This book is included in the US Government: Educational, Informational & Motivational section.
Preface The primary aim of this book is to aid the ambitious policeman to perform his duties properly and to gain promotion. It is also hoped that it will help the law-abiding civilian reader to safeguard himself from criminals. All its subject-matter conforms to modern police practice, but a considerable part has appeared in the author's previous works. It was necessary to compress a large volume of information into a comparatively short space, so in some instances the essence of facts which have been established by scientists is given in the form of assertions. Very welcome and valuable assistance in the way of suggestions of new work for inclusion, in in the way of criticism, and in proofreading has been received from many persons, to all of whom the author is deeply grateful, particularly John J. Germain, Editor of The Police Journal; Dr. Charles H. Hochman, Assistant Medical Examiner, New York City, John Q. Walton, Jr., of the Federal Narcotic Bureau, Dr. Carleton Simon, and the following members of the New York Police Department: Detective Louis Brancato, Homicide Squad; Sergeant Harry Butts, Ballistic Bureau ; Acting Captain Edward Dillon, Motor Vehicle Bureau; Lieutenant Edward Cooper, Narcotic Bureau; Lieutenant Alex McCoy, District Attorney's Office; and Acting Captains John Stein, Missing Persons Bureau, and Frederick Zewirz, Criminal Identification Bureau. Special acknowledgment is given to Francis M. Basuino, for valuable advice and assistance. JAMES J.
