Our police advisors often get hung up on the lack of technological capabilities or just do not know how it was done before. ( Before formflow, pure edge, Computers in patrol cars, computers in their pockets) Not knowing how we did it before we say "these guys are backwards because they keep there records in binders and not on some god-awful database." I was taught that the officer's most powerful tool is his observations and his notebook but I do not know the "fieldcraft" that you mentioned or the most effective/ commonly used gap stoppers. I now feel like my dad should tell me, "Well go look it up." And I will eventually.... Just thought you guys might have some leads and I think it is an interesting and relevant discussion.
One thing I would do would be to contact the FBI National Academy and request a list of all Foreign police officers that have attended their Academy. If you can find any current or former Police Officers in the your country of interest this would be a big help in assessing the situation and give you a place to start building relationships. I don't know what the protocol is to request such information now a days, but you have their number give them a call and see what happens.
