Description
Legal Guide for Police: Constitutional Issues, 12th Edition, is a valuable tool for criminal justice students and law enforcement professionals, bringing them up-to-date with developments in the law of arrest, search and seizure, police authority to detain, questioning suspects and pretrial identification procedures, police power and its limitations, and civil liability of police officers and agencies. Including specific case examples, this revised edition provides the most current information for students and law enforcement professionals needing to develop an up-to-date understanding of the law.
Authors Walker and Hemmens have included introductory and summary chapters to aid readers in understanding the context, importance, and applicability of the case law. All chapters have been updated to reflect U.S. Supreme Court decisions up to and including the 2021 term of court. Important cases added to this edition include: Caniglia v. Strom (2021) (warrantless search), Kansas v. Glover (2020) (vehicle stop), Mitchell v. Wisconsin (2019) (warrantless drawing of blood), Rivas-Villegas v. Cortesluna (qualified immunity), and Nieves v. Bartlett (2018) (retaliatory arrest). A helpful Appendix contains the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment, and a Table of Cases lists every case referenced in the text.

Reviews / Votes
"Walker and Hemmens do a brilliant job of writing about complex cases and law so that the average reader and layman can comprehend the text. Even as a 13 year veteran, I gained valuable knowledge from the dozens of examples provided so that I could be better prepared on the street when making split second decisions; this is especially the case when covering search and seizure law. Overall, I would consider this one of the best books on the topic of constitutional law and its application to law enforcement that I have read. I highly recommend it."Marcus Downey, Sergeant, Alexandria Police Department
