“The Cooper Model is the solution right now. It has the versatility of being top down or bottom up. It is not the standard adaptation of police management models. It is its own powerful management model. It should be standard orientation. This model develops how to look at management of your organization with budgeting and staffing in line with the current environment. Cooper is consistent and achieves more with the resources he already has. He will show you how to better target your resources, and dramatically reduce crime and cost, without any increase in staff.”

Chief Cooper’s broad range of experience and knowledge, from his executive position in policing to the private sector, is shared with practitioners and policy makers alike in his book.

I encourage my colleagues to spend time reviewing this important work and utilizing it as they challenge their own agencies and make continuous improvement in policing.
