Hi Tech Criminal Justice Newsletter |
| |
Dear Raymond,
November continues the dual themes of terrorism and leadership, with a
small side trip to England.
We are committed to searching out and bringing you critical
information on open source intelligence on the Global War on Terrorism.
This edition contains two critical sources for you.
We welcome to the newsletter three writers on leadership. Their
outstanding practitioner and academic credentials certainly enhance
their articles on change and ethics.
Our English correspondent, Jimmy Lee Shreeve, provides a short side
trip to England. Jimmy is currently working on a book for Random House
on human and ritual sacrifice in the 21st Century. Perhaps, that's why
his barber detours him into pursuing a story on an alleged snuff murder.

US Department of State adds ListServ on Terrorism |
|
| |
|
The United States Department of State (DOS) provides a number of Open
Source Intelligence feeds via Podcast, RSS Feeds and ListServs. Most
recently, DOS added "DOSDESIGNATIONS," a list specifically for U.S.
companies that want to avoid doing business with terrorists and terrorist
organizations designated by the Secretary of State
There are 18 other ListServs, including "DOSTRAVEL," a list that
provides notification of updates to the Travel Warnings issued when the
State Department decides, based on all relevant information, to recommend
that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Countries where
avoidance of travel is recommended will have Travel Warnings as well as
Consular Information Sheets and Public Announcements. You can expect the
DOSTRAVEL list to generate an average of 10-15 email messages per month.
Other ListServs include "DOSBACK" which are Background Notes, updated
periodically and include information on U.S. bilateral relations with
foreign countries and on their governments, political conditions, and
foreign relations. Via DOSBACK you will receive the full-text version of
newly released Background Notes. You can expect the DOSBACK list to
generate about 20-30 email messages per month

Leadership Issues: Managing Change |
|
|
by Rick Michelson |
|
Managing despite the 3% at 50 rules and changing generations; From Boomers
to Nexters What's next?
Perhaps Jimmy Buffet had it right; ones attitudes will change with ones
perspective. Leadership in public safety agencies, particularly police
agencies, is at a critical crossroads. Early retirement incentives have
enticed experienced personnel to leave their departments in mass numbers,
creating a shortage of experienced supervisors.
In addition, there has been a graying of the department with the
majority of the existing leaders in the Baby Boomer generation (those born
between 1943 and 1960) all reaching retirement age at or about the same
time. A third contributing factor in the leadership crisis is budgetary
constraints as a result of less government funding and under-funded
pensions, resulting in fewer dollars for training.

Ethics: How Essential Is It? |
|
|
by Mark Sullivan, PhD, University of Connecticut and Lieutenant Darren
Stewart, MBA, Stonington PD |
|
Sergeant Joan Smith arrives for work at her police department fifteen
minutes early. She likes working midnights and enjoys working at what she
feels is an excellent police department. Most of all, she enjoys the
teamwork of her shift, because she has a motivated group of officers
working for her. Sergeant Smith is a good employee and does an outstanding
job for her police department.
As she walks down the hallway to the Sergeants office she says to
herself another midnight shift.I hope that it will be a quiet one this
morning-I have a lot of work to do. The stack of paperwork from the
previous mornings four arrests still awaits her attention, as well as,
evaluations for the past six- month period. She makes her way to roll call
and speaks with Sergeant Jones as he goes off duty.

Snuff County |
|
|
by Jimmy Lee Shreeve |
|
Getting a haircut leads crime beat journalist, Jimmy Lee Shreeve, onto a
bizarre and grisly trail of murder, hardcore porn and snuff movies in
darkest England.
The story of how I walked into a bizarre and grisly murder began in early
April this year. After a string of nightmare deadlines, I was badly in
need of some R&R and a haircut. So closed the lid of my laptop and took a
leisurely stroll over to my barbers, which is on the other side of
Mousehold Heath, a large woodland on the east of Norwich, England, where I
live.
It was a good opportunity to clear my head and take it easy. The sun
was shining and no one, not even a dog-walker, was around to disturb my
peace. So when I got to the barbers I was nicely relaxed. The good thing
about this particular barbers is the cutters don't normally say much.
Which is rare. Most places you go for a haircut are talkative. Too
talkative.

LAPD Authors.com Announces New Addition |
|
| |
|
Steve C. Rose, a retired Los Angeles police officer announced the release
of his new book Hit the Streets. According to Raymond E. Foster, editor,
LAPDAuthors.com, Rose was a Los Angeles Police Officer for 21 years.
Roses first book, Hit the Streets, gives the reader an inside look at
police work.
Rose joins the ranks of 26 retired and active Los Angeles Police
Officers who have authored books. Maybe its the proximity to Hollywood,
but LAPD officers have written more books than any other law enforcement
agency, Foster said. The 26 LAPD authors have written a combined total of
63 books. The subjects include academic works about policing, true crime
novels, biographical accounts of policing and some of the best cop
fiction ever written, Foster added.
Although lapdauthors.com only listed authors, Foster said that LAPD
officers have been very active writers in television and movies. Probably
the most famous former LAPD officer to write and produce in Hollywood was
Gene Roddenberry who is best known for creating Star Trek. However, the
authors arent far behind in notoriety. Joseph Wambaugh and Paul Bishop
are well-known writers of crime fiction, Foster said. The writers come
from all ranks within the department. Indeed, the current Chief of Police,
William Bratton, and two former chiefs, Daryl F. Gates and William H.
Parker are noted authors.
