March 21 , 1955 Mr. Ray R. teighton Chief of Police • . Town of Huntington , New York Dear Mr. Leigh ton: : I reid your letter 'to Angus Mc- Jiityre published ln The Long-Is- lander of March. ' 17. In your letter you were concerned about the suggested police budget for the .proposed Central School District No. 5 village Incorporation. , You stated that ?3 , 500 a year was too low a salary for a police- man. I think you and the Village Incorporation Committee are ln complete agreement on this point. The Village ' . Committee suggest- ed a budget for police salaries ' for a force of 12 men of $50, 000. This comes to about $4 , 165 per year per man , not $3 , 500 per year. Ot cours-e , all men would not be paid the same — some could be paid more , some less than $4 , 165 per year , depending upon experience and ability. I am enclosing a copy of the budget that the Village Committee suggested , since you probably did not have a copy to read before you wrote Angus Mclntyre. One further point: You gener- ously offered to hel p by providing any facts that you coufd concern- ing the operation of your depart- ment. One question that I' m sure many of my neighbors would like to have an answer to Is exactly how many policemen are now as- signed to patrol duty ln that part of Central District No. 5 that lies In the Town of Huntington? I understand that prior to the meeting on incorporation in the Hills School there was only one policeman assigned to all of the Town of Huntington South of Jer- icho Turnpike , which takes in an area larger than our proposed in- corporation. * One further question: Do you agree.that the F.B.I, standards oi two policemen per thousand popu- lation , referred to. by Lieutenant Kohler at the meeting ln the Hills School, are reasonable? If you agree that these stand- ard s are reasonable (and I' m sure you will , since Lt. Kohler said that the Huntington Police , Depart- ment is trying to reach this goal), I think you will , agree that the Village Committee has suggested a police force of the right size for our area. The suggested budget estimated our population at 6,000, and pro- vided for 12 police , or two par thousand population. Any answers you could provide to these questions would be great- ly appreciated. _ ' Sincere , ly, ' ' , ,, : . vJHandall?!' . Mclhtyr£- u^: -< Member , - Central .

In reply to your letter of March 21st , 1955, may I say that I am not interested. , in tho proposed budget suggested by the Village Incorporation Committee. I wns just referring to tho fi gu re that .Mr. Angus Mclntyre quoted ln Ids article to The Long-Islander which was , \ wo can. obtain good police- men for $3500 a. year. \ Which statement , of course is ridiculous, As to tho question of only one man. being assigned to all of the Town of Huntington South of Jot- Ico Turnpike; this statement would bo untrue relating back a good many years , I would say over since the acquisition of radio can or any sort of organized police patrol In the Town ot Huntington this section wtia adequately pa- trolled.

' r . . \ v I repeat — my only Interest in this matter is the protection oi this Department against unfair and untrue statements. The posi- tion of the Huntington Police De- partment Ih this matter , and all other matters not directly conceiv- ing the welfare of the .people oi the Town of Huntington , is strict- ly neutral. Our . , only function is the protection of life and prop- erty to the people of tlie Town of Huntington. I would appreciate the cessa- tion of letters that require publi- cized answers. Anyone at all that desires information regarding this. Department and its operation may come to headquarters and obtain all the facts and figures in which he may be interested. Ray R. Leighton .
