Sgt. John J. McGee was appointed a police constable in 1905, and when Cranston incorporated as a city in 1910, he was one of the original ten patrolmen appointed to the newly established permanent police department. He patrolled the Auburn section by bicycle in the early 1900s. He continued serving the citizens of Cranston until his retirement on September 1, 1939.
Rest in peace.
