INTRODUCTION1 Policing may be one of the most frequently studied occupations in North America. This attention derives from a number of sources, not the least of which is the inherent ambiguity of policing in a liberal democratic state. Most studies, however, have concentrated on the experience of police departments in large urban settings (Ericson, 1982). In Nova Scotia, Richard Apostle and Philip Stenning conducted a research study on public policing in the province under the auspices of the Royal Commission on the Donald Marshall, Jr., Prosecution (1988).
