Excerpt from Police and Peace Officers' Journal of the State of California, 1939, Vol. 17Racketeers and other organized gangsters have found the pickings very slim in San Francisco. The two or three efforts of this class of crooks to edge into this city were promptly met by the police, and their experiences have had a very discouraging effect on others who might have been casting longing eyes on the Bay area.Pickpockets and bunco men many years ago came to realize that this was no city in which to try to boost their bankrolls. During the past decade these crimes have been almost negligible. In fact San Francisco is nationally known for its freedom from the annoying pickpocket scourge.With the men of the Bureau of Inspectors, under Cap tain of Inspectors Charles Dullea performing their many tasks in a most competent manner, there have been during the past ten years hardly any unsolved crimes of the so called major type. The perpetrators of those comparatively few robberies, murders, burglaries and other forms of major offenses, have in almost every instance been gathered up, tried, and sent on their respective ways, either to making grain bags at San Quentin, or reducing the size of granite slabs at Folsom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
