The handy Manual helps officers make quick decisions and take enforceable action in everyday situations, based on current guidance from the Supreme Court. Defensible police practices are presented with more than 100 practical examples drawn from leading cases. Basic rules of procedure are highlighted in red for quick reference and examples showing how the rules are applied are provided throughout.
The 2011 Edition is designed to provide the immediate answers law officers need, including the latest U.S. Supreme Court decisions on:
* Radical changes to the rules governing searches of vehicles incident to an arrest
* The new rule allowing interrogations of formally charged defendants
* The latest guidance on questioning and frisking during vehicle stops
