POLICE AND PUBLIC

Hardback. The author was formerly Assistant-Commissioner Metropolitan Police. During his police service he came into contact with all classes of the public, and not only in London; he realised how very much the relations between the police and the public could be improved by a mutual understanding. Each could help the other. He tries to bring home the essential points of a proper appreciation by each of the rights and duties of the other.
