The Meridian Police Department collection looks at the history of law enforcement in Meridian and their contributions to the community over the years. The collection ranges from 1903 to current and includes an overview of Meridian marshal and police chiefs, development of community programs such as Police Activities League (PALs) and Citizens on Patrol, the opening of the K9 facility in 2006, and a special contribution of digital images from the Chief Gene Hiner scrapbook that was donated to the Meridian Police Department from his family.
