Harry S. Toy (1892 – September 9, 1955) was an American politician, prosecutor, and judge.
He served as Wayne County prosecutor (1930–1935), Michigan attorney general (1935), and a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court (1935–1937).
In November 1936, Toy, a Republican, was defeated for reelection to the Michigan Supreme Court by Democrat Bert D. Chandler, by a vote of 862,147 to 755,227.[1] Toy later served as the commissioner of the Detroit Police Department from 1948 through 1950.[2][3]
Both as a prosecutor and as police commissioner, Toy subscribed to McCarthyism and sought to root out and destroy communism, which Toy blamed for labor activism and various societal ills.[4]
Toy planned to run for Governor of Michigan,[3] but died of a heart attack at age 63 in Detroit.[5][6][7]
