31 <br />I wish to state the great need for a full time patrolman. <br />The Town is expanding and the duties of our officers are be- <br />coming greater with that growth. It is impossible to have a <br />day patrol with the men working during the day to make a <br />living. Most of the work is performed in the evening and <br />night after regular working hours. With the exception of <br />some investigations and court appearances. We are request- <br />ing the Town to appropriate funds for a new police radio this <br />year. The present set has been repaired a number of times <br />this year and there is nothing more that can be done with it. <br />The set is obsolete and there is only one more on the Cape in <br />use, like it. We are unable to transmit and receive only in <br />certain locations of the Town. A new set is very essential. <br />Our other police equipment and properties are in good <br />condition. <br />I wish to thank the officers who worked with the depart- <br />ment, State Police, County Officials, Town Officials and others <br />who co-operated and rendered their assistance. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />FRANK E. HICKS <br />Chief of Police
