GENERAL RULES.

29. Each member of the police force shall devote his whole time and attention to the business of the department, and he is expressly prohibited from following any other calling, or being employed in any other business. Although certain hours are allotted to the respective members for the performance of duty on ordinary occasions, yet at all times they must be prepared to act immediately, on notice that their services are required.

30. Punctual attendance, prompt obedience to orders, and conformity to the rules of the department, shall be rigidly observed.

31. Each member, in his conduct and deportment, must be quiet, civil, and orderly; in the performance of his duty, he must be attentive and zealous, control his temper, and exercise the utmost patience and discretion. He must at all times refrain from harsh, violent, coarse, and profane language; and, when circumstances require, act with energy and decision.

32. No member of the department shall, in the station house or elsewhere, while on duty, drink any kind of intoxicating liquor; or, except in the immediate performance of his duty, enter any place in which intoxicating drinks are sold or furnished. No intoxicating drink shall be introduced upon any pretext into the station houses, except when advised by a physician. Smoking shall not be allowed in the station house, except in apartments designated by the captain, with the approbation of the chief.

33. No member shall, directly or indirectly, accept from any person, either liable to be arrested or to complaint, or in custody, or after he has been discharged, or from any of his friends, any gratuity, reward or gift whatsoever; nor from any person money or other compensation for services rendered or damages sustained while on duty; nor shall any officer receive any compensation for services rendered, or reimbursements for expenses incurred, by him in connection with his official services, without the approval of the committee on police; nor

until he shall have furnished to the committee a report in writing of the nature and extent of the services so rendered, and a detailed account of the expenses so incurred.

34. No member shall, directly or indirectly, be concerned in making any compromise or arrangement between thieves or other criminals and persons who have suffered by their acts, with a view to permitting the criminals to escape the penalties provided by law; and any officer who has any part in such compromises or arrangements, or has any knowledge thereof, and fails to give information to his superior officer, or the district attorney, or a justice of one of the courts, shall be subject to immediate dismissal by the mayor.

35. Any member of the department, for intoxication, wilful disobedience of orders, indecent, profane or harsh language, disrespect to a superior, unnecessary violence to any prisoner or citizen, neglect in paying his just debts for rent or necessaries, or any breach of the "Rules and Regulations," or any conduct unbecoming an officer, shall be subject to reprimand, suspension, deductions from his pay, or to discharge, according to the nature or aggravation of his offence.

36. All complaints made against any member of the department by any other member thereof than a superior officer, or by any other person not of the force, shall be reduced to writing, with specifications, and shall be signed by the party making the complaint before the same shall be investigated; and any officer whose character has been compromised may have an inquiry as to the truth of any charges made against him. The investigation of all complaints and charges shall be before the committee on police, and the evidence shall be taken down by a clerk; the mayor shall be notified of such investigations. When the committee find the officer guilty of any irregularity, not sufficient to warrant his removal from the force, they shall state what deduction should be made therefor from his compensation, and such deduction shall accordingly be made. When in their opinion the evidence is sufficient to warrant his removal, they shall report the evidence, with their recommendation thereon, to the mayor.

37. Whenever any member of the department resigns or is discharged, or in any way vacates his office, he shall surrender to the captain of the station to which he belongs his badge, number, book of regulations, memorandum books, club, police buttons, belt, and other equipments.

38. Coolness and firmness will be expected in all cases of every officer, and in times of extreme peril the police must be careful to act together, and to protect each other in the restoration of peace: whoever shrinks from danger or responsibility at such a moment shall be discharged as unworthy of a place in the service.

39. No member of the department will be permitted to apply for a warrant for an assault upon himself, or make a complaint for damages, or adjust the same without consent of the chief.

41. No member of the department is allowed to communicate any information respecting orders or regulations, or any other business of the department whatever, except by special permission of a superior officer.

42. No one will be appointed on the police for his religious or political opinions, and officers will avoid all religious or political discussions in the station houses: they shall not interfere, or make use of the influence of their office, in elections; but may quietly exercise the right of suffrage, as other citizens.

47. He shall see that his station house is kept open at all times, and in his absence shall detail a lieutenant or sergeant, to be constantly in charge thereof, to receive prisoners, attend to calls, answer the applications of citizens, or to attend to other business properly belonging to the department.

48. He shall have the general charge of his district, visiting every part of it as often as once each week, noting the condition of the streets, sidewalks, street-lights, obstructions, nuisances, and non-compliances with the city ordinances, and all other matters requiring the attention of the police in his district. He shall report to the chief all cases of contagious disease, and any negligence which may expose the city to danger from fire, and all matters which require the attention of the superintendent of streets or in ternal health.

49. He shall have immediate control of the officers and patrolmen detailed for duty at his station, and shall carefully note their conduct, condition, faithfulness and efficiency. He shall call the roll at 6 o'clock, P. M., each

He shall daily inspect his men, and reform any negligence in attire, want of cleanliness or of neatness, or other improper personal habit; and report to the chief every case of sickness, misconduct, insubordination, neglect, or unfitness for duty; and establish such rules for the government of the station house as the chief shall approve. He shall as often as once a week, at roll-call, put the men through the simple military formations-in-line and evolutions; and once each week instruct them as to their conduct at fires or riots, in making arrests or complaints, as to defects in the highway, nuisances and accidents, in procuring information, or other matters pertaining to their duty. He shall see that each has his copy of the "Rules and Regulations," and duly observes them. He shall divide, with the approval of the chief, his district into beats for day, and also for night, so arranged that the whole territory shall be covered at all times by officers on duty, except at roll-call, and, as circumstances require, placing each officer, as far as practicable, where he will be most useful and efficient.

50. In case of an alarm of fire, the two officers on street duty nearest the fire shall repair at once to the fire, and act as fire-police, the officers on beats adjoining to cover those left vacant.

51. In case of fire or other emergency, the captain or superior officer of the district present will have direction not only of his own men, but also of patrolmen of other stations within call, if no superior officer is present of any other station to which said patrolmen belong.

52. He shall receive into his custody, and safely keep, all persons arrested in his district for any criminal offence; and, unless otherwise lawfully disposed of, shall, before the opening of the next session of the municipal court, cause all such
