Famous quotes containing the words police and/or department:

    I guess a career in the police didn’t really prepare you for this, did it?
    Bob Hunt (b. 1951)

    All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
