This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo taken in August, 1955 of former Derby police chief Edward "Eddy" Slezak. He is posing in front of Lee Brothers' Furniture Shop at 57 Elizabeth St.
At the time of the photo, Officer Slezak was still a Sergeant. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1961 and became Police Chief in 1966. He retired in 1973. Slezak was born on December 12,1913 and died on May 17, 1977.
