THE AEGIS Page 2

Greetings,

As we continue through the year, our numbers continue to dwindle. We are currently at 335 in our bargaining unit. We have 276 Officers, 47 Sergeants, and 12 Lieutenants. We continue to lose officers on the street to injuries and other situations. We need to remember to take care of ourselves first. Use good judgment, good tactics, and back each other up. The manpower issue is being monitored daily. It is paramount and the City is being reminded of this. We will not let staffing effect our safety.

The City will start a class October 5, 2015 and is attempting to start another class in February 2016.

Another recruit test is slated for February 2016, too. Although, if members continue to retire, who knows where we will be. I have had numerous conversations with the Chief about this issue and he too, is in the Cities ear about manpower.

The City Manager issue is not a matter of the FOP against him. He was made the scapegoat, because he actually stood up for Public Safety forces and other issues in the City and they didn’t like that. This started soon after he came in. Once again, an outsider brought in and

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Mahatma Gandhi

Merciful Discipleship

Merciful God, You are rich in mercy. In Your tender love You gave us Your Son, Jesus.

Jesus is the face of Your mercy. We thank You for showing us Your face.

We come to You as a Community of Disciples. May we always know that Your love is infinite and that Your mercy is unending.

May we constantly contemplate the face of Christ and be transformed into a Community of Missionary Disciples.

As Missionary Disciples, may we be merciful like You.

As we proclaim the Gospel of Mercy may we, loosen the chains of wickedness and undo the bonds of the yoke; share our bread with the hungry and hear the cry of the poor; give company to the lonely and welcome the vulnerable; comfort the afflicted and counsel those trapped in doubt; raise up all people in prayer and bear patiently with the wrongs we face.

May we Think like Jesus, Talk like Jesus, and Act like Jesus

So that the whole world may know the joy of Your mercy.

We ask all this, dear God, in the Holy Spirit and through Christ our Lord.

Amen. -Fr. Satish Joseph

Brothers and Sisters:

I decided to include a popular prayer recited at my congregation during Sunday mass. By no means am I “forcing my religion” on my readers but may I suggest that the mentioned prayer stand as a model prayer for the Department and the Union? In these self-centered times, let us, as officers and the supporters of the Lodge, admonish the labels “stiff- necked society” and “stinginess” and replace such words with actions of humbleness, compassion, mercy and giving. Scripture reveals to us “God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”-James 4:6 and Christ tell us, “On the contrary, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life- a ransom for many.”-Mark 10:43-45

Permit Christ to come into your hearts to make the world a better place for the ones needing assistance.

God bless,

The FOP 44 Retirees held their September 2015 meeting on Tuesday Sept. 15, 2015 at the FOP 44 Lodge Hall in Huber Heights, Ohio. The meeting was called to order by Pres. McDaniel at 7:30 pm, after a pre-meeting meal of Chicken Alfredo, salad and garlic bread. Prepared for us by Russ Neville, and Bruce Osborn. Thanks for cooking for us.

The Lodge improvements are continuing and the Handicapped parking lot on the west side of the building has been poured, and the ramps at all three doors have also been completed. The stripping, will be done soon and will include the extra 5 feet per space for wheelchair access per the American Disabilities Act requirements.

The list of Sick and Distressed members list is growing: Rick Smith has some upcoming surgery, Leo Budenz had a heart attack and a stint installed and as of this writing (9-16-2015) is in Miami Valley Hospital. Rick Shiverdecker con-tinues his struggles with his illness and expressed his gratitude for the electric wheelchair, and was able to obtain a van with a lift. The van is older and needed some repair, but is serving the purpose. Several Retirees have passed away in the last week or so: Richard Hughes, William R. Howard, and Chuck Palmer. And Sandy DuBose wife of William Dubose, passed away, she was employed by MCSO years ago. We had no first time attendees, but some faces we had not seen in awhile: Kevin Temple, Larry Powell, and Larry Kincaid. Was good to see them, I will make a better effort to talk to ya at the next meet-ing.

The Lodge Hall is still a busy place with many upcoming activities such as, Ok-toberfest on Oct. 24, 2015. Cindy Wolford talked to the attendees about the “Dayton’s Finest Females Reunion” a gathering of the past city/Police Dept. female employees, to be held Nov. 13, 2015 at the Lodge Hall. Randy Beane continues work on the Police Memorial, and work parties are being organized to continue the improvements and enhancement of the Lodge Hall and the out-side property. A Fishing Tournament is being planned and so is a Volleyball Tournament. Lisa Martinez is working with Catholic Social Services to allow us to support a Christmas Charity called “Angel Tree”. More information on this later. Pres. McDaniel periodically sends out information via e-mail, if you are not receiving them forward your e-mail address to us (any Executive Board Member) and we will get them on the list.

Meeting was adjourned, and Split the Pot drawing was won by Kevin Temple, $35.00, and was then donated to The Dayton Police History Foundation. Atten-dance Award of $1308.00 was not won by Tom Hogle.

Next meeting is Tuesday, October 20, 2015, at 7:30 pm. Pre-meeting meal will be prepared by: Russ Neville, Lisa Martinez, and Donna Pack.

See ya at the meetin’

The Retiree Identification Cards, not being issued to those on a disability, is being reviewed by our lodge attorney, Susan Jansen. The City has hired a new Law Director and hopefully we can sit down and discuss this stupid decision. If not, then perhaps a law suit. There is legislation to support us on this.

Please be safe and take care. The next lodge meeting is October 13, 2015, at 8pm.

Dayton Finest Female Reunion

Dear Members & Past Members of the F.O.P.

5 Months ago, a committee of numerous women who worked for the Dayton Police Department, MCSO, Montgomery County Courts, Prosecutors Office etc, during the 1970’s, 1980’s, & 1990’s was formed in order to organize a 1Night Only Event, bringing together & celebrating lives and accomplishments women of this time and era accomplished during their careers.

On Friday, November 13th 2015 at 6:30 p.m. this “Reunion” will be held at the F.O.P. Hall on Powell Road, AND YOU ARE IN-VITED!

Are you a woman who worked in ANY CAPCITY at any of these agencies who would like to see some of your old friends who you have not seen in a very long time?

Are you a man, who worked at one of these agencies and you want to recognize and acknowledge some of the women that worked hard to make these various agencies run in a more efficient way?

Are you curious about the era, how it affected women, and would like to enjoy a Night of Memories?

PLEASE COME, ALL ARE WELCOME

As the years pass quickly, many of our old friends and co-workers have passed away. Many Memories are fading also. This will be a night of Celebration, Recognition, Reflection and FUN! Great food, great beverages, great company… Step back in time with us and see the surprises we have in store…

Seating is Limited Please RSVP with your $15.00 Reunion Fee as soon as possible. Deadline will be October 13th, 2015 in order to prepare for the caterer and provide each person with plenty of Food, Drinks & Deserts.

As Ptl. Purcell, working

in a plainclothes detail,

approached ‘Slim’ inside

the rear of the saloon,

three gunshots were

heard by a second offi­

cer who was just enter­

ing the back door. Ptl.

Purcell lie dying on the

saloon floor with a fatal

gun shot wound to his

stomach and a stab

from a “dagger to the

heart.” The suspect ran

through the front door

of George Kern’s saloon

and escaped capture.

An intensive manhunt

immediately took place

to apprehend ‘Alabama

Slim.’

Ptl. John C. Post arrived

on the scene and a half

block away took into

custody one “Alabama

gang” member for

“suspicion.” The suspect

was subjected to

“grueling cross­

examination” at the

Central Police Station.

He admitted to having

hidden the gun used in

the crime. Soon as many

as six gang members

were taken by police to

the station house for

interrogation. Days

later, ‘Alabama Slim’

was arrested by Dayton

police officers for the

murder of Ptl. Purcell.

Police efforts in pressur­

ing and crippling the

“Alabama gang” had

been taking place previ­

ous to the killing. Only a

week earlier, Dayton’s

first black officer, Ptl.

William Jenkins, had

been involved in a brawl

with six gang members

on Dunbar Avenue. He

was able to arrest four

of them but suffered

severe injuries to his left

hand and was nearly

blinded in the fight from

blows to the head. The

debilitating nature of

the injuries also caused

him to be very fearful.

The DPH Board of Trustees has given the museum initiative a working title: It is being referred to as the Dayton Metropolitan Police Museum. It matches the original 1867 name of the Dayton Metropolitan Police Force while also providing broader context for other area law enforcement agencies. The name is tentative and will likely be modified by the opening of a local police museum at Carillon Park.

As reported last month, DPH is investing a portion of the ‘seed money’ that it has accumulated, thanks to many of you, in a graphic designer to develop watercolor conceptual illustrations of the museum for brochures and print. An introductory meeting was held with a representative from Exhibit Concepts, Inc. Although no work has been contracted as of this writing, the background on ECI is very good. It has been in business since 1978 and has done exhibit designs at major galleries around the nation. ECI is currently engaged to create displays at The Oklahoma City Memorial Museum now that the Feds have released the Timothy McVeigh-Terry Nichols evidence from the Oklahoma City bombing case. A cost estimate for the artist renderings for our local police museum is expected soon.

Another graphic arts studio, Nine21 Photography & Design, is redesigning the Day-ton Police History logo. That studio will also be engaged to reactivate and upgrade the DPH website so that it can accept online donations, list donors, show progress towards reaching fundraising goals, and announce news related to the project. Both of these will be important financial investments. These steps will be followed by a professional architect or architectural firm being brought in to develop scaled draw-ings of the exterior design of the museum and an interior floor plan.

A timeline will soon be set up for moving from one step to the next. After the pre-liminary work as described above is in place, major corporations and individuals will be introduced to the DPH museum initiative in a pragmatic way. As soon as one or two are willing to make large donations or pledges, then the project will go public with a campaign. The sponsors of the museum deserve to receive as much publicity as possible and their involvement will lend greater credibility to the over-all plan and invite others to join in.

Here is the museum project recap: What each party brings to the table and the conditions were featured in the June edition of The Aegis. Some basic exam-ples of how funds might be raised and the use of the funds were featured in the July edition of The Aegis. The importance in obtaining a philanthropic anchor for the museum project was explained in the August edition of The Aegis. Recom-mendations of a professional architect or architectural firm were requested of the membership in the September edition of The Aegis. Refer to those four newslet-ters for fuller details.

Hopefully, a “Flashback” page or two will appear in this newsletter showing im-ages from the “Patrolling the Streets of Dayton” temporary exhibit held at Carillon Historical Park in 2008.

Ptl. Jenkins had already

suffered a painful injury

to his hip three years

earlier while heroically

rescuing people during

the catastrophic 1913

Great Flood. That injury

only worsened with

time. Now he feared he

would be beaten or

killed by the “Alabama

gang” because of the

arrests he had made.

This was being told to

him by friends in West

Dayton. The killing of

Ptl. Purcell only added

to the authenticity of

the gang’s threats. He

felt he could no longer

protect himself.

Last month the Carillon Park CEO received an unexpected $10,000 donation from the National Police Softball Tournament earmarked for efforts to create the Dayton Area Sports History Center at the Carillon Historical Park. In con-sultation, retirees Steve Crews and Dick Osborn determined how best to dis-perse NPST rainy-day funds now that the tournament has moved to Cincinnati after 40 years. This very generous donation will help move the sports initiative forward, bringing credit to the NPST and local law enforcement. The donation also indi-rectly offers greater standing to the serious pursuit of establishing a local police mu-seum at Carillon Park, for which DPH Foundation is grateful.

This month, DPH extends its appreciation to David Oroszi, a photographer and railroad enthusiast, who provided a CD with photographs he has take in the 1960’s and 1970’s of Dayton public safety vehicles and officers, including police and to Sharen Neuhardt who provided a CD with images of her late father, Lt. Robert Swartz (1949-1971), a past Lodge President and former State FOP First Vice Presi-dent, and news articles from his career that ended with his death.

A presentation about the arrest of John Dillinger by Dayton police in 1933 was given on September 28 at the Dayton-Metro Library (West Carrollton branch) but the level of attendance is not available at this writing. A three-hour presenta-tion is scheduled on the history of local law enforcement on October 12 for the in-coming 104th Dayton police recruit class.

DPH Foundation was credited in a blog by Rock Island Auction Company (RIAC) for research it conducted into the Dayton Colt Thompson submachine gun auc-tioned on September 11-13. As a result of newspaper research, the cooperation of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office which still has its two Tommy guns, and an index of Thompsons registered with the U.S. Treasury Department, the serial num-bers and locations were found on all three Dayton police Tommy guns sold in the late 1980’s. One is with a private collector in Naples Florida, one is listed as owned by a private collector in Omaha, Nebraska and the one with RIAC was sold to an unnamed buyer for $80,500. The records show that in 1927 the two MCSO Tommy guns and two DPD Tommy guns were obtained in the same shipment from Pennsyl-vania and the third DPD gun was shipped from Kentucky to Dayton police in 1930. The serial numbers and index records were provided to Dayton Range Officer Chad Knedler.

On October 9, a new book about crime in early 20th Century Dayton, Cold Serial: The Jack the Strangler Murders by author Brian Forschner, became available on Amazon.com. If you like local history or crime mysteries, this is a book certainly worth having. Brian is generously donating a portion of the sale proceeds to DPH Foundation. He is expected to be invited by the FOPA to speak about his book be-fore the end of 2015.

This is a reminder that a “Dayton’s Finest Female Reunion” for all women of the DPD from the 1970’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s is scheduled to take place at the Lodge on No-vember 13.

(Continued from page 16)

On November 16, 1916,

Ptl. William Jenkins re­

tired from service with

the Dayton Division of

Police. With his retire­

ment, the year that

started with the death

of a Dayton ‘motorcop’

came to a close as one

of the worst in Dayton

history. That year, Chief

John Allaback ended his

eighth consecutive year

in charge. He would not

have to attend another

Dayton police funeral

over the remaining six

years of his 36­year ca­

reer [5 as deputy chief;

15 as chief].
