NOW, THEREFORE, I, Richard J. Daley, Mayor of the City of Chicago, do hereby proclaim the week of October 17 to October 23, 1971, to be CHICAGO LAW ENFORCE MENT WEEK, and caIl all of Chicago's citizens to join in its observance. Digitized by ChicagoCop.com ~ 3 70 Hamilton Wins Carter H. Harrison Medal A CHICAGO POLICE Investigator who confronted a convicted murderer as he attempted to escape from the Criminal Courts Building with two hostages last year has been presented the city's highest award for bravery-the Carter H. Harrison Medal. The medal was presented by Mayor Richard J. Daley to Inv. Crosset Ham ilton, of the Criminal Investigation Division, Homicide/ Sex, Area 4, in a ceremony held in the Council Chamber at City Hall on October 5. The Carter H . Harrison Medal and the Lambert Tree Medal, are awarded annually by the City of Chicago to the policeman and fireman who perform exceptional acts of bravery under dan gerous and trying circumstances. The two awards are alternated each year between a policeman and a fireman selected by an awards' committee. Hamilton, attending court on Oct. 16, 1970, heard the escape alarm sound in the building. He checked courtrooms on the 5th and 6th floors, then· pro ceeded to the 7th floor where other police officers told him that Gene Lewis, sentenced to death for murder, was at tempting to escape and that he was armed with a gun smuggled into a cou rtroom by a woman. Lewis had shot at a baliff, then took the bailiff's gun and forced him and an assistant state's attorney to accompany him. Hamilton and the other officers checked Judge Saul Epton's courtroom and, through a small opening between the entrance doors, observed Lewis, a revolver in each hand, pointing the weapons at his two hostages. Inv. Hamilton, who was in pl ain clothes, and two uniformed officers then worked out a plan of action to try to capture the gunman without harm ing the hostages. When Lewis left the courtroom and started down the hall way , he saw the uniformed officers and ordered them to drop their guns. The officers refused and began walking backwards towards a freight elevator where Hamilton had hidden himself. As Lewis and the two hostages walked past the elevator, Hamilton emerged, announced his office, and ordered Lewis to surrender. As Lewis turned towards Hamilton, one gun in each hand, Hamilton fired , fatally wounding him . Supt. James B. Conlisk, Jr., com menting on the act, said : "The swift, decisive action taken by Investigator Hamilton is highly com mendable and reffects the highest tradi tion of the Chicago Police Department. Hamilton's presence of mind and prompt action, without question, saved the lives of the two hostages and prevented the escape of a dangerous criminal." Hamilton, 31, has been a police offi cer since February, 1962. He was pro moted to Investigator in October 1968. He has served at the following locations -lIth (Fillmore) District for a year; 10th (Marquette) District for five years; Task Force Area 4 ; CID Area 1, Homicide/ Sex, and currently, CID, Area 4, Homicide/ Sex, where his com manding officer is Lt. Charles Azarello. During his nine-year career, Hamil ton has received 59 Honorable Men tions for his good, aggressive police work; a Commendation and many complimentary letters from grateful citizens. He was the 1971 recipient of the Police Medal, awarded during the annual Police Recognition Ceremony in May. At the October 5th ceremony, special honorable mention and honorable men tion citations were awarded to 19 other police officers for valor and courageous action, nine of them posthumously to officers killed in the performance of their duty during 1970. Posthumous h 0 nor a b 1e mention awards from the city went to: PUmn. Melvin Brown, 3rd (Grand Crossing) District; Ptlmn. Kenneth Kaner, 7th (Englewood) District; Sgt. James Sev erin, Task Force, Area 6; Ptlmn. Anthony Rizzato, Task Force, Area 6; PUmn. James Alfano, Jr. , Gang In telligence Unit; Ptlmn. John 1. Ma tonich, Task Force, Area 4 ; Ptlmn.

Digitized by ChicagoCop.com 3 Photos by Cleo Lyles, Graphic Arts PEOPLE ARE THE MOST important ingredient in the Data Systems Division. Sure, the division houses a lot of fancy equipment such as computers, video terminals, and key punch machines, but as Director Garland Frazier says, "A computer doesn't do anything by itself; it is merely a tool used to perform a function. It is the people who run it and how they run it that counts." The job of Data Systems' personnel is really very simple in concept. They produce facts-facts for use by the Chicago Police Department and other law enforcement agencies. They handle most of the information processing needs of the Department. It would be impossible and even boring to list every single job they do, but for openers, did you know the computer is programmed and used daily to print out the Hot Sheet (license numbers of stolen cars) run in the Daily Bulletin? Or, when a beat man in the district calls the Com munications Center to find out if a suspect has any arrest warrants on him, did you know that a memory bank (part of the Hot Desk System) is tapped to give the answer? But again, it is the people of Data Systems who come first. People such as Garland Frazier, who has been its director for the past two years. A man large in knowledge and stature, he is also Assistant Director of Data Processing for the City of Chicago. He has been a teacher as well as student of Digitized by ChicagoCop.com Some of the division's technical staff, along with their secretarial help, includes standing from left, Ernie Matsanaga, Dan Drennan, Jackie Gagliardi, Judy DeVine, Kris Reddy, Frank Cash, Judy Pletke, Peter Alex ander, and Ned Dunbar. Seated from left are Pat Heafey, Suzanne Hunter and Lou Carp entM'. computer technology, possessing a degree in the subject from Roosevelt University. Since his arrival at the Police Department, Director Frazier has constantly drawn fresh, qualified personnel to his division as well as new ideas, plans, and equipment to ensure that the Chicago Police Department will be as up to date in computer technology as any law enforcement agency in the world. In comparison to other divisions in the Department, Data Systems is composed of almost all civilian personnel-about 150. There are four police officers. They are: Capt. William Tyrrell, Assistant to the Director; Ptlmn. Andy Wojciechow ski, Senior Systems Engineer, who is the project leader in charge of the Hot Desk; Ptlmn. Rich Cervenka, Coding Section; and Ptlmn. Bob Brown, who works as a Systems Engineer. A large number of the division's personnel work in the Key Punch Section (supervised by Mrs. Erma McGhee) women who transfer information from case and arrest reports, for instance, to IBM cards to be read into the memory bank of the computer. This would involve information such as the latest statistics on rapes, robberies, burglaries and homi cides. A special Coding Section (supervised by Raymond Klomes) employs a large staff that translates ordinary lan guage into a numeric language acceptable by the computer. Specially-trained people in the division include the systems engineers who break problems down into logical steps and programmers who convert the steps into a language or code that can be understood and used internally by the computer. The systems analysts have the responsibility of working with other sections to design systems and procedures for new work processes. This group is headed by Gerald Brudnicki. Then there are the men in charge of the Computer Operation (Please turn to page 6) Director Garland F1'aziM', seated, 1'e ceives a rep01't f1'om his Assistant Director William Tyr1'ell.

These men run the computer equipment seven days out of each week, 365 days each year. This group is headed by Joseph Kuncewicz and Gerald Sandel. The Computer Opera tion Section is the key to success of the whole division, for its efficiency directly affects the operations of all the other sections that depend upon its output, said Director Frazier. A computer can work on several jobs at the same time this is called mUlti-programming. Although the computer is doing only one job at anyone instant of time, it performs it so fast it appears that several jobs are being completed simultaneously. The main characteristics of a computer are its speed, its ability to solve complex problems and its accuracy. The components of any computer include the arithmetic units; the input/output unit (where the data goes in and the results come out; the memory unit (consisting of instructions and data); and the control unit (which coordi nates activities between all the other units). The actual physi cal size of a computer is determined by the size of its memory bank. The actual computer, the machinery, is called the hard ware. The results of the programming effort are called the software. Much of the cost of operating any computer system lies in the expense of producing and maintaining the software. This activity requires a major effort on the part of the division's technical personnel. There are 25 in the Department's Data Systems Division, who translate complex tasks and mental operations into logical terms suitable for the computer. The computer is used to store, retrieve and analyze large quantities of data with great speed and at relatively low cost. Its special ability lies in the simple way it can be used to translate both alpha and numeric characters into an elec tronic impulse. Most information handling problems can be reduced to this. form and can be solved directly on the com puter. It is also used to summarize information and print out reports for management, the Mayor's Office, other city agencies, and the federal government. 6 Business as usual in the Data Cont1'01 section. At far right is supervisor Eileen Howard. Through the use of techniques developed 10 the Depart ment, we have and are eliminating numerous redundant files. The Department has consolidated and centralized its per sonnel management activity through the use of automated techniques . We can now do a much better job of serving our 15,000 employees (the largest department in Chicago city government). As an example of the computer's versatility, one of the simplest functions the computer is programmed to do, the IBM 360 at the Civic Center, is our PAY CHECK. The task of computing the wages, deducting the taxes, etc., and printing the name and pay can be handled while, for example, traffic accidents are sorted out by location or a new employee listing is printed out. Back to the people again, there are many highly trained employees in the division-people who are in on the plan ning end of what the division does . Some of the titles of these employees are: systems manager, operations manager, chief systems engineer, senior systems engineer, senior appli cations designer, systems engineer, applications designer and the many programmers. So when you hear that computers take away jobs from people, that simply is not true. What in fact seems to happen, Digitized by ChicagoCop.com Computer operators, j?'om left, Ron Warden, 'Cliff Gale, Roger Pike, Gerry Sandel and William Seymour.

While, at the same time, the job titles listed above are added to the Department's personnel roster. Com puter use which is now better understood, has come to mean that more can be done using this tool in a shorter period of time, bringing a net increase in the quality and quantity of service rendered the public. The world of data processing, much as other activities, speaks in its own special language and jargon and measures time in "nanoseconds" (billionths of a second) and "pico seconds" (trillionths) because millionths of a second are now too slow. Bigger, better, and more complex computers are being produced all the time, making it necessary for our Data Systems personnel to maintain a fast pace to keep up with all the changes in their industry. The history of the use of the computer at the Chicago Police Department goes back to the late 1950s when an IBM-407 accounting machine with other peripheral devices were installed. In January 1962, the Department became the first police agency in the nation to install a second generation IBM 1401 computer system. In December 1964, we installed a faster and more sophisticated IBM 1410 system. Since then, more sophisticated inquiry systems and visual display devices were designed and installed. (Please turn to page 8) The key punch operators perfonn a vital role in the division. Digitized by ChicagoCop.com 7 j . Data Systems, Continued ... Ptlmn. Andy W vjciechowski, senior' sys tems engineer, gives a flip chad talk. The Department has used this computer for more and more jobs-statistical reports on crime, employee informa tion, and activity summaries, to name a few. More and more data has been crammed into its memory bank. The inevitable happened. Our computer has reached a saturation point where it was working at its full capacity and response time slowed down. In other words, the man on the street who inquired if a car was stolen or a suspect wanted wasn't get ting an answer fast enough. Our computer is considered a "second generation" computer. It isn't good for a computer to work at its full capacity because that means it is obsolete and needs replacement. Now plans call for us to use the very latest and most advanced computer available, the IBM 370. It will be one of the two computers at the city's Data Center and the name of the game will be CENTRALIZATION. SO we will be hooked up to the computers at the Civic Center and all the information we need will form what is called a "data base." The power of the IBM 370 is such that it will seem we have the computer all to ourselves although we're sharing its capacity with other city agencies. These plans also envision the installation of video terminals in all the districts, at the auto pounds as well as numerous Head quarters locations. These changes are coming about as a result of decisions made by the Department's Data Processing Committee, estab lished in 1969 to set up priorities for computer use in the Department. This committee is comprised of the First Deputy Superintendent, tbe four Deputy Superintendents and the Director of Data Systems. They decided on the following priorities: 1. Hot Desk activities (stolen autos and wanted persons); 2. LEADS Interface (an interconnection between the state police and the FBI (NCIC)); 3. the General Index (the six million 3 X 5 cards located on the second floor of the Headquarters Building). The new Hot Desk System is being implemented now. Some 75 per cent of the equipment is already installed and the final result will be greatly improved service to the field and to the public. The system has a "higher threshhold of saturation" (translated; the new system will handle more work before it slows down) and will encourage usage by men in the field by its consistently rapid responses. The Hot Desk deals primarily with data concerning wanted or missing persons and stolen or towed autos. The new system is 8 The Data Center's IBM 360 is visited by, from left, Ned Dunbar, Director Garland Frazier and Je?-ry Brudnicki. Seated is Clifford Gale. The complexity of wor·kin.q with computers is displayed gmphically by computer operator, Jimmy Srnith. designed to be far more flexible than the present system. This new Hot Desk System is being implemented on the IBM 370, located at the City's Data Center. Once we have a hookup with the city computers, we will use the computers almost as a utility. Information will be fed into the computer and be received from it across telephone lines. These lines are designed to permit a larger amount of data to pass back and forth at the same time. Truly the centralization plans which are starting to come true right now are fantastic. Larger computer systems (IBM 370) will help people at the Chicago Police Department do a better job and a more economical one for the city. In the end it all goes back to the people. A computer is only as good as its programs and the programs are only as effective as Data Systems personnel and their clients in user sections make them. It all depends on enough competent technical personnel for system development and program ming. And this is the constant concern of Director Garland Frazier who says of his staff: "We are a service-oriented group of hard-working people."

Conlisk, J r., accepted a check from Arthur M. Wood, representing the Sears Roebuck Foundation, to help undewrite costs of some materials used in the program. Mr. Wood is president of Sears, Roebuck and Company. " We accept with gratitude the real support of the Sears Foundation." said Supt. Conlisk, "and it is heart-warming when this support is converted into the kind of program we have here in Chi cago." Supt. Conlisk praised the work of the 44 policemen and policewomen who work in the school visitation program, representing the police in the school system. He called them "special people with a special mission, people who have in their hands daily the most precious resource of our community-our chil dren." Arthur Wood cited the Officer Friendly program as one of the most important programs in the Sears Foun dation. "It began five years ago in a very modest way with one man," said Mr. Wood, "and now extends to all public and religious schools in Chicago, grammar and high schools as well." Some 35 cities around the nation are now using virtually the same sys tem of school visits initiated by the Chicago Police Department, said Mr. Wood.

Digitized by ChicagoCop.com * DEPARTMENT COMMENDATIONS * While on patrol and assigned to a high crime mission, PtImn. Terrance Lanigan and Thomas Cunningham, Special Operations Group, Area 1, observed an auto containing two men and a woman proceed through a stop sign. The officers observed the passen ger in the front seat turn and pass what appeared to be two guns to a woman seated in the rear. The officers immediately curbed the vehicle and placed the driver under arrest. They observed a holster on the floor near the front seat and ordered the passengers out of the car. The woman was asked if she had a gun in her possession to which she re plied "yes" and gave the officers a .25 caliber automatic which was too small for the holster. Asked if she had another weapon, she answered in the affirmative and two additional weapons were recovered. A search of the vehicle revealed one blue suitcase containing miscellaneous equipment used in the preparation of packaging narcotics, and one can con taining 800 grams of cocaine, valued at $37,000. The arrestees were then properly charged. Further investigation disclosed that the driver was wanted for murder. * After a series of robberies, a tactical team consisting of Ptlmn. William Gus wiler and Michael Capesius, 18th (East Chicago) District, concentrated their efforts on the offenders. They reviewed the District robbery file, developed a crime pattern and put their pla n into effect. While on patrol , they observed a vehicle which aroused their suspicion. The car was being driven slowly behind two pedestrians. The four occupants were watching the pedestrians and stopped next to the couple apparently to effect a street robbery. The officers stopped behind the vehi cle and as Ptlmn. Capesius approached, the driver jumped from the car. At this point , the officer observed a sawed-off shotgun on the floor and shouted a warning to his partner. The other three occupants were covered by Ptlmn. Gus wiler and a responding officer. The four occupants were placed under arrest and each was found to he carrying a gun. 18 Lanigan Cunningham McLane Thelen In a subsequent investigation, it was revealed that they had been involved in an armed robbery of a tavern one hour prior to their arrest. * While on patrol, PtImn. Robert Mc Lane and Kenneth Thelen, Special Operations, Area 1, responded to a radio call of "shots fired and policeman injured." Upon arrival, they observed people firing from a building and then saw the wounded officer lying on the ground directly in the line of fire . Without regard for their personal safety, Officers McLane and Thelen crawled to the victim and dragged him from the line of fire into their squad car. Although the gunfire in their direc tion continued during the rescue, they courageously completed their task . Officers Thelen and McLane rushed the wounded officer to the hospital where emergency first aid was rendered. The officers then returned to the scene of the shooting in order to assist other police personnel. * Within a period of 39 days, Investi gators William Griffin and Frank Jura ska, Criminal Investigation Division, Area 3 Robbery, made three excep tional robbery arrests, including one which closed the case on the murder of a security guard. Capesius Griffin Guswiler Juraska In the first arrest, two armed men entered a food store, walked up to the security guard and fatally wounded him. The offenders then robbed the cashiers and fled with $1,800. Investigators Griffin and Juraska were assisting in the investigation when they noted that the described offenders were similar to two men they arrested in August 1969 for the robbery of a supermarket. As a result, the suspects were placed under arrest and charged with murder and armed robbery. I n the second incident, while work ing on a crime analysis pattern involv ing 12 armed robberies of delivery truck drivers, Invs. Griffin and Juraska noted that a man, whom they had arrested in 1966 for the robbery of a delivery truck driver, was recently re leased from parole. Further investigation revealed that he had an accomplice presently on parole for armed robbery. Subsequent investigation resulted in a positive identification and both were arrested and identified in a show-up by nu merous delivery truck driver victims. In the third arrest, Inv. Griffin and Juraska correlated their efforts in two armed robbery investigations with two other members of CID which resulted in the arrest of the offender. The of fender was positively identified by one of his robbery victims and later ad mitted both offenses and was charged accordingly.
