The First
Police Station
1863 marked the beginning
of the first organized
Police Force in the city.
The council named a captain
and three patrolmen to serve
from twilight to daybreak.
On this site was located
the first city Police
Station. It contained three
iron cages on the first
floor devoted to male
offenders with the upper
being reserved for
female law violators.
