POLICING IN LANCASHIRE 1839-1989 (SIGNED)

Softcover. (SIGNED). The author, who was a Sergeant in the force, sets out to show the happenings, the changes and the development of the Lancashire Constabulary throughout its, at the time, 150 year life. He shows the background conditions in Lancashire itself throughout those years, which have seen radio and computers replace the rattle and whistle. He shows too how the community still policed itself and how the turbulent years of the cotton riots and the coal strikes repeated themselves. Illus., Some Suggested Further Reading and Police Records. 99pp. trade size soft cover. PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY BOB DOBSON. F. with no creasing to covers.
