Law Enforcement Resource Guide
|
|
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
(FLETC) authored the Law Enforcement Resource
Guide. The guide focuses on the needs of small
towns and rural agencies, and has attempted to
list only resources that would be useful to these
agencies. The authors asked the following
questions to determine whether an entry should be
included:
- Is the resource free or offered at a minimal
cost?
- Is the resource available to small and rural
agencies?
- To reduce the financial impact to the
agency, is there a toll free telephone number to
access the resource?
- Are constraints, limitations, or guidelines
for use or acquisition of the resource clear and
easy to comply with?

War College Guide to National Security
Policy |
|
This edition of the U. S. Army War College
Guide to National Security Policy and Strategy
reflects to some extent recent changes in the
structure of the core curriculum at the War
College. The college broke its traditional core
course, “War, National Policy and Strategy,” into
two courses: “Theory of War and Strategy” and
“National Security Policy and Strategy.” The
result for this book is the expansion of the block
on strategic theory and the introduction of a
block on specific strategic issues.
Because little time has past since the
publication of the most recent version of this
book, this edition is largely an expansion of its
predecessor rather than a major rewriting. Several
chapters are new and others have undergone
significant rewrites or updates, but about
two-thirds of the book remains unchanged. Although
this is not primarily a textbook, it does reflect
both the method and manner we use to teach
strategy formulation to America’s future senior
leaders.
