An unprecedented look at the evolution of American police, from
filling their intended role as peacekeepers and guardians of
citizen rights to calling themselves—and acting primarily
as—"law enforcement officers." As accusations of police
misconduct and racial bias increasingly dominate the media, The
Police in a Free Society: Safeguarding Rights While Enforcing the
Law takes an unflinching look at the police, the communities they
serve, and the politicians who direct them. Author Todd Douglas, a
veteran state police commander, exposes the occurrences of police
misconduct and incompetence as well as incidences of charlatans who
intentionally inflame racial tensions with the police for their own
political or financial gain. Readers will better understand what
police officers must deal with on a daily basis, grasp the role of
lawmakers in keeping faith with the public, and appreciate the
tremendous challenges that police leaders face in attempting to
reverse recent trends and shore up public confidence in police
officers. This is a rare glimpse into the often-ugly reality of
what happens on America's streets, with insights gained from the
perspective of the cop and suspect alike.
