Synopsis:

This book is written from the perspective of the law enforcement agent in order to convey practical advice to officers writing reports. Recognizing the need for an English guide that does not dwell on the intricacies of the English language, Meier and Adams have organized the text around common mistakes police officers actually make in their reports, and they then present methods to avoid them. The authors have approached report writing in a non-traditional and humorous way. Plain English for Cops can be used in basic training academies, field training officer programs, and remediation programs for veteran officers. It can also be used in other areas such as private security, corrections, or any other occupation where narrative reports are important. Plain English for Cops is a "non-textbook." It uses a non-technical approach to police report writing that is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply. This is a valuable resource for anyone in the law enforcement or security fields.
