The Future of Police Operations includes papers with the main emphasis on law enforcement operational issues including environmental law enforcement, and several papers on community policing. Papers that have operational implications on such diverse topics as land use and property rights, the war on drugs, casino gambling, and physician assisted suicide. Subsections of Police Operations are community policing; crime and criminal investigations; police services; special operations; and training.
