Welcome Florida Library Directors - here's the police guide I recommended

I'm wishing you a weakened and turned-away-Wilma.  It was great to meet you all! 

Here's the link to the COPS Problem-oriented policing guides I recommended.  The guides are "designed to identify and remove the causes of recurring crime and disorder problems that harm communities" and offer a range of approaches, adaptable to varying situations.  See http://popcenter.org/

For example, Disorderly Youth in Public Places discusses creating alternative legitimate places for youth, modifying public places to discourage disorderly behavior, establishing and enforcing rules of conduct etc., as well as responses with limited effectiveness.
