Law Officer magazine is published to support law enforcement by providing the best tactics, technology and training information to police officers from entry level through middle management.

Our Editor is Captain Dale Stockton, a 25-year-veteran of the Carlsbad (Ca.) Police Department. Stockton has achieved national recognition in both his law enforcement and publishing career. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, the California Supervisory Leadership Institute, the Southwest Command College, and has served as a Commissioner for California POST, the agency responsible for recruitment and training standards for all California police officers. Stockton teaches college level criminal justice courses and is regarded as the most widely published writer/photographer in the law enforcement market.

Jeff Berend, Elsevier Public Safety Publisher/Vice President for 14 years, serves as the publisher of Law Officer magazine. “We bring our award-winning approach to public safety magazine publishing to law enforcement. We’ve heard from officers and vendors alike that there’s a real need for a publication like this. We’ve assembled a stellar ‘insider’ publishing team—supported by our ability to deliver on our promises as a result of our corporate backing from Elsevier.”

Marshall Spevak, who has 18-years experience in law enforcement publishing, is Associate Publisher/Advertising Director.
