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."

• Reveals realities and myths about the police in America, their role in our society, and what can—and can't—be done to improve relations and public confidence in our police

• Provides an unbiased examination that presents BOTH sides of the issues and represents the perspectives and responsibilities of the police alongside those of the citizens they serve

• Enables readers to see the evolution of police over time and grasp the various positions in the debate about the proper role of police in modern society

• Presents solutions to the widespread problem of eroding respect for police agencies, discussing the issue in the broader context of how government and culture play key roles in ensuring that police agencies are competent and trustworthy
