Abstract
AS THE AUTHOR POINTS OUT, THIS ACTIVITY IS WELL WITHIN THE PROVINCE OF THE POLICE CHIEF AND GIVES HIM A CHANCE TO EXHIBIT HIS EXPERTISE WITHOUT TAILING AWAY ANY OF THE STEAM FROM THE MAYOR OR COUNCILMEN. TOPICS SUCH AS THE ACCURACY OF CRIME MEASUREMENT, THE GENERAL PATTERN OF CRIME IN THE COMMUNITY, AND CHANGES IN CRIME RATES ARE COVERED.
