There is a copy of this book in every library in the state. Worth checking out for those whom are interested. Alot of cool pictures and stories. | Originally Posted by Inspector What do you mean "no cell phones?" I remember as a kid there were no portable radios, later they were larger than a brief case foot officers had to use call boxes. Retired toopers can recall when the New Hamshire State Police used to have certain gas stations etc. raise flags when they wanted the trooper to call in as they had no radios at all. The only females on the job were called "matrons" and took care of female prisoners. |

| Originally Posted by Inspector How about when a lot of local departments had no emergency lights, a button on the dash which activated the mechanical siren under the hood and some had "Harvey" radios? Cities like Lowell dispatched for surrounding towns (Regionalization back then) like Dracut, Tewksbury, Chelmsford, Westford and Tyngsboro all on the same frequency |
