JAMES ARTHUR GRADY Inducted March 4, 2005 The son of a cattle rancher, James was born and raised in Bonne, Colorado.  At age 21, he decided to leave the land in search of new adventures.  He first worked at the McClellan Grain Company, later relocated to Hinkle Duke Merchantile and Wholesale Grocery, and then became a motorman with Pueblo's street car system.  James began his long and illustrious career with the Pueblo Police Department in 1905 as a patrolman.  He advanced steadily through the ranks.  He took a leave from the Police Department to work for eight months as Undersheriff for Pueblo County and, upon his return, was appointed Chief of Detectives.  His promotion to Chief of Police came in 1922, a post he held until retiring in 1952.  James is credited with bringing advanced ideas in police management to Southern Colorado.  For example, he implemented the use of radios in police cars, promoted fingerprinting systems, and adopted uniform crime reports.  He was a man whose stature, mannerisms, and dignity depicted the best in law enforcement.  He commanded respect becasue of his efficiency and integrity but the trust and affection of the Pueblo citizenry was something he earned during a 47-year career.
