January 2013
The January issue of Police Chief Magazine focuses on 21st century policing and associated challenges, in addition to recognizing recipients of the 2012 IACP Awards given in San Diego, California.
Police Chief magazine enters the new year with a new year with a new monthly feature: a product driven article in each month throughout 2013. We start in January with a look at mobile command centers, which can be vital equipment during man-made or natural disasters. They enable quick response and uninterrupted communications, and also have an important role in effective community outreach. For more, see page 22.
