This unusual teaching tool surveys modern policing and many of the changes it has undergone since its 18th-century origins. The History of Policing in America: All in a Day’s Work traces the growing professionalism of police work; shows the impact of modern equipment on police work; and explores how the philosophy of law enforcement has evolved so that today’s training requires subtle interpersonal skill as much as muscle. Produced by Jacoby/Storm Productions, Inc. An MTI release.
