1894-1895 New York State Senate committee to investigate New York City Police Department corruption
Report and proceedings of the Senate committee appointed to investigate the police department of the city of New York. Volume III
Lexow Committee (1894 to 1895) was a major New York State Senate probe into police corruption in New York City.[1] The Lexow Committee inquiry, which took its name from the committee's chairman, State Senator Clarence Lexow, was the widest-ranging of several such commissions empaneled during the 19th century. The testimony collected during its hearings ran to over 10,000 pages and the resultant scandal played a major part in the defeat of Tammany Hall in the elections of 1894 and the election of the reform administration of Mayor William L. Strong. The investigations were initiated by pressure from Charles Henry Parkhurst.
