Detroit had its own test prepared. It is a 100-question exam that Medical Director Dr. George Moriarty says sifts out "emotional instability, stress and strain, sadistic inclinations, those not really interested in a police career, borderline cases and homos." In Cincinnati, groups of ten police applicants at a time take part in two-hour bull sessions on such topics as homosexuality and minority groups.

Seventeen months after taking charge, he cannot hide his enthusiasm at being chief. "I love the challenge," he says. "It scares hell out of me, but I love it." He adds: "This is the year...
