Marietta Police Embark on History Project

The department wants the public's assistance.

The Marietta Police Department is looking for old photos of police cars, and the agency is hoping the public can help them.

"As we dig through the hallowed keepsakes of our own past," said Officer David Baldwin, the spokesman for the Marietta Police Department, "we realize that some of the best documentations of our history lie in the books and pictures that are preserved in the albums of our citizens." 

In addition to building a gallery of historic pictures at the department, the department hopes to recreate and restore an authentic antique police car "for all generations to see," he said.
