My old man in Roxbury August 12th 1964 at the corner of Alexander St + Oleander St, Dorchester. Four men arrested with several Molotov Cocktail bombs. Hint, my old man is wearing the glasses.
You're right, he was appointed as a reserve officer in 1907 and full-time in 1909. I also have a scan of a whole article written about him from the Fall River Herald in 1929 complete with picture of him directing traffic. The coolest thing I've found is his personnel record, which is surprisingly complete and detailed. He's the only other cop in my family tree so I find it pretty cool.
It looks like my former (now late) chief helping to pat the suspect down. He joined BPD in 1957, so it COULD very well be. He was a really good guy and a pleasure to work for. A gentleman. Of course if that ISN'T him, well, he looks like a nice guy too.
YES! I was in high school. Wow...impressive memory That was a great weekend. Spent some time driving up and down Revere Beach thinking I was the coolest guy ever.
carried one for 4 years at the Uof M. Never used it but was always glad to have it. Better to have and not need than need and not have. In fact I started using that phrase when I was there. They wanted us to carry EVERYTHING including the nightstick (yeah, I know!) and as I got on an elevator one day some woman made a crack about all the stuff I was carrying and my reply was..... I would LOVE to see a picture of that officer NOW! I wonder how well she's aged...or not. I'm just curious, really curious.
I was shopping for a "fresher" can of OC about six months ago and wanted to pick up a MK3...for some goofy reason, the store had primarily MK5 cans.
I still have my dispenser and holster....if they make refill cans of OC pepper spray (as opposed to CN chemical mace), I'd use it if I could. I spray everyone who fights now (I'm getting too old to roll around with these idiots), so having a larger canister would be advantageous.
Come on Delta, I could see you walking around with one strapped to each leg, Western gunfighter style....
That was almost 40 years ago. That would mean she is pushing 70 is my guess is correct on her age. She's retired now. Here she is enjoying her retirement on the beach!
Rock, I'm not sure how anyone could look at that picture and hit "LIKE". Especially the guy who did! I'll just preserve that young officer looking like she did back in the day, sort of like Julie from the "Mod Squad" (Peggy Lipton).
Great flick! Saw it in the theatres back when it first came out. Now it's NEVER shown. Bummer! I also like your sig.pic. That girl went to a protest and HAD A BLAST!
I just looked at this picture again and I can't speak for any of you, but the guy on the far right looks like a young Jack Webb. Man, if it is, that guy really got around!
A bit before my time but I do watch it on cable now and then. Plus, you know its a good movie when Burt goes undercover as a "moustached" Nun.........
Quincy and Weymouth PD trying to talk a suicidal man off the Fore River Bridge -1993 (unless you can't swim, a jump off the Fore River Bridge isn't going to kill you).
