Author Robert Chrismas will be signing the paperback edition of Canadian Policing in the 21st Century: A Frontline Officer on Challenges and Changes on Saturday, September 20th, at Grant Park by the Cash Desk (McNally Robinson Booksellers).

"Canadian Policing in the 21st Century conveys the focused reflections of an experienced Canadian police officer, an under represented perspective that will interest both students and scholars in criminology, and informed general readers." Lisa Dufraimont, Faculty of Law, Queen’s University

How can police remain effective and vital in an era of unprecedented technological advances, access to information, and the global transformation of crime? Written by a long-serving officer, Canadian Policing in the 21st Century offers a rare look at street-level police work and the hidden culture behind the badge.

While the principles and goals of policing remain largely unchanged, police challenges, tools, and strategies have evolved dramatically. Chrismas’s vantage point as an officer and a scholar provides an illuminating account of the Canadian justice system, and road-maps to future success.

Robert Chrismas is a serving police officer in Winnipeg with twenty-eight years of law enforcement experience. He is also a doctoral student in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Manitoba.
