Today I am honored to join a far more accomplished group of policing practitioners inducted into the Evidence-Based Policing Hall of Fame. Read my personal statement here: https://t.co/R6PFBHM7vk #CEBCP2022
If the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, the future successes of American policing will be traced back to the halls of the NIJ.
“Praising Mr. Bouza’s ‘evidence-based policing,’ Professor Sherman added, ‘Bouza was the first to articulate the importance of medical-style clinical trials of police practices with individual offenders and specific street locations.’” -@samrob12 https://t.co/3J1p88XJRp #NYPD
“At the end of the day, all you have is your integrity, which means doing the right thing every day in the facilities even if no one is around to praise you.”

“If someone is going to give their best years of their life to their community, we at least should let them ride off into the sunset healthy, both physically and psychologically, healthy enough to survive their retirement.” -Steve James #SleepHealth
EPISODE ALERT: #58 with Prof. Steve James on fatigue, policing and shift work, working with @OscarKiloUK, and managing sleep properly.
Not wanting to be too hyperbolic (!), but if you do shiftwork as a cop, this episode may save your life.

@ziman_kristen Changing our Code of Ethics is good place to start. This document, often used in oath of office ceremonies, has not been changed since it was adopted by the @TheIACP in 1957.
Prosecutors and the FBI transformed a smalltown Ohio cop into the nationally sought-after oracle of “911 call analysis.” I wrote about why they bought into this junk science, how it’s spread across the justice system and those living with the consequences https://t.co/OXo3gY2RkI
Wonderful piece on policing disorder in the subways by @BrandondelPozo in the new issue of @VitalCityNYC. The piece blends theory, empirics and personal experience. In my view, the piece captures what what many people actually want from the police. https://t.co/Kkzxilrhf9
@jnixy As Kelling said, “Perhaps, to put it bluntly, we need fewer prisons and far more cops- not cops who will feed the system, but will starve it by helping communities protect themselves.”
