The Finney County Historical Museum has opened a new short-term exhibit in the Front Door Gallery, marking the 100th anniversary of the Garden City Police Department. Entitled “A Century of Service,” the display features a collection of artifacts loaned by the police department, a few dating back more than a century, as well as a collection of 16 black-and-white photographs chronicling highlights and milestones from a century of law enforcement and assistance to the community. While Garden City relied on various watchmen, constables and marshals during the first four decades after it was founded, a full police department was established in 1923 by Chief Lee Richardson.
