POLICE DEPARTMENT. The police department in 1916 includes a chief, captain, three sergeants and thirty-nine patrolmen. The department has all motor equipment. It has a flashlight signal and call box system combined, which, with lines under construction in 1916, will give complete protection to all quarters of the city. Plans are under consideration in 1916 for the construction of a new municipal building to provide room for a new police headquarters, city jail and two police courts. |

| Another well-organized city department is the board of health. This department has a paid supervisor of the public health, a municipal nurse who makes a specialty of caring for tuberculosis cases, two sanitary inspectors, and has also supervision of the plumbing and dairy and food inspectors. That this department is doing effective work is shown by the 1915 Michigan vital statistics record, which gives the death rate of Flint as 10.5 per one thousand of population, while the rate for the entire state for the year was 3.3 per one thousand of population. |
