About Douglas Imrie McKay
- Douglas Imrie McKay (1879 – September 24, 1962) was an American artillery and law enforcement officer and New York City Police Department police official who served as New York City Police Commissioner in 1914.
- His five months in office and eventual departure from the police force were fraught with controversy, however, his two-year campaign against the New York underworld eventually rid the city of the many street gangs active since the early-to mid 19th century.
- In the years following his retirement, McKay also had a successful career in business, holding high-level positions in a number of corporations.
