Description
Have you ever wondered about the differences between City, State and Federal Law Enforcement? How about, who's really in charge and why? What about the basic approach cops take when tackling a crime? If you've had any of the above questions, From a Cop's Viewpoint: Investigations 101 is the place for you. Written as a combination anecdotal, source and procedural book for writers wanting to accurately portray law enforcement, both in characterization and in investigation procedure. This book was written to hopefully entertain while imparting knowledge. My goal is to make the journey enjoyable for writers and non-writers alike.

M.A. Taylor spent over twenty years in law enforcement. The first seven years were with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), although she loved the fun and excitement of patrol, her experiences during special assignments left her wanting more. Margaret left the CHP to become a Special Agent for the California Department of Justice (DOJ), spending over ten years in Narcotics. Four of those years Margaret was assigned to a Federal DEA-HIDTA Task Force. In the Division of Gambling Control (DGC), she investigated Tribal Casinos and California Card Clubs. Margaret moved over to California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and specialized in sexual predators. Her areas of expertise range from surveillance to wiretaps to Tribal Gaming, sexual predators and many others.
