Although I was only 12 at the time, I remember Commissioner Howard E. Finney. He really cleaned up the city and was gone in 2 years. He was from NYC and from what I recall was an honest cop. Every night on the news something was raided and people arrested. When he "resigned" my late mom said "thats what happens when you get an honest commissioner"
Here's an article from the Buffalo News that mentions him.
