INITIALLY, TWO TARGET AREAS WERE SELECTED FOR OD PROJECTS: THE PROCESSES OF MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION WITHIN THE DIVISION AND THE PROCESS OF SELECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW POLICE OFFICERS. REASONS FOR SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM ARE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT, AND COOPERATION BETWEEN POLICE PERSONNEL AND PROFESSIONAL OD SPECIALISTS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)...TWH
