Spring Hill Kansas Police Department

Yesterday I attended Advanced Policing Strategies training instructed by Dr. Tamara Herold at JCCC and hosted by Overland Park Police Department. Dr. Herold is a Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Texas State University. She has also served at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. She is considered one of the leading experts in problem oriented policing and crowd psychology research. The training was exceptional and a rare opportunity to talk with such an expert in crime research. Dr. Herold discussed new ways to view how we use are data more effectively to problem solve crime and handle small and large crowd events in the community. I definitely took away key points that will help Spring Hill as we grow!
