By the mid-1800's reduced wildlife populations, declining natural resources, and vanishing wilderness settings had become problems of such magnitude that a significant number of sensitive citizens began to call for conservation. The environmental movement as we know it today had its roots in the efforts of men such as John Wesley Powell, George Perkins Marsh, Gifford Pinchot and John Muir to foster a sense of stewardship toward the natural environment. Mounting scientific evidence during the 1960's of human health effects and ecological damage resulting from anthopogenic pollutants gave rise to a spate of environmental legislation designed to protect human health and welfare, as well as enhance environmental quality. One of the most important pieces of environmental legislation, to date, is the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. It not only established a national policy of commitment to maintaining environmental quality and promoting harmony between man and nature, but also set up the Council on Environmental Quality and instituted requirements for Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for major federal actions significantly affecting the environment. (A va of techniques are currently available for determining the impact of proposed action on the environment; however, a common shortcoming of these methodologies is their inability to adequately predict and assess changes in the socioeconomic environment As increasing emphasis is placed by planners and decision-makers on the human factors associated with a proposed project, better methods for establishing the critical socioeconomic indicators and measuring attribute changes will become imperative. ^At the present time, there is no standard, reliable methodology for analyzing the socioeconomic implications of contemplated programs.Item Internal Communication Overcoming Barriers within Modern Policing Agencies(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2003) Bowers, DwightItem Plain Language v. Coded Communication(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2017) Upton, JerryLaw enforcement agencies should utilize the concept of plain language as opposed to the use of coded communication as it pertains to radio traffic. Coded communication has become an outdated and unnecessary form of communication as well as a safety factor when communicating with outside agencies from neighboring departments. The need for assistance from outside agencies has increased as the economy has decreased making the need for a standardized means of communication more crucial. The implementation of plain language could serve as a tool to increase productivity, shorten field training programs and eliminate stressors for newly hired officers as well as communication officers. In this world of ever-advancing technology, what was once meant to be unknown is now known through police scanners, cell phone apps and the internet, proving even more that coded communication is no longer beneficial.Item Police Communications Systems: Applications and Trends(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 1993) Weaver, William C.
