Excerpt: Colorado Mounted Rangers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Rangers trace their roots to the Jefferson Rangers, organized in 1859 to keep the peace in the unofficial Jefferson Territory during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, often guarding shipments of gold coming out of the camps. In 1861, the Colorado Territory was established, and the Rangers were reorganized as the Colorado Rangers. Rangers would serve as Colorado's only statewide law enforcement through the 1920's. The Colorado Rangers were fashioned after the well known Texas Rangers and often served both law enforcement and militia roles in the early days of the Colorado Territory. Rangers, along with other Colorado volunteers were instrumental in the Battle of Glorieta Pass. This battle was key in stopping the Confederate advance towards the Colorado gold fields. This battle is now known as the "Gettysburg of the West" During this time, Rangers were still upholding the law in Colorado as well. In 1862, Captain A.J. GIll, Commander of the Colorado Rangers, detailed his investigation of the murder of Conrad Moschel near present day Franktown in a letter to his superiors. In it he states that the culprits tried to make it appear that Native Americans were responsible, but Capt. Gill concluded from the evidence that local outlaws were to blame. After the Civil War, the Colorado Rangers returned in earnest to their law enforcement duties. From time to time the Rangers were also called upon by Colorado's Governors to keep the peace during times of civil unrest, natural disasters, and during a dispute in Cripple Creek during the violent Labor Wars in Colorado's mining towns. In their duty to protect the Governor, Rangers were occasionally known as the "Governor's Guard". ( In March of 1999, ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24938430 ... Read more

Chapters: Law Enforcement Agency. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 52. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: In North American English, a law enforcement agency (LEA) is an organization responsible for law enforcement . Outside North America, such organisations are called police services. In North America, some of these services are called police while others have other names (e.g. sheriff's department; investigative police services in the USA are often called bureaus (e.g. FBI, USMS, ICE, CBP, ATF, DEA, USSS etc.)). A police officer and a police car are traditional identifiers of a locally based law enforcement agency. LEAs which have their ability to apply their powers restricted in some way are said to operate within a jurisdiction. Non executive powers jurisdictional coverage of EuropolLEAs will have some form of geographic restriction on their ability to apply their powers. The LEA might be able to apply its powers within a country, for example the United States of America's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, within a division of a country, for example the Australian state Queensland Police, or across a collection of countries, for example international organizations such as Interpol, or the European Union's Europol. LEAs which operate across a collection of countries tend to assist in law enforcement activities, rather than directly enforcing laws, by facilitating the sharing of information necessary for law enforcement between LEAs within those countries, for example Europol has no executive powers. Sometimes a LEAs jurisdiction is determined by the complexity or seriousness of the non compliance with a law. Some countries determine the jurisdiction in these circumstances by means of policy and resource allocation between agencies, for example in Australia, the...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2092378 ...

Good background and overview
A good background and overview for those not familiar with just what the FBI and other law enforcement agencies do.

Clearly written and very useful information to familiarize yourself with the FBI and it's function in government.Not sure what the other reviewer expected frrom this book, but it delivers exactly what it promises.

A fourth-grade reader with no pertinent information.
Kronenwetter has authored a beginner book appropriately written in LARGE print for younger readers.The book pertains mostly to the FBI and gives a nod to the Secret Service.Information relevant to these two agencies is limited, outdated, and of little or no use to someone looking for in-depth and insightful information on these well-known and well-respected agencies.IRS CID, DEA, ATF, and the Coast Guard are mentioned but no relevant information is offered to the reader so that they might better understand the enforcement mission, jurisdiciton, agent background, training, or history of these agencies.The reader is better off spending money on long distance calls directly to Federal Law Enforcement agencies and requesting a tri-fold brochure for more voluminous information. ...

Alternatively, jurisdiction is the authority given to a legal body or to a political leader to adjudicate and enforce legal matters. The term is also used to denote the geographical area or subject-matter to which such authority applies. Jurisdiction draws its substance from public international law, conflict of laws, constitutional law and the powers of the executive and legislative branches of government to allocate resources to best serve the needs of its native society. ...

A poor cheap knock off of the real thing
Having taken several of these courses online, I have to say that this CD-ROM knock off by a third party is a poor substitute for the original. It lacks the interactivity, the videos, and the audios that are part of these courses. It's also incredibly boring to just read a PDF of a course rather than take them online, which is of course why these are online courses and not manuals. Don't waste your money, especially on courses that are already offered online for free. ... Read more
