Keeping the Peace Volume III

Laurie Pointing

Keeping the Peace Volume III, like its predecessors, is bound to become an important resource for social historians, legal academics and indeed anyone interested in the evolution of police administration and law enforcement in Queensland. It contains another wonderful collection of intensely personal stories, providing rare insights into the sacrifices made by successive generations of Queensland police officers — men and women who served the public with dedication, courage and a strong sense of duty. In a time of increasing anxiety and social breakdown, the book serves as a timely reminder of the contribution that police officers make to the peace of mind and welfare of ordinary citizens.
