| From the GCPD Facebook Page "It had been a while since our last department photo. We wanted to have a little fun with this one. Traditionally, we have always been in our dress uniforms and in formal poses. Interesting fact: The backdrop was a photo John Ridgeway actually took at the Hot Strip of US Steel in Granite City. Don’t worry, no officers were incinerated during the making of this photo. Our photos were actually taken in front of the old Kmart building. John pieced us all in after the fact." |
