Synopsis:

This book is designed as a how-to manual and as a source of ideas for law enforcement administrators and other government officials involved in staffing issues in law enforcement. The book rests on the assumption that talent hired at the entry level should be retained and developed at every level of the law enforcement organization; and that finding candidates who possess the desired characteristics is a proactive process that must be purposely structured into the recruitment and selection process. The book offers a collection of standards in the law enforcement profession, legal mandates, best practices, and recommendations based on criminal justice research, all of which can be modified to fit the specific organization. Many chapters include appendices of checklists, data analysis and assessment tools, and surveys. The layout offers larger type with many bullet points and process diagrams. Oliver, a former police chief, now directs the criminal justice program at Cedarville University. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
