Capt. Max Pinkerton Fisher, Bureau of Identification. Capt. Fisher was considered a high authority on identification matters and was rated in "Police World" as one of the four great men in America versed in the science of visual identification. California's present CII (criminal identification and information) owes its existence mainly to the efforts put forth by Capt. Fisher at sessions of the State Legislature.
He was born in Germany in 1864 and arrived in America in 1876. He died in 1943.
