Sault Police Seek Korah Township Police Badge
The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is looking for a piece of local police history.
On January 1, 1965, Tarentorus Township Police Department and Korah Township Police Force amalgamated with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Force, as it was then called. Today, the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service wants to honour this history by finding the missing piece of its plaque – a Korah Township Police badge.
“As an organization we are proud of our origins,” says Hugh Stevenson, Chief of Police. “We do not have many artifacts from before the amalgamation. We want to display all three of the uniform crests, along with the badges of each police organization, as a tribute to the members of the three agencies.”
Although many historical items belonging to the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service are on display at the Sault Ste. Marie Museum, this plaque is showcased inside the Police Services Building.
Sault Police are requesting your help to find a Korah Township Police Badge.
Do you have a family member who was a member of Korah Township Police? Do you collect policing memorabilia? Did your family live in Korah Township in the 1960s or before?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, please go through your items to see if you have a Korah Township Police badge.
If you have a badge and are willing to donate it to the Sault Police, please contact Lincoln Louttit, Manager – Corporate Communications, via email, l.louttit@ssmps.org or by calling 705-949-6300.
