Gainesville PD searches for pieces of past

GAINESVILLE - The search is on for the Gainesville Police Department...not so much for criminals, but for historical items.

Captain Chad White says the department is about three months away from moving into new headquarters on Queen City Parkway, and the department wants some items to display in the new trophy case designed for the front of the building.

"The Gainesville Police Department is looking for historical items, such as uniforms, hats, handcuffs, gun belts, firearms or any other historical equipment," said White.

White said they already have police items dating back to the '50s and '60s, and even have some photos from the 1890's.

Anyone who has historical Gainesville Police items should contact White at the department at 770-531-2666.
