While much of the conversation over federal law enforcement rightly centers on the morality of their actions, I am struck by how genuinely unskilled they appear to be. This looks like amateur hour, not modern democratic law enforcement.

[Ian T. Adams @ian_t_adams]

In the language of professional policing, this should be read as a very concerned statement from @TheIACP.

Any professional observer is appalled at what we’re seeing on the streets of Minneapolis. Time to return to professional policing fundamentals.

[Jerry Ratcliffe @Jerry_Ratcliffe]

This was the world of policing scholars in academia over the last five years.

This is why it can be tough for police departments to find research partners. University criminology and criminal justice departments can be actively anti-police.

[Evan Sorg @evansorg]

My new Policing & Society article on “executive spectacle policing” is out—and, judging by today’s news about Trump threatening a federal takeover of DC police, reality is already workshopping the sequel. Couldn’t have scripted it better.

"These asinine comments not only diminish the significance of our nation’s highest award for valor, but also crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty." - VFW National Commander Al Lipphardt

As the @_ReducingCrime podcast creeps up on a quarter-of-a-million downloads, Jerry is going to post a few pages on how to use different episodes and readings to make a complete class for university lecturers. Here's one on civilian oversight of policing.

@William_Texas07 Thanks!

[Evan Sorg @evansorg]

Does anyone know of a reliable/citable source that provides the number of Master’s and Ph.D. Programs in criminology/criminal justice in the United States?

[Evan Sorg @evansorg]

@Jerry_Ratcliffe So I’ll see you there then, @Jerry_Ratcliffe?

Anyone in NJ just feel an earthquake?

[Kevin J. Bethel @PPDCommish]

Had a great time today w/ Justin Velez, my @PhillyPAL Police Commissioner for the day. This brilliant young man is going places, and at 17, he's already giving me the business like he's one of my deputies! Best of luck in college, Justin - the future of our city is bright!

[Justin Nix @jnixy]

To be clear, I never argued against use of the phrase "police killings" (left). I said sweeping use of "police violence" was misleading (right).

[Jerry Ratcliffe @Jerry_Ratcliffe]

If you want to know why Kevin Bethel is an exceptional choice for @PhillyPolice Commissioner, listen to this rare in-depth chat with him on the @_ReducingCrime podcast.

Congrats, @Jerry_Ratcliffe!

“We are excited to have Dr. Ratcliffe on the team,” stated IACP Executive Director and CEO Vincent Talucci. “The expertise and experience he brings will enhance the work of the IACP and allow us to better serve the field.” Read the full press release: https://t.co/7Tw3Vq9lPN

Appropriately strong turnout for the vigil for slain @TU_Police officer Chris Fitzgerald.

[Evan Sorg @evansorg]

Yes, please.

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

Can confirm that Michael Nutter is considering the mayoral race. He's been critical of the field for months. He rates his second term as some of the best years the city has had in recent times. And in a crowded field, he'd have a huge name recognition advantage.

[Jerry Ratcliffe @Jerry_Ratcliffe]

Kevin Bethel may well be the best police commissioner Philadelphia never had. His podcast episode is smart and inspiring: 👇🏻
