Hiring for the 21st Century Law Enforcement Officer: Challenges, Opportunities, and Strategies for Success
"The Final Report of the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing noted that the quality of American policing depends upon the quality of its officers and stressed the importance of hiring individuals who reflect the diversity and values of the community - and also have the character and social skills to positively engage with it. This was emphasized in a later task force meeting with President Obama, who asked the COPS [Community Oriented Policing Services] Office to explore promising practices and policies for hiring and retaining officers who meet these requirements. In response, the COPS Office and the Police Executive Research Forum hosted the Hiring for the 21st Century Law Enforcement Officer forum. This report details the discussions and recommendations of the forum, which included experts in police standards, screening, and hiring. Their insights and recommendations in areas such as psychological screening, educational requirements, promotion policies, and methods for retaining the best officers can be of great value to Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) commissions, HR [Human Resources], and agency executives."

Policing Issues in Garrison Communities
"In garrison communities, police agencies must have similar understandings with military organizations, just as they do with their neighboring police agencies, regarding active shooter incidents and other issues that may require joint responses. In an effort to help these agencies achieve such goals and objectives, the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), in partnership with the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), held a meeting on October 15, 2015 in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a city that borders Fort Bragg, one of the largest U.S. Army installations in the nation. There, civilian law enforcement officials and their military partners discussed promising practices for policing garrison communities and introduced recommendations for future engagement and partnerships. Participants discussed a number of issues that require joint civilian and military police cooperation and innovation, including the response to active shooter scenarios and other critical incidents; interoperability of radios and communications equipment; and law enforcement responses to persons with mental illness, drug abuse, and human trafficking for purposes of prostitution. This publication serves as a summary of that conference and outlines the major challenges that police agencies highlighted as consequences of adjoining a major military base. Additionally, this report presents promising practices shared by participants and recommendations for improving coordination between civilian and military agencies."

Labor and Management Roundtable Discussions: Collaborating to Address Key Challenges in Policing
"Since the early part of the 21st century, changes within the field of policing have created new challenges on multiple fronts. For example, today's law enforcement executives must become experts on a wide variety of advances in technology, such as the proliferation of social media and the use of body-worn cameras. Recruiting, training, and retaining a qualified and diverse workforce has become more complex for many reasons, such as changes in the attitudes of young people about making long-term commitment to a single employer or even a single career. And as managers are being asked to do more with less, they must pay close attention to the impact this has on officer safety and wellness. In light of these new challenges, it is more important than ever for police executives and police labor leaders to work together. Although labor and management in policing historically have viewed one another with suspicion, fortunately that way of thinking is beginning to change. The new model for labor and management relationships emphasizes finding common ground and working together to achieve shared goals. Many of these common goals are about protecting and serving the community; promoting officer safety and wellness; and building strong, diverse police departments."

Law Enforcement Cyber Center [website]
"The Cyber Center is a collaborative project of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), RAND Corporation, and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), and is made possible by funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, at the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs. The Cyber Center was developed to enhance the awareness, expand the education, and build the capacity of justice and public safety agencies to prevent, investigate, prosecute, and respond to cyber threats and cyber crimes. It is intended to be a national resource for law enforcement and related justice and public safety entities. The Cyber Center addresses three principal functional areas: Cyber crime investigations, Digital forensics, [and ]Information systems security. Much of the information available on this site has been developed specifically for the Cyber Center, but there are also links to useful outside resources. This should not be considered an exhaustive list of information pertaining to cyber security, investigations, digital forensics, and legal considerations, but is intended to provide interested readers with links to further information."

Protecting Your Community from Terrorism: Strategies for Local Law Enforcement - Vol. 5: Partnerships to Promote Homeland Security
"This white paper--the fifth in a series--is based on the thoughtful contributions of many experts in policing, counterterrorism and other related fields. We thank those individuals, from every level of government, who came together in an executive session supported by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to create the foundation for this writing. Those participants (listed in Appendix A) demonstrated that a tremendous amount of progress could be made when you get the right people in a room who are candid and tremendously knowledgeable. Any value this paper has to the field is due to their contributions."
