I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College. Over the years, I have written many articles and led many seminars calling for police improvement. I wrote How To Rate Your Local Police, Quality Policing: The Madison Experience, and The New Quality Leadership Work Book for Police with my wife Sabine. My latest books are the second edition of Arrested Development: A Veteran Police Chief Sounds Off About Protest, Racism, Corruption and the Seven Steps Necessary to Improve Our Nation’s Police (2017) and Telling It Like It Is: Couper on Cops (2017).
