Book excerpt: This report was compiled from the keynote address, individual presentations, statements by panelists, and information generated from workshop groups at a conference on minority police recruitment, selection, and retention. The overriding purpose of the conference was to contribute to the increased effectiveness of law enforcement, a primary concern of the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. In 1971, the state legislature, in Assembly Concurrent Resolution no. 158, requested that the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training provide specific programs to assist local law enforcement agencies in the recruitment of minority police candidates. The specific purpose of the conference was to provide technical information regarding compliance regulations and a viable approach to administering validated selection procedures, consistent with the intent of these regulations.
