Along with folks in the U.S., this site was visited by police and citizens from Canada, U.K., Thailand, Philippines, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, India, New Zealand, Guam, Serbia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Singapore, Turkey, and Mauritius! Great to have you aboard!

Midwest residents, be sure to register for this fall’s 2nd annual police-community leader conference on 21st century policing at UW-Platteville on Sept 16th. CLICK HERE for more info. Only by working together will we be able to get to where we need to go!

I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader calling for police improvement (for example, How To Rate Your Local Police, and with my wife, Sabine, Quality Policing: The Madison Experience). After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. At the present time, I serve a small church in North Lake (WI), east of Madison. Sabine and I have nine adult children, eleven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is also a retired police officer and we both continue active lives. View all posts by davidccouper
