We have searched through family records for his picture(s) but all seem to be lost in time. One day, it would be wonderful to see all of the officers lost in service here, name(s) added to the National Police Officers Memoral in Washington D.C. We have a list of officers in our family who have served in a Police uniform, my uncles. Chief George Hartford, in New Mexico and Chief Harold H. Hartford, in VA and others who felt the call to duty and served with honor. Only GOD knows what calls them to serve and protect. I learned that my father served as a special officer when needed to wash a police car, clean weapons or provide extra help when needed, my father Arvil Hartford worked and retired from ABC theater and then worked as a Bank security officer until his death in Feb 2004 at 86 years.
