Cornelius Willemse : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cornelius Willemse Cornelis Wilhelmus Joannes Maria "Cornelius" Willemse (30 September 1871, Rotterdam - 11 July 1942, Manhattan) was a New York City policeman and detective from 1900 to 1925. He was the author of two memoirs, "Behind the Green Lights"(1931) and "A Cop Remembers"(1933). His books are among the few reliable first-hand accounts of the criminal gangs and police methods of that time. == Early life == Willemse emigrated from the Netherlands in 1888. After working as a bouncer at a Bowery saloon he joined the police department in February 1900 as a patrolman. He witnessed, and described in his books, the evolution of the New York City Police Department from a corruption-ridden, antiquated institution into a considerably more modern police department.〔Willemse, Cornelius, ''Behind the Green Lights'', (Garden City Publishing Co., 1931)〕
