Course Description

Although police dramas, documentaries and reality shows have been staples of American popular culture for decades, few citizens understand the history, organization and evolution of the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies. Today, as demands for police reform continue to roil American politics, concerned citizens can benefit from a basic understanding of American policing. We’ll examine the history of American law enforcement and police organization and operations, highlighting key issues in the debate over the future of American policing, including organization, hiring, training, use of force, promotions, leadership and civilian oversight.
