FORTY-TWO YEARS AN OFFICER
John R. Dowd of Provincial Force Superannuated
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 5 may 1921]
John R. Dowd, of Bridgeburg, has resigned his position as provincial police officer, and has been placed on the superannuated list.
Mr. Dowd, well deserves his retirement, for her had a longer period of active service as a police officer than any other officer in Ontario. On moving to Welland from Port Robinson 42 years ago, he was appointed county constable, and was later for many years high county constable, which position he held until his appointment to the provincial force almost sixteen years ago.
Forty-two years is a long period of public service, and John R. Dowd severs his long career as an officer of the law without a speck on his escutcheon.
