In Chapel Hill, police work on a local level, even though the fund ing, recruiting and training is done at a national level.

The national center of law enforcement creates a lack of accountability and window for corruption that is not present in Chapel Hill, Jarvies said. But at the local level of law enforcement, both police forces interact and work with residents. Jarvies said he learned a general rule for law enforcement “the more local, the more effective.” Q: What did you learn from the trip? A: Jarvies said his trip reinforced his belief that good law enforcement is a “police and public partnership” and that answers are not always in the statute books. Q: Do you have any more plans for other overseas trips? A: Jarvies said he hopes to go back to implement some projects he has thought of to increase police effi ciency and quality in South Africa.

(AP) - Authorities decided Wednesday not to pursue hate crime charges in the kidnapping and weeklong torture of a black woman, instead going after the suspects, who are white, on state charges that carry stiffer penalties. While federal civil rights or state hate-crime charges remain an option, a state kidnapping count that carries a sentence of up to life in prison will provide the best chance for successful prosecution, officials said. “Asa practical matter, sen tenced to life, what else can be Putin selects new prime minister MOSCOW (AP) President Vladimir Putin chose a little known government official to become Russia’s new prime minister Wednesday, a surprise move that set off fevered specu lation over whether loyal tech nocrat Viktor Zubkov was being groomed to replace Putin next spring.
