The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) authored the Law Enforcement Resource Guide.  The guide focuses on the needs of small town and rural agencies, and has attempted to list only resources that would be useful to these agencies. The authors asked the following questions to determine whether an entry should be included:

Is the resource free or offered at a minimal cost?

Is the resource available to small and rural agencies?

To reduce the financial impact to the agency, is there a toll free telephone number to access the resource

Are constraints, limitations, or guidelines for use or acquisition of the resource clear and easy to comply with?
