| Description |
The authors’ combined 50 years as peace officers, college instructors, and law enforcement trainers provide a unique approach to the basic concepts of preliminary investigations. While written for lower division college students with no investigative background, it is also valuable to criminal justice professionals. The text begins with the basics of preliminary investigation, accreditation, rules of evidence, and Constitutional case law. Building on these chapters, the authors use real life case experiences to explore and explain virtually every type of investigation, surveillance techniques, infiltration of criminal organizations, media releases, interview & interrogation, and court appearance.
