- Description:
- This collection contains materials collected by Alfred Seymour related to his career in the Detroit Police Department and Lansing Police Department. While in Detroit, he provided security services for the evangelist Billy Sunday at a revival meeting in Buffalo, New York, in about 1917. Materials related to this event are included, as are extensive materials about his activities with the International Chiefs of Police, including correspondence with and about J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. One collection highlight is Seymour's personal statement reporting his activities during the "Labor Holiday" in Lansing on July 7, 1937. A crowd threatened to attack his jail to break out eight persons held there for strike-related activities. Seymour describes his isolation after failing to obtain support from the Mayor of Lansing, the Michigan State Police, the Governor, prosecutors, and judges. The incident was ultimately resolved without bloodshed. Seymour also collected materials from his involvement with the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police. The collection includes newspaper clippings, photographs, memorabilia, and two personal scrapbooks.
