Reviews / Votes
"Policing the Community: A Guide for Patrol Operations is an excellent book which should be used as a required text for courses on community policing and patrol operations in a police academy, traditional university, four year college or community college. It would also be an excellent reference text for police supervisory training.""The strength of this book lies in its combination of theoretical and background information with practical application to provide a rich body of knowledge for either an aspiring law enforcement officer or a student of the administration of justice .... It provides the `why' as well as the `how to' of policing."
"The author has provided an interesting and comprehensive book for the `thinking police officer' which covers all the necessary material in an easy to follow, wellorganized manner." - Edwin Meese III, former Attorney General of the United States
