Biographical / Historical

the city grid. It has since grown to include a police chief, more than 1,000 officers and other personnel, and six jurisdictions.
Scope and Contents
The Sacramento Police Department Collection contains a wide range of material dating from 1860 to 1993, spanning most of the
department's history. The majority of the collection is made up of mug books that date from 1860 to 1949 and jail registers
that date from 1867 to 1973. The rest of the collection consists of other logbooks, various administrative records, and photographs.
More than half of the photographs are portraits or group shots of the police force that date from the first half of the 20th
century.
Series 1. Mug books, 1860-1949.
This series contains mug books created by the SPD from 1860 to 1949. The books vary in the information they contain beyond
the arrestees' photographs, but common data includes names and aliases, physical descriptions, crimes committed, criminal
histories, judgments, and death dates. While most of the books are arranged by arrest number and date, several books are dedicated
to specific crimes, including safe-cracking, forgery, and pickpocketing, and specific categories of people, including political
dissidents, union members, juvenile offenders, female offenders, and various ethnic groups. One book is simply labeled "Degenerates."
There is a separate index called the City Gallery Index for most of the mug books that date from 1860 to 1921. This series
also includes books of wanted bulletins from around the country that date from 1899 to 1932, plus a folder of loose wanted
bulletins, and bulletins mounted on two masonite boards. There is a separate index for some of the wanted books that date
from 1910 to 1922. Additionally, this series includes copies of other West Coast police departments and prisons' mug books
that date from 1902 to 1934. SPD Captain Max P. Fisher, a leader in police identification techniques, was instrumental in
the hand-copying of mug books from other cities and prisons in order to create a criminal card file database. Copied mug books
are from San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Stockton, Long Beach, Denver, Portland, Tacoma, and Carson City, and
Folsom and San Quentin state prisons. There also are indexes for some of the San Francisco, San Diego, and Oakland mug books.
This series is arranged chronologically.
Series 2. Jail registers and other logbooks, 1867-1973.
This series is made up of jail registers and other logs created by the SPD. The majority of volumes consist of Sacramento
city jail registers dating from 1867 to 1970 (plus the register from April to July 1973). Registers include the prisoner's
name, charge, date of arrest, and bond or deposit amount, the actions taken, and the name of the arresting officer. Jail registers
through 1940 have been digitized and are available for viewing here: https://archive.org/details/cshjailregisters.
Other volumes include records of arrest from 1956, arrest number assignment logs from 1917 to 1923, insane commitments from
1927 to 1950, evidence records from 1933 to 1962, and the desk sergeant's daily record book from 1937 to 1938. Also included
is a San Francisco jail register index from 1939 to 1946, but CSH does not have the corresponding registers in its collection.
This series is arranged alphabetically.
Series 3. Administrative material, 1919-1993.
This series consists of a variety of administrative records collected or created by the police department. These include material
like police training manuals and handbooks; a large run of Speak Out memos, which was a program that gave police personnel
the opportunity to provide ideas and feedback in order to improve communication and processes within the department; citizens
committee reports on police practices; James Babcock's original artwork from 1970s
Sacramento Bee police-related cartoons; 1920s city ordinance books and police department rules and regulations; American Parkway emergency
access maps; department restructuring project materials; and other items. Of note in this series are records from World War
II that document the SPD's impounding of "alien enemy" cameras, radios, and firearms by order of the U.S. Department of Justice
at the outbreak of the war. Almost all of the impounds are from people of Japanese descent. Records include property receipt
books, letters from the property owners asking for their items back at the end of the war, and correspondence between those
individuals, the SPD, and the federal government. The records show that after the war it was difficult for people to recover
their belongings even with a receipt because the SPD was not immediately authorized to return them and eventually turned all
the property over to the federal government. The correspondence shows Sacramento Chief of Police Alex K. McAllister's frustration
with the federal government's handling of the situation. This series also includes two videotapes: one showing footage of
the Rooney facility groundbreaking ceremony and a police and firemen's mass, and one showing the police chief at a city council
meeting on assault weapons. This series is arranged alphabetically.
Series 4. Photographs, 1894-1988.
This series is made up of a range of photographs taken of or by the SPD. The majority are portraits of police chiefs and members
of the force from 1895 to 1974. There are several collages of police force portraits dating from between circa 1915 and 1924
(some of these collages have been deconstructed for preservation purposes), and a panoramic group shot from circa 1919. Also
included are Baconbombers Pig Bowl team photos, a photo of the circa 1925 police baseball team, FBI National Academy class
pictures from circa 1940 to 1960, and photos of police officers in action taken for marketing purposes. This series is arranged
alphabetically.
Series 5, Artifacts, ca. 1940-1995.
The collection contains artifacts, which have not been formally cataloged, but have been listed in an inventory. Artifacts
include around thirty-two uniform pieces, three hats, one helmet, eight badges, eleven bars and pins, four protective vests,
nine batons and other weapons, a gas mask, leg irons, handcuffs, epaulets, and a fingerprint camera.
