Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current reference profile expands or corrects the inherited name from Patrick T. Leonard to Patrick Thomas Leonard; both renderings remain preserved. The current profile records later/highest rank Sergeant. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
