HAZEN ARKANSAS<br />
The Importance of Small-Town Police<br />
Departments in America<br />
BY DR. TINA JAECKLE, SENIOR EDITOR<br />
There is often attention and interest given to larger police departments<br />
across the nation. We are fascinated with their resources and how these are<br />
utilized, and they are also frequently mentioned in the media. However, the<br />
reality is that small departments comprise most of the agencies in the United<br />
States. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, there are more than<br />
18,000 police departments in our country. The majority are small town police<br />
departments that employ ten or fewer officers. These departments are subject<br />
to different state, county, city laws and codes, with varying policies, practices,<br />
and officer training programs. While excellent policing occurs at all levels, we<br />
would like to highlight one of our small-town law enforcement heroes in our<br />
cover story this month.<br />
