COPS Releases Crime Fighting Guides

The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Policing (COPS) recently released eight publications in a series of crime-specific guides for police.

The guides include "Assaults in and Around Bars," "Street Prostitution," and "False Burglar Alarms."

COPS Director Carl R. Peed says the guides are designed "to help agencies better understand the causes of these crimes, and to proactively implement strategies that address the factors contributiong to their occurrence."
