The Crime Clinic was
informally founded, around 1942 by Police Officers from
the states of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. Each Month the members would join
together in order to assist each other and their
respective Departments in the apprehension of criminals
from their areas. During the Awards Meetings they would
honor the selected individuals and then, as most Law
Enforcement professionals do, they would discuss cases
that they had under investigation with fellow officers.
This was done in hopes that possibly similar patterns
could be identified. Many of the activities were
continued through telephone calls and personal
contacts. A sizable amount of the activity was
investigations into sabotage and related crimes during
WWII. But, because of the vast distances the officers
had to travel the organization became downsized to New
Jersey and New York. |
