The Communist threat
from without must not blind us to the Communist threat from within. The latter
is reaching into the very heart of America through its espionage agents and a
cunning, defiant, and lawless communist party, which is fanatically dedicated
to the Marxist cause of world enslavement and destruction of the foundations of
our republic. – J. Edgar Hoover

The menace of communism
in this country will remain a menace until the American people make themselves
aware of the techniques of communism. No one who truly understands what it
really is can be taken in by it. Yet the individual is handicapped by coming
face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The
American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been
introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures
could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and
decent. - J. Edgar Hoover

The most effective
weapon against crime is cooperation... The efforts of all law enforcement
agencies with the support and understanding of the American people. - J. Edgar Hoover |
John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972) was an American law enforcement administrator who served as the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States. He was appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation – the FBI's predecessor – in 1924 and was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director for another 37 years until his death in 1972 at the age of 77. Hoover has been credited with building the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency than it was at its inception and with instituting a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. Hoover is also credited with establishing and expanding a national blacklist, referred to as the FBI Index or Index List, renamed in 2001 as the Terrorist Screening Database which the FBI still compiles and manages.

Nine principles were set
out in the "General Instructions" issued to every new police officer
in the Metropolitan Police from 1829. Although Peel
discussed the spirit of some of these principles in his speeches and other
communications, the historians Susan Lentz and Robert Chaires found no proof
that he compiled a formal list. The Home
Office has suggested that the instructions were probably written, not by
Peel himself, but by Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne, the joint Commissioners of
the Metropolitan Police when it was founded.
|
The nine principles were as follows: 1.
To
prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military
force and severity of legal punishment. 2.
To
recognise always that the power of the police to fulfill their functions and
duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and
behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect. 3.
To
recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the
public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the
task of securing observance of laws. 4.
To
recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be
secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force
and compulsion for achieving police objectives. 5.
To
seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion, but by
constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete
independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the
substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and
friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or
social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour, and by
ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life. 6.
To
use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is
found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary
to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum
degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for
achieving a police objective. 7.
To
maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic
tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police,
the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time
attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of
community welfare and existence. 8.
To
recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions,
and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging
individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the
guilty. 9.
To
recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and
disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://slideplayer.com/slide/2508641/]
