Police departments do much more than simply hand out tickets. A police department is responsible for public safety as well as educating the public and providing community services.
Police Officers also spend many, many hours in training throughout their careers and become very familiar with the crimes that are committed in their jurisdictions.
The WAND Police Department Taxonomy addresses these topics and many more. Included in this taxonomy of 1,510 terms and 1,256 synonyms are terms for the various types of Programs and Services, Department Accountability, Tactics, Personnel, Investigations, Policies and Procedures.
You'll also find individual terms for various types of police equipment including Nonlethal Weapons, Lethal Weapons, Personal Armor, Ammunition, Handcuffs and Restraints as well as types of vehicles and uniforms.
Terms relating to Incarceration, Evidence Collection, and Retention Policies are also found in this taxonomy.
The WAND Police Department Taxonomy can be customized to including terms specific to meet the needs of any department.
As with all WAND Taxonomies, the WAND Police Department Taxonomy is available by itself or as part of the WAND Taxonomy Library Portal.
