Police Officers doing good things

Metro's finest doing their usual fine work in 1958.​

My uncle was on the Metro force back then.

Trivia:

1958 was an interesting year in Toronto policing.

The 13 police forces in Metro had only been amalgamated the year before.

In the summer of 1958 ( this appear to have been filmed in the summer of that year ), the chief drove to High Park, parked his car, and committed suicide with his service revolver.

With amalgamation, the force grew in size and complexity, and XXX found himself unable to manage the huge agency and its Byzantine politics.

“The Vancouver Police Department has been recruiting since 1886, and I can honestly say, I think this is the first time that we have hired a brother and sister at the exact same time,” Staff Sgt. Jason Howell told Global News.
