People with Mental Illness
"Law enforcement officers encounter people with mental illness in many different types of situations, in roles that include criminal offenders, disorderly persons, missing persons, complainants, victims and persons in need of care. This guide is an essential tool for local law enforcement to analyze their local problem associated with people with mental illness and reviews responses to these problems based on evaluative research and police practice."

Longitudinal Study of First Line Supervisors
"A distinguishing feature of the Platform Project is that it will follow law enforcement personnel over time to understand their 'life course.' Law enforcement first-line supervisors are one of the populations we are studying because they are key to an agency's performance. Despite their importance, first-line police supervisors have been under-researched, and in many departments they have not received the support and professional development that is needed to promote the highest quality supervision. The Platform will produce data about supervisors and supervision to supplement a sparse literature. A key benefit of longitudinal data collection will be the production of information about first-line supervisors' life course. When officers are promoted to a supervisory rank, they embark upon a new phase of their career requiring a transition to a different role, and as with any job, police supervisors adjust to the requirements of the job over time as they 'learn the ropes' and then mature in the position. Platform researchers will explore how police supervisors develop, determine what influences that development, and discern what the consequences are for performance."

Police Training
"This preliminary report from the National Police Research Platform summarizes responses from organizational surveys focused on police training. Specifically, respondents were asked to rate the in-service/post-academy training1 they received during their careers in regard to how well that training had prepared them to do their jobs as police officers. Additionally, supervisors were asked to rate the formal supervisory training they received."

Reducing Fear of Crime: Strategies for Police
"This Guide briefly reviews information about the phenomenon of fear of crime as well as historical and contemporary police efforts to reduce fear. The main focus, however, is on tools and techniques that police can use to target and reduce fear of crime, and institutionalize fear reduction within their agencies. Some promising practices and best practices have been identified-these are strategies and programs that have been implemented and that have been tested and shown to be effective."

Information Sharing: Exploring the Intersection of Policing with National and Military Intelligence
"Policing and police intelligence rarely overlapped or intersected with national and military intelligence before September 11, 2001. Since then, a great amount of emphasis has been placed on improving intelligence and information sharing. This article explores the details of information sharing between (1) police and (2) national and military intelligence using fourteen police/intelligence experts who responded to six hypothetical scenarios. Results indicate that the complexity of the inter-organizational setting and the newness of information-sharing protocols create uncertainty about what information should be shared in different situations, and inconsistency about how it should be shared. Additionally, customs, traditions, and tensions between agencies and levels of government still seem to interfere with the amount of information that actually would be shared in various situations."

Research for Practice: Problem-Oriented Policing in Practice
"The research reported here carefully examined problem-oriented policing in
practice by ordinary police officers in one agency - the San Diego, California Police Department. The objective was to discover and describe the reality of everyday, street level POP as practiced by generalist patrol officers. San Diego was chosen because of its reputation as a national leader in problem-oriented policing."

State Police and Community Policing
From the Introduction: "The standard images that many of us associate with community policing tend to center on Officer Friendly, foot patrol, bike patrol, crime prevention programs, community meetings, and police activities for youth. These images mainly correspond with the community engagement and partnership elements of community policing. These are not the images that most of us associate with state police or highway patrol, however. State police seem more serious, more remote, and primarily focused on law enforcement, especially traffic enforcement. Popular images and stereotypes often have some basis in reality, but they are also frequently inaccurate or exaggerated. That is the case with respect to state police and community policing. [...] This report provides a brief description of state policing in the United States followed by a more detailed discussion of the factors that seem to contribute to contradictory notions of its fit or misfit with community policing. Then we describe several specific ways in which state police can adopt and implement the core elements of community policing with practical real-life examples. It is hoped that the discussion and examples will encourage all state police agencies to make community policing an important component of their organizational strategy"

E-COP: Using the Web to Enhance Community Oriented Policing
"The aim of this non-technical publication is to describe and illustrate the many ways that law enforcement agencies are using the Internet, websites, and other digital techniques to enhance their community policing efforts. A lot of examples are provided, but a lot of technical information is not. This publication will show examples that a police department may want to implement; however, readers will have to look elsewhere for the how-to part. Most agencies or their parent governments have this technical capability, so the bigger challenge, which this publication is meant to help address, is imagining what could be done. While 'E-COP' focuses heavily on police Internet and web applications, the line between these and other digital applications can be rather blurry, as smartphones and tablet devices illustrate. Thus, this publication highlights digital technologies beyond computers and websites that have the potential to enhance community policing. Mobile handheld computing, including smartphones, is an aspect of modern technology that is currently experiencing particularly rapid development and one that seems likely to have more and more implications for policing in the near future. This intentionally brief publication does not provide an in-depth discussion about community policing because that can easily be located elsewhere. Nor does it provide 10 or 20 examples of each facet of e-policing. Rather, just a few interesting examples of each facet are presented. Again, the primary aim is to illustrate ways in which e-policing can support and enhance community policing, not to canvass every possible combination and permutation."

Police Department: Information Systems Technology Enhancement Project, ISTEP
"The Information Systems Technology Enhancement Project (ISTEP), funded by the
Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, focuses on enhancing the use of
information in the context of community policing. Enhancements are implemented
through two related but separate initiatives: (1) improvements in police information systems technology (e.g., hardware, software, connectivity) and (2) improvements in police data analysis methods (e.g., crime analysis, operations analysis)."

National Police Research Platform: The Life Course of New Officers
"The National Police Research Platform is funded by the National Institute of Justice to advance knowledge and practice in American policing though the systematic collection of data from police officers and police organizations. At the core of the Platform is a plan to follow the life course of new officers from their first day at the training academy until they leave the force. The Platform is designed to identify factors that influence officers over time, such as their background and personality characteristics, training experiences, peers, supervisors, job assignments and significant life events. Information on the life course of officers should be useful for guiding management and supervisory strategies pertaining to recruitment, training, retention, productivity, accountability and human services. At the street level, the data generated by the Platform should help enhance the health and welfare of young officers and increase the quality of police services to the community."
