Policing And Special Units

The success of the two dominant functions in policing--patrol and criminal investigations--are significantly enhanced by the support of special units. InPolicing and Special Units,Dr. Peter Phillips and co-authors examine a representative sample of special units such as bias crime, SWAT, drug and gang, and demonstrate the support functions these units provide to patrol and criminal investigations. This volume goes far beyond mere description of special units. Experts from the field demonstrate the support functions these units provide and discuss the criteria for decision-making and management issues regarding the development of special units.Phillips, Peter W. is the author of 'Policing And Special Units', published 2004 under ISBN 9780130482112 and ISBN 0130482110.
