Edward F. Dishman was chief of police of the Los Angeles Police Department for ten months and 11 days in 1909–1910.[1] He had previously been a Los Angeles Times reporter on the police-department beat.[2] Confounded by the police commission and city administration in his efforts to hire more officers or increase stagnant salaries, he was dismissed in short order by the police commission for non-performance in reforming the police department.[2] After leaving the police department he worked for the post office, and then had a long career as an examiner for the California State Corporation Commission, investigating fraudulent stock offerings.[3]
