Police Downtown

Police downtown.  I plan to use these for my War of the Worlds scenarios for about half of the 20th Century.  They would be the first line of defense in the US as it does take some time to mobilize the US Armor or National Guard; typically a couple days.

Riot gun at the ready.

Pistol at the low ready.

Aiming the pistol, with the Paddy Wagon.

Night stick.  The day stick looks just like it but is shorter.  Police in uniforms as would be worn from as early as the 1920s to as late as the 1960s, but most common just before and after WWII.  Especially in the Eastern USA.

In the United States at least 100 police officers have been killed in the line of duty every year since 1945.
