- William C. Warren (Los Angeles City Marshal)
William C. Warren (?-1870) was the first regularly employed law-enforcement officer in the city of Los Angeles. As city marshal beginning in 1869, he served as head of the local police force of six officers in a city that had about 5,600 residents. The city granted Warren $50 to furnish his headquarters and $25 a month for rent. He also was dog catcher and tax collector, being paid 2Ѕ percent of all the tax money he collected.

Warren was shot and killed in 1870 by one of his deputies, Joe Dye, as the two were engaged in a bitter argument over a reward. Dye won an acquittal but the disposition of the reward is unknown (R. D. Wade at [http://www.intranet.csupomona.edu/~reshaffer/lawx.htm] .
