their own communities.

policing, such as prisoner re-entry into the community, homeland security
initiatives, racial/ethnic diversity in communities, police ethics,
immigration, and identity theft reflects the current concerns of today's

environment they enter.

skills and strategies policing professionals can use while interacting and
problem solving with an increasingly diverse American population.
