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.


Police-Writers.com adds the 92nd Police Author
 

Police-Writers.com is dedicated to police officers turned authors. Donald Harstad, is the 92nd author added. Don, a Vietnam veteran, joined the Clayton County Sheriff’s Department in 1974. During his 26 years he has been a patrol officer, investigator and the Deputy Sheriff. Harstad’s first novel, Eleven Days, introduced the character of Carl Houseman, a deputy sheriff in the Midwest.

In Harstad's most recent book, “Houseman discovers the body of a man and his gravely injured dog. He is soon joined by another deputy. Exploring the crime scene, they are puzzled to see items that indicate strange religious practices. Not long afterwards, three more gruesomely mutilated bodies are discovered at a nearby farmhouse.”

Police-Writers.com now lists 92 police authors and their 249 books in six categories


War on Terrorism Blog surpasses 500 entries
 

Research for the book “From Cold War to Hot War: The New War on Global Terrorism,” led author and lecturer Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA, to found a comprehensive blog on the War on Terrorism.

First Response to Victims of Crime Who Have a Disablity
 
A handbook for Law Enforcement Officers

One out of five people in the United States has a mental or physical impairment, and the disability is severe for half of this population. These disabilities come in many forms but all affect either a person’s mental functioning, such as the ability to reason and exercise good judgment, or a person’s physical abilities, such as the ability to see and hear.

This 33 page Office of Justice Programs handbook helps law enforcement officers approach and help crime victims who have Alzheimer's Disease, Mental Illness, Mental Retardation; or, who are blind or visuall impaired; or deaf or hard of hearing.


Curtailing Crime - Inside and Out
 
Crime Prevention Series

As always, we appreciate your feedback and contributions.

Sincerely,
