Download or read book The Truth About Cops A Retired Police Officer s Answers to All Your Burning Questions written by Tim Dees and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR I have a head full of information, not all of which is useful. It bothers me that the lyrics for Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy are taking up room that could be occupied by something more life-relevant. Still, I've often found myself the person people come to when they want to know something, but aren't sure where to find it, and I enjoy providing that service. Quora is a great outlet for people like me. I stumbled on the site a little more than a year ago, and almost 600 answered questions later, there's enough material for a book. Law enforcement is a passion for me, not for the power trip or the adrenaline rush, but because it can be a truly noble vocation when done right. People depend on law enforcement officers to protect them from predators, see that the bad guys are held to account for their acts, and establish order out of chaos. The authority that cops have is a sacred public trust. Most officers carry out their duties proudly and honorably, but there will always be a few who abuse that trust. The short essays here are about both sides of that issue. These answers are also about separating some of the myths of police work from the reality. There have been so many dramatic depictions of law enforcement, some of them very realistic and others that seem realistic, that people tend to believe they know how cops work and why they do what they do. Here, I've tried to give you the straight scoop, knowledge accumulated from my own experience and from knowing cops from all over the country and the world. Some of it isn't flattering, but otherwise it wouldn't be honest. I hope you enjoy and benefit from these insights into police work. Tim Dees EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Is It TRUE That Parking Patrol Officers Can NOT Stop Writing A Ticket Once They Have Started? Some agencies do in fact have a policy that an officer, police, parking or otherwise, can't discard a citation once they have started writing it. Virtually all of them have some process for voiding a citation issued in error once the citation has been issued, but this process is carefully monitored to prevent abuse. Absent a monitored process, the system is easily manipulated. Someone makes a call to a person in the police department who has influence, and that person contacts the officer who issued the ticket. They persuade the officer to void the ticket. If the voided ticket appears to be correct in format, e.g. license plate matches the vehicle description, violation is appropriate for that location, etc. then whoever is in charge of reviewing the voided citations is supposed to follow up and find out if the citation was voided for a legitimate reason or as a favor to someone. Most of the time, when the issuing officer has started the citation form (and many of them are generated via handheld computer these days) and the violator runs up and asks them to stop, the violation is legitimate, and the officer has already looked around for the driver of the vehicle. The typical complaint is "but I was just gone for a minute" (which may or may not be true). In any event, there is seldom a provision in the law for parking there for a minute-you aren't supposed to park there at all. So, in short, it's usually true that the officer is not supposed to stop once they have begun issuing the citation. Buy the book to read more!
Download or read book Become a Problem Solving Crime Analyst written by Ronald Clarke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime analysis has become an increasingly important part of policing and crime prevention, and thousands of specialist crime analysts are now employed by police forces worldwide. This is the first book to set out the principles and practice of crime analysis, and is designed to be used both by crime analysts themselves, by those responsible for the training of crime analysts and teaching its principles, and those teaching this subject as part of broader policing and criminal justice courses. The particular focus of this book is on the adoption of a problem solving approach, showing how crime analysis can be used and developed to support a problem oriented policing approach – based on the idea that the police should concentrate on identifying patterns of crime and anticipating crimes rather than just reacting to crimes once they have been committed. In his foreword to this book, Nick Ross, presenter of BBC Crime Watch, argues passionately that crime analysts are 'the new face of policing', and have a crucial part to play in the increasingly sophisticated police response to crime and its approach to crime prevention – 'You are the brains, the expert, the specialist, the boffin.'

Download or read book Police Work written by Cory Hartley and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people assume that being a cop is like what they see on TV. They think it's a high drama fast-paced career with car chases and gunfights. The reality isn't quite so intense. Law enforcement is a dangerous profession, but the majority of police work is pretty dull. Police work is mostly a compilation of speaking with people who don't want to speak with you or who are distraught over why they need to speak to you in the first place. There are gunfights, SWAT calls, car chases, robberies in progress, and several other calls that raise the blood pressure. But by-in-large, the majority of police work is responding to late reports and recording what happened in an objective, chronological, and accurate way. Just like with the work, people often have a misconception about the types of people who become cops. They think that only people with extreme personalities can be police officers when really the exact opposite is true. Most cops are normal blue-collar workers who share a common set of core principles. They're all honest, hard-working, brave, and logical people who have good intentions, but who sometimes enter into a law enforcement career without understanding what law enforcement is all about.I wrote this book because I've seen too many people get into police work without understanding what it is. They start their careers with noble intentions only to be torn down and destroyed from the stress of the job or their own failed ambitions. Police work isn't necessarily difficult, but it carries a large amount of responsibility. The weight of that responsibility is too much for some people, and it's misunderstood by others. This book is a complete guide to understanding what the job is as a police officer. It will tell you what it means to be a cop as well as how to be successful at modern policing. It breaks down your responsibilities in ways that remove any confusion and it'll prepare you for what you should do in any given situation. I wrote this book using basic, direct language so it's impossible to misinterpret; It's a book written by a cop for cops. This book is specifically aimed at educating new cops, or anyone who's considering a career in law enforcement. But, with that being said, it's also extremely beneficial for veteran police officers as a means of strengthening their skills and helping them transition from being an average cop, into being a consummate professional. The skills and insights I share throughout this book are pieces of information that can create a foundation for new officers or sharpen pre-existing but as-of-yet unrealized potential in veterans. The subjects covered in this book were specifically chosen for inclusion because they're the most germane to success in law enforcement. Examples of the topics covered in this book include officer safety, departmental perception, gaining voluntary compliance, criminal interdiction, interview and interrogation, and critical incidents. I've also added in a few chapters about how to get hired as a cop and how to promote once you've started working so you can increase your likelihood of rising to the position that you want within your department. I've learned throughout my career that police work is less about protecting and serving and more about doing your job reliably without making waves or opening your department up to liability. That's the kind of information I'll teach you throughout this book. It's the kind your agency won't come out and say, but it's the most important information you could know to be successful in law enforcement. Reading this book will give you a safeguard against poor training. It'll keep you from becoming a departmental scapegoat if you're unlucky enough to have substandard training officers. To be a cop is to be the vanguard of your community. Thank you for considering a career in law enforcement. I look forward to the honor of teaching you how to do the job.
