The primary object of an efficient Police is the prevention of crime ; the next, that of the detection and punishment of offen- ders, if crime is committed. To these ends all the efforts of Police must be cm ' cted — the protection of life and property, the preservation of public tran- quility, and the absence of crime will alone prove whether those efforts have been successful, and whether the objects for which the Police were appointed have been attained.

INTRODUCTION. I. Tlio Toronto Police Force was established in 1859, under the provisions of the Statute then in force, i)rior to which the Force had been under the control of the City Council. Jjij Statute. 1. It is enacted, that in every City there is constituted a Board of Commissioners of Police, and such Board shall consist of the Mayor, County Judge, and the Police Magistrate ; and in case the office of County Judge or that of Police Magistrate is vacant, the Council of the City nuiy appohit a person, resident therein, to be a mymber of the Board ; or two persons so resi- dent to be members thereof, as the case may re(iuire during such vacancy ; which is now embodied i n the Municipal Act, Revised Statutes of Ontario, chap. 184, sec. 434, page 1889. NUMBER OF THE POLICE FORCE. 2. (§ 440). The Police Force shall consist of a Chief Constable, and as many Constables and other Officers and Assistants as the Council from time to time deems necessary, but not less in number than the Board reports to be absolutely required. APPOINTMENT OF POLICEMEN. 3. (§ 441.) The members of the Police Force shall be appointed by and hold their offices at the pleasure of the Board, and shall take and subscribe to the following oath : — I, A.B., do swear that I will well and truly serve our Sove- reign Lady the Queen in the Office of Police Constable for the X INTRODUCTION. City of Toronto without favour or affection, malice or ill-will ; and that I will, to the best of my pijwer, cause the peace to be kept and preserved, and will prevent all offences against the persons and properties of Her Majesty's subjects ; and that while I continue to hold the said Office I will, to the best of my skill and knowledge, discharge all the duties thereof faithfully ac- cording to law. POLICE REGULATIONS. 4. (§ 442. ) The Board shall, from time to time, as they may deem expedient, make regulations : — 1st. For the government of the Force. 2nd. For preventing neglects and abuse — and 3rd. For rendering the Force efficient in the discharge of all its duties. POLICE SUBJECT TO THE BOARD. 5. (§ 443.) The Constables shall obey all the lawful directions, and be subject to the government of the Board, and shall be charged with — 1st. The speci- ' duties of preserving the peace. 2nd. Preventing robberies and other felonies and mis- demeanors. "ii'l. Apprehending offenders — and 4c.h. Generally with all the powers and privileges, and be liable to all the duties and responsibilities which belong, hy law, to Constables duly appointed. REMUNERATION AND CONTINGENT EXPENSES. 6. (§ 444.) The Council shall appi'opriate and pay such re- muneration for and to the respective members of the Force, as may be required by the Board of Commissioners of Police ; and shall provide and pay for all such offices, watch-houses, watch- boxes, arms, accoutrements, clothing, and other necessaries, as the Board may from time to time deem requisite, and require for the payment, accommodation and use of the Force. w 11; be ;he ile :ill Itic- 'ly prp:amble. I. The Board of Comniissioners of Police, in pursuance of the powers in them vested, established the Police Force, which with the increase of the population of the City, has been from time to time augmented to the present strength. II. The City, for Police purposes, is apportioned into several Divisions, and in each Division there is a station, to which is appointed an Inspector, or sub-Inspector, and Sergeants and Constables proportionate to its size. III. A Division is divided into Beats, which are patrolled by the Constables, who are held responsible for the protection of life and property during the time they are on duty. IV. Beats and Divisions are c\early defined, so there is no difficulty in ascertaining the niimber and name of any Constable who was on duty in any street at any particular time, by refer- ring to the " Duty Book " of the Division in which such street is situated, or the Officer's report of that date. V. Police Rules and Regulations are not issued to meet every case whicli may arise, every offence committed, or to carry out the various sections of the Acts of Parliament or City By-Laws ; but the superior Officers of the Force ar*^ expected to study and make themselves conversant with the provisions they are bound ot enforce, and also to instruct the subordinates under their command. Something must necessarily be left to the intelligence and discretion of individuals and according to the degree in wliich they show themselves possessed of those qualities, and to their zeal, activity and judgment on all occasions, 'vill be their claims to future promotion and reward. Xll PREAMBLE. VI. Such Rules and Regulations as are of a permanent na- ture, embodied from orders that have heretofore been issued from time to time, are issued for the government and guidance of the Force in the discharge of its duty to the City and the public. Each member will be provided witli a copy which he is to care- fully preserve and make himself familiar, as ignorance of orders cannot be accepted as an excuse for the nonfulfilment of a Constable's duty. VII. It will be observed that the subjoined Rules and Regu- lations are divided into three parts : — The first relates to the organization and administration of the Force, the duties devolv- ing on each rank and the instructions pertaining to internal discipline. The second comprises the Rules and Regulations of a departmental character. And the third refers to the con- duct, action, and mode of procedure that should govern the Police in discharging their duties towards the public. VIII. The Commissioners reserve the right to amend, cancel or make additions to these regulations when it may appear desir- able for them to do so. tl P SI g o d it na- ssued nee of jublic. care- orders of a p^I^T I.

Constables are divided into four classes, and the fol- J^jo^^'^"* lowing periods of service are required in each before promotion from one to the other can take place, but in every instance good conduct is essential to advance- ment : Tn 4th class, 1 year from date of appointment, In 3rd class, 2 years from date of promotion from 4th class. In 2nd class, 4 years from date of promotion from 3rd class. For special meritorious conduct a constable may ob- Promotion, tain promotion, irrespective of his service, by order of the Board of Police Commissioners only. In like man- ner he may be reduced from one class to another for Reduction, gross misconduct. 1. A Confutable must readily and strictly obey the Obedience, orders of his superiors in rank, in the Police. 2. He must be very civil and respectful in his de- civility, meanour and conduct to the public, giving the best an- swers he can to the numerous questions which will be put to him, and showing at all times a readiness to do all in his power to oblige, consistently with the rules of the service. 3. He is to speak the truth at all times and under all Truthfulness circumstances, and when called upon to give evidence to state all that he knows respecting the case, without fear or reservation, ajid without any desire to influence he result either for or against the prisoner. ! |l ( llij u Untruth- fulness. Make notes. Arrests. Prompti- tude. Memoran- dum Book. RULES AND REGULATIONS. 4. Untruthfulness is tlio gravest disciualificiition for the Police service. 5. To enable him to speak quite confidently, and to prevent the possibility of his evidence being shaken, he is to jot down at the time, in his Memorandum B(Kjk, dates and other particulars respecting arrests, accidents, or occurrences, to which he can always refer. 6. When called upon by a person to take another person into custody, he nuist be guided in a great mea- sure by the circumstances of the case and the nature of the charge or offence ; but if he has any doubt as to how he ousht to act, the safest course is to ask all the persons concerned to go with him to the Station, where the officer on duty will hear and determine whether the charge is to be entered or not, and the responsibility is then taken off the Constable. 7. If a Constable is called upon to act he must do so with energy, promptness and determination, for if he wavers or doubts, the criminal may escape ; or the opportunity to render .assistance may be lost. 8. Every Officer and Constable will keep a Memo- randum Book on which he will write, on the first page, his name and date of joining the Force , he will also enter particulars of duties, length of beat, time to pass over it, time of going on and oft' duty, all particulars respecting arrests, accidents or occurrences, any occa- sion he may have to leave his beat, «&c. ; all these en- tries are to be made at the time ; and the book to be signed by the Officer on duty, after every tour of duty, also by the relieving Constable every relief.

It is desirable to impress upon the minds of those Behaviour, recently joined the necessity of courteous behaviour to each otlier u[)on all occasions.

Each Constable shall receive the pay fixed for his rank monthly, subject to such deductions as the Commissioners may order to be made, and is on no pretence to take a fee or reward, or recompense in money or otherwise, except by the consent of the Comniissioners or the Chief Con- stable. 2. Each Constable is to accept the pay assigned to him in full satisfaction of his services as such Constable ; and further agrees to forego, as for himself, all claims and de- mands whatsoever for services in making arrests, or doing other duties whilst in the Force, and to surrender to the City of Toronto said claims and demands to and for the public uses of said City. 3. Members of the Force absent from duty from sick- ness shall be subject to a stoppage of one-third of their daily pay during such sickness, and such other stoppages of pay as the Commissioners or Chief Constable shall think proper to make for neglect of duty, breaches of the disci- pline or regulations of the Force or for any other cause. 4.

No Constable will be promoted who cannot write a good olHcial letter or report, no matter how exemplary his contluut may be ; and therefore it is the interest of every Police Constable to devote as nuieh time as he can, when not engaged on duty, to reading and writing and the gen- eral improvement of his mind. Length of services, unsupported by the reipiisitc qualilications of activity and intelligence, cannot entitle members of the Police Force to promotion. 2. None need expoci, to be promoted from one class to another wli<> are not fully up in their duties, l)oth in intel- ligence and physical endurance. Men going on sick list when their services are particularly re(p'ired on certain days or on demands for extra duty, on the plea of indis- position from overwork, may never expect promotion, as they are not to be depended upon, and steps will be taken to dispense with their services. 3. .Some oi the Police having attempted to obtain pro- motion by means of application made by private friends, such practices being injurious to the good order and dis- cipline of the service, the Police are to understand that their prospects of promotion must depend on the report which their superiors may make as to their rpialitications and conduct in the performance of their duties. 4. The Chief Constable having occasionally received ai)plications from members of the Police Force (both written and personal), requesting promotion from one class to another, he desires it to be distinctly understood that this mode of proceeding is improper ; a^jplications of this kind will not be entertained. 5. Merit and not favour is; the ground of advancement, and any of the Police who attempt to bring intei'est to bear for the purpose of inlluencing the Commissioners to pi'omote them, will be considered as dis(iualilied for the promotion thus sought to be obtained. Education itidispen- sahle. Physical eiKlurance necessary. Influence of outsiders prejudicial. Api)lication to Chief Constable prohibited. Merit sole ground for advance- ment. 44 RULES AND REGULATIONS. >\ithin (), Every Police Constablo iii the Force may hoi)c to rise, reach of all. , .• •, • ^^ ,,. , , , , hy activity, intelligence and good conduct, to the superior ranks. an« '1 ilii ■ i i; RKLIKlsS.

A solicitor authorized to act for him is allowed to communicate with a prisoner in custody of the Police, at a Station.

When a prisoner is not searched the Officer taking the charge is to leave in his hands any articles of property found in his possession, 27. When prisoners are searched, or deliver their pro- perty for safe keeping, every article of value taken from them is to be distinctly entered in the Prisonci's' Book and on the charge sheet ; the same rule is to be observed when prisoners are searched before their arrival at the Station.
