(Disneyland, 1969) This official Disneyland Main Street, U.S.A. security jacket was issued in 1969 to retiring Anaheim Chief of Police Mark Stephenson by Disneyland’s then Vice-President Dick Nunis, to honor his service and to celebrate "Mark Stephenson Day" at Disneyland. Stephenson became Anaheim's Police Chief in 1946 and was instrumental in keeping his department at pace with the development of Disneyland and the effort needed to keep the surrounding area safe; something that Walt Disney knew the importance of and was very grateful for. The jacket has a unique metal embroidered shield emblazoned with the "Tinkerbell D" emblem and the text "Security Honorary Chief". The embroidered shield is designed in such a way that it can be removed and replaced with the standard metal Disneyland security shield. Created in the Disneyland costume department, this custom tailoring also includes a black velour collar and gold striping on the sleeves. The Keystone Cop style hat has a custom gold band and a gold "Tinkerbell D" emblem. The jacket is size 42 regular, the shirt is a men's large, and the hat is size 7 3/8". This costume is in fine condition overall, and represents a truly unique Disneyland costume.
