"This well-crafted book, replete with anecdotes, systematically
addresses issues such as technology, hiring practices, training,
budgets, labor relations, evolving communities, and post 9-11
trends that challenge today’s police departments. The reader will
come away with a wealth of information from sections in the book
called ‘Voices from the Field.’ These are the words of law
enforcement professionals who have shared their experiences, which
augment the authors’ own perspectives. … Written specifically for
law enforcement executives and police officers striving for
advancement, this book will also encourage those dedicated to
promoting the police profession through the use of foresight to
continue with their futurist ideology."
—Dr. Brian L. Royster, Saint Peter’s University, in Security
Management
