SummaryTable of Contents
This text is a comprehensive presentation of what police do and how, with emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, and community involvement.

This book goes beyond the traditional focus on the patrol function of policing, but is still geared toward the student pursuing a career in law enforcement.
