My name is Pete Keiner.
I am the Grandson of Sgt Harold Schweithelm #34 of the Long Island State
Parkway Police. I have several historic photos of his experience in the
department. I would be more than happy to share some of those photos if
you have an interest in them. I have a multi generational patch
collection, as well as my grandfathers badge progression from your
department as well. I have his uniform coat, and hat as well. If you
have any interest in learning more about what I have, please feel free to
contact me.
I was fortunate to
follow in my grandfathers footsteps and became a Police Officer in
Minnesota.
Thanks,
Pete Keiner

That's Harold Schweithelm on the right.
On the left,
John Phelan.
the Park Commission coordinator with the tow trucks?
And while I can still remember his partner's name,
although we don't have an image of him
was Bill Robbins.

Jack Murphy on the left,
Harold Schweithelm on the right.

I would say that this picture
was taken from the second floor of
the old Valley Stream Barracks,
with the officer stopping east bound traffic
on Southern State Parkway.
The barracks was just a little east of the
New York City Line,
at the Elmont Road exit.

I'll work on the names later.

In the middle Harold Schweithelm
and by his left arm is Ray Ziegler.

I will have to work on the names. Later.

I don't know who this is.
Picture is captioned "Red"
