Spring 3100 is a magazine published by the New York Police Department for current and retired members of the service.[1] It was first published in March 1930.[1] The name comes from the six-digit telephone number for Police Headquarters at the time the magazine was founded: SPring 3100. (Police Headquarters at the time was on Centre Street between Grand and Broome, which was in the geographical area covered by the "Spring" exchange.) When telephone numbers in New York changed to seven digits in the late 1930s, the telephone number of Police Headquarters became SPring 7-3100, but the magazine retained the old number as its name. [1] Before 1971 the magazine enjoyed higher levels of circulation and had 35,000 subscribers.[1]
In May 1971 the magazine temporarily folded, and in February 1972 resumed publication.[1] It was also not published from 1979 to 1988.[2]
