I recall that a Boston patrol cop's work diary from the 1800s was found (hidden is a wall, methinks) and later published. I saw a citation to it somewhere, but the details escape me. Not sure this counts as a memoir. I will dig around my office today.

For a little additional context, there are almost 18,000 separate police agencies in the US. About 3,300 County sheriffs offices. And city/town police agencies, and transit/airport/housing/parks (etc). Fragmented and locally controlled
