Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Shields of New York City: A History of Law Enforcement Insignia and Urban ExpansionThe Shields of New York City is a richly detailed and visually captivating journey through the evolving history of law enforcement insignia across the five boroughs of America's most iconic metropolis.
