| Publisher Description: This book captures the 30 most popular posts from over 1,000 presently on the weblog "Improving Police"(www.improvingpolice.wordpress.com). The author is a veteran police chief who served three decades in municipal policing and continues to contribute to improving police as an author, blogger, and national commentator. He began writing these essays in late 2011, just before his book Arrested Development: A Veteran Police Chief Sounds Off About Protest, Racism, Corruption and the Seven Steps Necessary to Improve Our Nation's Police was published in 2012. He has also written several articles in local media, USA Today, and The Progressive magazine. After Michael Brown was shot in 2014, and the city in which Couper once served was involved in two publicly criticized police shootings, his weblog took on new interest both locally and nationally. Since that time, he has offered ways in which police can improve their practices and build trust and support in their communities - all of which are necessary for them to be effective and safe. He hopes you will read this book, follow him on line, and engage in this most important task to improve our police. |
