The photo is from the 1950's of a military burial at the Veteran's Cemetery with a line of SPD officer as an honor guard.
I'm trying to determine who the funeral was for. Possibly a Korean War soldier.

The Police Department is having some renovations done, with new paint and carpet. These are the original 1969 diagrams of HQ showing each floor. Almost everything has changed over the years.
The basement shows a shooting range and jail.
The 1st floor has an open lobby, a radio dispatch room, and a training room. Dispatch and Training now have their own buildings.
The 2nd floor was mostly the Detective Division. Only the Chief's office remains the same.
The diagrams show the basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, and the overall area of the building. Also, a photo of the dedication ceremony, with a couple of newspaper articles.

Local historian Wayne Glenn located this photo of City of Springfield Parking Control Officers in 1964. Most of the parking around the city square had parking meters. These ladies wrote on average 33 parking tickets a day. Check out the articles on them and their ticket writing.
The photo was colorized.
