Acknowledgments

Many people helped make this book a reality, and I am very appreciative for each of them. The influence of Gary Cordner (Emeritus Professor, Kutztown University) can be traced back to the very beginnings of this book and his assistance is well reflected in this edition as well. Thanks Gary. I also acknowledge Jerry Westby, former publisher at SAGE, whose good decisions and persuasive talk led to the creation of the first edition of this book. The success of this book is due in large part to the dedication of the entire SAGE team. Jessica Miller and Adeline Grout are an author’s dream come true and were always a pleasure to work with. I also would like to acknowledge the hard work of Sarah Downing and Karin Rathert. These individuals also helped make this an outstanding text.

Many law enforcement professionals assisted me either directly or indirectly with this book. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Chief of Police Edward Flynn (retired) and Inspector Jutiki Jackson of the Milwaukee Police Department; Chief of Police Kenneth Meuler of the West Bend (Wisconsin) Police Department; Chief of Police Peter Hoell of the Germantown (Wisconsin) Police Department; and Chief of Police Peter Nimmer of the Shorewood (Wisconsin) Police Department. Also so important in shaping my world-view of the police and this book are the multitude of police officers that I have worked with and studied over the years. You expanded my reality by letting me be part of yours. Thank you.

I’d like to acknowledge the support and assistance of several colleagues on this and related projects: Professor Meghan Stroshine of Marquette University, Professor Robert Worden at the University at Albany, Professor James Frank at the University of Cincinnati, and Professor Matt Richie of the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh. Good friends, excellent colleagues, and outstanding scholars.

I would also like to thank University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee graduate students Amber Krushas and Kevin Schlichter who assisted greatly with the second edition of Police in America. Thank you to Nadine Rodriguez for preparing the excellent online resources for the second edition.

Many reviewers of earlier drafts of the book also deserve acknowledgment for improving the final product.
