Abstract
I am truly very grateful to the Academy, the Awards Committee, and those that nominated me for the Bruce Smith Senior Award. I recently learned that Mr. Smith was a leading national expert on policing from the 1930s to the 1950s. He dedicated his career to solving the problems of political patronage, payoffs, brutality and inefficiency in policing. He bridged the gap between academia and practice. I have tried to do the same but not with the same success as Mr. Smith. I am, however, firmly committed to bridging the gap between research and practice to improve performance.
