Shooting Range Development provides tips for planning and building a successful shooting range. Know Your Trainer provides guidance on how police officials can hire the best trainers for their departments. CompStat Hybrids details smaller law enforcement agencies that have developed their own hybrid version of CompStat using the software, programs, and strategies that best fit their needs. CompStat: Too Big for the Small Department? - examines how any police department, whether large or small can benefit from the use of CompStat. Pushing the Envelope discusses the use of PUSH (Positioning Units Strategically in Hotspots), a new improvement on the common patrol area concept that allows officers to be unassigned so that they can be deployed as needed where major incidents are occurring.
