The Euclid Beach Park Police were established by the park's owners to enforce the park's strict rules, including the prohibition of alcohol. The park police also enforced racial segregation in the park. This image, probably from the 1910s, shows police chief Jack McDonald posing with his nightstick. In 1946, the Euclid Beach Police scuffled with patrons flouting the park's segregation rules on several occasions. This culminated during the night of August 23, when two Euclid Beach police officers fought with two off-duty black Cleveland police officers. | Source: Cleveland State University.
