Hello, Mr. Land:
You should seriously consider writing a book on this topic. You have a good head start on the entire situation, and can always "pad" as needed with slave, slave code, slave rules (an interesting topic), beat patrols, etc., etc.
It sounds like it's a subject that means a lot to you. If you ever do decide to write something on it, holler at me and I'll share some stuff that I was saving for my own opus (which will probably never see the light of day, much less printer's ink.)
Regards,
Hoyt
