Reviews
"Chief Billy Grogan's exploration of principles attributed to Sir Robert Peel serves as a testament to their enduring significance in contemporary policing. With 50 years of experience in law enforcement and 32 of those years as a police chief, I have witnessed firsthand the paramount importance of these foundational principles, having mandated their memorization and thoughtful reflection by all police recruits in our department. Ascension within our ranks necessitated a deeper understanding and articulation of these principles' relevance in leadership roles. Chief Lou Dekmar (Ret) Past President IACP 2017-2018 In ""Guardians of the Community,"" Chief Billy Grogan delves into the intricate tapestry of policing, tracing its evolution from the historical streets of London to the present-day challenges faced in the United States. This riveting exploration sheds light on the ever-changing landscape of police recruitment, retention, transparency, crime, and the pivotal role of community relations. Dr. Cedric Alexander NBC/MSNBC Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Public Safety Executive Past President NOBLE 2014-2015 As a longtime social justice advocate deeply committed to fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve, I commend Chief Billy Grogan for his insightful contribution to this critical dialogue. In 'Guardians of the Community, ' Chief Grogan masterfully explores the timeless principles of policing laid out by Sir Robert Peel, offering invaluable insights into how these principles can unite police departments and communities, particularly in challenging times.
