Hamilton Wins Carter H. Harrison Medal A CHICAGO POLICE Investigator who
confronted a convicted murderer as he
attempted to escape from the Criminal
Courts Building with two hostages last
year has been presented the city's
highest award for bravery-the Carter
H. Harrison Medal.
The medal was presented by Mayor
Richard J. Daley to Inv. Crosset Ham
ilton, of the Criminal Investigation
Division, Homicide/ Sex, Area 4, in a
ceremony held in the Council Chamber
at City Hall on October 5.
The Carter H . Harrison Medal and
the Lambert Tree Medal, are awarded
annually by the City of Chicago to the
policeman and fireman who perform
exceptional acts of bravery under dan
gerous and trying circumstances. The
two awards are alternated each year
between a policeman and a fireman
selected by an awards' committee.
Hamilton, attending court on Oct.
16, 1970, heard the escape alarm sound
in the building. He checked courtrooms
on the 5th and 6th floors, then· pro
ceeded to the 7th floor where other
police officers told him that Gene Lewis,
sentenced to death for murder, was at
tempting to escape and that he was
armed with a gun smuggled into a
cou rtroom by a woman.
Lewis had shot at a baliff, then took
the bailiff's gun and forced him and an
assistant state's attorney to accompany
him.
Hamilton and the other officers
checked Judge Saul Epton's courtroom
and, through a small opening between
the entrance doors, observed Lewis, a
revolver in each hand, pointing the
weapons at his two hostages.
Inv. Hamilton, who was in pl ain
clothes, and two uniformed officers
then worked out a plan of action to try
to capture the gunman without harm
ing the hostages. When Lewis left the
courtroom and started down the hall
way , he saw the uniformed officers
and ordered them to drop their guns.
The officers refused and began walking
backwards towards a freight elevator
where Hamilton had hidden himself.
As Lewis and the two hostages
walked past the elevator, Hamilton
emerged, announced his office, and
ordered Lewis to surrender. As Lewis
turned towards Hamilton, one gun in
each hand, Hamilton fired , fatally
wounding him .
Supt. James B. Conlisk, Jr., com
menting on the act, said :
"The swift, decisive action taken by
Investigator Hamilton is highly com
mendable and reffects the highest tradi
tion of the Chicago Police Department.
Hamilton's presence of mind and
prompt action, without question, saved
the lives of the two hostages and
prevented the escape of a dangerous
criminal."
Hamilton, 31, has been a police offi
cer since February, 1962. He was pro
moted to Investigator in October 1968.
He has served at the following locations
-lIth (Fillmore) District for a year;
10th (Marquette) District for five
years; Task Force Area 4 ; CID Area 1,
Homicide/ Sex, and currently, CID,
Area 4, Homicide/ Sex, where his com
manding officer is Lt. Charles Azarello.
During his nine-year career, Hamil
ton has received 59 Honorable Men
tions for his good, aggressive police
work; a Commendation and many
complimentary letters from grateful
citizens. He was the 1971 recipient of
the Police Medal, awarded during the
annual Police Recognition Ceremony
in May.
At the October 5th ceremony, special
honorable mention and honorable men
tion citations were awarded to 19 other
police officers for valor and courageous
action, nine of them posthumously to
officers killed in the performance of
their duty during 1970.
Posthumous h 0 nor a b 1e mention

PEOPLE ARE THE MOST important ingredient in the Data
Systems Division. Sure, the division houses a lot of fancy
equipment such as computers, video terminals, and key punch
machines, but as Director Garland Frazier says, "A computer
doesn't do anything by itself; it is merely a tool used to
perform a function. It is the people who run it and how
they run it that counts."
The job of Data Systems' personnel is really very simple
in concept. They produce facts-facts for use by the Chicago
Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
They handle most of the information processing needs of the
Department. It would be impossible and even boring to list
every single job they do, but for openers, did you know the
computer is programmed and used daily to print out the
Hot Sheet (license numbers of stolen cars) run in the Daily
Bulletin? Or, when a beat man in the district calls the Com
munications Center to find out if a suspect has any arrest
warrants on him, did you know that a memory bank (part
of the Hot Desk System) is tapped to give the answer?
But again, it is the people of Data Systems who come first.
People such as Garland Frazier, who has been its director
for the past two years. A man large in knowledge and stature,
he is also Assistant Director of Data Processing for the City
of Chicago. He has been a teacher as well as student of
Some of the division's technical staff, along with their secretarial help, includes standing from left, Ernie Matsanaga, Dan Drennan, Jackie Gagliardi, Judy DeVine, Kris Reddy, Frank Cash, Judy Pletke, Peter Alex
ander, and Ned Dunbar. Seated from left are Pat Heafey, Suzanne Hunter and Lou Carp entM'. computer technology, possessing a degree in the subject from
Roosevelt University.
Since his arrival at the Police Department, Director Frazier
has constantly drawn fresh, qualified personnel to his division
as well as new ideas, plans, and equipment to ensure that
the Chicago Police Department will be as up to date in
computer technology as any law enforcement agency in the
world.
In comparison to other divisions in the Department, Data
Systems is composed of almost all civilian personnel-about
150. There are four police officers. They are: Capt. William
Tyrrell, Assistant to the Director; Ptlmn. Andy Wojciechow
ski, Senior Systems Engineer, who is the project leader in
charge of the Hot Desk; Ptlmn. Rich Cervenka, Coding
Section; and Ptlmn. Bob Brown, who works as a Systems
Engineer.
A large number of the division's personnel work in the
Key Punch Section (supervised by Mrs. Erma McGhee)
women who transfer information from case and arrest reports,
for instance, to IBM cards to be read into the memory bank
of the computer. This would involve information such as
the latest statistics on rapes, robberies, burglaries and homi
cides. A special Coding Section (supervised by Raymond
Klomes) employs a large staff that translates ordinary lan
guage into a numeric language acceptable by the computer.
Specially-trained people in the division include the systems
engineers who break problems down into logical steps and
programmers who convert the steps into a language or code
that can be understood and used internally by the computer.
The systems analysts have the responsibility of working with
other sections to design systems and procedures for new
work processes. This group is headed by Gerald Brudnicki.
Then there are the men in charge of the Computer Operation

Section. This is the section where you will find the action.
These men run the computer equipment seven days out of
each week, 365 days each year. This group is headed by
Joseph Kuncewicz and Gerald Sandel. The Computer Opera
tion Section is the key to success of the whole division, for
its efficiency directly affects the operations of all the other
sections that depend upon its output, said Director Frazier.
A computer can work on several jobs at the same time
this is called mUlti-programming. Although the computer
is doing only one job at anyone instant of time, it performs
it so fast it appears that several jobs are being completed
simultaneously. The main characteristics of a computer are
its speed, its ability to solve complex problems and its
accuracy. The components of any computer include the
arithmetic units; the input/output unit (where the data goes
in and the results come out; the memory unit (consisting of
instructions and data); and the control unit (which coordi
nates activities between all the other units). The actual physi
cal size of a computer is determined by the size of its memory
bank.
The actual computer, the machinery, is called the hard
ware. The results of the programming effort are called the
software. Much of the cost of operating any computer
system lies in the expense of producing and maintaining the
software. This activity requires a major effort on the part of
the division's technical personnel. There are 25 in the
Department's Data Systems Division, who translate complex
tasks and mental operations into logical terms suitable for
the computer.
The computer is used to store, retrieve and analyze large
quantities of data with great speed and at relatively low cost.
Its special ability lies in the simple way it can be used to
translate both alpha and numeric characters into an elec
tronic impulse. Most information handling problems can be
reduced to this. form and can be solved directly on the com
puter. It is also used to summarize information and print
out reports for management, the Mayor's Office, other city
agencies, and the federal government.

Business as usual in the Data Cont1'01 section. At far
right is supervisor Eileen Howard.
Through the use of techniques developed 10 the Depart
ment, we have and are eliminating numerous redundant files.
The Department has consolidated and centralized its per
sonnel management activity through the use of automated
techniques . We can now do a much better job of serving
our 15,000 employees (the largest department in Chicago
city government).
As an example of the computer's versatility, one of the
simplest functions the computer is programmed to do, the
IBM 360 at the Civic Center, is our PAY CHECK. The task of
computing the wages, deducting the taxes, etc., and printing
the name and pay can be handled while, for example, traffic
accidents are sorted out by location or a new employee listing
is printed out.
Back to the people again, there are many highly trained
employees in the division-people who are in on the plan
ning end of what the division does . Some of the titles of
these employees are: systems manager, operations manager,
chief systems engineer, senior systems engineer, senior appli
cations designer, systems engineer, applications designer and
the many programmers.
So when you hear that computers take away jobs from
people, that simply is not true. What in fact seems to happen,

is that the duties on some jobs change, usually an upgrade
in required skill. While, at the same time, the job titles listed
above are added to the Department's personnel roster. Com
puter use which is now better understood, has come to mean
that more can be done using this tool in a shorter period of
time, bringing a net increase in the quality and quantity of
service rendered the public.
The world of data processing, much as other activities,
speaks in its own special language and jargon and measures
time in "nanoseconds" (billionths of a second) and "pico
seconds" (trillionths) because millionths of a second are now
too slow. Bigger, better, and more complex computers are
being produced all the time, making it necessary for our
Data Systems personnel to maintain a fast pace to keep up
with all the changes in their industry.
The history of the use of the computer at the Chicago
Police Department goes back to the late 1950s when an
IBM-407 accounting machine with other peripheral devices
were installed. In January 1962, the Department became
the first police agency in the nation to install a second
generation IBM 1401 computer system. In December 1964,
we installed a faster and more sophisticated IBM 1410
system. Since then, more sophisticated inquiry systems and
visual display devices were designed and installed.

j .
Data Systems, Continued ... Ptlmn. Andy W vjciechowski, senior' sys
tems engineer, gives a flip chad talk.
The Department has used this computer for more and
more jobs-statistical reports on crime, employee informa
tion, and activity summaries, to name a few. More and more
data has been crammed into its memory bank. The inevitable
happened. Our computer has reached a saturation point
where it was working at its full capacity and response time
slowed down. In other words, the man on the street who
inquired if a car was stolen or a suspect wanted wasn't get
ting an answer fast enough. Our computer is considered a
"second generation" computer. It isn't good for a computer
to work at its full capacity because that means it is obsolete
and needs replacement.
Now plans call for us to use the very latest and most
advanced computer available, the IBM 370. It will be one
of the two computers at the city's Data Center and the name
of the game will be CENTRALIZATION.
SO we will be hooked up to the computers at the Civic
Center and all the information we need will form what is
called a "data base." The power of the IBM 370 is such that
it will seem we have the computer all to ourselves although
we're sharing its capacity with other city agencies. These
plans also envision the installation of video terminals in all
the districts, at the auto pounds as well as numerous Head
quarters locations.
These changes are coming about as a result of decisions
made by the Department's Data Processing Committee, estab
lished in 1969 to set up priorities for computer use in the
Department. This committee is comprised of the First Deputy
Superintendent, tbe four Deputy Superintendents and the
Director of Data Systems.
They decided on the following priorities: 1. Hot Desk
activities (stolen autos and wanted persons); 2. LEADS
Interface (an interconnection between the state police and
the FBI (NCIC)); 3. the General Index (the six million
3 X 5 cards located on the second floor of the Headquarters
Building).
The new Hot Desk System is being implemented now.
Some 75 per cent of the equipment is already installed and
the final result will be greatly improved service to the field
and to the public. The system has a "higher threshhold of
saturation" (translated; the new system will handle more
work before it slows down) and will encourage usage by men
in the field by its consistently rapid responses. The Hot Desk
deals primarily with data concerning wanted or missing
persons and stolen or towed autos. The new system is

designed to be far more flexible than the present system.
This new Hot Desk System is being implemented on the
IBM 370, located at the City's Data Center.
Once we have a hookup with the city computers, we will
use the computers almost as a utility. Information will be fed
into the computer and be received from it across telephone
lines. These lines are designed to permit a larger amount of
data to pass back and forth at the same time. Truly the
centralization plans which are starting to come true right now
are fantastic. Larger computer systems (IBM 370) will help
people at the Chicago Police Department do a better job and
a more economical one for the city.
In the end it all goes back to the people. A computer is
only as good as its programs and the programs are only as
effective as Data Systems personnel and their clients in user
sections make them. It all depends on enough competent
technical personnel for system development and program
ming. And this is the constant concern of Director Garland
Frazier who says of his staff: "We are a service-oriented
group of hard-working people."

casion. Burglary's outstanding athletes

ing section. Graduation from Little
League paid off for Robbery's repre
sentatives Joe M ucia, Dick O'Sullivan
and Louis Ardo but they were up against
the big guys now . . . A last minute
flash . Burglary #5 managed to squeeze
out a victory from G/ A #5 by using

out of turn. Bad breaks beat GI A-the
sun in Jim Lal ow ski's eyes, Joe Gr eco
lost his compass and of course John
Hinchy showed up .. . Inv. Louis A rado
and John Culloton received their B.A. at
the University of Illinois and are now

FUNDS FOR OFFICER FRIENDLY PROGRAM AT THE FIFTH ANNUAL Officer Friendly
luncheon held in September, Supt.
James B. Conlisk, J r., accepted a check
from Arthur M. Wood, representing
the Sears Roebuck Foundation, to help
undewrite costs of some materials used
in the program. Mr. Wood is president
of Sears, Roebuck and Company.
" We accept with gratitude the real
support of the Sears Foundation." said
Supt. Conlisk, "and it is heart-warming
when this support is converted into the
kind of program we have here in Chi
cago."
Supt. Conlisk praised the work of
the 44 policemen and policewomen who
work in the school visitation program,
representing the police in the school
system. He called them "special people
with a special mission, people who have
in their hands daily the most precious
resource of our community-our chil
dren."
Arthur Wood cited the Officer
Friendly program as one of the most
important programs in the Sears Foun
dation. "It began five years ago in a
very modest way with one man," said
Mr. Wood, "and now extends to all
public and religious schools in Chicago,
grammar and high schools as well."
Some 35 cities around the nation
are now using virtually the same sys
tem of school visits initiated by the
Chicago Police Department, said Mr.
Wood. He added that the Sears Foun
dation was spending $150,000 across
the country on the program to bring

ities such as Explorer Scouts, 4-H club
work, and Boy Scouts, explained Dep
uty Superintendent Samuel Nolan,
head of the Bureau of Community
Services, who acted as emcee for the
program .
Kenneth Sain of the Mayor's Office

of Education , who aided the program
from its start; Jack Kelly of Sears Roe
huck and Company; Mary Gregg and

DEPARTMENT COMMENDATIONS
*
While on patrol and assigned to a
high crime mission, PtImn. Terrance
Lanigan and Thomas Cunningham,
Special Operations Group, Area 1,
observed an auto containing two men
and a woman proceed through a stop
sign. The officers observed the passen
ger in the front seat turn and pass what
appeared to be two guns to a woman
seated in the rear.
The officers immediately curbed the
vehicle and placed the driver under
arrest. They observed a holster on the
floor near the front seat and ordered
the passengers out of the car.
The woman was asked if she had a
gun in her possession to which she re
plied "yes" and gave the officers a .25
caliber automatic which was too small
for the holster. Asked if she had
another weapon, she answered in the
affirmative and two additional weapons
were recovered.
A search of the vehicle revealed one
blue suitcase containing miscellaneous
equipment used in the preparation of
packaging narcotics, and one can con
taining 800 grams of cocaine, valued
at $37,000.
The arrestees were then properly
charged. Further investigation disclosed
that the driver was wanted for murder.
*
After a series of robberies, a tactical
team consisting of Ptlmn. William Gus
wiler and Michael Capesius, 18th (East
Chicago) District, concentrated their
efforts on the offenders. They reviewed
the District robbery file, developed a
crime pattern and put their pla n into
effect.
While on patrol , they observed a
vehicle which aroused their suspicion.
The car was being driven slowly behind
two pedestrians. The four occupants
were watching the pedestrians and
stopped next to the couple apparently
to effect a street robbery.
The officers stopped behind the vehi
cle and as Ptlmn. Capesius approached,
the driver jumped from the car. At this
point , the officer observed a sawed-off
shotgun on the floor and shouted a
warning to his partner. The other three
occupants were covered by Ptlmn. Gus
wiler and a responding officer. The four
occupants were placed under arrest and
each was found to he carrying a gun.

Lanigan
Cunningham
McLane
Thelen
In a subsequent investigation, it was
revealed that they had been involved
in an armed robbery of a tavern one
hour prior to their arrest.
*
While on patrol, PtImn. Robert Mc
Lane and Kenneth Thelen, Special
Operations, Area 1, responded to a
radio call of "shots fired and policeman
injured." Upon arrival, they observed
people firing from a building and then
saw the wounded officer lying on the
ground directly in the line of fire .
Without regard for their personal
safety, Officers McLane and Thelen
crawled to the victim and dragged him
from the line of fire into their squad
car. Although the gunfire in their direc
tion continued during the rescue, they
courageously completed their task .
Officers Thelen and McLane rushed
the wounded officer to the hospital
where emergency first aid was rendered.
The officers then returned to the scene
of the shooting in order to assist other
police personnel.
*
Within a period of 39 days, Investi
gators William Griffin and Frank Jura
ska, Criminal Investigation Division,
Area 3 Robbery, made three excep
tional robbery arrests, including one
which closed the case on the murder
of a security guard.
Capesius
Griffin
Guswiler
Juraska
In the first arrest, two armed men
entered a food store, walked up to the
security guard and fatally wounded
him. The offenders then robbed the
cashiers and fled with $1,800.
Investigators Griffin and Juraska
were assisting in the investigation when
they noted that the described offenders
were similar to two men they arrested
in August 1969 for the robbery of a
supermarket. As a result, the suspects
were placed under arrest and charged
with murder and armed robbery.
I n the second incident, while work
ing on a crime analysis pattern involv
ing 12 armed robberies of delivery
truck drivers, Invs. Griffin and Juraska
noted that a man, whom they had
arrested in 1966 for the robbery of a
delivery truck driver, was recently re
leased from parole.
Further investigation revealed that
he had an accomplice presently on
parole for armed robbery. Subsequent
investigation resulted in a positive
identification and both were arrested
and identified in a show-up by nu
merous delivery truck driver victims.
In the third arrest, Inv. Griffin and
Juraska correlated their efforts in two
armed robbery investigations with two
other members of CID which resulted
in the arrest of the offender. The of
fender was positively identified by one
of his robbery victims and later ad
mitted both offenses and was charged
accordingly.

Dear Sir:
Recently while proceeding south on
the Outer Drive, the fan belt in my
automobile broke. At that point Sgt.
A. W. McCormick, Special Opera
tions Group, Area 1, stopped to in
vestigate.
He helped me disconnect the fan belt,
gave directions to a suitable repair
shop and guided me through rush
hour traffic to the edge of his working
district.
Officer McCormick should be com
mended for his courteousness, thought
fulness and efficient performance.
Sincerely,
E. H.
Dear Sir:
Ptlmn. K. G. Krupowicz and W.
H. Jerozal, 21 st (Prairie Avenue)
District, recently answered my call
concerning a domestic problem.
They were really nice, very helpful
and extremely understanding about my
situation. They took the time to talk to
me and offer alternatives and solutions
to my problem.
Sincerely,
S. S.
Dear Supt Conlisk:
Recently as I left the Civic Center to
pick up my car, I was followed by a
man.
When I finally reached the parking
lot, I fumbled for my keys and had in
my possession a briefcase which I
placed on top of the car. Being quite
flustered, I drove off without taking
the brief case, which contained impor
tant papers, off the roof of the car.
Several blocks later, Investigators
J. E. Knight and Joseph W. Reiter,
Criminal Investigation Division, Area
1, pulled me over.
They said that as they turned the
corner, two men saw the case fall from
the top of my car and proceeded to run
out into the street to retrieve it. Inv.
Reiter and Knight asked where the case
came from and got a description of my
car and followed me until they could
stop me.
I would like to commend Inv. Knight
and Reiter for their fine performance in
their line of duty.
Sincerely yours,
S. B.
Dear Supt. Conlisk:
Recently a group of about 30 young
men and women were congregated on
the beach drinking intoxicating bever
ages and disturbing the peace.
Ptlmn. John R. Hickey, 20th
(Foster Avenue) District, noticed this
disturbance and single-handedly routed
all the youths off the beach and re
stored the peace.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. L. G. H.
