Overview
KEY BENEFIT Presenting a clear, detailed picture of what constitutes professional law enforcement, this book enables readers to work within or outside of law enforcement to raise standards of practice. While other books in the field are based on the premise: 'Here is what law enforcement does,' this one operates on the premise: 'What law enforcement does is less important than how it does it.' KEY TOPICS The author's twenty-five years of experience in law enforcement and psychology bring a balanced approach to topics—such as ethics, selection of officers, understanding the individual officer, leadership, interviewing witnesses and suspects, community policing, responding to critical incidents, and dealing with the psychologically disturbed—and is reflected in many of the examples used to clarify theoretical points. MARKET For individuals interested in or considering a career in law enforcement; law enforcement recruits; academy instructors; field training officers; and other officers, supervisors, and administrators.Synopsis
