Emerging Trends and Issues in Smaller Law Enforcement Agencies Focus Group Report

Document

The landscape of policing in America is changing rapidly. It is impacted by recent high profile events covered by the media, changing expectations from the community, and an increasing reliance on new technologies. While the missions of all 18,000 law enforcement agencies across America remain similar, the methods of operation, practices, and access to resources and training vary greatly.

Outside of the attention given to high profile agencies in major cities, there’s a different picture across the rest of the country. Smaller agencies in communities of 50,000 or less represent the majority of law enforcement agencies.

The goal of this document is to report on current trends, emerging issues, and concerns of smaller law enforcement agencies, so that we can identify and address current and future needs. In order for major support initiatives to move forward, innovative outside the box thinking is needed to face future complex issues that smaller agencies will encounter.
