"The Palestine Police Constable's Manual", by Albert John Kingsley-Heath. Jerusalem: Goldberg's Press, [1931]. English.
The book includes the constitution of the police, description of its hierarchic structure and terms of service; governmental orders, instructions about conducting investigations, arrests, legal procedures, and more.
The author, Albert John Kingsley-Heath, was born in Egypt in 1899 and served in Palestine from at least the mid-twenties. He was chief of the Criminal Investigation Department in 1937, when he resigned owing to an outbreak of Arab-Jewish violence.

He was appointed Commissioner of Police and Attorney-General of Kenya in mid-1941 and died in an aircraft accident over Eastern Libya in November 1943.
