A neat series of truly portable guides designed for the nature-loving traveler.

We follow one man on his journey from uniform constable on the beat into the Vice Squad and then into the CID, gaining confidence and experience on the way. Times in the 1960s were changing and with Britain prospering, the Force began to suffer from a lack of manpower, with officers leaving for better-paid jobs. As a result, new methods of policing were introduced, including personal radios and Panda Cars, which involved massive change for those officers which remained. The book sheds light on a way of policing society which has long since passed.
