Welcome to the Pensacola Police History Society’s web page. We are committed to honoring our past and embracing our future! The Pensacola Police Department began on July 19, 1821 when Andrew Jackson appointed James Craig to the position of town constable. Pensacola Police Officers have served with distinction from that moment until this. We honor them with our page!

I am a retired police officer, and now serve as a police academy director. I am married to the former Jerri Crabtree. We have three grown children and seven grandchildren. I have authored fourteen books, all of which are available on Amazon. Most are on the history of Pensacola crime and the police department.
