by RACHEL RODGERS Platitudes will not deter crime . . . nor will hand- wringing, capital punishment, nor even more police per- sonnel, unless they are intelligent and well-trained, F. McGowan, Program Coordinator of the Department of Police Science said. Furthermore, many of ou1' existing laws are antiquated and in drastic need of revision. Why, we've got men rotting in jails in Broward County for as long as a year who haven't even been tried yet. In order for law enforcement to be effective, MC- Cowan emphasized, it needs to be: F irm F air F ast It is not the severity of the law which deters the crim- inal. The prospect of capital punishment does not stop the murderer from striking. VVhat does deter the felon is the certainty of being caught. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police always get their man - this is their motto and every criminal knows it. Therefore, he is going to think twice before committing a crime while in Mountie territory. Edgar Hoover's list of ten most wanted crim- inals is another illnstration of discouragement to public enemies. They avoid participating in crimes in which the F. B. I. could be involved. 26 In Broward county, the percentage of successfully solved crimes is not as enviable. On September 16, 1967, the Miami Herald itemized a score of murders that are still unsolved. They happened all over the county over the past ten years and are still frustrating the best efforts of Broward police forces. They range from the cold- blooded-a Pompano woman poisoned from an apparently sealed beer bottle in her own refrigerator, a woman found with no head or fingers in a storage trunk in Hollywood- to the hot-blooded - A teenaged girl left raped and dead and a Hallandale woman whose half-naked corpse was stumbled on by hunters in a shallow Everglades grave. What does discourage crime, McGowan said, is the training and education of more police officers. This is the role of the three-point program being offered at the college. Three years ago, when McGowan came to ICBC, there was one course being offered in Police Science. In the past three years, the courses of study have been ex- panded to ten in the departments major areas. These in- clude Introduction to Law Enforcement, Police Adminis- tration, Criminal Law, Criminal Evidence 6: Court Proce- dure, Patrol Administration, Criminal Investigation, Traffic Problems and Administration, Crime and Delinquency, Crime Prevention and the Seminar. These subjects, plus 34 credits in general education subjects, are required for an Associate degree in Police Science. No previous police experience is required to enroll in this course and any high school graduate who would be eligible for admission to the college could enroll. The expense of this program is generally borne by the student. However, there are several scholarships available. In addition, large police departments in the area have Police Cadet programs. These are jobs of all sorts in the police department which are non-authoritarian but do give prospective police officers excellent on-the-job expe- rience and some spending money. Candidates for the Associate degree in Police Admin- istration are restricted to police officers. Their tuition is usually paid for by the police force for which they work. They are required to complete a 64 credit program of study consisting of Introduction to Law Enforcement, Po- lice Administration, plus four additional courses from department major subjects, based on experience. In the area of General Education subjects, English, Report Writ- ing, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Speech are required. Six administrative subjects are also required. These are Basic Computing Machines, Introduction to
