NIBRS 2021: Prepare Your Agency for the New and Improved Crime Reporting System

The National Incident-Based Reporting System offers law enforcement many advantages over the Uniform Crime Reporting program.

High-Risk Arrest Tactics

Work as a team with at least one other officer to apprehend a high-risk subject as safely as possible.

December 16, 2018

Every law enforcement officer's go bag contains staple duty gear items, and usually some highly personal items, too.

Equilibrium

It is tough to have effective training when the troops are not receptive to the message.
