About this title

From the Author:

Behind the Blue Lamp is a serious look at the police culture in London, and how it developed historically, socially and institutionally. The book is an opportunity to look behind the ‘blue lamp’ and to see the people who lived and worked in the police stations. The book shows how the police history was established within each of the north and east London borough boundaries. The social aspects of policing have been introduced in a number of ways through work practices, buildings, uniforms, medals, vehicles and other equipment.

The book will be of interest to a wide variety of people who are interested in police history, particularly those who have worked, or still work, within the Police Service both in this country and abroad. It will also be of interest to those people who are researching their family history, and who want to add details to their family tree of police ancestors who served in London during the past 175 years. The book includes a list of the 500 police officers who are mentioned in the text.
