"As a reserve for many years, I always wanted to know where auxiliary and special officers in
New Jersey stood in relation to each other, as well as to other reserves across the country. The
book Richard wrote answers these questions and helps reserve administrators make educated
judgements concerning what we need to do. As a NJAPOA board member, I am pleased to
have been a part of the mechanism that has made such a useful reference source available."

"Mr. Weinblatt's book reassures us that volunteer and part-time policing is the norm, embraced
by the whole country, and does not only exist in a few states. His book points out that more
people are dependent on volunteer police for services than we ever imagined."
