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 Leaving Vegas: The True Story of How the FBI Wiretaps Ended Mob Domination of Las Vegas Casinos, "Blackmail. Bombs. Hit teams and executions. Skimming of casino profits. Illegal sports gaming. These tactics were business as usual for members of the mafia in the United States in the 1970s. But a team of F.B.I. agents and Kansas City Police Department detectives decided, in those corrupt days, to take advantage of new court-ordered wiretap privileges to curtail some of the graft in that city. The result of those efforts was the end of the mob's domination of Las Vegas casino operations, the imprisonment of key players and the decimation of the mafia's influence in Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee and Las Vegas. An ex-cop from Kansas City was part of the team that tackled the mafia corruption. He compiled this account of the surveillance efforts by including verbatim wiretap transcripts that tell the story of those days in the words of the mob's key operatives themselves. Leaving Vegas takes you behind the scenes, detailing the drama from the point of view of the surveillance teams listening in on the conversations, as well as providing the flavor of the relationships between the mobsters. Prison sentences and an end to the bulk of the mob violence in Kansas City wrote a happy ending to this story. Jenkins provides plenty of context to this milestone investigation, as well as photos of the key players and surveillance locations."
