Abstract:
City of La Crosse Police Department records dating from 1871-1977 include journals and logs such as account books (1929-1941), ambulance log (1926-1946), criminal docket records (1933-1935), a log of jail lodgers (1928-1932; 1935-1941), timebooks kept for payroll purposes (1913-1915; 1947-1952), and a record of street lighting (1896-1907).

Reports include daily reports and arrest logs (1898-1954), stolen and lost goods (1871-1908), and several comparison studies of motor vehicle related arrests and accidents. Two external reports (1954 and 1977), are investigations of the department. Miscellaneous materials include a volume of dog licenses or fines (1917), a guest book of an hotel on Pearl Street called the American House (1907-1908), and criminal mugshots (1920s). Lastly there is also a small file on Milton L. Beck, a local man killed in a railway accident in Iowa in 1917.
