An Astute Manager
Willie Lawrence Williams
By MICHAEL DeCOURCY HINDS
Special to The New York Times
PHILADEPHIA, April 15 - A few months after the beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers last spring, Philadelphia's police commissioner asked a local civic group to evaluate the police department's ability to prevent such an occurrence from happening here. In particular, the commissioner, Willie L. Williams, asked for suggestions for improving police training and discipline, the handling of complaints and ways to identify officers who might use violence or excessive force.
Man in The News
It was that kind of response, measured and politically astute that might have impressed Los Angeles officials who are scheduled to announce tomorrow that Mr. Williams has been chosen to succeed Daryl F. Gates as chief of police there.
"If there was one thing that sold Los
A police chief known for his willingness to look at new ideas.
Angeles on Williams, it might have been his willingness to permit a private agency like ours to come in and help set police policy and procedures," the president of the civic group, Ian H. Lennox said today, "That is Williams's strength - his willingness to look at new ideas."
Mr. Lennox leads the Citizens Crime Commission, a nonprofit research and oversight organization financed by the business community. The group is scheduled to deliver its recommendations to the department next month.
"Hard to Replace"
At a news conference today, Mayor Edward G. Rendell of Philadelphia called Mr. Williams "a very fine police commissioner," and he added, "He will be hard to replace, but no one is irreplaceable."
Mr. Williams, the city's first black police commissioner, was appointed to lead the department in 1988, during the administration of Mayor W. Wilson Goode. Mayor Rendell, who was elected last November, said he kept Mr. Williams on as commissioner on the advice of his transition team. Mr. Williams is credited with hiring and promoting more women and minority members and with restructuring the police department to add ministrations and foot patrols to expand its community involvement
His changes have been a success by mist accounts. "Mr. Williams thinks in terms of customers and productivity," said Roland K. Bullard 3d, the president and chief operating officer of Fidelity Bank here. Mr. Bullard is also chairman of the Police Commissioner's Advisory Council.
A Successful Manager
Several officials familiar with Mr. Williams's management of the department concur. "He's a consummate manager," said Judith Pierce, chief administrative officer of Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, the region's mass transit agency. Even union leaders who have taken Mr. Williams to court - and won - over some personnel issues say he was a good commissioner. "I would say he did a good job," said Ricky Rapone, the first vice president of the local Fraternal Order of Police.
Other, when asked to comment on Mr. Williams's performance, noted that the last four years had been fairly quiet and that he had not been tested by disasters like the 1985 police bombing of a house owned by members of the armed cult, Move.
Mr. Williams became commissioner three years after the bombing, five years after the department had been rocked by corruption scandals, and a decade after allegations of widespread police brutality under the stewardship of Frank L. Rizzo, who served as police commissioner and then as mayor.
The turbulent years precipitated reform efforts and Mr. Williams, who had been rising in the ranks, was appointed to finish mopping up after the Move disaster, which has led to the resignation of a police commissioner in 1985. Part of Mr. Williams's charge, laid out by Mayor Goode's Police Study Task Force, was to put more officers on the street and to increase the department's contacts with the community.
More Crime, Fewer Officers
In Los Angeles, Mr. Williams faces a similar challenge in that a study commission will be giving him a blueprint for more than 100 changes in department procedures that are intended to curb police brutality and increase officers' accountability. The Los Angeles department has just over half as many officers per capita as Philadelphia, but 3.5 times as many major crimes as Philadelphia. Mr. Williams, who earns $85,000 a year in Philadelphia, will earn $177,000 in Los Angeles.
Willie Lawrence Williams was born in West Philadelphia, the oldest of seven children of Helen and Willie Williams, who worked in a meat packing plant. He attended local public schools and has an associate's degree in business administration from Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science. Over the years he has taken professional courses and seminars that qualified him for a graduate program at St. Joseph's University where school

In Philadelphia, a consensus that the commissioner has done a good job.
officials said he has taken a few courses needed for a master's degree in criminal justice.
Mr. Williams' wife of 25 years. Evelina, works in the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections. They have three children: Eric, who is 22 years old and a college student at Morgan State University and twins Willie Jr. and Lisa, who are 24. Willie Jr. is a plain clothes police officer in Philadelphia, and Lisa works for the Internal Revenue Service here.
The Williamses have lived for many years in a modest row house in the West Oak Lane section of northwest Philadelphia. Mr. Williams likes to read suspense novels and listen to jazz, and he enjoys weekend classes at St. Joseph's, said Sergeant Theresa Young, a police spokeswoman and friend. "He says St. Joseph's is fun and relaxing," she said.
Rapid Rise Through Ranks
Mr. Williams, who is 48 years old, has spent 28 years on the police force, ary 1986, when he was promoted to inspector from captain. A month later, he was named as a deputy commissioner. in June 1988, Mayor Goode named him commissioner.
"Willie just stands out," said Webster Fitzgerald, who was a member of the search committee that recommended Mr. Williams be named commissioner.
Friends describe Mr. Williams, a barrel-chested man with a deep voice, as soft spoken, down-to-earth and a good boss. "Williams is a class act," said Wayne G. Davis, a corporate security executive and the former special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Philadelphia.

COVER STORIES
"We Have to Start Talking to Each Other" WILLIE L. WILLIAMS prepares to assume the mantle as L.A.'s top cop
By DANIEL S. LEVY
Q. What is the impact of crime on the black community?
A. The impact is devastating. The black community has a larger proportion of crime within major metropolitan areas than any other community. The majority of that crime is black offender, black victim.
The African-American community wants strong, tough, honest, fair policing. There is no African-American community in America that does not want to see police there. The people want to be treated fairly. They want to be treated honestly and with dignity. I think that even in the city of Los Angeles, with all its strife, the people say, "Hey, wait a minute. These people are robbing and stealing and looting. They are not our community; they are not our friends. They are gang members, or they are hoodlums, and they are bums, and they belong in jail."
Crime also has a long-term effect on the community because it drives out the mom-and-pop businesses, the corner stores, where a lot of shopping is done. It drives out the source of income for the teenagers and the young adults who don't have a lot of skills or are just going to school to learn skills. It often drives out the source of income for the one or two parents who may be living and working at home and working in the area. The cost of crime in the African-American community cannot be underestimated.
Q. You have been Philadelphia's police commissioner for the past four years and plan to replace Daryl Gates in Los Angeles in July. What would you have done differently to prepare for the riots in L.A .?
A. Clearly, I cannot discuss the preparations for Los Angeles. I was not involved, and I had not had any communication out there.
But very important in terms of planning are your contacts with community people. These people are your best front line of communication. I don't care whether it is the poorest, the most crime-ridden and downtrodden neighborhood or the most successful neighborhood. The contacts can be church leaders, they can be businesspeople or a neighbor who is out there every day washing off the steps and sidewalk. Part of a commander's job is to be able to pick up the phone at 3 o'clock in the morning and say, "Bob, Mary, I need you out here," and know that they will come. Or if these community leaders need the police commander, they can call him and say, "Chief, we need you here." That is a relationship that gets built up over time. You can't wait until the fires are burning to decide, "I got to do this."
Q. It seems that a siege mentality exists between the police and some communities.
A. When you are dealing with a riot, a police officer's role really gets reduced to command, control and contain. Over the course of a career, a police officer gets involved in command and control maybe 10% of the time. The rest of the time you are responding to calls for service, whether you are dealing with disturbances, abandoned vehicles, sanitation violations or traffic control.
A lot of young men and women come into police work thinking that what they see on Miami Vice is what they are going to be doing. When it is not, a level of frustration sets in, a level of boredom, a level of miscommunication.
Q. I understand that you used the Rodney King video as a teaching tool. How did you use it, and what were you hoping to accomplish?
A. We started using it the second week after it occurred. We used it to point out how an incident, a traffic violation, led to the events that we saw on television. The man had been stopped. We would have given him a ticket for speeding or reckless driving. We ask, "What are the officers doing that they shouldn't be doing? Are there other alternatives?"

CACHERO -SYGMA
Q. Do you have any plans for L.A .?
A. Well, I want to examine training. The officers have said they need training in many areas. The Christopher Commission [named for a panel that called for the creation of a new police commission with increased authority to control a discipline-lax organization with racist tendencies] clearly indicates that there needs to be a real examination of internal affairs and the process of making complaints against police.
We need to examine the relationship between the department and the community. We have to start talking to each other, not talking at each other.
Q. You have to rebuild the bridges.
A. I don't know if there are any bridges left standing. It is going to be a very, very slow process. We also have got to examine the resources available to the department. The city is facing a $150 million deficit. There was an initial budget request that would have reduced the department by 700 people by this time next year. I certainly hope that doesn't occur. If the demands for service and the demands for change go up-and they are clearly going to go up-and your resources to deliver those services go down, there is going to be further distrust and disbelief in the community.
Q. Are you nervous?
A. No, not nervous. But I understand that there is going to be a very short break-in period. There will probably be higher expectations than I will be able to deliver in all quarters at all times. But I am still looking forward to the job. In one sense, there will be a greater level of initial support for me.
I just hope the disturbances of this past week subside very quickly. I hope the community realizes what has occurred, and we have learned a lesson from that, and we never have to look back and mention Watts, and then mention Rodney King and the riots after Rodney King, and worry about what will spark the next one.

G Emphasis on Values Is Needed to Stem Crime, Williams Says
Law enforcement: L.A.'s police chief-designate, in a national broadcast, urges more money be funneled into education to help prevent crime.
By RUDY ABRAMSON TIMES STAFF WRITER
WASHINGTON-Los Angeles Police Chief-designate Willie L. Williams on Sun- day blamed urban gang violence on a culture bereft of family and individual values where children are deluged by images of random violence "from the time they're able to walk and crawl."
Stemming it, Williams said, requires steps beyond strong law enforcement and prisons.
"In addition to putting more dollars into law enforcement, we have to realize that money has to go into the educational system," he told interviewers on the ABC program "This Week with David Brinkley." "We have to spend significantly more dollars in our treatment of rehabilitation.
"Police do a good job of locking folks up,' Williams said. "The prisons are Williams overcrowded. We
have so many people in prison. And it's just not working.'

The answer to gang violence, he said, is a complex one. "We've got to spend some time. We've got to spend some dollars. In addition, we've got to find the substitute parents. . . for these young children while they are 6, 7, 8 and 9 years old, get them away from television, because very shortly, all they're going to know is violence."
Williams, 48, police commissioner in Philadelphia, was named 10 days ago to succeed Daryl F. Gates, who has announced plans to retire in June as chief of the 8.300-officer Los Angeles Police Department.
Williams, who will become the first outsider to lead the Los Angeles Police Department in more than 40 years. conceded that no matter what the outcome of the trial of four police officers in the Rodney G. King beating case, it will be unsettling.

WILLIAMS: Views on Violence
Continued from B1
But while Gates has warned that unnamed community leaders might try to foment an uprising if the four white officers are not found guilty of the beating, Williams said that his and Gates' conversations with community leaders and the people have convinced him otherwise.
"The citizens of this city are trying to put the Rodney King incident behind them," he said. "There's a renewed sense of hope within this city and I think, if we all work together, there will be little or no trouble or violence and we'll start today and move forward in a much more positive manner."
As he did in a tour of the city after announcement of his selection, the chief-designate promised reform in the department.
"We have to re-examine our training from the top, the chief all the way down to the newest police officer," he said. "We have to involve the neighborhoods, the people in the communities-with the Police Department . .. not just going out and serving them but working with them, getting them involved in the policies and directions."
It is important, he said, to make sure that "this department and all the departments in the country much more reflect the community that they serve."
Asked about allegations of racist attitudes in the Los Angeles Police Department, he said that he expects to encounter no problems as a consequence of being the first minority chief in the city's history.
"I was the first African-American to head the Philadelphia Police Department and we had some skirmishes in the beginning," he said. "But pretty soon I was looked at as the chief. [In] the greeting that I have had here, I really haven't heard anybody say anything about being black."
Williams' views on the causes of urban crime, the effectiveness of the death penalty and gun control were at considerable variance with those expressed on the same program by U.S. Atty. Gen. William P. Barr. The two did not appear together but questioners took them over much of the same ground.
While Williams, who agreed with Gates in calling for a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons. spoke of increased funding for education and of finding ways to wean children from television violence, Barr blamed the breakdown
'I am not convinced that capital punishment, in and of itself, is a deterrent to crime because most people do not think about the death
penalty before they commit a violent or capital crime.'

of inner-city families on "welfare politics."
"We now have a situation in the inner cities where 64% of the children are illegitimate," Barr said, "and there's very small won- der that we have trouble instilling values in educating children when they have their home life so disrupted.
"We've been spending trillions of dollars," he continued, referring to Great Society programs launched in the Lyndon B. Johnson Administration, · "and we've built housing projects only to see them taken over by drug addicts and we've built schools to see them
become battle zones."
A social agenda, he said, is impossible without strong law enforcement.
Williams also questioned the effectiveness of capital punishment as a general deterrent to crime, although he said that it might deter certain individuals.
"I am not convinced that capital punishment, in and of itself, is a deterrent to crime," he said, "because most people do not think about the death penalty before they commit a violent or capital crime."
Barr, however, used last week's execution of Robert Alton Harris in California as evidence that federal courts are depriving states of "any notion of finality."
"Even after all appeals have been exhausted, criminal defendants can defer punishment and reopen their cases endlessly by bringing habeas corpus petitions first in the state system and then in the federal," he said.
The Bush Administration is calling for a one-petition rule, he added. Under it, condemned prisoners would be obliged to put all of their claims in one petition. Once it was acted upon, there could be no more attempts to stay executions unless there is presented a "colorable claim" of innocence.
Update: The Rodney G. King Beating Trial
A look at key weekend developments:
- Jurors deliberated 31/2 hours Saturday without reaching any verdicts.
- In a brief Saturday morning hearing, Judge Stanley M. Weisberg read a question the jury sent Friday asking for a definition of the word beat as it pertained to Count 2 of the five-count indictment filed against the four LAPD officers. Count 2 alleges that Sgt. Stacey C. Koon and Officers Laurence M. Powell, Timothy E. Wind and Theodore J. Briseno abused their authority as police officers when they "beat a human being." In answering the question, the judge advised the jury that "beat" means "to hit or strike repeatedly."
- At the request of the jurors, the court reporter on Saturday read 120 pages of transcript testimony from two Pacifica Hospital emergency room nurses. The nurses described King's injuries and also alleged that Powell taunted King by joking that police "hit a few home runs" when using their batons on him.
- It was revealed that the jury forewoman is a 64-year-old program manager of multimillion-dollar military contracts. A college graduate and the mother of four, she told the court during jury selection: "I believe it's the responsibility of the court to punish, not the police officers." But, she added, "I believe that a police officer should be entitled to use sufficient force to subdue a criminal or protect his own life."
- The jury continued deliberations Sunday but adjourned in the afternoon. The six men and six women will continue deliberating today.

Incoming Chief Plans a More Open L.A. Police
6 By Dale Russakoff Washington Post Staff Writer
PHILADELPHIA, April 30-Po- lice Commissioner Willie L. Williams, who is to become Los Ange- les police chief in June and is credited with reducing tension between police and residents here, said today that he plans to walk the streets, attend community meetings and improve police training in hopes of "opening up the department" to all areas of Los Angeles.
He called on Chief Daryl F. Gates, Mayor Tom Bradley and the City Council to begin that process before he arrives.
"They must step in and open up dialogues that have never been opened up before," Williams said. "I don't care how good or how bad it is, they've got to try to open a dialogue. And whatever they start is going to continue and to be enhanced. I want people to give me a chance. We're going to do things differently."
Williams made it clear that he was reacting to the Wednesday verdict in the Rodney G. King police beating case not only as the future Los Angeles police chief but also as a black American disturbed about the issue of disparate treatment of blacks and whites.
"The majority of Americans- black, white, Latino, Asian-will never accept that it didn't have something to do with race," he said when asked about the comment of a juror who said jurors did not believe that the beating was racially motivated.
"And it's what you believe, not what occurred, that we're going to have to deal with as a department," Williams said. "It's going to be viewed from a class position for years to come, it's going to be viewed from a racial position for years to come, it's going to be viewed from a suburban versus urban environment for years to come. And we in law enforcement have to deal with the real perceptions, not necessarily what a person said they intended."
Williams expressed empathy with those expressing rage at the verdict but- denounced. resorting to violence. He said it is his goal to build bridges with the community in Los Angeles but not with those who looted, set fires or staged assaults.
"There is no excuse for killing, for beating people and pulling them out of their cars," he said. "There is no excuse for burning down buildings. That is not in any way thoughtful activity or rage. The rage in people's hearts, the frustration in many parts of the community-yes, I do understand that."
Williams said the verdict and the riots that broke out after the acquittal of the policemen have greatly increased the challenge he expected to confront in Los Angeles.
He said he plans to emphasize
community involvement in policing, as he has in Philadelphia, where neighborhood groups assist in patrols and meet regularly with police.
"We're going to open up the department, involve the community in the decision-making process," he told Cable News Network. "It's going to be two-way. The officers are going to open up and the community is going to open up."
Williams said he hoped to enhance training, equipment and supervision.
"If officers feel they have the best supervision, have support at the top and have the support of the community, they can use the appropriate level of force and understand that when they use it, they'll have a full review of their use of force," he said.
Williams, an active commissioner here who attended 100 community meetings a year, said he expects to attend that many between his arrival in Los Angeles in June and the end of the summer.
