Volume 1 Number 2 of the RMD Newsletter carried the artwork for the new Division logo. Here is an excerpt from the Editorial Page: 

"On the cover, for the first time, is the emblem officially adopted by the officers of the Rocky Mountain Chapter. The art work surrounding the Official International Association for Identification emblem, creates for us an emblem that is significant for both Colorado and Wyoming. The evergreen and Aspen trees in the foreground, backed by the beautiful, snow covered mountains, is the work of Police Technician/Artist, Dex Landau of the Denver Police Departments Identification Bureau.

Herb Kingham, the Chief of Police of Cheyenne Wyoming, Chief James Byrd, who both welcomed the Rocky Mountain Chapter to Cheyenne with brief speeches offering their full cooperation in an effort to make our conference a success. 

                       

 

 

 

 

 

Thyra Thomson, Wyoming Secretary of State was then introduced. She expressed her happiness that Cheyenne was selected for our 1st Annual Conference. She then spoke exponding upon the value of the Social Security number as an important part of establishing identification along with the positive identification offered by fingerprints. She has found this to be of value in connection with clearences of applicants for securities license. 

Thru the efforts of Glen Peterson, Director of Wyoming State Bureau of Identification, the Social Security number is also used on both drivers license and fishing/hunting license as an additional means of identification."
