New FAST Search We’ve completely overhauled the FAST Search, making it even faster and easier to use. The FAST Search is a list of over 80 commonly run searches performed by IACP Net users. Our information experts reviewed the list and used their expertise to create search strategies for each topic or subtopic. The new FAST Search can be found under the Search heading on the golden tool bar.

DATABASES "Gamers, Millennials, and Generation Next: Implications for Policing" As baby boomers reach retirement, how will young adults entering the workplace affect the norms and values of the industries to which they devote their efforts? Can the profession recruit and retain peace officers who will be devoted to policing, or does the future hold only cops who view their duties as an extension of the simulated environment of video games, looking for the next best thing? In fact, the transition to the next generation has already begun, and astute police executives are starting to realize there may be ways to bridge the generation gap for the public good. The full text of this document can be located in the Core Database under document #593759. "Police Lineups: Making Eyewitness Identification More Reliable" Misidentification cases have caused criminal justice professionals to take a closer look at eyewitness evidence, specifically at the effectiveness of identifying suspects from photographic and live lineups. And recent studies on lineup structure and implementation have led to even more questions and disagreement in the field, highlighting the need for more research and dialogue about what works. The full text of this document can be located in the Core Database under document #593509.
