The above photograph of San Diego Deputy City Marshals was taken prior to the May 16, 1889 formation of a city police force under a &amp;#8220;Freeholder&amp;#8217;s Charter.&amp;#8221; Only two of the men shown here were still on the police department&amp;#8217;s assignment sheet for October 1889, four months after Marshal Joseph Coyne (below) was made San Diego&amp;#8217;s first Chief of Police.
