Hardcover. 249 pp. First edition, first printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Anecdotal, informal history of that complex figure--the New York City cop. The author traces the beginnings of New York's official police force in the 19th century (when there nwere two competing police forces), 19th century scandals, the reform era under Theodore Roosevelt, the major corruption issues of the day, etc., challenges that the force dealt with in the post war year and the 1960s.
