PAGE 7 Walter A. Shay Jr. (Born: 06-29-1866 - Died: 08-02-1931) Chief of Police At the time that Mayor Barton and the councilmen were appointing the city's new police force, Walter A. Shay, their choice for Chief of Police, still had approximately two years left in his elected position as San Bernardino Town Marshal. The mayor and council would have to wait until Shay's term expired in 1907 before they could appoint him as the city's first full-time Chief of Police. Walter Shay was born on June 29, 1866 in San Bernardino. In 1892, he married Matilda "Tillie" McCoy and they lived at 495 N. "C" Street (now Mayfield Avenue). After trying his hand at farming, Mr. Shay began his law enforcement career as a San Bernardino County deputy sheriff in 1899. In 1903, he was elected to a term as Town Marshall for the City of San Bernardino. He held this position until being named Chief of Police.
