Abstract

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OUTLINED BRIEFLY. THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR POLICE WORK ARE PRESENTED AND RECRUITMENT PRACTICES EXPLAINED. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, COMPENSATION, PROMOTIONS, TRANSFERS, HOLDING AN ADDITIONAL JOB, AND POLICE EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. QUESTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL POLICE CONDUCT ARE EXAMINED AND GUIDELINES FURNISHED. THE REPORTING AND REGISTERING OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST POLICE IS ALSO COVERED ALONG WITH DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES. THE CLEAR AND SIMPLE STYLE FACILITATES ITS USE AS A HANDY REFERENCE WORK.
