Law Enforcement in Washington State The First One-Hundred Years 1889-1989

LAW ENFORCEMENT, IN WASHINGTON STATE, THE FIRST 100 YEARS, 1889-1989 by Harriet U. Fish is the first book composed of Law Enforcement history at all levels of agency activity in any state in the United States. Research of four years has produced memories, records, pictures & aging department journals, the contents of which fill these chapters. Everyone has heard of history's famous criminals, but what of the lawman? Who has told his tale? His experiences? The events of his days? What made him proud to be a Law Officer? Here you follow the birth of law & order in the Northwest through the laws, the people who wrote them &, most importantly, the people sworn to uphold them, the early Highway Patrolman, the Officer & the Footbeat Cop! You relive the days of prohibition when rum runners were kings & cops were the bad guys, when our coasts & borders first were patrolled for smugglers, a job still done today. Compiled & written by a well-known history writer of the far northwest corner of the United States, Harriet Fish is the author of some baker's dozen history books of unique, unusual, regional stories, "TRACKS, TRAILS & TALES IN CLALLAM COUNTY," "THIS IS WHAT WAS DOWN THAT ROAD!," "THE ELWHA, A RIVER OF DESTINY," "THE PAST AT PRESENT in ISSAQUAH, WASHINGTON," "THIS WAS ISSAQUAH," & a series of "FISH TALES OF --" which cover the history of northwest lakes, hamlets, ghost towns, quarantine stations & early logging centers.
