Closing Ranks: My Life as a Cop

Description

Policing wasn't Leroy Logan's first career choice. But after a spell as a research scientist, he decided a change was in order. Strangely, everyone seemed to believe there was an ideal job for him . . . Thirty years later, Dr Leroy Logan, MBE was hailed by The Voice as one of the 'black officers who helped change the Met'. This is his story. Closing Ranks tells of an illustrious career in the Metropolitan Police, with behind-the-scenes accounts of many iconic events. One of the founder members of the Black Police Association Charitable Trust, Leroy Logan has had first-hand experience of race relations in modern-day Britain, and he relates how his strong Christian faith helped him to persevere in a frequently hostile environment. Offering encouragement to other black officers to stay on and work to change the culture within the police, Leroy's passion for good policing shines through . . . as does his touching concern to guide and empower young people.
