In Everyone a Sheriff, the word "sheriff" serves as a metaphor for programs involving citizens in social control initiatives. Partnership between community members and their local police force is at the heart of any effective strategy aimed at reducing urban crime and insecurity. Ordinary community residents represent a vast, untapped resource in the fight against crime, disorder, and fear. The real story of citizens long association with the policing function is revealed. The book highlights include: an in-depth examination of volunteerism primarily at the law enforcement level; the importance of preparing youth and minorities for careers in policing and homeland security; the need for transitioning police and citizen volunteers from serving not only as peacekeepers, but becoming "peacemakers"; a realistic view of various pitfalls when regular and volunteer police are thrust into patterns of co-existence when fighting crime out on the street or seeking solutions to crime; numerous examples of current police-sponsored citizen academies, police cadet and junior deputy programs; histories of the invention of police and citizen-supported neighborhood crime watch programs. The only way to successfully cross the divide between the police and public is to give meaning to the phrase: "the police are the people, and the people are the police."

• Synthesized the current (sometimes confusing) nature of the structure of police education in the United States and proposes a viable model for a decentralized police training program at the precinct level • Appeals to professionals, policymakers, and citizens concerned with bettering the processes of basic and in-service training of police forces • Takes a practical approach to police education that is grounded in research and response to the crisis of confidence and legitimacy among the communities served

Today, it is estimated there are over 200,000 volunteers in police work throughout the United States. Although the need for such volunteers has never been greater, there is a lack of published materials regarding the nature of volunteer police work and how qualified citizens may augment police services. American Volunteer Police: Mobilizing for Security provides a selective overview of the history, organizations, operations, and legal aspects of volunteer police in various U.S. states and territories. Designed to help police leaders adopt or modify their own volunteer programs, the book: Highlights what average Americans have done and are currently doing to safeguard their communities Presents contributions of police and safety volunteers at all levels of government—including the work of FEMA volunteers, the Civil Air Patrol, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary Examines youth involvement in contemporary police departments Discusses a variety of legal matters concerning volunteer participation in policing Includes the latest Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) standards concerning auxiliary and reserve police Explores new roles for volunteer police, including the treatment of homeless persons, the prevention of human trafficking, violence prevention in schools, immigration and border protection, and the establishment of college-level reserve police officer training cadet programs Framed by modern concerns for homeland security and community safety, the book places the topic in historical and international contexts. It will serve as a catalyst for the development of courses as well as growth in the number of qualified volunteer police, a necessary resource for homeland security. A 103-page online instructional manual is available for instructors who have adopted this book. It includes model answers to each of the review questions found at the end of each chapter as well as additional student exercises and related updated references.

This book is about the times and public career of Eliot Howland Lumbard, a lawyer who most of his life lived and worked in Manhattan and whose legal career spanned more than fifty years beginning in the early 1950s. He was not your "ordinary lawman." In fact, he might easily have been identified as a "Renaissance Lawman." The concept was introduced by the National Advisory Commission on Higher Education for Police Officers referring to the graduation of future officers who would be sufficiently knowledgeable in order to develop and deliver better programs for coping with crime (see Sherman 1978). While Lumbard gained considerable expertise in the operations of the political and justice systems, he proceeded to capitalize on this knowledge to become both an advocate and initiator of progressive reforms. His activities are juxtaposed with many of the major historical developments of his time. This is done so the reader might be able to fit a little into the "shoes" of Lumbard and some of those other persons whose careers and interests overlapped with his. The greatest emphasis is given to the various public service aspects of Lumbard's life and those of his generation. The chronicled events should help readers better understand what motivated the people to behave as they did since the world today is a much different place than what Americans were experiencing in the first three decades after WW II. Cultural and technological changes have combined to make our present-day world quite different from over a half-century ago. Consider that in the spring of 2019 two NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch will make history by becoming the first all-women team to perform a spacewalk outside the International Space Station, but back in the 1960s, being a flight attendant was very often a young woman's dream. Readers interested in police work, WW II, civil rights, organized crime, legal ethics, criminal justice history, public service leadership, American government, policy making for crime control, the publishing process, computer-based criminal justice record systems, and the history and state of the maritime service should find this book especially rewarding. There are no other comparable books on the market. Lumbard bad a unique legal career and his contributions have seldom, if ever, been duplicated. His contributions on behalf of public safety have been largely forgotten.
