Research is increasingly becoming an important and expected activity within public safety agencies. In this discussion, you will conduct research to find specific examples of how research was used to show an area of improvement or that led to an improvement in practice. While searching for your examples, be certain to focus on at least 2 different institutional scenarios within the public safety system.
