Write to Protect and Serve is the only guide on police report writing an officer will need. Written for officers at all levels, this book discusses proper notetaking at the scene of the crime, different elements of police reports, and compliance writing. An entire chapter is dedicated to audio and visual writing exercises and examples from real cases, so that officers can write the most accurate report possible.
