Introduction by Jim Casey
San Francisco Police Officer Calvin Chow has vacationed in Europe for many years and began bringing home police hats from cities he visited. He is now one of the
leading collectors of these unique and interesting symbols of law enforcement. I asked Cal to photograph his impressive collection and allow us to share it with you. Enjoy your visit and check back often as this is only a small sampling of
Cal's collection and we will be adding photos on a regular basis.
