Helen Wilkinson sits at center and looks directly to the camera. She is viewed from the waist up and faces slightly left as she turns her head towards camera. To the left of her, another woman (possibly Dorothy Mackaye) sits in partial view along the left edge. The unknown woman wears a coat with a fur collar. This woman extends her arm towards Miss Wilkinson. From left to right, a calendar, a door and a plant line the back wall.
James I. Tucker stands in the near distance at the center of a classroom. He faces towards camera as he looks down towards a notebook he holds open in his hand. On either side of him, attendees of the training session sit in rows of desks that extend toward the back of the room. The students sit facing towards camera. Those nearer to camera turn their gaze back towards Tucker. On the left side of the room, students in officers' uniforms sit. Those sitting at right are dressed in street clothes. Windows line the left side of the classroom.
Off-center to the left, James I. Tucker stands at a chalkboard with his back to camera. He draws a floor plan onto the chalkboard. A few Sheriff's officers attending the training session surround him. At left, from left to right, stand D. W. Johnson and J. B. Davis. They stand facing the right and look towards the chalkboard. From front to back, standing at right, are: A. W. Austin and K. O. Sherman. They stand facing left and look towards the chalkboard that stretches behind them.
At center, several Native Americans ride in a truck while traveling down North Spring Street on Labor Day. North Spring Street stretches through the image on an upward angle from left to right. The truck travels towards the right and is viewed at an angle from the rear and the side. Three Native American men sit on the end of the truck's bed. One man looks to camera. Additional passengers stand behind them in the truck's bed. In the near distance, other cars travel along the street. The Los Angeles County Courthouse stands on the far side of the street at center. The Hall of Justice stands farther down the street and in the background at right.
Mrs. Aurie A. Avery, manager of the Nottingham Apartments, sits at center and is viewed close-up. She wears a fur scarf and feathered hat as she casts her gaze upward. Mrs. Avery was a witness during the Kid McCoy (nee Norman Selby) murder case(s).
