Interior of the new quarters of the Denton Police Department which was in the City Hall Annex, just west of the City Hall (West) and facing Cedar Street.

Luther Allen, worked for the Denton Police Department from 1933-1941 and the Denton County Sheriff's Department from 1941-1946, before running unsuccessfully for sheriff in 1945. He would rejoin the Denton Police Department as a detective until his death in 1962.
