This book remedies the problem of lack of information on state law enforcement organizations. It provides specific information on the backgrounds of state police, highway patrols, and investigative agencies, and describes organization structure, primary duties, jurisdiction, and educational and training qualifications of sworn personnel. Information is provided both on the larger and better known agencies such as the California Highway Patrol and the New York State Police, and on smaller agencies like the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Likely to be of greatest interest and usefulness in criminal justice collections and large public libraries, this handbook and directory fills a void in the literature as `few texts dealing with state law enforcement organizations and department agencies in general have been published in recent years.' [This] Handbook provides a more thorough description of state police activities and will be useful in libraries where there is demand for this information.”–Reference Books Bulletin
