Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Police Administration: A Handbook on Police Organization, and Methods of Administration, in American Cities American police administration should not be confused with a manual on police practice and procedure. Administration relates to the organization, super vision and control of processes of police work; police practice and procedure relate to the actual doing of daily routine work. This study has been pursued with a full under 1 standing of the proper limitations of a treatise on the principles of administration. One of the chief sources of this work has been the material gathered and developed by the New York Bureau of Municipal Research during the course of some thirteen years devoted to the study of the problems of police administration and to the making of administrative surveys in many of the large cities of the United States. Mr. Graper has refined this wealth of raw material and that found in police reports, state laws and city charters, and through comparisons and selection has been able to set forth the best practices prevailing in police administration. This handbook will be useful to the superior police officer who is charged with the task of management and to those members of the rank and file who would aspire to fit themselves for higher administrative posts.
