Abstract
This essay examines the career of leading British sociologist and policing scholar, Professor Simon Holdaway; who in the 1970s, whilst then serving as a Sergeant in the London Metropolitan Police Service, conducted one of the most ground-breaking (covert) ethnographic studies of police work ever undertaken. The article makes the case that along with the likes of Michael Banton and William Westley, Holdaway is a police research pioneer and draws on interviews with him as well as a review of his body of scholarship spanning nearly 40 years.
