The Heart and Art of a Detective Officer: I

Abstract

This is the first time THE POLICE JOURNAL has published a serial, and we count ourselves fortunate indeed to have secured the memoirs of a great policeman, for whom all who served with him have the greatest admiration and affection. Mr. Lockley joined the Staffordshire Constabulary in 1924, rising to become chief superintendent in charge of the C.I.D. In 1955 he went out to Cyprus as officer commanding the U.K. Police Unit and was soon appointed assistant commissioner in charge of crime and prosecutions. On his return to England he was deputy commandant of the Police College for almost six years, and he completed his service as assistant chief constable of Staffordshire.

The memoirs were written at Bramshill, some seven years ago, hence the use of a few terms no longer current since the new Theft Act.
