Best textbook I have found

I teach a report writing course at a local community college. I receive dozens of textbooks every year to review on criminal justice, many of them purported to be "report writing made easy" manuals. Mostly they are complex re-hashes of English grammar and writing composition, but do not really delve into the nuts and bolts of police report writing. I have used this text, and its various editions, for 9 years. It is easy to use. The book is layed out in a logical sequence to assist the new report writer in grasping the complexities of police reports and the exercises used in the book emphasize simplicity and proper English grammar. A must book for anyone who is a cop or is contemplating a career as a law enforcement officer.
