Show ciety could not function. As in other years, the judges faced an extremely difficult challenge in narrowing the selections down to Groen, Clerke and the 10 others because the nominations which poured in from all over the U.S. represented a great number of very deserving officers. Their contributions spoke eloquently of the vast variety of police work from humdrum community service to feats of heroism, from dramatic rescues to organizing ghetto basketball teams, from delivering babies to shooting it out with bank robbers. steel-nerv- To receive plaques Those are only a few of the items in the broad spectrum of police work represented in the 1973 nominations. Plaques honoring the officers and their departments will be presented this week in San Antonio, Tex., at the annual convention of the International Association of Chiefs cf Police. This year's top honor officers. Green and Clerke, contend they have sixth senses that make them an intuitive police team. They are part of a federally funded pilot project aimed at reducing robberies, and Miami's robbery rate has been cut 10 percent in a period when in many communities the rate has increased 15 percent Both young men are such devoted policemen that neither can imagine himself ever doing any other kind of work. "We don't think of our job in terms of punishing people who've done wrong," says Green. "When we arrest a guy we think in terms of preventing his next crime, in terms of saving his next potential victim from theft, robbery, injury, even death." Clerke adds: "And if the fellow has any possibility of rehabilitation, we try to give it to him. Of course, there are some absolutely beyond help. It's depressing to have to admit that a guy is beyond saving, but sometimes you have to do it and concentrate on the ones you might be able to help." There are several cases that Green and Clerke like to recall. One is that of Connie. They arrested her for armed robbery and prostitution. But they perceived some good qualities in her and convinced her to enter a drug cure program where she achieved success. Now she's engaged to a manager of a restaurant, and the two young cops plan to attend her wedding one of these days. Student into robber Then there's the incident of the Florida State University student who lived with his mother and an aunt and who became ashamed of asking them for money to finance his social life. Clerke recalls: 'This guy, a bright :f':tA,U6HTBYV L l.w-- N Tf 1 .MiPt ii on a scholarship and now he's working for his master's degree. He's given up his stupid robberies, and he's made two cops very happy for keeping faith with us." Another case is that of a petty thief named Joe. Green and Clerke got him a job in a hotel kitchen. Trouble is, any time something is stolen, Joe gets blamed because of his record. For example, a side of beef is missing. Joe did it, says the manager. Poor Joe telephones Green or Clerke. They go to the hotel, point out to the manager that Joe doesn't even own a car to transport a side of beef, and their "protg6" is permitted to keep his job.

Once we established his invariable pattern, he was a dead duck. We grabbed him. But we talked things over, showed him how he was simply ruining his life.

Actually, it was their compassionate strain that caused them to stop bullets. They were cruising in their unmarked car when they encountered an incident in the making a cabdriver was refusing to accept a passenger unless he raised his sports shirt to show that he wasn't carrying a gun.
