Bill Drews
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilhelm Arnold Drews (February 11, 1870 — February 17, 1938), known as Bill Drews, was a German lawyer and administrator.
Bill Drews was the creator of the Prussian police administrative law, which became the model of all today's police regulations.
Drews studied law at Göttingen (Corps Bremensia).
He was Minister of the Interior of Prussia from 1917 to 1918. In 1919 he was responsible for the overhaul of Prussian public administration, and urged the creation of a rigidly organized state police force to supplement uncoordinated local police forces.[1]
He became president of the Prussian Superior Administrative Court in 1921.
In 1927 he published Preußisches Polizeirecht, a text book on police administration.
