Customer Reviews

Indespensible

An excellent book for officers and supervisors alike. Chapters were well organized and material referenced appropriately. Following the book, any officer or supervisor will make better, more sound decisions on discipline. If you are a supervisor, you MUST read this book. It provides a wealth of information, enough for a two week training course.

A must-have for anyone involved in police supervision

As an Internal Affairs commander and, later, Chief of Police, the various editions of this book have been my first reference for the administrative processes. Now, as a consultant in the area of policy review and internal investigations, I recommend this book to my clients and students. Every police supervisor should have ready access to this book, and it should be on every IA investigator's desk.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I'm a recently appointed supervisor of the Internal Affairs Division and this book contains information that protects both my department as well as the guys and gals employed here. Anyone looking for information relating to regulations pertaining to the Police Officer's Bill of Rights should look into this book.

Every Officer should own this book

This is a must have for every law enforcement officer no matter what his position or title. I wish I could provide everyone in my Department with a copy.

Book Review

This was an excellent read. I must say as a public servent that all police officers should have an up to date copy of this book in his/her bag.
