Modern law enforcement agencies fight crime on many levels, from the streets to boardrooms to cyberspace. As society and technology have become more complex and connected, so have criminal enterprises and the police organizations that oppose them. The Law Enforcement Agencies series provides detailed histories of many of the key police agencies and crime-fighting branches in the United States as well as the international police force, Interpol. Chapters cover the inception, purpose, tactics, goals, successes, key personalities, and current state of each agency. Each book also explores the full range of crime-fighting tactics in use today, from the cop on the beat to high-tech surveillance and computer forensics. Real-life case studies presented in a ""you-are-there"" style capture the excitement of these dangerous jobs, and box features spotlight fascinating details from history. Titles in this new series are essential reading for any student curious about the history of crime and crime fighting and will appeal to those interested in forensic science and police work.<\p>
