Critical Thinking and Policing

“Critical Thinking and Policing fills a void in policing literature. It gives police officers the opportunity to learn virtually all that they need to know to be effective in policing. The book not only speaks to critical thinking and policing, but also to day-to-day police work”.

Musiliu A.K. Smith, former inspector-General of police and chairman, police service commission.

“An invaluable intellectual and professional contribution to the discourse on policing”

Mohammed A. Adamu,Inspector-General of police.
