Leroy Logan

Dr Leroy Logan, MBE, worked in the Metropolitan Police for 30 years, reaching the rank of Superintendent before retiring. Born in 1957 to Jamaican parents, he is a proud Londoner and a staunch Arsenal fan. He works now as an advocate for good relationships between the police and Britain’s minority ethnic communities, a mentor to young people, and an advisor on knife crime. Closing Ranks is his first book, and his story was brilliantly brought to life by John Boyega in Small Axe: Red White and Blue, part of Steve McQueen’s multi award-winning film anthology.

Closing Ranks is the enthralling autobiography of Leroy Logan, brilliantly portrayed by John Boyega in Steve McQueen's award-winning film anthology Small Axe.

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

'I was amazed and intrigued by the way Leroy had stood his ground and progressed within the Metropolitan Police against so many obstacles: hostility, outright racism and being repeatedly overlooked for promotion.'
Steve McQueen
