  • The best book for cops who have to testify in court.
This is the best book I could find on this topic. It is truly excellent. As the title implies, this is specifically aimed at law enforcement officers (as opposed to experts testifying in civil trials). I have read this book several times, and I have loaned it to co-workers. The author knows what he is talking about, and he tells you what you need to know. Reading this gave me a lot of confidence. I have attended two law enforcement academies, and what I got from this book was far more useful than anything I ever learned in school. I really like where he describes the tricks and traps used by defense attorneys. I have looked at other books on this topic, but nothing I have found comes close to this. ... show more

  • Good easy read with tons of information
This is a great book for officers. The book covers everything from the history of jury’s, the jury picking process, direct and cross examination, all the way to how to dress. Definitely recommend this book. Good easy read too.

  • The Guide
I'm not a big book reader, but this book keep my interest 100%. I highly recommend this book for anyone straight out of the police academy, any and all medical examiners, connors etc... I gained a better knowledge of the different ways and personalities of prosecutors, defense attorneys and lawyers. And how they "make their moves on you" in court and "the heads up" that are mentioned are very valuable information. This book makes suggestions for you to follow which I highly recommend for you to follow them. Ask me how I know. I wish I had this book a few years ago. ... show more

  • Vukelic's Insight
This book is a must for every law enforcement officer's library of professional development. As sheriff of Hettinger County, I've made the reading of this book mandatory for all of my deputies for their professional development. Several trick of the lawyer's trade are revealed (do's and don't while on the stand). What is particularly usful is the state's attorney/law enforcement officer's relationship in preparing cases. I've heard horror stories reference the sometime strained relations between the two. If this is the case with you and yours, this book will better prepare you for the stand. From what's needed before and during trial to becoming a better witness are all revealed in this book. My favorite section is surviving cross-examintion. ... show more

  • Ridiculously over priced
The number of pages of information this author offers you in this title is ridiculously over priced considering the professional audience it's written for. Like most books written for the police field, the authors expect LEOs to dish out $30-100 for most material that contributes little info of value at such an exorbitant amount. Most of the material is this book is available elsewhere for free; internet, review with states attorney, etc. Be more resourceful and save the bucks! ... show more

He offers easy to understand advice, practical tips on how to prepare for court, as well as what to expect and what to do once on the stand.
