CHIEF CONSTABLE WILLIAM FRASER MM KPM OBE, a native of Lochbroom, was appointed to the post of Chief Constable of Inverness-shire with effect from 01 December 1936. He succeeded Major A.C. Maclean who had held the post since 1911. Mr Fraser was aged 39 years at the time of his appointment, and transferred from the Dunbartonshire Constabulary where he had served since 23 December 1919. Prior to joining the Police, Mr Fraser had served in the Seaforth Highlanders from 1913 to 1919 and had been awarded the Military Medal.
