"A policeman's lot is not a happy one.” Perhaps our speaker, Hazelwood Chief of Police Carl Wolf, will let us know if that is true. Without doubt the job is a lot more complex than in the days of Gilbert and Sullivan, as a look at some of Chief Wolf’s professional activities reveals: Commissioner of the Greater St. Louis Regional Justice Information System, Chairman of the North County Drug Task Force, Chairman of the Regional Computer Crimes Education Task Force, Chairman of the North County Municipal Police Chiefs Violent Crime Task Force, Chairman of the Missouri Police Chiefs Legislative Committee, Director of the Greater St. Louis Area Major Case Squad. This is certain to be a fascinating talk!
