its standing in the community has been much improved. Today the gambling houses, and houses of ill fame are so rare that they cause astonishment. In regard to Ihe observance of the laws in all other matters there has been a corresponding enforcement on all lines. The high slandard of the conception of duty of ils commanding officers is the key to Ihe department's place of respect in the community.

BRIDGEPORT'S Police department was organized April 26, 1869--95 years ago. Previous to that we had the "night watch," and the employment of special officers during the day. In those days Bridgeport was in its swaddling clothes. Its inhabitants had no bold dream of being the second largest city in Ihe slate. The town was just beginning lo grow.

A commission composed of Elbert E. Hubbell. John Knowles, George E. Whealon, Henry R. Parrott, George C.

Bishop, Eli Dewhurst, Albert Wakeman and George Munger was in charge. It was big board for the work it had in hand. They did not even enjoy the election of in members, which was by vole of the Common Council in those days. Its original roster was aj follows: Chief, William E. Marsh; captain, John Rylands; first geanl, Thomas C.

NiWo; second sergeant. Albert Gardner; patrolmen, William Copeland, George H. Arnold. William R. Galpin, Bernard Farrell, Michael J.

Duane. Patrick Hearty, Addis E. Payne, Orris J. Jennings, David B. Hawley, to which were added lattr Ihe names of John Dinon, John Fallon, Charles B.

Nichols, John Keyes. Ppier Heffner, Patrick Bracken. Stephen D. Skidmore and William N. Banks.
