The only current authorized edition of the classic work on parliamentary procedure--now in a new updated edition Robert's Rules of Order is the recognized guide to smooth, orderly, and fairly conducted meetings. This 12th edition is the only current manual to have been maintained and updated since 1876 under the continuing program established by General Henry M. Robert himself. As indispensable now as the original edition was more than a century ago, Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised is the acknowledged "gold standard" for meeting rules. New and enhanced features of this edition include: Section-based paragraph numbering to facilitate cross-references and e-book compatibility Expanded appendix of charts, tables, and lists Helpful summary explanations about postponing a motion, reconsidering a vote, making and enforcing points of order and appeals, and newly expanded procedures for filling blanks New provisions regarding debate on nominations, reopening nominations, and completing an election after its scheduled time Dozens more clarifications, additions, and refinements to improve the presentation of existing rules, incorporate new interpretations, and address common inquiries Coinciding with publication of the 12th edition, the authors of this manual have once again published an updated (3rd) edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised In Brief, a simple and concise introductory guide cross-referenced to it.

This text is designed for use by police science students or working law enforcement officers offers guidelines for report writing at all levels of law enforcement; investigative reports are stressed. A self-teaching method is employed, in which the student or law enforcement officer reads background information, works through exercises, corrects sentences, and refines final reports; answers follow each activity so that readers may check their work. Chapter headings cover an introduction to reports and report writing; characteristics of a well-written report; steps in report writing; principles of clear writing; grammar; sentences that make sense; spelling and the apostrophe; abbreviations, numbers, and capitalization; the comma; other marks of punctuation; and review and practice. At the end of each chapter is a self-test to help the reader master the skills and principles of the chapter. A final test is provided at the end of the text, and a checklist containing guidelines for evaluating written reports is appended. An index and a list of common abbreviations used in law enforcement reports are also included.

Officers, whether working in patrol, investigation, or custody, are required to write reports every day. These reports will be used during the course of criminal investigations, prosecutions of suspects and incarcerations of convicted felons. Excellent reports help prosecutors convince a judge or jury that the accused did in fact commit the crime. Report Writing for Police and Correctional Officers provides potential and in-service officers an opportunity to strengthen their writing ability by presenting a brief introduction to the written English language, as well as specific police and correctional related report writing skills.
