Litigation may involve suits by the public against officers and the administration, actions by the administration against officers, or actions by officers against the administration or members of the public they serve. Knowledge of these risks and understanding how they arise are essential to law enforcement officers, administrators, and their legal counsel.  Police Liability and Risk Management: Torts, Civil Rights, and Employment Law is written by an attorney and a 34-year law enforcement veteran who knows his way around the streets and the courtroom. Dr. Robert J. Girod combines decades of teaching and practical experience with legal and academic education to compile this practical source of case law and risk management principles. The book is designed to help law enforcement professionals reduce police liability and avoid the risk of litigation—or, in the event a lawsuit does arise—to manage liability and defend themselves.  In our litigious society, suits involving the law enforcement community are becoming a more common occurrence and can destroy an officer’s career or cast a pall on an entire department. By understanding the laws governing these types of issues, law enforcement professionals are better able to monitor the sources of liability and implement risk management strategies to shield their policies, practices, procedures, and protocols from the danger of liability.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49507090727185,"sku":"CIN1466593121G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1466593121.jpg?v=1750858504"},{"product_id":"advanced-criminal-investigations-and-intelligence-operations-book-robert-j-girod-9780367670146","title":"Advanced Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Operations","description":"Tradecraft is a term used within the intelligence community to describe the methods, practices, and techniques used in espionage and clandestine investigations. Whether the practitioner is a covert agent for the government or an identity thief and con man, the methods, practices, tactics, and techniques are often the same and sometimes learned from the same sources. Advanced Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Operations: Tradecraft Methods, Practices, Tactics, and Techniques reveals how intelligence officers and investigators conduct their tradecraft. You’ll learn how to plan an operation, how to build an identity and cover story for deep cover operations, and how to detect those who have created false identities for illegal purposes. You’ll also get insight into the technical aspects of intelligence (the INTs), counterintelligence, and criminal investigations, and legal considerations for conducting intelligence investigations.     Topics include:            A discussion of black bag operational planning    HUMINT (human intelligence)—the gathering of information from human sources    DAME (defenses against methods of entry), forced entry into buildings, safes and combination locks, and automobile locks    PSYOPS (psychological operations) and the use of social networks    ELINT (electronic intelligence) and SIGINT (signals intelligence)—electronic interception of intelligence, bugs, wiretaps, and other communications interceptions    EMINT (emanations intelligence), which concerns the emanation of data, signals, or other intelligence from C4I systems    IMINT (imagery intelligence), involving any intelligence gathered using images    Intelligence files and analytical methods        Based upon the author’s training and experience over more than three decades as a law enforcement investigator and military officer, as well as research conducted as an attorney and in academia, the book provides you with an insider perspective on sensitive covert and overt operations and sources. Supplemented with roughly 140 illustrations and photos, this collection of special skills and reference materials is essential to the professional investigator and intelligence operative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50040111563025,"sku":"NGR9780367670146","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001647268113,"sku":"NIN9780367670146","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52478722965777,"sku":"NLS9780367670146","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815513485585,"sku":"CIN0367670143VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367670143.jpg?v=1750739633"},{"product_id":"logical-investigative-methods-book-robert-j-girod-9780367870140","title":"Logical Investigative Methods","description":"All too often, professional investigations fail because those involved jump to conclusions and draw faulty premises that leave the trail cold.
