Annotation

POLICE PERSONNEL AND EDUCATORS SHOULD COMBINE THEIR TALENTS AND EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO NARROW THE GAP BETWEEN CRIMINAL JUSTICE CURRICULA AND ACTUAL PRACTICE.

Abstract

A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIP SHOULD BE AND CAN BE DEVELOPED BETWEEN EDUCATORS AND POLICE PERSONNEL ON THE BASIS OF PTO (PARTICIPATION, TRUST, AND OPENNESS). THE AUTHOR CONTENDS THAT THIS RELATIONSHIP WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT MERELY COPE WITH, BUT ACCEPTS AND MOLDS COMPLEX DEMANDS FOR SERVICE INTO A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE POLICE DELIVERY SYSTEM.
