Follow on Google News | Costco to Host Book Signing for Houston Police Department AuthorTom Kennedy will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
Eventually, conditions changed and law enforcement became more sophisticated. The “Bayou City” population went from 44,633 in 1900 to almost 1 million by 1960. “Houston” was the first word spoken from the moon, thus it became “Space City” and, ultimately, the nation’s fourth-largest city. Its police department weathered decades of mayoral appointment for every officer before state civil service reform in the 1940s. It also met the civil rights years better than most cities and saw dramatic change with the 1982 appointment of Lee Brown as the first African American police chief of a large American city. Highlights of Houston Police Department include: • The Early Years and Training • Wheels, Hooves, and Blades • Preserving and Protecting • Fallen Heroes of the Houston Police Department Join the author for a signing: Where: Costco 3836 Richmond Ave., Houston TX 77027 When: Saturday, August 17th, 2013; 11:00 a.m. —2:00 p.m. Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com.
