Officer John H Strack (He is the Officer on the extreme left top row)
His beat for 41 years was walking around Lexington Market. He received many commendations during
his tour of duty and had to shoot 2 robbers who held up the old "May" Company on Eutaw St, by the way both of these guys attended
his funeral and comment how Mr. John squared them away (things have changed over the years).
Officer John Strack’s favorite saying "treat
all people the way you want to be treated and you shall get along fine on the streets".
