National Institute of Justice Releases "Policing Research: If You Can't Find It, Do It."

In this new NIJ video, Ken Clary, a captain with the Iowa State Patrol and an NIJ Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science scholar, discusses the need to implement evidence-based practices for effective policing. Capt. Clary suggests that law enforcement agencies and officers should start by reviewing the existing body of knowledge. If they cannot find any applicable research, Clary suggests that they consider doing the research themselves.
