Los Angeles City Marshal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Los Angeles City Marshal was the law enforcer of Los Angeles in the city's early years. He was responsible for being the city's dog catcher and collecting taxes. He was paid 2.5% of all tax monies (in 1875 it totaled to $115 per month). In 1872, a city ordinance was passed which required the city marshal to register and license dogs.
Past City Marshals include:
- William C. Warren - 1st city marshal. Shot in 1870 by a fellow cop.
- Jack Whaling - the 2nd City Marshal. Shot in 1853
