New Police Car Design - The latest thing in Ann Arbor police patrol car emblems is this shield design, embossed in gold on the sides of the car. Only one car, the Police Department's newest, is so decorated. The others have the more familiar gold lettering without the shield. Patrolman Clare M. LeFerier is in the car.

AADL Talks to Doug Harvey

In this episode, former Washtenaw County Sheriff Doug Harvey shares his memories of the turbulent 1960s in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. He recalls some of the personal, political, and law enforcement challenges he encountered during his years as sheriff - from the 1966 UFO sightings and the South University Riots, to the Coed murders and the John Norman Collins case. He also responds to some of the controversy surrounding his reputation and he speaks candidly about the community leaders and colleagues he admired during these years - and those he did not.
