Surnames: MEYER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yl.2ADE/2192.1 Message Board Post: There is a very brief history of the DPD on the Davenport city site, Go to City of Davenport, Departments, and the P.D. I knew Carl Meyer. He was before my time. I went on the job 1964. Someone ought to write a definative history someday; I believe it would be very interesting. When I served as a Desk Sgt. on 3rd shift in quiet times I would go through the old Police Blotters. What reading! Where do you live and how do you connect directly to Carl? I am now a retired minister living in Alton, IL.
