Every spring the clerks at Headquarters saw to it that Brownie was bathed, clipped for the summer and provided with a dog license, often Brownie had her hair cut to make her resemble a lion. In the above pic Browie had given birth to four puppies (circa 1975). Approx. one year later Brownie was found a little after midnight on January 26, 1976 lying in the 700 block of Fallsway, the apparent victim of a hit and run accident. She was taken back to the District and buried the following day at the Dulaney Valley Pet Cemetery. Although Brownie was not an “official” member of the Department, she was buried in the Baltimore Police K-9 section of the Cemetery.

Central District personnel were saddened recently to learn of the death of Brownie, the Mascot of the District.
Brownie came to the Central District in mid 1968. She was found bruised and battered one rainy day under a vehicle parked on the Central District ramp. The dog, a skinny brown puppy was brought inside where she was dried, fed and sent on his way. Day after day however, Brownie would reappear at the door for her free hand-out. Eventually Brownie found her way inside and had her own food and water dish “issued” to her, thereby becoming the unofficial guardian of the Stationhouse.
Many officers began their careers under the watchful eye and wagging tail of Brownie. Although she lived in the Central District, she was known and loved by people throughout the Department. Brownie showed no difference for rank. When she was lying near her post at the front door, she would move for no one.

Effective 9 AM – 29 April 1966 – Interim Police Commissioner George M. Gelston ordered all officers to begin wearing a name plate for identification. An idea the State Police started 7 years earlier to the day on 29 April, 1959. At the time Commissioner Gelston felt it would improve the image of the police department. As a side note, Patrolman Edward Campbell would be the first City Officer to wear such name plate as he posed for the Baltimore Sun a day earlier on 28 April 1966
