LOCAL MAN CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF l||\

Robert Shields

Sheriff’s Major Robert H. Shields announces he is resigning his position today to become a candidate for sheriff in the Democratic primary election next May. “t take this action so as not to hinder in any way the merit system, created within the Department under the leadership of Sheriff Robert A. O’Neal,” he said. Maj. Shields said in announcing his candidacy he feels he is qualified for the office of sheriff of Marion County for the following reasons: he was with the Indiana State Police for approximately 14 years and has just concluded seven years with the Sheriffs Department under the guidance of Sheriff O’Neal. Maj. Shields recited that he was appointed to the State Police in July, 1938, and served as clerk, trooper, investigator, detective sergeant and ended his career as lieutenant commanding the Indianapolis Post area. During his stay with ISP, he joined the United States Army during World War II and was assigned to the criminal investigation division, in which he served in the Chinese theater. After leaving the State Police he came to the Sheriffs Department on Jan. 1, 1955 as executive officer. Shields was graduated from Cathedral High School in 1935 and since has attended police training schools at Indiana, Purdue and Northwestern. He is a graduate of the F. 8.1. National Academy and of the U. S. Army Criminal Investigation school. He was born at Crawfordsville on March 31, 1917, the son of Vernon and Bertha Shields. His father is deceased, but his mother resides with Mr. Shields. His father was a career police officer, serving as Chief of Police at Crawfordsville from 1922 to 1930. He joined the Indiana State Police in 1931 and reached the rank of chief of detectives before his death in 1937. He was active in the famous John Dillinger case. Like his father, 'Maj. Shields has been associated with a number of famous cases while with ISP. Among these were the Robert Watts murder case, Leland Miller murder, and the slaying of two Hammond Police officers in 1947. He has been connected officially with most of the major cases in the Sheriffs Department. A few of these include the North Central High School vandalism case, Deputy Edward Byrne murder, Michael Layton murder and two Brown murder cases. Maj. Shields resides at 1806 N. Auburn st., Speedway, with his wife, Zora Shields. They were married in Indianapolis, Nov. 29, 1940, and have three children, Billy, 15 years old, a sophomore in Speedway High School; Betty, 11, and Bobby, 7, both attending St. (Continued on page 2)
