✦ Synopsis

Against all odds, the Portland Police Association survived early threats to its very existence, and steadily grew in strength and influence. It is now the nation's oldest continuous police union.
In this book, journalist Susan Hauser tells the story of a union that has stayed strong for more than fifty years, thanks to the loyalty and participation of past and present Portland police officers.
