I have witnessed an emphasis on agencies hiring, training, and even certifying analytical personnel to address homeland security, terrorism and organized hate crime. The problem has been the lack of materials applicable to law enforcement. That was until Mr. Ronczkowski penned this book. I congratulate him.
