Albert J. Hansen was hired by the Seattle Police Department shortly before this photograph was taken. In the image,  Hansen and his fiancee Helen Zeek strike a humorous pose, with  Helen dressed in Albert's  recently acquired police uniform, holding a handcuffed Albert, who is wearing a dress and mugging for the camera. According to a family story, Hansen needed to land a stable job in order to marry Helen. Hansen was hired by the SPD in 1913, and he and Helen married in 1914.
