From the History
of the New York City Police Department The committee to whom was referred the compensation to be allowed to the officers attending
the police offices, on February 3, 1812, reported that they had examined the accounts of the officers, and were satisfied
that these were accurate both as to the time given the public services, and the expenses incurred. The report goes on thus:
"With respect to the amount of
compensation to be given to them, considering the difficulty and personal danger frequently attending a discharge of their
duty, as well as the importance of it o the public, your committee respectfully recommend that the several Constables and
Marshal assigned to attend the Police Office (in the watch-room in the New City Hall), be allowed the sum of $2 for every
twelve hours they shall be employed in that duty on special occasions, and by direction of anyone of the Special Justices
in the day time, and the additional sum of $1 for every twelve hours they shall be employed in the night time, and in that
proportion for any longer or short time; and that the accounts be presented hereafter in the name of the High Constable, and
certified to by the Special Justices."
