Description
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Palestine Police Force is a lesser-known chapter in the history of law enforcement. This book tells the story of the CID's development and operations from 1920 to 1948, set against the complex backdrop of the Middle East during this period.
Initially, the CID focused on providing technical assistance for criminal investigations. However, following a commission of inquiry in 1929, the department was tasked with gathering intelligence on political elements and monitoring Arab and Jewish activity. As the security situation deteriorated, the CID adapted its methods to work closely with the Jewish population.
This book sheds light on the CID's efforts to gather intelligence and understand the mood of the Jewish leadership and public during this tumultuous period. With a focus on the historical context and the department's operations, it offers a unique insight into the complexities of law enforcement in the Middle East during the early 20th century.
