Captain Mike Scholl
All Policemen from the top to the bottom, real Pride, Integrity, Guts. From the 70s these officers made a distinct difference in the effectiveness of the Police Dept. Always on their toes and at the top of their profession, ready at a moment's notice to give whatever necessary to serve and protect the citizens of Utica. Led by Capt. Michael Scholl and Sgt. Hank LaFlair.
A little known fact about Hank, after he went on to become a lieutenant, one night while on duty he discovered a fire that had erupted in the locker room. He successfully evacuated the building, called the fire department, then made sure everyone was out of the building. He later was instrumental in convincing the administration of the need for an emergency fire escape from the upstairs communications center and Matron's quarter's.
For there was only one way in and one way out at the time from those area's. Through his persistence, shortly thereafter a fire escape was erected. Up till then there was a real possibility of becoming trapped in those quarters and a fire escape was the only solution to protect the safety of the personnel who worked and were in those un-escapable upstairs quarters. This is a little piece of trivia for those who are now working up there and do have an alternative escape route.
