Improving police and their accountability, and evaluating their leaders is a daunting task. But not an impossible one. And we will all benefit from the effort. Most folks know little about police and what they should expect from them. Follow my blog at http://improvingpolice.wordpress.com for answers and where I discuss even more issues facing police and how improvements that are made can be sustained! After all, we all want police in our communities who are well-trained, controlled in their use of force, honest, courteous to every one of us, and closely connected to the communities they serve.
