Joseph Vankoski
(A biographical sketch from a Chester Times or Delaware County Daily Times newspaper clipping, "Know Your Police" from the collection of John C. "Snakes" Boyle, contributed by his granddaughters, Jane Boyle & Patty Boyle.)
A carpenter who turned policeman still enjoys working with wood in his spare time. He's Joseph Vankoski, who has been on the force since Dec. 10, 1941.
Prior to becoming a policeman Vankoski worked as a stevedore and a carpenter.
He's married to the former Jennie Jaluska and they have three children, John, 14, a Smedley Junior High student, Joseph, 9, and James, 7, both Lincoln School students. They live at 806 W. 11th st.
Vankoski, who is 43, is a graduate of Chester High School and several police schools.
