Pollaw?

A few days ago on Wiki's main page, was a item about a private company that publishes training books for some 3000, mostly small, police departments. What is the name of this publishing firm; something like "PolLaw"?

The company was founded by two former police officers. ----MountVic127 (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Funding award 2020

Hi, just learned of the NDI’s existence through a news article and it looks as though this page could use an update. I’m still way too wikinexperienced to try and jump into editing the entry here but I figured a couple of links could be helpful for anyone who does know what they’re doing. So firstly there’s the story from CNN which set me off.

That story itself contains a link to a governmental page confirming the funding which is from mid-2020.

My fascination here was because the CNN story listed five states which don’t decertify and therefore submit nothing to the NDI, having first stated that forty-four states do make submissions. But that makes 49 states, right? And NC making submissions from a pair of agencies (see CNN article) doesn’t mean it’s 2 states, does it? So I was attempting to work out whether CNN had missed one out, or if I’m overlooking something obvious.

This entry in Wikipedia just confused me even more because it lists an extra 3 states (Massachusetts, NY and Georgia) which don’t add to the database, though this is said to be the scenario as at 2018.

Maybe in the time it’s taken me to type this, this oddity has been resolved (if so, sorry for going on about it).
