The Institute for Law Enforcement Administration is pleased to announce the publication of a clear, rigorous and user-friendly book:

Time is Money: The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) and Law Enforcement Employment:
An Authoritative Explanation of the Fair Labor Standards Act for Law Enforcement Personnel … in Plain English

Written by Jeffrey Chamberlain, Attorney at Law

A critical and timely publication on the Fair Labor Standards Act and how it affects law enforcement personnel will be available for purchase in the Fall of 2009. This resource will prove invaluable as your agency navigates the complex world of FLSA law.

This work is a detailed explanation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, specifically as it applies to law enforcement employment and personnel, written “in plain English” (or, as the author says, “as close to English as the subject permits”).  It covers virtually every FLSA question likely to arise within police and corrections jobs nationwide, carefully organized and indexed to permit efficient use and includes extensive (but unobtrusive) legal references.  The work consists of 350+ pages, in looseleaf binding to permit periodic updating as legal developments warrant.

NATIONAL SUMMIT: POLICE USE OF FORCE
A Dialogue on Less-Lethal Weapons and In-custody Deaths
This Final Report provides an account of the proceedings at the National Summit on Police Use of Force, a two-day gathering of law enforcement leaders, managers, educators and trainers on January 23-24, 2006. The Summit was held at the Institute's headquarters at The Center for American and International Law in Plano, Texas.

Does Ethics Training Work?: A Report From the Front Lines: In early 2000, the Center for Law Enforcement Ethics set out to measure the impact of ethics training across the law enforcement community. To that end, questionnaires were sent to 1,140 graduates of the Ethics Train-the-Trainer course. In his report, Sergeant Jerry Schiager (Fort Collins, CO, Police Service) outlines the data that were collected and analyzed.

Domestic Assault Among Police:  A Survey of Internal Affairs Policies Though one of the most sensitive areas in law enforcement involves investigations of domestic assault within police families, the depth and breadth of the problem have never been extensively explored. This study attempts to gain some knowledge about the frequency and trends related to this form of police misconduct.
