The Police Foundation was established in 1970 to develop, test, and disseminate ideas about how best to deliver police services by meeting public expectations of what the police role should entail.
Abstract
This annual report describes the activities of the Police Foundation in 1992. The National Center for the Study of Police and Civil Disorder was created to enable police departments to plan for and to prevent civil disorders and, if necessary, to control them in an effort to minimize the damage to the community. The National Center programs will include an integrated information clearinghouse, fellowships and graduate internships, a research center, technical assistance, publications, and conference sponsorship. The foundation's research agenda has placed increasing emphasis on studying the interaction between the police and the public and the resulting impact on the community. Other research areas include domestic violence, police cadet training, child abuse investigations, and substance abuse prevention programs. The foundation provides assistance to police departments nationwide by improving community relations and police service delivery and by enhancing public safety on campus. The foundation's Communications Division carries out a wide range of media relations, publications, public affairs, and dissemination activities. This report presents the foundation's financial statements for fiscal years 1991 and 1992.
