DESCRIPTION:
A voracious reader said One of my favorite Arcadia books. I own a huge number of Arcadia books, but this is one of my very favorites. Not only is the selection of photos terrific, but the *quality* of the photos is unusually good.. Well done by two officers of the SJPD itself Excellent photo documentary for anyone interested in reading about the history of the San Jose Police Department in Silicon Valley. I highly recommend it.. nostalgic Ryan J. Welch A great book to understand how the department started and how much it has adapted and changed with the times.
Its mission has been to respond to the distinctive needs of the community from the early agricultural age to today's high technology age. The San Jose Police Department has been a leader in law enforcement technology and training and is considered a model for modern police departments. The wonderful photographs compiled over the departments history illustrate the efforts of the hundreds of men and women who built the San Jose Police Department into one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the United States.. In 1849, the newly elected government appointed a chief of police, and the San Jose Police Department was born. Today, with a thousand sworn officers and 200 support personnel, the San Jose Police Department serves over a million citizens in the city and polices an area of over 180 square miles. Originally known as San Jose de Guadalupe, San Jose was ruled by Mexico until 1848, when, after the Mexican-American War, California joined the United States of America
