Leonard was a part-time student at the University of California and a full-time police officer in the Berkeley Police Department. In 1933, a mixture of economic and academic problems forced Leonard to return to his home in Texas where he spent a year working on his book, The Police Communication System (1937). He then settled into his new job as Superintendent of Identification in the Fort Worth Police Department. While he worked his way through the ranks in the police department, Leonard earned a BA and Masters in Criminology and Public Administration. ” In 1941, he applied for a position as chief of police of the Pasadena Police Department. While waiting for a decision on that job, Leonard was approached by August Vollmer to head a new police program at Washington State College. ”" (Police Books) .
