Tuesday August 26 ,2008 TroyRecord Article 100years agoWednesday August 26 , 1908 “The new patrol wagon use by Troy Police is questioned by critics who say it is only used to convey prisoners between the jail and the courthouse and not to take people arrested into the police station .Public Safety Commissioner Mann defends the police use by saying”There are times when someone is taken into custody near the police station and they are walked in, rather than wait for the wagon. Holding a person on a street corner waiting for the wagon attracts a crowd.” Police superintendent Morris Kirkpatrick notes that on night patrols there isn't a driver on duty since the driver is on from 7am to 6pm and recommends that a night driver be hired.
