Topics include bicycle safety, behavior toward strangers, bomb detection, riot control, drug abuse, criminal investigations, FBI jurisdiction, and national security. A list of Federal and State law enforcement agencies is included. A description of information services and programs offered by the Carroll County Bar Association and a directory of Carroll County attorneys are presented.
