STREET CRIMES INVESTIGATIONS
A Street Cop's Guide to Solving Felony Crimes
by Donovan Jacobs
In reality, 95 percent of cases investigated by patrol officers are street
crimes-muggings, assaults, rapes, car thefts and residential burglaries.
Street Crime Investigations, the follow-up to the best-selling book Street
Cop, guides you through the entire investigative process of these types
of crimes...not as it's taught in the police academy but rather as streetwise
veteran cops go about the business of bringing the "perp" to justice.
Ex-cop Donovan Jacobs reveals the ins and outs of developing leads; identifying
and locating suspects; conducting photos and "curbstone" lineups;
balancing "by the bood" procedures with the realities of an active
street investigation; interviewing victims and interrogating suspects to
get at the vital information quickly; plus useful tips for working with
detectives, soliciting the help of fellow officers, arresting booking, writing
reports, testifying in court and much more.
