Dr. Albrecht Blog Post: "The Police are Talking to a Problem Patron: Does That Mean They Get a 'Criminal Record?'"

We've just posted a new Dr. Albrecht blog post in our "Library Service, Safety, & Security" section of Library 2.0: "The Police are Talking to a Problem Patron: Does That Mean They Get a 'Criminal Record?'" 

Let's look at the process cops use when they talk to someone inside or around the library, who they believe may be involved in a crime (like stealing or fighting) or an illegal activity (being high on illegal drugs). Note that we are using examples of persons who may have committed a crime, not just at or using the library in a normal way.

Find the full blog post here. 

Dr. Albrecht's twice-monthly Library 2.0 podcast and blog posts are available for free, as are: access to 50,000 other library professionals, our regular mini-conferences, and all the conference recordings. We also offer a series of Dr. Albrecht paid webinars and recordings which are available for individual or group viewing here.
