McDaniel, a World War II Army veteran, was the former Jefferson County Police Chief from 1971 to 1978 and then again from 1985 to 1986. He was credited with giving equal opportunity for minority and female officers and with creating Kentucky’s first take-home car program.

McDaniel was a lifelong Fairdale resident. So Metro Council is honoring McDaniel’s service and commitment by placing an honorary street sign near the roundabout in the center of Fairdale. The sign will designate an old portion of Mitchell Hill Road as “Russell S. McDaniel Way.”
