The fact that he had a earlier ailment, which was an internal hernia. He was hired, accepted as one of Richmond's finest. The police forces in Indiana might be notoriously underpaid, and they were at the time. Those drawbacks could not stop…

But this is at Indiana University. He found the director in his office and appealed to him. How do you go about picking a police chief? The director thought Cutter was joking. In Indiana, chiefs of police were prime patronage jobs. Until we…

People in Richmond were Republicans and they just installed their first Democrat. So where do you go? When he was convinced that Cutter was serious, the director dispatched a team of researchers to Richmond. The mayor rented a hotel room an…

Lewis Gibbs owed his job to Dan Mederone, and he realized on a day like this much more. Gibbs had applied to the police force six times, and each time he had left his political affiliation blank. Someone in the department didn't like that, …
