Beschreibung
New condition photographic softcover wraps. Includes Preliminary Page Map of Cambridge from 1854; Acknowledgments; Foreword by Commissioner Robert C. Haas; Introduction and In Memoriam. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed and inscribed by the author with thin black Sharpie on the full title page. "Formally organized in 1859 with the appointment of John C. Willey as the first chief of police, the Cambridge Police Department was then manned by only 16 officers. The department has grown dramatically from its humble beginnings and today employs 277 sworn officers and a civilian staff of 37. Cambridge Police Department, the first comprehensive photographic history of the department, contains over 100 years of historical photographs, including images of specialized traffic and K-9 units, auxiliary police officers, uniforms, and equipment. Many of the vintage photographs in the collection have come from the department archives or were donated by family members of Cambridge officers. David J. Degou, superintendent of the Cambridge police, was appointed to the Cambridge Police Department in 1975. A U.S. Army veteran, he served in Vietnam with the Americal Division 198th Infantry and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy. Commissioner Robert C. Haas served as chief of police for the Westwood Police Department for 12 years before being appointed as Massachusetts secretary of public safety by Gov. Mitt Romney. Since April 2007, he has served as the commissioner of police in Cambridge. The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all." - from the rear outer cover. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005626
