The Reference Collection Includes:

California Peace Officers Legal Sourcebook

Written and updated by the California Department of Justice, the Sourcebook has been the primary teaching and training manual for all California Peace Officers since it was first published in 1984.

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.
