EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1940, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial training session at the newly installed target range in the sub-basement of the Treasury Building in Washington, D. C. The image showcases three dedicated officers of the White House Police - R. P. Hallion, E. L. Warden, and J. J. Cash - as they practice their shooting skills under the watchful eye of Frank J. Wilson, Chief of the U. S. Secret Service. The scene is filled with intensity as these men don their crisp uniforms and take aim at their targets with determination etched on their faces. The mid-century lighting casts dramatic shadows across the room, emphasizing its underground setting while adding an air of secrecy to this essential training ground. As Officer Hallion steadies his revolver and Officers Warden and Cash prepare for their turn, Chief Wilson stands tall in his suit at center stage, closely observing each officer's technique with a discerning eye. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the dedication and commitment exhibited by law enforcement officials during this era. It reminds us that even behind closed doors or beneath government buildings lie hidden worlds where those entrusted with our safety tirelessly hone their skills to protect us all.
