Guidelines for Starting and Operating a New Police Department
Guidelines for Starting and Operating a New Police Department
Abstract: Although starting a new police agency is a complex and expensive undertaking, very little has been written about it until now. This guide will assist public officials and citizens to decide whether or not to start their own police departments, and if they decide to go forward, will offer guidance on how to do it efficiently and effectively. This guide can be a valuable tool to assist communities in thoughtfully considering the major issues involved in starting a police department.
