Police Officer Killourey had the toughest beat in Willimantic.Every night he patrolled the Jackson Street district of town by foot.Locals referred to the vicinity as "County Cork". because of its predominantly Irish born population.The officer was called upon to stop organized dog fights, gambling, domestic quarrels and bar-room brawls.The Police Department decided he needed assistance and hired a partner for Killourey.A massive Newfoundland hound now accompanied Killourey on his nightly beat.

Mayor Danny Dunn and Police Chief Killourey carried out the winter inspection of the Willimantic police department.Dunn was introduced to three new patrolmen, Byron Hicks, Frank McLean and Grant Bombria.He complimented them upon their smart appearance, and asked that they not bring every single case to court because, "under a rugged coat often lies a good heart".Nevertheless, men who persistently violated the law should be punished.Dunn stressed that police courts were not paying institutions financed by heavy fines, but places where justice was fairly administered.
