Britain’s First Black Policeman

Ray Greenhow

£12.00

‘I was both surprised and delighted to have been informed recently that the first black/ethnic minority officer known to have worked in a British police force was in Carlisle City Police as far back as 1837’

‘That officer was John Kent, the son of a freed slave. Little further has been added to the knowledge of Constable Kent, but this book, written by a retired Cumbrian officer, clarifies his career in considerable detail and is a great insight into the character of that early constable.’ – Jeremy Graham, Chief Constable, Cumbria Constabulary
