ACADEMYENROLLMENTSHIT NEW HIGH

TALLAHASSEE —T h etwo g ro u ps picturedhere set a new enroll-ment record for consec-utive classes at FloridaLaw Enforcement Acad-emy and indications arethat enrollments willcontinue heavy through-out the year. TrainingCoordinator BerwinWilliams said it wasnecessary to turn downseveral applicants forthe G e n e r a I TrainingSchool which kicked offthe 1966 term after en-rollment was closed at39. The normal capaci-ty is 36. The Burglary-Larceny-Robbery School,next session on the cal-endar, had 32 students.Williams said studentsare being enrolled forfuture schools at a briskrate and he advised ap-plicants to get their ap-plications in early. Nowin its third year of op-eration, the Academy isFlorida's only state-widein-service training facili-ty for all levels of lawenforcement. The Flor-ida Sheriffs Associationcreated the Academy in1963 and the first classwas held in February,1964.

Carson's "Know Your Hoods" Bulletin Boosts Batting Average

JACKSONVILLE —Familiarity breedscontempt, according to an old saying,but Sheriff Dale Carson has found thatit also helps law enforcement.

After the Sheriff started publishingpictures and descriptions of "wantedpersons" in bulletin form to make hismen more familiar with the underworldelite in this area the batting averageof arrests picked up sharply.

He said the first three bulletins con-tained pictures and information about30 "wanted" persons and 10 of themwere arrested.

Time will tell whether or not thebatting average stays this high, butCarson is convinced that the depart-mental bulletin is "one of the mosteffective things ever to be developedto give the man on the beat a chanceto become familiar with all knowncriminals in the area. "

Copies of the bulletins go to eachcounty patrolman and detective onthe staff.

Top play is given to persons beingsought for recent crimes. Then comepictures and statistics on persons withlong police records who might becomesuspects in specific types of crime. In

this category falls the known safecracker, the bandit who likes to use asawed-off shotgun or a burglar whousually makes private residences histargets. A hoodlum's associates andthe crimes he has been arrested forin the past are also listed.

Sheriff Carson credited the bulletinto three men in his department: Lt.Matt N. Touchton, of the County Pa-trol; Charles Van n, Sheriff's Depart-ment Statistician; and Shelton Weth-erington, head of the IdentificationDivision.

News of its success traveled nation-wide through an article in the WallStreet Journal; and the Sheriff has re-ceived inquiries from interested lawenforcement officials in a number ofstates including Indiana, Illinois andTexas.

Sheriff Carson (left) goes over the latestissue of his "hoodlum's who's who"with Shelton Wetherington, head of theIdentification Division.

No SurprisePENSACOLA —"I have never ex-

pected any other result than a com-plete acquittal,

" Escambia CountySheriff Bill Davis told newsmen aftera Court of Record jury found him notguilty of accepting bribes, conspiracyto operate a gambling house and aid-ing in the operation of a gamblinghouse.

The charges originated in a grandjury indictment on October 14, 1965,and Sherif Davis was suspended fromoffice until January 25, 1966, a fewdays after his trial.

He pledged to continue to "fight thecriminal element in this area with allof the ability and strength I possess. "

JACKSONVILLE —TOUCHY SITUATION —Sheriff Dale Carson's Duval County Patrolhad to evacuate an area of eight blocks and reroute traffic when a natural gas pipelinebroken by a dragline became a giant flaming torch. One worker was knocked severalfeet into the air by the force of the escaping gas, but the leak was repaired withoutfurther injury or property damage in less than 24 hours.

ty Deputy Sheriffs seem unusually cooland collected, it could be becauseSheriff Don Genung has installed airconditioners in their patrol cars.

A newspaper editorial called it "justplain good business"; and added that itshould more than pay for itself throughincreased efficiency.

Touchy SubjectWAUCHULA —The trouble started

when someone's hogs started runningloose in the Negro quarters here.

Sheriff Newton Mur dock had toround them up and impound them.Then he tried to locate the owner, andwhen he was unsuccessful he had toadvertise the hogs for sale in the localnewspaper and on the County CourtHouse door.

An old sow produced a litter of sixpigs, and this raised a question aboutthe legal charge of 50 cents a day forfeeding each hog: When does thefeeding charge begin if the newbornpig is being fed by its mother?

To complicate matters further, oneof the hogs got out of the pen just be-fore the sale date; and another hog gotinto the pen and was sold by mistake.

Everything turned out all right afterthe owner of the hog that was sold inerror and the buyer of the impoundedhogs worked out a trade.

But, don't mention hogs to the Sher-iff. It's a touchy subject.

Invaders Caught at Old Spanish Fort

ST. AUGUSTINE —Historic Castillo de SanMarcos has survived another invasion attempt.

Four young men broke into the 263-year-oldSpanish fort on January 13 and attempted to crackthe safe in the business office.

A 15-year-old passerby, nephew of Deputy Sher-iff Howard Hanson, heard them inside the fort,sounded an alarm and brought police and deputysheriffs rushing to the scene.

One of the invaders, Eugene Robinson, was ar-rested as he came down the north wall and met twoofficers and a trained police dog face to face.

Two others, Roger Miller and Richard Cochran,were arrested as they lay hiding in the water andmud of the moat. Cochran was taken to FlaglerHospital with back and arm injuries apparently in-curred when he jumped from the top of the fort.

Richard Cubbedge was arrested inside the fortin the boiler room.

Since the old Spanish fort is now preserved as anational park, the four youths were arraigned infederal court on attempted safe burglary charges.Three of them pleaded guilty on January 22, but

Cochran was unable to attend the court proceedingsdue to his injuries.

The youths were unsuccessful in their attemptsto open the fort safe. Ironically, it contained littlemoney since national park regulations require night-ly deposits.

Historian Albert Manucy, of the National ParkService, said the fort was under heavy attack by theBritish in 1702 and 1740 when it was held by Spain.In 1814 the Spanish defenders also held off a U. S.attack and it was acquired by the U. S., along withthe rest of Florida, under the treaty of 1819.

During the Civil War Confederate forces occu-pied the fort but they didn't have to fight for it.The only Yankee soldier, a sergeant, handed overthe keys.

"The Invaders" were, left to right, Richard Cub-bege, 21, Roger Miller, 19, Richard Cochran, 31,and Gene Robinson, 21. All four men had anumber of previous arrests for various allegedcrimes in St. John's County and all were out onbonds totaling $8,600.

This aerialphoto, by courtesy ofthe Tallahassee Demo-crat, shows the horse.men in action.

Not just for FunMost of the time they ride just for

the fun of it —in parades, practicedrills, rodeos and trail trips. But thereare also emergency situations such asthe ones pictured on this page whenmounted posse members are called outto find lost children, trail fugitives orround up stray livestock. The cattleround-up pictured above happened to bethe first emergency assignment handedto Sheriff Bill Joyce's new MountedPosse and it was carried out very suc-cessfully although many of the riderswere subjected to the role of Cowboyfor the first time. After 12 hours ofhard riding through slash pine, scruboak and swamp near Tallahassee, theposse brought in 82 of the stray calves;and the others, including two killed onthe highway, were rounded up the nextday. Posse officers directed the searchwith the help of walkie-talkie radiosand a spotter plane. Fifteen FloridaSheriffs now have mounted posses andeight more have indicated they areplanning to organize posses.
