george edward `` ted '' seman -lrb- october 31 , 1930 -- june 13 , 1966 -rrb- was a michigan police officer , and the first evart police officer to be killed in the line of duty .
he was a member of the police department during the early years of the agency , before it was more formally organized into the modern police force that it is today .
his rank is often listed as `` police chief '' since there was no formal rank structure at the time , and he was the lone officer for the town .
