EARLIER THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

By Bob Walsh


1932 Columbus, Ohio Police Car (a new high tech radio equipped cruiser)

 

On this day in 1933 the Eastchester Police Dept. in New York was the first in this country to have two-way radios installed in their police cars.  For some reason or other I would have guessed late 1930s, though I don't particularly know why.
