Protecting Police & Engaging Citizens
The nature of police work must ensure that is as adaptable, sophisticated, networked, and transnational as the criminals and terrorists it fights.

Police in foreign countries are substantially armed, and their demeanor is qualitatively different from their peers assigned to airports...
