Sherman, L. W., Et. Al. - Team Policing: Seven Case Studies

This study was undertaken to examine the team policing experience on a case-by-case basis and obtain some preliminary indications of why team policing has worked well in some places and less well in others. This report aligns with a goal of the Police Foundation to provide better information about improvement programs developed in police departments around the country. This report can be used as an aid for mayors, planning directors, and police chiefs deciding whether to implement a team policing approach in their community. This report concludes that establishing team policing in a community demands complete commitment and the available resources to manage such a complex process of institutional and community change.
