Rear, from left, Lieutenant Ray Jansen, Lieutenant Maureen Gill and Sergeant Nick Kuliecza 9th is honored to get honorary member’s ’30s photo Susan Leibowitz, her husband, David Yalovsky, and their son, Josh Yalovsky, 13, traveled from their home in Montreal last week to present a copy of a photograph to the Ninth Precinct that her late father had left behind. The photo is a composite of headshots of officers from the East Village precinct from the 1930s, including a photo of her father, Louis Leibowitz, as a young boy, at the bottom just right of center. Louis Leibowitz was born in 1915 and lived in a tenement at 318 E. Fifth St., directly across from the precinct. He spent his childhood and youth running errands for the police. While a student at Seward Park High School, he also helped the police with paperwork. He wanted to become an officer, but at 5 foot 7 inches tall, he was too short to meet the height requirements of the time. He died last year at the age of 91. In later years, he pasted a more contemporary shot of himself in the upper left-hand corner of the old Ninth Precinct photo.
