Nassau County Police Department: A Comprehensive Historical Account

This hardcover book chronicles the complete history of the Nassau County Police Department from its founding in 1925 through its evolution into one of the nation's most respected law enforcement agencies. Written by retired detective Jerry Aylward, who served 32 years with the department, this volume provides an insider's perspective on the department's origins and development.

Historical Context and Department Origins

The Nassau County Police Department was established in 1925 during a critical period when Greater New York's expansion threatened Nassau County's western border. The Volstead Act had ushered in the Roaring Twenties, bringing mob activity and violent unrest to what had been a peaceful island community. This book documents how the department's founding members, equipped primarily with dedication, bravery, and fortitude, built the foundation for modern professional law enforcement in the region.

The narrative extends beyond the turbulent 1920s to cover the Great Depression era and World War II, when the department faced new challenges including potential homeland invasions from foreign enemies. These historical periods shaped the department's protocols and strengthened its commitment to protecting Nassau County residents.
