Author and local historian Ryan L. Sumner selected these images from a variety of sources, including the department's archives, the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, University of North Carolina-Charlotte, the families of current and retired officers, and the Charlotte Observer. This volume is adapted from Behind the Badge: Policing in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, 1865-2009, a collaborative exhibit of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the Charlotte Museum of History that was curated by Sumner. This book is sponsored by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Benevolent Fund, a nonprofit organization.
