The description of what transpired during Oswald's arrest from FBI files
The archive notes that the officers in Dallas were deciding what to do with Oswald in their custody. Chief Curry arrived for work and relayed that Oswald must be provided with the utmost security. This shows that Chief Curry did not want another incident like JFK to happen especially when Oswald is their responsibility like how the Secret Service was to JFK.

Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry interviewed in hallway
Chief Curry Photograph in hallway with Media
The photo shows Chief Curry speaking to the media reporters about the investigation on the third floor hallway of the Dallas Police Department headquarters late on Friday November 22nd, or early in the morning of November 23, 1963. The amount of media there was in the hallway shows how pressed the media were for answers about the investigation. It even seems like a journalist used Curry's back as support for writing notes again showing how crowded the area was.
