On March 24, 1941 Officer John Hickey, behind the wheel of the Tacoma Police department's new "sound" equipped patrol car, warned two absentminded pedestrians that they were about to step into danger - and break the law. To launch the Tacoma Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored spring traffic safety week campaign, the specially equipped car cruised the streets of Tacoma warning both pedestrians and drivers of their impending violations. Reading the paper are: (l to r) George Wilson, chairman of the Junior Chamber of Commerce safety drive, and Bill Geppert. (T.Times 3/26/1941 p.15)
