An unofficial site of the Baltimore Police Department which depicts the history of the
department as told by Retired Officer William M. Hackley, who is solely responsible for its content. The thoughts and use
of certain items, terms, sound, and implications are not necessarily those that may be the same as the Baltimore Police Department,
as an official governmental agency.
The sole intent of this site is to Honor the Department and the fine men and women who
serve the citizens of Baltimore City.
This site is dedicated to the Fallen Heroes who in the course of their performance of
their duties were called upon to make the Ultimate Sacrifice.
As you look through the many pages of this site you will see the Baltimore Police Department
from its infancy showing the crude way of policing to the modern highly efficient department that it is today.
Enjoy this site for what it is, my rendition of the proud history of the Baltimore Police
Department.

Baltimore's Finest
December 1975
The following anonymous letter was received by the Police Commissioner.
Dear Commissioner Pomerleau,
We thought you might like to know how some of us feel about the men you have
in your Department.
AS WE SEE A "COP"
A guy who will defend a person's life, even if it means giving up his own;
One who stands ten feet tall in the eyes of a little old lady, who is afraid,
and just wants a little reassurance, or
A girl who needs help to change a flat tire; always conducting himself
as a gentleman;
A human being, who has been called every name under the sun, too often,
instead of being thanked and praised for just being there when he is needed;
He can be gentle with a lost child - kind and compassionate - yet, he can
be as tough and forceful as is necessary, when the occasion calls for it; he's quite a guy!
He lays his life on the line every day, and, 9 times out of 10, all he
EVER gets for it, is his paycheck, which is never enough;
A guy who can haul you over for speeding, read the riot act to you, and,
in the next breath, let you go without a ticket;
He's a special breed!
A guy who can polish off a pitcher of beer without batting an eye, but
is trying to watch his weight; who lives life to the fullest, who is proud of his uniform and his job;
A person who, somehow, can adjust to crazy hours - nights and days that
sometimes fly by, sometimes never end;
A person who has feet of clay (don't we all? ) but whose mind and heart
are finely tuned like a Rolls Royce;
Whoever it was who said these men are "Baltimore's Finest" must have known
the same cops we do;
Knowing that these kind of men are on the job give people like us
a feeling of pride and security. Our hats off to all of you!
"A POLICE OFFICER'S SERENITY PRAYER"
"God grant me the serenity to accept the dangers of the job, courage to do what I can
to protect law and order, and the wisdom to put my safety into your hands."

Since my retirement I have become increasingly interested in the History of the
Baltimore Police Department. I am also involved in preserving our past & Honoring our Fallen Officers.
I have established a Baltimore Police Museum containing numerous items of the Department
from times long past. Please see my CONTACT section.
I have restored a 1968 Chevrolet Baltimore City Police Traffic Car # 9610 ( the

POLICE
OFFICER SURVIVAL CREED
The will to survive, to survive
the attack, must be uppermost in my mind. For the one who lives through a fight is better off than the one who does not. Therefore,
preparation and not paranoia is the key to my survival. To survive I must be aware, be alert, be confident, be deceptive,
be decisive, and be ready. I must expect the unexpected and do the unexpected.
When faced with violent assault, my life
depends upon my reaction without hesitation. There is no time to ponder because to ponder is to possibly perish. My response,
if attacked, must not be fear but aggressiveness. I must block out all thoughts of my own peril and think only of stopping
the assailant.
My prize in personal defense is my life. The perfect fight is one that is over before the loser realizes
what is happening. The perfect defense is a counterattack that succeeds before the enemy can attack again. Therefore, if I
am assaulted, I will retaliate instantly. I will be sudden and quick. I will be fast, not fair. Speed is my salvation.
If
my attacker knocks me down, I will fight back against the odds and get up off the ground. I will seize the initiative and
take every advantage. My concern is to stay alive. I won't hold back.
If I find myself under lethal attack, I won't be
kind. I will be harsh and tough. If I must shoot, I will shoot with precision and shoot to stop. If I must use my hands, I
will use them with all the strength I possess and more. When I strike, I will strike hard; I will kick, punch, and do what
must be done to survive. I will strike no more after my attacker is incapable of further action, but I will see that he is
stopped.
Above all, I won't give up and I will make it. I will not die in the streets, or in an alley, or in any other
part of the concrete jungle. I will survive; not just by good luck and good fortune, but by my skills.
If I adhere to
these basic principles of survival and adhere to the attitude that is suggested in them, as a police officer, I will greatly
enhance and perfect my skills in utilizing good and safe practices, tactics, and techniques.
ALWAYS GO HOME
