This book explains the differences between law enforcement and policing and explains how to do them in an effective, efficient, and economical manner. It presents both the academic research on the history, traditions, theories, and contemporary issues in policing as well as the practical application of tactics, techniques, and technology for conducting law enforcement operations.

In addition to surveying the academic research, the author brings to this book experience from more than 38 years in law enforcement at the city, county, state, and federal levels, as well as experience as a licensed attorney-at-law and a former military officer. His treatment explains law enforcement operations in city, county, state, federal, institutional, and special enforcement agencies throughout the United States, covering operational tactics, techniques, and technology in patrol, traffic enforcement, crime prevention, criminal investigations, vice and narcotics control, and supervision, leadership, management, and administration of law enforcement and homeland security agencies.

This book goes beyond the standard sociological text on policing to bridge the gap between theory and practice. It is essential reading for law enforcement leaders, officers, and trainees and is appropriate for students in law enforcement and criminal justice programs.
