There is a lot of truth to that statement. In fact, many times you are expected to know the law better than most lawyers!

For over 20 years the California Peace Officers Legal Sourcebook has been a standard reference tool for Law Enforcement personnel and has been used for promotional exams and training throughout the State of California.

This book will arm law enforcement personnel with the knowledge to succeed at their jobs and provide basic legal principles and information, often with specific examples, to help you exercise good judgment. As an educational and training text you will learn how "the law" relates to the many different aspects of your job and provides a means of helping you keep up with the major changes in criminal law.

This Sourcebook has a "conviction bias." If the purpose of your investigation is to just arrest or confiscate property rather than convict, this Sourcebook is not for you. If you are interested in increasing your professionalism through knowledge of the law and learning techniques which will result in obtaining and upholding convictions, read this book.
