Best Officer Was a Believer In Prevention
Chief C. W. Hollis told Kiwanis members and visiting Winchester and Frederick County officers that prevention is the key quality of a good officer. He cited a Baltimore example of an efficient officer with the fewest arrests due to crime prevention efforts rather than punitive measures. He also noted 420 drunkenness arrests locally last year, attributing a rise to booking rule changes after repeal, and said 17 people were held for other agencies.
