Brandon del Pozo served for nearly two decades in the New York City Police Department, where he commanded two patrol precincts, and then as the chief of police of Burlington, Vermont. He researches policing, public health, and drug policy at Brown University.
'Brandon Del Pozo's book utilizes a Rawlsian framework to provide a normative framework for policing. To date, his is the most detailed and sophisticated attempt to do so. Whether one ultimately accepts this approach or some alternative, such as a rights-based approach, his book is a significant contribution to police ethics.'
