I am familiar with many of those in the front row but not all.From what I can remember, left to right: Milan Plavsic, Chet Hill, x, x,x, Fred Genske (Chief of Police, Capt. Fred Bossman, x, x. Keith Althaus?, Louis Reinke, Tony Long, Harry Cole. No, the book is not available, except that one was sold on e-bay a couple of weeks ago. There were l,000 copies printed and I am down to three copies left unless the Hoyt Library has a copy or two. If you needed a copy, I would be glad to photocopy it for you. It wouldn't have the same form (but that's not very good) but it would have the information. - Best wishes, Freeman Coats

Freeman, I'm sorry I missed it on ebay:~( Perhaps another will show up. I have two uncles Alvin Long and Frank Kempt who are listed as Saginaw policeman in 1933 so would enjoy having a copy of the book.

I don't remember the name and the copy of the letter is somewhere in that rat's nest that I call files. Was that you? I remember Frank Kempt but I can't identify him in the picture and I'm not positive about Tony Long. Looking more at the photo, I believe the man behind Chief Genske (the man with the stars on his lapel) and over his right shoulder is Bill Yule, who was later Chief. Bossman is to our right of Genske and over his right shoulder is Sgt. Warren Brown. Warren was a Detective for many years and had the hobby of pistol marksmanship. He was an expert and won many trophies. Paul Kruske is the second from the right end and the man over his head is Walter Germain. Walter claimed the old title of Inspector. No one else had it but he went by that name. He was in charge of the Juvenile Division. He was a follower of Freud's psychology and had somewhat of a wide reputation. He wrote a lot of articles on Juvenile Crime. The picture was taken in front of the old City Hall. It burned in 1934. The Police Dept. was in the basement.
