ANALYSIS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S INTERNATIONAL FUNCTIONS, THE POLICE ROLE IN DIPLOMACY, THE POLICE FUNCTION AS IT AFFECTS INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, AND THE INTERACTION WITH OTHER AGENCIES IN THIS FIELD.

Abstract

THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES DOMESTIC SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHANGES WHICH HAVE FORCED EXPANSION OF THE POLICE ROLE, AND INTERNATIONAL CHANGES AND EVENTS WHICH HAVE BROUGHT THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE INTO CLOSER CONTACT WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE INFLUENCE OF THIS INCREASED CONTACT IS FELT NOT ONLY IN RELATIONS WITH INDIVIDUAL REPRESENTATIVES OF FOREIGN TRADE AND DIPLOMACY, BUT IN POLICE DEALINGS WITH ETHNIC COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE CITY, THE OUTCOMES OF WHICH MAY HAVE INTERNATIONAL REPERCUSSIONS. THE MAJOR POINT IS MADE THAT LARGE URBAN POLICE FORCES (SPECIFICALLY THOSE IN NEW YORK CITY AND WASHINGTON, D.C.) DO HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL FUNCTION WHICH CONSTITUTES A SPECIAL FIELD OF POLICE WORK AND WHICH MUST BE ACCOMODATED THROUGH UPDATED ADMINISTRATION, TRAINING, AND RESEARCH. SPECIFIC AND LENGTHY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS ARE INCLUDED. THE APPENDIXES CONTAIN SAMPLE DEPARTMENT DIRECTIVES AND OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL POPULATION.
