Many Americans view cops as racist, brutal, and trigger-happy. For their part, officers feel they are under siege—misunderstood, unfairly criticized, and scapegoated for society’s ills. Is there a fix? Author and Former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper believes there is. In his new book To Protect and Serve, Stamper delivers a revolutionary new model for American law enforcement, calling for fundamental changes to the federal government’s role in local policing as well as citizen participation in all aspects of police operations. Stamper asserts that nothing will ever change until the system is radically restructured and he will share his plan for how it can be done.
