Team Policing — Women’s Crusade Program and Luncheon

June 1977

Police representatives and residents at the Team Policing program; Sergeant Robert Alexander speaks.

The Women’s Crusade Against Crime and the St. Louis Police Department, 7th District, recently co-sponsored a program and luncheon to share with interested members of the community and with police officials from other districts the success story of Team Policing, which has been a pilot project in the 7th District for just over a year. The audience included all four members of the Police Board, Col. Suzanne Hart, Col. Clarence Hunter, and (pictured at the left of the picture) Col. John Schicker and Col. Donald Whaley. After greetings from Mayor Conway, 7th District Captain Gay Carraway, and Col. SaLees Seddon, several officers described their experiences in and attitudes toward Team Policing. Speaking here is Sgt. Robert Alexander. Speakers seated are (left to right) Lt. Edward Longinette, Sgt. Lawrence Holloway, Det. Jesse McClanahan, Officer Rose Peoples, and Officer Frank Ginther.
