Community Policing:

"This work speaks to those working the streets in a manner that they will welcome—no lofty or ambiguous ideals, just down-to-earth plain talk loaded with common sense.... From his own experience as both a beat officer and a supervisor of beat officers, Rahtz points out the roadblocks that can hinder or even kill an effort to sincerely implement the tenets of community policing."—Carole Saari, Criminal Justice Review

"Anyone interested in policing would be well served by reading this book."—Security Management Magazine

"Packed with real life examples and sound recommendations, this book will enhance any officer’s understanding of this essential philosophy—as well as their street effectiveness."— Ray Nash, Police Dynamics Institute

"[Rahtz] has done a great job of explaining the benefits of COP from the perspective of the beat cop."—Vernon Chenevey, Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission
