Publisher Description:
Are we a nation in crisis? A look at media headlines reflect that the police forces in America are at a crossroad. In this detailed and informative book, A National Police in America "Is it Time for Change?", retired U. S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Curtis Page, Jr highlights published reports that there are more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies throughout the US supported by approximately 1.1 million people. Could this broad structure contribute to system dysfunctions? To begin to answer this question and initiate solutions that can heal a national illness in law enforcement, we need a pragmatic analysis. Is it time for the people of the United States of America to consider a transformation of public safety to a centrally managed National Police Organization (NPO)? However, could national government be trusted to organize, manage resources, and provide transformational leadership to local communities? A National Police in America "Is it Time for Change?" will take the reader on a historic journey back to the origins of police in pre-colonial America to present day law enforcement in the U.S.. Also, explore the question; would a National Police Agency violate the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Analyze a comparative review of the police systems of Canada, Russia, Japan, and Italy; do they offer a glimpse of other possibilities for the US? Read the insights and opinions of many key and influential persons on the issues of law enforcement. Whether you believe a National Police Order is the answer or not, A National Police in America "Is it Time for Change?" is a must read for every US citizen, every US law enforcement officer, and every US legislative representative.
