Today we are sharing a photograph taken around 1970 of City Chemist Dawn Knight.
The Minneapolis Police Department did not at that time have the capability to analyze narcotics for court purposes so the City Chemist’s Office, located in the Public Health Building, performed those tests.
Retired Officers remember Ms. Knight well.
They describe her as being a fun person who was always willing to help and educate.
They recall her as being excellent on the witness stand.
Retired Officers remember Ms. Knight as a person whom everyone admired, both professionally and personally.
