The Father of Modern Policing

[TxD]

My weekly meandering at the library lead me to this fellow.
- Sir Robert Peel 1788-1850

"The police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence."
