“This text provides supervisors and police academy instructors with a new tool to discuss day-to-day functions with new and experienced officers. It is something we’ve needed for a long time. It gets to the core of what patrol officers do on a daily basis.” (James H. Lilley, Sergeant, Howard County Police Department (retired))
“If we are going to make progress in advancing police/community relations, we need to focus on patrol officers and the work they do in our neighborhoods and communities. How they interact with people, handle calls, protect homes and small businesses, influence our children, and solve problems is more important to me than how the police department is organized or how many new programs it initiates. This text gives new perspective on how the officers assigned to our community do their job.” (Stuart M. Brooks, Community leader, Business owner)
“Mastery of Police Patrol provides what we need to help people in other fields better understand the work of police officers. Politicians, attorneys, university teachers and researchers, community leaders, public health officials, and others draw conclusions about the police often without sufficient awareness of how they approach their routine and extraordinary tasks. This text provides insight into frontline police operations and how theory and evidence is put into practice.” (Mark Gabriele, Asymmetric Operations Sector, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Captain, Maryland State Police (retired))()
