Summary:

Since the enactment of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, discussion among federal, state, and local legislators regarding law enforcement issues has increased substantially. Debate on the issues is stimulated by the many changes that have occurred in federal funding programs for law enforcement and in the number of personnel nationwide, as well as in community policing, police surveillance and technology, officer benefits, and police conduct, among other law enforcement topics.
