Abstract
THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF SECOND-YEAR FUNDING WAS THE CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THOSE ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND WHICH WERE NECESSARILY REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SUSTAINMENT AND FURTHER IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROGRAM. OTHER OBJECTIVES REQUIRED CONTINUED FUNDING SO THAT EXPANSION OF VITAL AREAS MIGHT BE REALIZED AND THE POSITION OF THE PROGRAM COULD BE STRENGTHENED IN COMPARISON TO OTHER UNIVERSITY DISCIPLINES. SOME OF THESE OBJECTIVES REPRESENTED SHORT TERM GOALS WHICH IT WAS ANTICIPATED COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN A YEAR'S TIME. OTHER OBJECTIVES, SUCH AS THE ADDITION OF A GRADUATE PROGRAM, ALTHOUGH CLEARLY WITHIN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY AT SOME FUTURE TIME, WOULD NATURALLY HAVE TO AWAIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM WHICH AFFORDED A NECESSARY FOUNDATION FOR SUCH GROWTH. THE IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVES ARE - (1) INCREASE IN STUDENT POPULATION (2) ADDITION OF NEW SPECIALIZED COURSES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT (3) EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT (4) INITIATION OF A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM (5) VISITING LECTURERS (6) ADDITIONS TO THE AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS LIBRARY (7) ADDITION OF NEW BOOKS AND JOURNALS TO THE UNIVERSITY AND DEPARTMENT LIBRARIES (8) INCREASE IN TEACHING FACULTY (9) INITIATION OF A CERTIFICATE PROGRAM (10) INITIATION OF CORRESPONDENCE COURSES. LONG RANGE OBJECTIVES ARE - 1) DEVELOPMENT OF A GRADUATE PROGRAM AND (2) DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADULT-EDUCATION PROGRAM TO PROVIDE IN-SERVICE OFFICERS WITH CONTINUING TRAINING SESSIONS, SEMINARS, AND SHORT COURSES.
