TOPICS INCLUDED THE PERCEPTIONS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND RACE RELATIONS HELD BY MEMBERS AND VISIBLE MINORITY COMMUNITIES AND BY THE POLICE THEMSELVES. PERCEPTIONS HELD BY BLACKS, ASIANS, ORIENTALS, AND NATIVE INDIANS CONCERNING POLICE ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES WERE OF DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT, LACK OF PROTECTION, AND UNJUST TREATMENT BY THE COURTS. PROGRAMS RUN BY THE POLICE, SUCH AS COMMUNITY RELATIONS, ETHNIC RELATIONS, AND INFORMAL CONTACTS AND MEETINGS, ARE DELINEATED. THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN RACE RELATIONS IS DISCUSSED. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE MEDIA PERPETUATES NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES, SEEKS TO DENY THE EXISTENCE OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN OUR SOCIETY, AND DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY EXERCISE ITS ADVOCACY ROLE IN PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF MINORITIES. AN OVERVIEW OF TEAM POLICING IS PRESENTED, EMPHASIZING A PARTICIPATING MANAGEMENT STYLE, RATHER THAN THE HIERARCHIAL MILITARY ONE. A FINAL PAPER PROPOSES RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN POLICE AUTHORITIES, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, POLITICIANS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR, SUCH AS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARDS; INTERNAL REVIEW OF RECRUITMENT, HIRING, AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES; EXPANDED IN-DEPTH TRAINING IN RACE RELATIONS ON A MANDATORY BASIS FOR ALL LEVELS IN THE METRO FORCE; AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEES AT EACH DISTRICT LEVEL. A REPRINT OF A PAPER ENTITLED 'HATE AND ITS CONTROL: THE PROBLEM AND THE LAW,' THE SEMINAR PROGRAM, AND REPRODUCTIONS OF NEWSPAPER COVERAGE ARE APPENDED.
