• Notes

  William McGillivray became chief of police in 1882, and had originally been a carpenter. Chief McGillivray remained only one year before leaving and going into private enterprise. He did maintain his connection with law enforcement. McGillivray became a Lanark County constable and served well into the 20th century. He also continued to work as a constable in Smiths Falls on a part time basis and was called on many times to fill temporary vacancies. In 1916 and 1917 he served full time as a sergeant with the Smiths Falls Police before resuming his county constabulary duties. His last recorded involvement with the Smiths Falls Police was in 1922. McGillivray's career in law enforcement would span some forty years.
