DATABASES "Law Enforcement Training Factors in the Spanish-Speaking Community" Many officers graduate from training academies with limited preparation to deal with concerns relating to Spanish-speaking communities. Trainees must understand the importance of dealing with citizens on an individual basis, rather than as a generic population, and how assimilation into the U.S. culture varies according to immigrant generations. Subsequently, those who train recruits should examine some basic elements of cultural differences that can assume great importance in the everyday life of those who enforce the law. This document is located in the Core Database under document #602174. "Policing by the Odds" New tools are helping police departments prevent crime by predicting where it will occur. In all, five years' worth of historical crime data sits in the Richmond Police Department's predictive analytics system, where it mixes with real-time data on crime as it happens. By analyzing patterns, commanders believe they can predict where crime will happen, and mobilize patrol officers to anticipated hotspots. More information on this can be located in the Core Database under document #601919. NETWORKING Mobile Device/Smartphone Survey What kind of smartphone do you use most frequently? Or do you not use a mobile device at all? Please share your answer in the informal survey now in IACP Net's Survey section. CURRENT AFFAIRS Grant - ATV Programs The Yamaha OHV Access Initiative is a proactive, grassroots program supported by Yamaha dealers and customers nationwide promoting safe, responsible riding and sustainable, open riding areas. Each quarter, Yamaha will accept applications from organizations such as non-profit or tax exempt OHV riding clubs, national forests and associations and national, state, local government agencies and associations.
