Clarence E. "Clare" Snively was chief of police of the Los Angeles Police Department for one year, three months, and eight days in 1915.[1] He is considered one of the "lesser-known" LAPD chiefs of the 20th century.[2] He created an anti-nicotine clinic through the department, believing it to be a noxious substance that "weakened" bodies.[2] He also worked as a reporter for several newspapers and as a federal probation officer for a large region of Southern California.[3]
