| Urban Policing in the 21st Century By Charles McNeeley (Final Copy/2nd Edition – Hard Cover Only) This text is essentially a “how-to” book that, hopefully, will stimulate a candidate for police promotion to utilize his or her most valuable asset-good sense. It is the primary purpose of this book to assist current or potential supervisors to recognize the differing assumptions that they hold about society, their agency, fellow officers, and even themselves. That recognition should result in a rededicated focus on proficiency and overall effectiveness. It will surely impact an individual’s ability to participate in the creation and maintenance of an effective organization. This book is unique in that it combines traditional and well-established behavioral theory with personal insights from the author’s thirty-two plus years of experience at urban policing, from a beat officer up through the ranks to “Commander of Police” in one of our nation’s largest police departments. While this book emphasizes the role of the first line supervisor, its contents are clearly of equal value to a supervisor at any level within the organization. Hardcover: 207 pages |

This text reflects a concept in police supervisory manuals that has been long overdue and will endure. It will be an essential tool for officers preparing for promotion. Price: $39.95 |
| Community Policing: Building Inclusive Communities By Charles McNeeley (Soft Cover Only) This text provides a comprehensive analysis of community policing, a modern and effective paradigm of policing that can successfully replace the traditional “professional law enforcement” model of police work.

This text not only details the core components of community policing, but also extensively describes initiatives in eight cities of various sizes throughout the country. The impact that community policing has had on not only neighborhoods but police personnel as well is discussed in detail, as is the phenomenon of the “broken windows” philosophy. Finally, this text details how to implement a community policing strategy, and discusses the future of the community policing movement. Paperback: 143 pages |
