How to Solve a Case: Criminal Investigation for Police Officers
This criminal investigation manual stands out from the rest for three reasons:
1) It applies to police officers in all countries, whether USA, Australia, France, Kenya or China. It doesn’t become bogged down with details of the law in one country or another.
2) This is a working manual designed for the field officer or street investigator. It can be carried on a kindle and serve as a reference guide from the crime scene through to the eventual arrest of a suspect.
3) Most of all, this manual is “practical”. Many investigation manuals are so concerned with the law and court decisions that they forget to tell you how to actually solve a crime and apprehend the perpetrator. Others approach investigation from only a forensic application and forget that about ninety percent of crimes are solved using logic, deduction and human witnesses. This manual also does what most police colleges do not….teach you the often neglected art of recruiting confidential informants, gathering intelligence on organized crime, legally getting suspects to confess, and much more practical street detective work.
The author is a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who has worked within Canada, the USA and even lived in China studying police training and operations in that country. In the RCMP he was assigned to the Major Crimes Section, Drug Section and Organized Crime Intelligence, as well as instructing at the Canadian Police College and being Managing Director of a renowned Law Enforcement Academy.
