Despite the many day-to-day difficulties that accompany the dangerous, fast-paced, and stressful world of law enforcement, police officers must think quickly, respond appropriately, and most importantly, know the law.

Police officers and trainees can feel confident that they are complying fully with today’s legal requirements and making solid cases with the 2014 Edition of The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual—offering quick guidance based on Supreme Court rulings and other legal developments. This 4" x 6" guide covers arrest, search, surveillance, and other routine, as well as sensitive, areas of law enforcement in an easy-to-use, tabbed format.

No matter the situation, the Pocket Manual provides the answers officers need—whether in training sessions, in daily briefings, or on the scene.

The 2014 Edition reflects important new developments in law enforcement procedure, including: 

  • U.S. Supreme Court decisions on use of drug detection canines
  • U.S. Supreme Court decision on obtaining blood samples from drunk driving suspects
  • U.S. Supreme Court decision on detaining people during execution of search warrants
  • Lower federal court rulings on computer searches and searches of cell phones

With more than 100 practical examples drawn from the facts of leading cases, The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual provides specific guidance on how to act on the spot in a wide variety of situations. Basic rules are highlighted for quick reference, and examples showing how rules are applied are provided throughout the Pocket Manual—and it’s written in plain English by the experienced legal editors of Bloomberg BNA’s Criminal Law Reporter.

About the Editor
Hugh B. Kaplan is a Legal Editor of Bloomberg BNA’s Criminal Law Reporter.

“I’ve been using The Law Officer’s Pocket Manual since the beginning of my career in 1979. The breadth of information in this handy little manual is astounding … like having an expert tutor in contemporary criminal justice and Jurisprudence. No police officer should be without this guide.” 
—Chief Vincent T. Carlone

“I made great use of The Law Officer's Pocket Manual while serving as a police officer. Now that I'm “retired” and teaching high school Criminal Justice, I find the same resource that served me so well in my police duties helping me to teach my high school students. The manual is concise and well written, in terms that students can easily comprehend. The Law Officer's Pocket Manual is a valuable resource for my classroom.”
