Leadership Philosophy: Expand Your Mind
Gunnery Sergeant Darnell E. Patton, USMC
 
Leadership comes in many different shapes and forms. As leadership comes in different shapes and forms, so does leadership philosophies. There are people from all walks of life who have their own philosophy on leadership. Who's to say which is right and which is wrong? But if you expand your mind and allow your leadership to grow, you will benefit any organization.
 


 

The 3 Cs of Ethical Leadership
By Sergeant David Ferrante, Parma Police Department 
 
Unfortunately, all supervisors or managers are not leaders. A good cop is genuinely a leader to the community they serve. But everyone in a position of authority is not really a leader. A well rounded leader possesses the 3 Cs: character, charisma, and compassion. These are the core foundation of ethical leadership.

Integrated Biometrics Identification System
By Corporal William McCombs, Chino Police Department 
 
A recent benefit of computer technology is the ability for a police officer to transmit a record of an individual's fingerprint impressions from the field and receive confirmation of identity in the amount of time a routine detention takes.  Devices such as the Integrated Biometric Identification System (IBIS) or Remote Data Terminal (RDT) make it possible to catch wanted persons while they are stopped, regardless of the name or identification they provide.

Preventing Iraq from Slipping Back into Sectarian Chaos 
By Dr. W. Andrew Terrill, Strategic Studies Institute 
 
It is at least possible, if not likely, that different choices on two key 2003 U.S. decisions would have allowed the United States to withdraw most of its troops from Iraq well before the present date. The two decisions that are now widely understood to have been disastrous mistakes are the dissolution of the Iraqi Army and the decision to pursue harsh punitive actions against vast numbers of former Ba'ath party members beyond the leadership of Saddam's regime. Both decisions alienated Iraq's Sunni Arabs and opened the door for a strong al-Qaeda presence in Iraq. Despite the remonstrations of the former Chief Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), it is well understood that abolishing the Iraqi military rather than issuing a selective, voluntary recall was one of the worst mistakes of the war.
 


 

2008 NCTC Report on Terrorism2008 NCTC Report on Terrorism
 
Consistent with its statutory mission to serve as the U.S. Government's knowledge bank on international terrorism, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is providing this report and statistical information to assist academics, policy makers and the public in understanding the data. The statistical information included in this report is drawn from the data NCTC maintains on the www.nctc.gov website.
 
Female Suspects: They Can Hurt You!
By Sergeant Andrew Hawkes, Collin County Sheriff's Office

We have all done it, felt way to relaxed when dealing with a female suspect.  We're big, bad, tough cops right? Whether we are male or female, we often tend to let our guard down when dealing with a female.  We are the ones in uniform; that makes us ten feet tall and bulletproof, Yes? Especially you male officers, a woman isn't going to be able to hurt you right?
 
August 2009 National Victim Assistance Academy
 
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) in the U.S. Department of Justice sponsors the National Victim Assistance Academy (NVAA). The NVAA is comprised of education and skill-based classroom trainings for those who assist victims and survivors of crime. Following a formal evaluation in 2003, the NVAA was redesigned to better address the skills and abilities that are required of victim service professionals. The revised NVAA was launched in 2007 and includes three distinct tracks tailored to the needs of each participant. All three tracks will be offered during the week-long 2009 Academy.
 
Police Can Now Update Radios Without Taking Them to the Shop

Police are increasingly using new technology to update their radio equipment, saving their departments precious time and money. Over-the-Air maintenance, or OTA, allows police departments to update radio software and change a radio's features by beaming the updates directly to the radios. OTA has been available to military and cellular networks for years. The technology is especially helpful in regional emergencies where public safety organizations need to communicate effectively across state and county lines.
