Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Department of Police Service of Springfield, Mass., From 1636 to 1900: Historical and Biographical, Illustrating the Equipment and Efficiency of the Police Force of Today, With Reminiscences of the Past, Containing Authentic Information Carefully Gleaned From Official Sources
Rome was not built in a day, so it has been observed, and the pres ent admirable state of the police department of the metropolis of Western Massachusetts was not attained in a moment - but was grad ually built up during recent years, until it has reached the summit of possible efficiency and arrived at the point where of it, it can be said, that it is as perfect a body as circumstances will permit.
Surely, therefore, this most important branch of the city's various departments is worthy of a little history all to itself.
