For the first time, a comprehensive text has brought together the major topics concerning police liability. It is written from the perspective of a ten-year police veteran - written by a cop for cops. It will help the average cop understand and cope with a frightening area of today's society, as well as help current and future police administrators under stand how to deal with civil liability. Today's police officer is twenty times more likely to be sued than to be shot. Yet, the average police officer has received a hundred times more training on fire arms use than in learning how to protect oneself from the civil lawsuit. With the number of lawsuits against individual officers and departments on the rise, we can no longer ignore the need to educate ourselves against the threat of civil liability. This book acts as a road map of basic training to find the way through the labyrinth of our civil justice system. No other book attacks the problem of understanding the growing theories of police civil liability. Whether used in a college classroom, academy, or personal library, this is must reading for every police officer working today. Those who arm themselves in this knowledge area can survive the horrendous attacks by money-hungry litigants and will be better prepared to lead the law enforcement community into the next century.

"With the acceptance of computers in our everyday life, a new line of crime has emerged revolving around the computer. Just as computers make daily transactions more efficient, they have also made many crimes more efficient. This trend is likely to continue, and for that reason alone police investigators should make themselves better prepared for computer related crime investigations. Divided into four sections, this book proposes theoretical and practical information, interventions, directives, and ideas. This text will be a useful resource for law enforcement professionals, criminal justice students, security professionals, and private business."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
