Arnold J. Sagalyn (born March 2, 1918) is an American former journalist, government employee and private consultant.
Arnold J. Sagalyn was born in 1918 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
In 1939, he became a special assistant for Eliot Ness, who at the time was the safety director of Cleveland, Ohio. He helped Ness in reorganization of the city's police department. In 1942, when Sagalyn worked for the Cleveland Press, he was sent to investigate a suspect in notorious series of murders, known as the Cleveland Torso Murders case. The suspect from Maysville, Kentucky, known as the "Kentucky butcher", had committed a grisly murder and, enjoying ties with the local government, had received a brief sentence. Sagalyn failed to interview him. He later told this story to James Jessen Badal during making of his book about the Cleveland murders. The same year, Sagalyn came to Washington where he helped to organize a nationwide law enforcement program against prostitution.
In the years of military service during the World War II Sagalyn was an aide to the Chief of the Public Safety Division of the Office of Military Government for Germany. There he helped reorganizing the German police system.
As a journalist, Sagalyn worked for Life magazine in 1947–1949 and for The New York Times in 1949–1952. He worked as writer and producer for NBC between 1952 and 1954. He was a partner in Mountain Fir Lumber Company next three years and an assistant publisher for Northern Virginia Sun since 1957.
