Abstract
LISTINGS WERE VERIFIED THROUGH DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUALS OR AGENCIES INVOLVED VIA THE MAILS, TELEPHONE CALLS, OR PERSONAL VISITS. IN THE MUNICIPAL SECTION, SEVERAL NEW LISTINGS HAVE BEEN ADDED, AND A FEW SMALL JURISDICTIONS HAVE BEEN DELETED. IN CERTAIN STATES, SOME SIZABLE INCORPORATED CITIES AND TOWNS DO NOT MAINTAIN THEIR OWN POLICE DEPARTMENTS, BUT HIRE POLICE SERVICES THROUGH CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, A COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT, OR A NEARBY CITY. IN THE LISTING OF SUCH COMMUNITIES, THE NAME OF THE AGENCY PROVIDING THE POLICE SERVICES IS INDICATED. IF AN INCORPORATED COMMUNITY WITH A POPULATION OF 5,000 OR MORE IS NOT LISTED, THE OMISSION IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CITY OR TOWN HAS NO POLICE DEPARTMENT OR HAS FAILED TO REPLY TO A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. THE NAME AND ADDRESSES OF THE COUNTY SHERIFFS AND PROSECUTORS FOR EACH COUNTY IN ALL 50 STATES ARE PROVIDED. THE MUNICIPAL CHIEFS OF POLICE FOR SELECTED CITIES AND TOWNS IN ALL 50 STATES ARE NOTED. U.S. ATTORNEYS ARE INDICATED, AND THE DIRECTORS OF SUCH FEDERAL AGENCIES AS THE CUSTOMS SERVICE AND THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY ARE IDENTIFIED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED--KBL)
