Description
Police Field Operations is
designed to introduce students to the basic concepts
of contemporary police field operations. Written to
give students real life insights into the daily
activities of police officers, the text begins with
how officers prepare for their daily shifts. Then
following the logical progression of activities,
chapters discuss police communications, responding to
calls for service, observation patrol, and traffic
enforcement. The text also introduces the concepts of
the use of force and the various force options
available to officers. Students will also read about
responding to crimes in progress and unusual
occurrences. The second half of the book includes
chapters on interviewing & interrogation, report
writing, and courtroom testimony. The basic concepts
of community policing provide students with what
contemporary police officers in the field are required
to do on an everyday basis. The final chapters include
professionalism, ethics, and career steps.
