| Since the beginning of Command College, each participant has prepared a
final project that explored an emerging issue in law enforcement. The most recent Independent Study Projects (ISPs) Catalog is available electronically via this website.
Use the POST Library Command College Projects database to find abstracts (and some links to full text) of more than 600 ISPs prepared by Command College participants. For this it is helpful to have the title of the article or the author’s name, although you can also do subject searching.
The final step in a participant’s journey through the Command College is to author a scholarly
article from the completed futures research on a chosen topic, then submit that article to a
magazine or periodical in general circulation. Please see Article Objectives & Guidelines.
To access past Command College projects and/or articles, please use the POST Library Catalog.
