Once
it was enough to catch drug dealers, lock them up, and hope the court would
really dispense justice this time. Now you have to give a speech about it!
If you're a community
police officer, you need to know a lot more than you learned back in Criminal
Justice 1. You need to know how to:
- Build trust in
the neighborhood
- Plan a community
forum
- Lead a business
meeting
- Relate to people
of differing ethnic backgrounds
- Work in small
groups
- Generate creative
ideas
- Handle the media
- Give a talk
If you face these
challenges, COP Talk is for you. This text provides concrete
ways to improve your communication skills. It can help you be more successful
as you work with community residents, fellow officers, government officials,
business leaders, and the media. Concise, up-to-date, and enjoyable
to read, COPTalk takes proven academic principles and blends
them with pracical skill-building tools tailored to the special needs
of community police.
