Autoren-Porträt von Edward J. Allen
Edward Joseph Allen (November 13, 1907 - January 6, 1990) was a law officer, author and poet. Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, he began his career as a patrolman and later worked with the FBI during World War II to assist Federal agents on investigations concerning sabotage, espionage, and subversion. After the war, he attended the FBI National Academy and in 1948 became Chief of Police of Youngstown, Ohio, during which time he teamed with a reform-minded mayor to drive the Mafia influence from that city. His efforts won him national recognition and Youngstown the 'All-American City' Award in 1950. He went on to become chief of Ohio's Department of Liquor Control and in 1955 was selected from a nationwide field of candidates as chief of the Santa Ana Police Department, where he served with distinction until his retirement in August 1972. Allen died in 1990 at the age of 82.
