The Police Policy Studies Council - A Research-Based,
Interdisciplinary, Training and Consultation Corporation - This is a really
good site. Use of force by police officers is a big deal these days. The PPSC
Staff Views section of this site should be read by every person seriously
considering a police career. Unlike many law enforcement research sites where
theory outweighs the substance, the PPSC Staff Views present use of force
issues logically and free of ambiguity.

Federal Bureau of Investigation:
Uniform Crime Reports - A police chief once
posted a sign in his headquarters which read,
"We're not report takers, we're the police." The
chief must have had a lot on his mind when he
approved that one. Aside from actively
protecting life and property, a police officer's
most important function is to accurately report
crime. Without a police report of crime, crime
does not officially exist.The police report is the
basis for all crime fighting necessities from a
police department's budget to its crime mapping,
and the efficient and effective deployment of
police officers.
If you become a police officer, you'll soon learn
how much police officers hate writing reports.
Unfortunately, a lot of police leadership do little to
improve police officers' attitudes toward report

Fraternal Order of Police - The Fraternal Order of Police, or FOP,
represents a lot of police officers across the nation. As you narrow down the
number of police departments you're considering for a police career, go to this
site and link to the FOP Lodge websites for those police departments. The
quality of a Lodge website can give you a pretty good idea of its effectiveness,
and a well updated site will give you good insight into the working environment of
the police officers it represents.

Hendersonville Police Department -
Hendersonville, Tennessee is a community of
40,000 plus population. The Hendersonville
Police Department maintains a patrol force of 53
members; specialized assignments, and support
staff, are in addition to that number. While
Hendersonville would not be classified as a large
police department, it certainly is not small.
Hendersonville is a great snapshot of how most
police departments in the United States are
staffed and organized...or, at least should be.
This web site is easy to navigate. All the
information is clean, crisp, and informative. After
visiting this site, you'll have a better
understanding of what a medium sized American
police department is all about.

PoliceDriving.com - The automobile... friend and foe: During my thirty-two years of operating police
vehicles, I can only recall one time when I received any actual driver's training beyond my original police academy
training. It didn't amount to much. As I recall, the highlight was negotiating those red street cones at a slow
speed. Annual In-Service training classes would discuss high speed pursuit and intervention issues, but there
was no driver's training to prepare for those circumstances.
Don't be fooled by all that chasing and bumping you see on cable news. Most police departments don't train for
those situations, and most police departments discourage you from engaging in chases and interventions. I'm not
going to go on about this, because I have a chapter on this in my book. But, I strongly encourage you to visit this
site, because the way you operate a police vehicle falls under one of the five indispensable truths for a successful
police career... matters of life and death.

Kristieslaw.org - I wasn't going to discuss vehicle pursuits at any more length; until, I came across this site. If
you're going to be a police officer, you must spend some time at this site. It's not very uplifting, because it
chronicles the deaths of a lot of innocent men, women, and children resulting from police vehicle pursuits. It
discusses police department pursuit policies, or the lack of policies... but, don't get hung up on that part of it.
I can't imagine how horrible it must be to lose a loved one as a result of a police vehicle pursuit. I do know it
wouldn't make any difference to me whether it was the bad guy's car, or the police car, that killed my loved one.
The grief, and the question, would be the same... "Why?"
Police departments have been in a dilemma for years regarding pursuit policies, and they'll be in that same
dilemma for years to come. I've got the life and work experience to understand every aspect of police pursuits,
and I'm still in a dilemma. I do know this for certain... it all comes down to you. You're going to be the police
officer behind the wheel of that police cruiser. Here's something else that's as certain as the next sunrise... a
pursuit is a lot easier to start than it is to stop.

Sexual Harassment - Sexual harassment is a very real problem in the workplace for those accused as well as
victims. This subject probably isn't on your radar at this stage in your career development, but it should be. If
you become a victim of sexual harassment, it will wreck havoc on your police career. If you're accused of sexual
harassment, rightly or wrongly, it could end your police career.

U.S. Constitution: Fourth Amendment - Search and Seizure - "The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be
seized." In order for you to be successful in your police career, you need to develop a firm grasp of search and
seizure. Most police officers will never write a search and seizure warrant. Most feel it's just too difficult and time
consuming. These are the same police officers who rely on consent searches which ultimately sustain little
credibility. Search and seizure warrants are not difficult to prepare, and, like everything else, practice makes
perfect. The only difficulty you'll never be able to resolve is the timely availability of a judge to sign your warrant.

Police Abuse Websites - Sites Dedicated to Exposing Police Abuse - Since you're on this page, you're
probably considering a career in law enforcement. If you do become a police officer, you may think the only
dangers you'll face will come from people we commonly label as criminals. Wrong. It's a trifecta my friend, and
the racing analogy fits, because once you understand that criminals; other police officers, and police watchers
can all be detrimental to your well being, you become a winner. These few sites will give you an excellent insight
into the police watcher segment of your police career working environment. If, after viewing these sites, you come
away with a twinge of paranoia. . . that's good! Police officers are just as imperfect as anyone, and police
watchers get very good at exploiting those imperfections. Your best defense against the police watchers will
always be your professionalism. Yes... I know, it's a very overused term, so let's put it this way... don't get
emotional, and think before you speak.

Police Training Commissions - Programs - Councils - (Page One- Alabama thru Mississippi) -

officers throughout that state. Some are more formal than others, but all have the same basic goals. These
commissions, programs, councils, etc. are good sources of information for those of you contemplating a police

Probable Cause - For some reason, a lot of people have a hard time with this one. While there's no hard and
fast definition for probable cause, it's very easy to understand and apply if one just takes a little time to learn the
elements required to establish probable cause.

observations to justify your reasonable suspicion.

Police Rank Insignias - I've learned that most people aren't all that familiar with military rank insignias used by
police departments. While the military is very uniform in the utilization of rank insignias, police departments don't
follow the same uniformity. I searched around for a link to explain how police departments utilize these insignias.
While there's plenty of sources regarding the insignias' military usage, I didn't find anything to describe their
varying uses by police departments. So...I made my own page. If you're a little confused, I think this page will

Traffic Accident Investigation - When it comes to traffic accident investigation and reconstruction, police
officers fall into one of three categories...competent; incompetent, and expert. It's easy to become a competent
accident investigator. All you have to do is be competent in everything you do. If you want to become an expert,
it takes a bit more. Accident investigation and reconstruction is an area of specialization which requires a
considerable amount of advanced training.

Miranda Warning - Everybody's heard the TV cops recite, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you
say..." In the beginning, Miranda caused a lot of confusion. It's pretty settled now, and you should not have any
difficulties with your compliance to Miranda. I've made a page which should clear up any questions you might
have about it and when you need to advise a person of his or her right to remain silent.

Police and Paramedics – Police officers and paramedics have a lot in common. The paramedic, like you, will
continually respond to life threatening situations. While the actions you take will occasionally save a life, saving
lives is pretty standard fare for paramedics. When you become a police officer, it won’t take you long to develop
respect and appreciation for the paramedics. However, your level of appreciation will never be fully realized; until,
the day comes when paramedics save your life.

Case Law 4 cops - You're going to learn that there aren't that many police
officers who fully understand why they do things the way they do them... or... are
supposed to do them. At caselaw4cops.net, Lieutenant Ted Belling provides
you with summaries of case law which you'll find more than applicable to your
duties as a police officer. The site also has some great articles by Lieutenant
Belling. As this site grows, I expect the list of articles to expand substantially.
