Dr. Lee P. Brown, one of America's most significant and respected
law enforcement practitioners, has harnessed his thirty years of
experiences in police work and authored Policing in the 21st
Century: Community Policing. Written for students, members of the
police community, academicians, elected officials and members of
the public, this work comes from the perspective of an individual
who devoted his life to law enforcement. Dr. Brown began his career
as a beat patrolmen who through hard work, diligence and continued
education became the senior law enforcement official in three of
this nation's largest cities. The book is about Community Policing,
the policing style for America in the Twenty-First Century. It not
only describes the concept in great detail, but it also illuminates
how it evolved, and how it is being implemented in various
communities throughout America. There is no other law enforcement
official or academician who is as capable as Dr. Brown of
masterfully presenting the concept of Community Policing, which he
pioneered. As a philosophy, Community Policing encourages law
enforcement officials, and the people they are sworn to serve, to
cooperatively address issues such as crime, community growth, and
societal development. It calls for mutual respect and understanding
between the police and the community. The book is written from the
perspective of someone whose peers identify as the "father" of
Community Policing, and who personally implemented it in Police
Departments under his command. It is a thoroughly amazing book that
has been heralded as a "must read" for anyone who has an interest
in law enforcement. Elected officials, academicians, leaders of the
nation's police agencies and members of the public will be
captivated by Dr. Brown's literary contribution.

"Growing Up To Be Mayor" is the inspiring true story of Dr. Lee P.
Brown, the first African American Mayor of Houston. Born to migrant
farm workers in rural Oklahoma, Lee's family is forced to leave the
Oklahoma dust bowl and move to California where they hope a better
future awaits them. At only five, Lee had survived The Great
Depression. No stranger to hard work, Lee works along with his
whole family picking grapes, cotton, potatoes, melons ... the
family must make a living. The opportunity to go to school and
learn to read transforms Lee's life. Lee works his way through
college and eventually earns four degrees. From a beat cop with the
San Jose, California Police Department, Lee is selected to serve as
Atlanta's Commissioner of Public Safety. Later he serves as U.S.
Drug Czar in President Clinton's Cabinet and then is elected as the
first African American Mayor of Houston, Texas. "Growing Up To Be
Mayor" not only tells the story of one of our living legends, but
also encourages children to accomplish their own American dreams.
