The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual is useful as a classroom training reference for officers, as well as an on-the-scene immediate reference. The handy Manual helps officers make quick decisions and take enforceable action in everyday situations, based on current guidance from the Supreme Court. Defensible police practices are presented with more than 100 practical examples drawn from leading cases. Basic rules of procedure are highlighted in red for quick reference and examples showing how the rules are applied are provided throughout.
The 2014 Edition is designed to provide the immediate answers law officers need, including the latest U.S. Supreme Court decisions on:
* radical changes to the rules governing searches of vehicles incident to an arrest
* the new rule allowing interrogations of formally charged defendants
* the latest guidance on questioning and frisking during vehicle stops
* expansion of the good-faith exception to the Fourth Amendments exclusionary rule for unconstitutional searches and seizures
Since it was first published in 1972, hundreds of police departments, sheriffs’ offices, and security patrols nationwide have used The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual on the beat, in daily briefings, and in training, because it is written in plain English and updated annually by the experienced editors of BNA’s Criminal Law Reporter.
Latest reviews of BNA Law Officer's Pocket Manual app for iPhone and iPad
A lot cheaper than buying the book. Has lots of useful information in an easy to navigate format.
The letters are to small and does not have an option to make them bigger. I would love to be able to highlight phrases and make notes. The contents is great and useful.
Good information thats worth the money. Also the portability of an app versus a book is nice and beats paying $27.99 for the book.
Not as clean to navigate as I think it could be. Should link the court cases, especially the ones about search and seizure, to the topic they are explaining rather than just saying the courts have aloud and such. Also, they should at least hyperlink the court cases in the appendix so we can quickly view them.
There is a lot of good information here, but Id like to see sources to gather more information on topics that I want to learn more about. It would be nice to have the source at the bottom of each page. For instance, when talking about road blocks and what can/cant be done, Id love to know the case law so I can research it further.
