Chief McRell reported on the convention of the Association of Chiefs of Police of Europe, held at
Paris last month, “which he attended and the good and instructive program they had.” He also
reported that his participation in this conference had put the NJSACOP “on the map,” especially
“through the hand signal books published by this association on uniform hand signals, which he
left with them.”

Chief Roff reported that he had occasion to speak with Jim Egan, the “personal contact man” for
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, during which conversation Chief Roff
Chief James McRell
brought up the matter of Director Hoover’s seemingly unsavory attitude toward the members of
this association and his refusal to speak before our meeting or visit with us on two occasions at
our invitation and our understanding that he refused to sit in on a meeting of the International
because one of our members being an officer, etc. and that in conclusion he seemingly
convinced Mr. Egan to some degree that some of the stories brought back to Mr. Hoover were
exaggerated and as a result Mr. Egan asked Chief Roff to advise him of the dates of our
meetings and that he would talk to the Director and have him come to our meeting.
