This scrapbook shows Gen. Strickler as someone who is strict on crime. It provides information during the time that Gen. Strickler was the Commissioner of the Lancaster City Police Department. During this time, he demoted many members of the force and “crakced down” on crime. He promoted a “War on Speeders” and showed little mercy on criminals. Strickler was an avid supporter of prohibition as well.
