Envelope reads, "Chief of Police Petersen." One man sitting in a chair with two men leaning over his shoulder looking at a newspaper in his lap. The man sitting is wearing eyeglasses, a suit with a vest and tie, and a hat. The man on his left is similarly dressed. And the other man is wearing a cardigan sweater with a tie and a police hat with a badge on the brim. Behind the men is a brick wall with gages and dials attached and two chalk boards with writing on them hanging on it. There is a scratch in the emulsion across the face of the man on the right side of the negative.
