Somewhat OT Buchner N284 question
 

Posted By: <b>Thomas</b><p>Hi,<BR><BR> I saw on EBAY a few N284's that picture Police Officers. I was wondering if anyone has(or can point me to) a checklist of the Police officers with their names and towns/districts?<BR> My father is a retired Police officer and collects some police memorabilia. I never knew about these before and thought it would be kinda neat to find some of them for him. I'm interested in the towns on the cards cause I am curious if there are any from my area of NJ. On EBAY i noticed one was from Jersey City.<BR><BR>Thanks for any help,<BR>Thomas

He says there are 103 police inspectors included in the set, but doesn't provide a checklist. Good book, anyway.<BR><BR>The N288 Buchner set (Police Inspectors & Captains & Chiefs of the Fire Departments) is even better, I think - there are 95 cards in a larger format. I don't know if Jersey City is represented, but it's a decent bet, since it's close to New York. The scan below is of Chief George Westbrook of Montclair.<BR><BR><img src="http://users.rcn.com/b.cornell/images/n288/g_westbrook.jpg">
