Special Agent-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation; Dr. Michael J. Adams, President of Fairleigh Dickinson University, Dr. Nicholas J. Baldwin, Dean of Wroxton College (U.K.), as well as Dr. Richard Bronson; Dr. Dario Cortes, Dr. Joe Kiernan, Dr. James Kenny, Dr. Paula Mayhew, and Dr. John Snyder. I also want to acknowledge some of my dear students from whom I have, and continue, to learn.
In a special way, I am indebted to Dr. Mike Rowe, of Leicester University, who provided me with the necessary guidance, insight, and encouragement throughout my research, and Dr. Richard Celeste, Director of the Somerset County Police Academy, whose vision for professional police training is reflected throughout this book.
I also want to acknowledge the precision and patience of Cambria Press’ dedicated staff who guided me through what would have otherwise been an arduous process—their professionalism made publishing this book a truly enjoyable and rewarding learning experience.
Last, but not least, are the dedicated faculty, staff, and the hundreds of recruits with whom I had the privilege of spending two years. It is my hope that the findings of this study may contribute in some small way to improving basic police training and the careers of those who dedicate their lives in the service of others.
