Description

“I've been using The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual since the beginning of my career in 1979. The breadth of information in this handy little manual is astounding … like having an expert tutor in contemporary criminal justice and Jurisprudence. No police officer should be without this guide.”

—Chief Vincent T. Carlone
New Shoreham Police Department,  Block Island Rhode Island

Despite the many day-to-day difficulties that accompany police officers working in the dangerous, fast-paced, and stressful world of law enforcement, it is imperative they think quickly, respond appropriately, and perhaps most importantly, know the law.

Ensure you are complying fully with today’s legal requirements and make your case solid with the new 2010 Edition of The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual—offering quick guidance based on Supreme Court rulings and other legal developments. This 4” x 6” guide covers arrest, search, surveillance, and other routine, as well as sensitive, areas of law enforcement in an easy-to-use, tabbed format.

No matter the situation, the Pocket Manual provides the answers officers need—whether in training sessions, in daily briefings, or on the scene—with critical U.S. Supreme Court updates including:

  • Radical changes to the rules governing searches of vehicles incident to an arrest
  • New rule allowing interrogations of formally charged defendants
  • Latest guidance on questioning and frisking during vehicle stops
  • Expansion of the good-faith exception to the Fourth Amendment's exclusionary rule
