Bulletproof Report Writing: A Field Guide for Law Enforcement (Search & Seizure Survival Guides) Paperback – March 13, 2020

Report writing is probably not my favorite part of the job. Good documentation and articulation is something that seems to take some experience. This book is laid out in a format that's easy to follow and will help the new and experienced LEO alike in writing reports that will hold up under scrutiny. Would make a great gift for the LEO in your life.

Great book lots of interesting information

I teach report writing at my agency and this text should be issued to all LEOs everywhere. Mic drop. Exit stage right.

This book is a must-have for the law enforcement professional!

Good book for new and veteran officers on report writing. Gives lots of suspect indicators on what to look for.

This book has some very specific legal language that is not used in my area. However, the information provided is sound and offers good principles to establish solid reports. Some specific language and identifiers are universal in law enforcement. The book may not help you in every facet of your writing given your local legal requirements but it offers good insight to the importance of detail and what detail is important. I found this book helpful on those levels and agree with many of the ideas within.

Vast majority of this book is the author repeating the same elements required for different crimes. For example, for every crime the author repeats to "establish the crime occurred in your jurisdiction". Things that are so simple they shouldnt need to be said. It has some good basic info and tips but nothing that justifies a $25 price tag.

I’m a police officer, not an attorney. With that being said, I found many flaws in this book. Typos, repeated statements (many) and in most of the chapters it has writings about “inhalants”. Clearly the writer did not proof read. Waste of money.
