What's that about any publicity is good publicity?

This is probably not the way Officer George Simpson of the Galveston Police Department wanted to see his name in The Police News. It is amazing how quickly he was indicted, considering there are some inmates at the Galveston County Jail who still haven't been indicted months after their arrest.

A little island history

While waiting to talk to the head of the Warrant Division at the Galveston Police Department this morning I happened upon some display cases of police memorabilia that I found fascinating.

This is the old "mug book." I love the hat in the booking photo on the upper left.

These are an assortment of uniform patches. My favorite is the "All American City" in the middle.

This is a collection of detective badges.

Here is some assorted "office equipment." Check out the movie camera on the right.
