Crime Rise May Mean
Police Service Changes
By LYNN HUGHES
The score at the end of
March stood at 6-3, with the
criminals gaining fast over
Baytown’s men in uniform.
And Police Chief R.H.
“Bo” Turner says the game
plan for his officers
becomes more grim with
each passing day r so
grim, in fact, that sogfti
police services may have to
be cut soon.
“We’re running from one
call to the next and doing
good to make those calls,” although it is coi
one big headache —
Baytown’s growth, con-
tinues by leaps and bounds
while the number of police
officers stays at a fairly
steady constant.
And the city’s crime rate
reflects those shortcom-
ings.
he complains
As a result, a police
department committee is
looking at ways to better
utilize its manpower. “We
are going to have to quit
working some types of calls
because we don’t have
enough officers. We may
decide to stop working
minor accidents or some
other area may be cut,”
Tumersaid.
The problem is two-fold,

During the first three
months of 1981, crimes in
increased over those
reported last year.
In addition, the total
number of offenses
reported is up 6.88 percent,
while the number of call:
for police service has in-
creased 9.02 percent
through March.
Turner says the biggest
problem he faces now is
keeping the city covered by
adequate police protection.
"We don’t have enough
the right time,” he laments.
“All we can do is in-
vestigate after the crime
happens: There aren’t
enough officers for much

four officers short of its
budgeted 85 police officers.

the chamber, said the CC-
sponsored free enterprise
seminars were initiated in
1975 '"“to bring practical
business philosophies into

felt having the seminar

from classes to attend the
seminar, which is schedul-
ed from 6 to 11:40 a.m.
