Description
Glen Woolf works at Fort Worth (Texas) City Police Station. Day after day he listens as anxious parents and relatives some to him, hoping he can find their loved ones. He takes their reports, including a complete description of the person who is missing and the circumstances under which he left, and inside five minutes every policeman on duty hears the report and starts a search. The detective office, in which Woolf works under Chief Grant, keeps a copy of the report and gives a carbon to the police radio dispatcher, who broadcasts the description to police patrol cars. The system works. Almost daily some missing person is found within an hour or two after he is reported. Persons of all ages are included in the reports given to Woolf. In this picture, Woolf is sitting at desk typing on a typewriter. He is also smoking a pipe, The desk has a rotary phone on it. There are file cabinets behind him. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition, November 2, 1944.
