The Baldwin Historical Society brings you another trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past.

Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question:

Standing in front of a new Chrysler Scout patrol car in November 1949 are, left to right, Baldwin Township police Captain Charles Powell, Lt. Carl Schultz, Chief John Weis and patrolmen Charles Colosi and Edward Pethia.

At that time, the force consisted of five full-time officers, including the chief, and three deskmen—Frank Etzel, Thomas Cagney and Richard Muse.

Chief Weis was very proud of his department, pointing out that the large municipality was virtually free of crime. The department responded to about 90 calls per month.

In the background is the former Baldwin Township Municipal Building.

Where was this police station located? We will reveal the answer on Tuesday.
