From counterterrorism to tracking criminals by satellite Safir's Security gives an expert's tour of 21st century law enforcement, and reveals the tools, methods, and science that police officers use to reduce crime, and track and apprehend criminals, including surveillance, crime scene evidence, DNA profiling, narcotics and quality of life enforcement.

Security gives insight into how methods of enforcement need to be adapted to prevent terrorism, a look into the workings of a police department, and examines how the NYPD drastically reduced crime with Goal-Oriented Neighborhood Policing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Self-serving, repetitive, January 19, 2007
This review is from: Security: An Inside Look at the Tactics of the NYPD (Paperback)
I paid $2 for this book at the bargain bin of my local grocery store. I may have receive my money's worth, but then again . . .

There was some interesting information in the book about the change in police policies and tactics in light of NYC's past crime problems. But most of the book was Safir tooting his own horn and the book could have been written in half the number of pages if he didn't repeat many things at various places in the book.
