Center on Quality Policing | RAND

Center on Quality Policing | RAND

The RAND Center on Quality Policing (CQP) provides research and analysis on contemporary police practice and policy. By determining what practices are most cost-effective and results-oriented, the Center's work helps law enforcement agencies across the United States make better operational decisions and consistently perform at their best.

The RAND Center on Quality Policing (CQP) "provides research and analysis on contemporary police practice and policy." Their work includes research on the prevention of racial profiling, improving police-community relations, and reducing community violence. On their homepage, visitors can scroll on down to their "Featured Project" area which profiles one of their recent works, such as the police recruitment and retention clearinghouse. On the right-hand side of the homepage, visitors can read current and past issues of the CQP Newsletter dating back to 2006. The "Recent Publications and Activities" area features timely policy documents, including "Enforcing Immigration Law at the State and Local Levels: A Public Policy Dilemma" and "What Cost-of-Crime Research Can Tell Us About Investing in Police". Also, visitors are encouraged to follow the CQP's activities on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The site is rounded out by information about staff members and contact details. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2010. http://scout.wisc.edu/
