I have a complicated view on the police in my country, specifically my city, but if the Peelian principles still apply anywhere today, then only in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch and on Scilly.
My favourite is the seventh:
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
Our main character shows in this book in a very humorous way that this is possible if the police truly ARE members of their community policing that community by consent of that community.

thanks to netgalley and the publishers for a free copy in exchange for an open and honest review.
found this book of a police offer serving in the isle of scillies very funny and light hearted as we follow him around the islands in his duties, as the book is very much like the island mike pannett
