A better informed personnel will make for a more closely knit and efficient department. The initiation of this much needed informative pamphlet will improve morale and disseminate information to the rank and file that they would not ordinarily officially know, and thus keep them and other city agencies informed of the activities and programs of the department.
Commissioner Kross noted the actual physical production of the newsletter was one of the DOC printshop's inmate vocational training projects. She also thanked "a well-known printing firm" for generously, albeit annonymously, donating paper "off-cuts" used in the printshop's inmate training projects.
The Sidelights name continued for the DOC newsletter under Commissioner George McGrath during the Lindsay administration. But the publication became less frequent and, after a couple of issues, adopted a magazine format -- no articles on the front cover, a few feature articles rather a series of smaller items of information, larger photo layouts, and much greater use of "white space" as a design element.
