"Police Unit In 1st Ruling," Times-Union, July 18, 1963
Primary tabs
Below is a scanned image of an article addressing the fate of the first complaint brought to the Police Advisory Board that was ruled outside of its jurisdiction and dismissed on July 17, 1963. The clipping can be found at the Local History Department of the Monroe County Public Library Downtown Branch. "Police Unit In 1st Ruling," was published in the Times-Union on July 18, 1963.
While the Police Advisory Board became law in March of 1963, the Locust Club police union did everything in its power to thwart it from actually accomplishing anything. Eventually, the PAB was defunded in 1968 and abolished in 1970 by a Republican Party-lead Rochester city government.
