Millions of dollars paid by cities each year to settle police misconduct cases. What is happening to our nation's police and what can we do about it? In this hard-hitting book, Chief David Couper outlines the seven steps police must take in order to improve. You may find they apply to your workplace as well. He speaks with authority, wisdom, and experience.AUTHOR’S BIOGRAPHYChief Couper led the Madison Police Department for over twenty years (1972-1993). During this time, the department successfully handled hundreds of public protests without incident, implemented a collaborative leadership style, and brought women and minorities into the department. Since his retirement he has been concerned about the militarization of our nation's police and their slow progress which has arrested their development. He served as a police officer in Edina and Minneapolis before being chosen to lead the Burnsville and Madison police departments. This is his third book on policing.
