Flushing, New York—Rock-Solid Police Reports That Win in Court: Balancing Detail, Clarity & Brevity for Maximum Impact, a unique new release from Looseleaf Law Publications, offers law enforcement professionals the rare and powerful opportunity to learn how to improve their report-writing abilities through the combined skills of professionally trained writer and police officer Andie Metzger. This is not a book filled with generic classroom theory and impractical knowledge. It’s a conveniently compact goldmine of practical police report-writing expertise that’s been applied in the real world, by a real officer who knows firsthand the challenges, frustrations and pitfalls of law enforcement report writing.
“Officers can be extraordinarily effective on the street, but if their reports are weak, even the seemingly strongest cases can fall apart in court,” says Michael Loughrey, President of Looseleaf Law Publications. “Law enforcement report writing can be an extreme challenge for many officers. Clearly articulating the details of police encounters in an understandable and succinct, yet thorough and professionally accurate fashion is difficult, particularly given the tremendous importance put on these reports. Andie’s position as a top journalism graduate and seasoned writer combined with her very personal understanding of police work helps her present reporting tips for officers in a way they can relate to and completely trust as necessary and relevant.”
Topics include guidance on using an “outline approach” to keep your reports thorough, sequential and understandable, help with avoiding commonly misused words that can decrease your credibility and weaken your reports, advice on using street jargon wisely to strategically bolster your reports without appearing unprofessional, and instruction on understanding how to keep your reports factual and not inappropriately conclusive.
