He has been behind most of the chiefs' innovations and has been a prime mover in efforts to interest the colleges in crime and college men in crime fighting. A former assistant director of the FBI, Tamm became executive director of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 1961, quickly turned it from a genial club into a highly expert organization that not only trains police administrators but, on request of city governments, studies...
