LAPD Bulletins

My latest column for The Times is about Joan Renner and her project to digitize the daily LAPD bulletins from 1907 to 1957.

    Several tries had been made to establish a LAPD Museum but always met with failure. The present LAPD Historical Society has met with great success and this is another achievement attributed to them. Visit the museum and see for yourselves.
