The Transportation Library staff is here to serve the information needs of the Northwestern University community with individual research appointments and user education for classes. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
The Transportation Library of Northwestern University has supported the curriculum of the Center for Public Safety (originally the Traffic Institute), since 1958. Since that time, we have collected materials in the fields of law enforcement supervision and police management. We have also indexed law enforcement literature in the Transportation Library's periodical index, NUTranLit. This research guide is another effort to support study and research on the topics of law enforcement management and supervision.
