Closing Ranks tells of an illustrious career, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of the Metropolitan Police. Leroy Logan, one of the founder members of the Black Police Association Charitable Trust, shares his firsthand experience of race relations in modern-day Britain. He discusses how his strong Christian faith helped him persevere in a frequently hostile work environment, encouraging other black officers to stay on and work to change the culture within the police. Leroy's passion for good policing shines through, along with his touching concern to guide and empower young people.

'This is a story that needs telling.' - Patrick Regan OBE, Kintsugi Hope
'Leroy Logan is a great example of achievement against all the odds.' - The Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Bishop of Dover
