Millions of dollars spent each year on restructuring and reshaping American Police Services.  One of the most contemporary shifts in American policing is toward a community police �partnership.�  Professor Palenski�s work provides valuable insight and discussion about the opinions and perceptions of officers involved in the proposed community efforts.  How police address public concerns and issues and how police feel about their new roles is the subject of Palenski�s work.  In Community Police: Product or Process, Palenski engaged officers over a three-year period in their typical settings.  Gathering officer insights about work changes allows for a strong and practical discussion about the community police work as it continues to emerge today.
