3.0 out of 5 stars Disjoint history of the San Francisco PD, August 7, 2006
By Lisa J. Steele (Bolton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Mullen's book contains an interesting collection of incidents and characters; however, it is limited by the writer's style. The chapters range widely in size and seem to be written as seperate articles rather than as a whole book, thus information may be repeated, or contradicted, in adjacent chapters.

A good description of late 19th and early 20th century policing that could be improved with by more thorough editing.
