Lafayette boy named Lafayette's honorary police chief
A 20 year old Charles Bressler who has muscular dystrophy was made Lafayette's first honorary chief of police after officers learned of his keen interest. He monitors calls by day via recorder when asleep, and guards wear a gold badge to honor his dedication to policing. Martin Krall helps neighbors by calling ambulances after spotting a break in on a porch. Miss Kate Herndon volunteers at hospitals and the Red Cross. Al Hisey builds chimney covers after a string of failed ventures, turning a single suggestion into a growing business with eight workers.
