Extended training reduces number of police-on-police shootings - 0 views

  •  
    According to a 2010 report from a New York State Task Force, incidents of police-on-police shootings occurred 26 times between 1981 and 2009.

With less than a year on the job, McCarthy had already disbanded two special task forces, roving teams that muscled neighborhoods into submission. Now he was betting on what he calls "the next phase of community policing in this world": an emphasis not on the traditional "hot spots" for crime, but on the "hot people" who commit most criminal acts.

Increasingly Complex Operations Force Rapid Changes in Army Training - 0 views

  •  
    The Army released its "Training for Full Spectrum Operations" field manual in December 2008. A few short months later, work had already begun on revisions.
