November 27, 1963
Mr. J. E. Curry
Chicf of Police
Subject: Traffic and Security Assignments
on Jail Transfer of Lee Oswald
Sir:
On November 24, 1963, the Solo Motorcycle Section detail, consisting
of 10 officers, reported to Elm and Houston Strects at 8:30 AoMo By
9:00 A.M. :- this detail hed been augnented by eleven Police Reserve
officers. Supervisors present, were Captain P. No Lawrence, Captain
J. M. Solomon, Lieutenant N. F. Southard, Sorgeant S. Qo Bellah and
myself. Shortly before the prisoner was to be transferred, Sergeant
D. F. Stecle reported to the location.
The west side of Houston was roped off between Elm and Main Streets.
A large number of. persons were congregated behind the ropes clong
Houston and on both sides of Elm Street between Houston and the Triple
Underpass. I would estimate the total crowd to be between 500 and 600
persons.
T.vo officers were assigned at EI and Houston and two at Main and
Houston. One officer was assigned at Elm and Record and one at Main
and Record. Four patrolmen, seven Reserve officers and five super-
visoro, including myself, were stationed at intervals along the west
side of Houston between BI and Main. Four Reserve officers were
assigned along Elm Street between Houston and the Triple Underpass.
AII officers were instructed to keep a close watch on the crowd and to
be particularly alert for any signs of violence.
then radio stations announced that the prisoner had been shot, most
of the crowd dispersed and approximately one-half of the officers were
reassigned to other locations.
Respectfully,
