Police: Their Culture and How They Can Be Improved

Journalists and other citizens need to know as much as they can about police " their culture, how they can be improved, and what it takes to lead them. Therefore, I have some reference materials that may be of assistance to you in your reporting on police.

After all, police struggle with the same problems " your city`s problems are not unique. I have some workable ideas on how to improve police during my long career as a police chief.

See - "Arrested Development: A Veteran Police Chief Sounds Off About Protest, Racism, Corruption and the Seven Steps Necessary to Improve Our Nation`s Police " (Amazon.com) and visit my blog at http://improvingpolice.wordpress.com where I deal with other issues confronting police.

Good luck and great reporting on this difficult yet extremely necessary beat!
