9,000 US law enforcement agencies reveal:
The American Association for the Advancement of Science presented a mathematical model that predicts the likelihood that a police force can conquer a new drug market or end a rash of burglaries. Treating criminal behavior as a deterministic system they created equations, based on Los Angeles Police Department data, that describe the movement of neighborhood crime.

US Dept of Justice US Supreme Court MIRANDA v. ARIZONA, 384 U.S. 436 (1966) FBI Central Records System Classification Codes correspond to the first three numbers of any FBI file and are used to designate the type of investigation.

National Geographic Goes Inside the FBI In 1928 Justice Louis D. Brandeis made a prediction that the government may find ways to reproduce documents in court without removing them from "private drawers." Such methods, he warned, will expose "the most intimate occurrences of the home." Miles Corwin, a reporter, spent the summer of 1994 shadowing a pair of homicide detectives as they investigated their share of the 400-plus killings that bloodied the streets of gang-infested South-central Los Angeles that year. Police departments stress the importance of relationships between police departments and residents. This considers web sites in terms of value and usefulness to citizens, achieving department informational goals, and identifiying the essentials of a police department web site.
Jihad In Brooklyn: The NYPD Raid That Stopped America's First Suicide Bombers -- New York has always been a mecca for immigrants, including an Egyptian dishwasher living in a cramped Brooklyn apartment he shared with three other Middle-Eastern men. But on July 31, 1997, the last place he wanted to be was home, where two of his roommates-young, angry Palestinians-were proudly showing off the bomb belts they planned to detonate on a packed rush-hour subway train. Barely able to stifle his panic, the Egyptian told two policemen his story. Within minutes, they were in a Brooklyn precinct house, and the NYPD's famous Emergency Services Unit was on their way. The brave men of the NYPD ESU staged a daring 5 AM raid on the sweltering, filthy tenement apartment, stopping the terrorists- who literally had their fingers on the switches of the bombs. Hundreds-perhaps thousands-of lives were saved. This is their frightening, true story.
City Confidential: Paradise Valley The town isn't much more than a bar, trailer park and a couple hundred miles of painted desert. But in 1980, Paradise Valley was thrust into the national spotlight following the murder of two game wardens. The events that led up the murders and the manhunt that followed, which saw a man named Claude Dallas targeted by local, state and federal authorities. In a tapestry of contemporary accounts, interviews with the officers who searched for Dallas, testimony from those who knew him, and extensive footage. What emerges is a portrait of a man willing to take any risk to avoid going to jail, and one whose occupation and attitude has made him a folk hero to some, despite the crimes he committed. On the edge of nowhere, a small town obtained a measure of fame from a saga that calls to mind frontier times. San Francisco Vice -- Policing morality has always been problematic in law enforcement. And in San Francisco, where morality and related laws shift constantly, it is more complicated. In the 1950's it was illegal to serve a known homosexual alcohol. In the '90s, there are clubs where people dress up as slaves and pay for the privilege of a whipping and it is legal. In a shocking look at the world of pimps, prostitutes and bookies detective Sue Rolovich snares Johns by impersonating a streetwalker. Listen in with surveillance teams as pimps talk about their women and the "victimless" crime they pursue. Ride along on busts and stakeouts, and hear stories from the officers who patrol the seedy underside of society. Kari & Associates Copyright Kari Sable 1994-2011 |
