A History of the Durban City Police - Revd Jack Jewell

The maintenance of peace and order is fundamental to the stability and prosperity of any community. Durban, in its early colonial days, recognised the need for a police force to cope with its growing population and it was in 1854 that the Durban City Police Force was established. Times have changed since those first members of the Force swore to uphold the laws of Natal and went about their duties in the dusty streets of Durban. Over the past century and a half many colourful personalities have emerged and the Force has weathered the vicissitudes of Durbans turbulent history with distinction.

This book paints a colourful portrait of the role that the Durban City Police Force has played in the life and growth of one of South Africas major cities.
