What a time that was.
Thanks for the memory's.

 

From the Wiki:
The first police car was a wagon run by electricity fielded on the streets of Akron, Ohio, in 1899. The first operator of the police patrol wagon was Akron Police officer Louis Mueller, Sr. It could reach 16 mph and travel 30 mi. before its battery needed to be recharged. The car was built by city mechanical engineer Frank Loomis. The $2,400 vehicle was equipped with electric lights, gongs, and a stretcher. The car's first assignment was to pick up a drunken man at the junction of Main and Exchange streets.

I work in the Akron/Canton areas on an ambulance and can tell you from first hand experience.....there are still drunkards at Main and Exchange St.'s.
