With a career in law enforcement that spanned nearly two decades, author Lee Lofland is a nationally acclaimed expert on police procedures and crime scene investigations who consults regularly with best-selling authors and television producers. Now you can benefit from his years of experience with Police Procedure & Investigation.
This comprehensive resource includes:
- More than 80 photographs, illustrations, and charts showing everything from defensive moves used by officers to prison cells and autopsies
- Detailed information on officer training, tools of the trade, drug busts, con air procedures, crime scene investigation techniques, and more
- First-person details from the author about his experiences as a detective, including accounts of arrests, death penalty executions, and criminal encounters

This is a good but biased book.by KeikoHP

07/07/2009: This book has a lot of information that's useful if you want to write about the police. I wish he'd put in something about how interrogations are conducted, though. Furthermore, one problem the book had is that it assumes that the police are always the good guys and that they're always right. From my own experience, that isn't true at all.

03/30/2009: This book is very useful for writers who don't have direct experience in a police department but want to include some elements of "police investigation" in their works of fiction.
