Anthony Davila is the author of Suicide Terrorism: It's only a matter of when and how well prepared are America's Law Enforcement Officers and Does your Local Police Department Represent the Community it Serves.
 

According to the book description of Does your Local Police Department Represent the Community it Serves, "service to the community means involvement, commitment, and engagement with the entire community, and that includes all of the parts, including police, fire schools, merchants, etc. Providing some law enforcement education to citizens about the total service mission of police work should be a goal for every police agency. Ensuring good service to the community means careful recruitment and personnel selection, for officers who will develop a prime focus on service first-service always. Training those carefully selected personnel on current case decisions, tactics, equipment, effective involvement in community affairs is service first and service always, and engaging all members of the community in serving each other is great service for the community. Having officers use their interpersonal skills in developing and maintaining good relationships with all is a service that a community will not forget."

According to the book description of Suicide Terrorism: It's only a matter of when and how well prepared are America's Law Enforcement officers, "Since September 11th, Americas decision makers have examined issues related to training as it pertains to emergency responders to a suicide bombing incident, relationships between communities with police, and homeland security initiatives with local law enforcement departments.

Current training practices and training focuses on the influence that emergency responder organizational structures and administrative factors have on terrorism response preparedness among local agencies, but few studies have systematically measured these impacts or share information on lessons learned.

A review of the research indicates that training could be enhanced if future training promotes a better understanding of case studies of similar suicide bombing incidents and structural characteristics of local active terrorist groups by examining all ideologically motivated crimes, regardless of whether they are also defined as a terrorist.

The conclusion discusses how training could be enhanced by strategically integrating the existing knowledge base across all levels within emergency responders, as well as detailed knowledge of the nature and extent of the threat posed by suicide bombing extremists."
