POLICE IN BUFFALO GAINING PRESTIGE; Overhaul Under New Chief Restoring Confidence
Mr. Finney, meanwhile, repeated that he would not tolerate political interference. As if to emphasize his point, he said he was drafting an ordinance banning political activity among members of the department. The order would bar policemen from campaigning for candidates, collecting campaign funds or contributing to funds for candidates or parties.
The order would also forbid policemen to put political stickers or signs on their cars or display political posters at their homes. Mr. Finney said he would also end the practice of having policemen accompany candidates to political meetings.
