Resources

The Resources section gathers practical tools that help students, educators, and the general public understand modern policing.

You will find reference articles that explain key concepts, downloadable teaching materials, guides for classroom use, and links to reliable external sources on criminal justice and public safety. These resources cover a wide range of topics, including search and seizure, equipment explanations, patrol operations, use of force standards, investigations, crisis response, and community safety.

Educators will also find a dedicated repository of lesson plans, slide decks, assignments, and syllabi contributed by instructors with real field or teaching experience. These materials are free to use and adapt for classroom instruction at the high school, college, or academy level.
