Before Texas became a state in the United States of America, Texas Rangers would become the first state law enforcement agency that would be formed.

In Rethinking the Police, Reinhardt lays out a history of policing in the United States, showing how it developed a culture of dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality.

NEW REFORMAT FOR KINDLE I have had the opportunity to review and read THE THIN BLUE LIFELINE and I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

It is relevant, well-written, operationally-based, and goes to the heart of the matter in dealing with people who are in crisis - not just for dealing with "mentally ill" folks - but virtually everyone with whom police officers come into contact....
