AADL Talks To: Peter Stipe
Author and former Ann Arbor policeman Peter Stipe recounts his journey from being a wayward youth growing up in countercultural Ann Arbor to becoming the most decorated member of the Ann Arbor Police Department. Peter shares memories of his time with the AAPD, including harrowing encounters on emergency calls and the many people and events that helped shape his career. Peter also shares his love of local history and discusses the changes he's seen in the city over the years.
Peter's story is detailed in his 2021 memoir, Badge 112.

UM Student Demonstration on First Day of Spring
Year:
1952
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, March 21, 1952
Caption:
STUDENTS STORM DORMITORY: University men students, apparently impelled by the promise of spring, made the rounds of women's dormitories during a noisy seven-hour demonstration last night. At some dormitories they forced their way inside and into the rooms of the occupants. At Martha Cook residence, where these pictures were taken, they failed to make much headway, as girls on the upper floors showered buckets of water on the would-be invaders crowded around the front entrance. A group of city policemen finally intervened when panes of glass in the doors were broken, and the crowd moved on to hunt another "target." (Story on page 13.)
