Proactive Police Management
Proactive Police Management continues to be used widely throughout the nation as a text for college courses and as a reference for police administrators and aspiring supervisors.

Proactive police managers must continually have open communication with the major stakeholders within the community in order for the department's objectives to be accomplished.
