You may recall this photograph of Officer Harold Cronquist helping with the school patrol from a previous post.
Officer Cronquist’s two daughters, Lynn and Gail, followed in his footsteps to become officers of the MPD.
Recently, Retired Officer Lynn Cronquist shared a previously-unseen photograph of her father in civilian clothes. It was taken between 1949 and 1950 when he was in Rookie School.
You will note that Officer Cronquist was a sharp-dresser!
Officer Harold Cronquist was well respected and well liked by colleagues and community members. When people who knew him speak of him today they remember him as a great officer and the kind of person they enjoyed being around.
